Hello @"ByBrace", The prayers in Ephesians and Colossians say it all for me, in regard to what is needed, (paraphrased):- That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of our understanding...

‘For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, Which is the head of all principality and power:’ (Col 2:9)-10 Hello again, When I fully understood the surety of our standing before God in Christ Jesus, and rested on the solid ground of God's promises...

'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. ' (Heb 13:8) Praise God! Hello @Heb13:8, I don't really understand, but I thank you for it. Hypocrisy is a dreadful fault, and I think I may have fallen foul of it. However, it is the subject of the thread which is the problem...

Thank you for responding to my query. @Harvest 1874, by giving me the information that I asked for. It is for me now to exercise the Berean spirit (Acts 17:10-11). ‘And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the...

Hello @Willie T, Your question is not profitable, but the following is:- ‘But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able : .. to make thee...

‘And he (Abraham) believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness.’ (Gen 15:6) Hello again, @101G, In the light of intervening posts, I will keep this brief. Genesis 15, gives an illustration of the meaning of the Hebrew word, 'berith', meaning, 'to cut', for we read that...

Thank you.

Hello there, As you will know the word 'testament' (Gr. diatheke) is the equivalent of the word 'covenant' in the Old Testament (Heb. Berith), as is testified by it's usage, (but not by it's dictionary definition). I think you will find that I added a paragraph to my post, at the same time...

Hi @Josho, The Old Covenant was made with the children of Israel, and the New Covenant will be made with them. They are at present in a Loammi condition, ('not my People') because of their unbelief, so the New Covenant, for which Christ is the mediator, is in abeyance until Israel is restored...

Hi Willie T, It would seem we are in agreement then, Yes? Just don't express it in the same way. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

The ground is cursed though isn't it (Gen.3:17). It was following that first mention of an altar that God said, that He would not curse the ground again (Gen.8:21). It may have no relevance, but I thought I would mention it. 'And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in His...

Goodbye for now, @bbryd009, Enough is enough. Thank you, too. In Christ Jesus Chris

@Willie T, You have emphasising the words, 'For righteousness': but I am in no doubt that Christ has become the end of the law for righteousness, for me. He is my righteousness. Forgive me, I am tired,. Thank you for your time and effort. In Christ Jesus Chris

Of course your questions are not beneath me, @bbyrd009, and I have not avoided any that you have asked. I have not however always understood what you are asking, or why. The Laws of God I will not break because I am law abiding, and do not wish to. It is a matter of conscience. However, it...

Hello @DPMartin, Adam and Eve, only felt shame after eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, prior to that they were in a state of innocence. With knowledge comes responsibility, so the feeling of shame followed. In Christ Jesus Chris

‘For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.’ Rom.10:4 Hello @Willie T, With every epistle written there is a practical section where doctrine is followed by instruction. Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians all contain instruction in how to walk worthy of the...

That won't do, Willie T. It is no answer at all. Just a 'get out' response. What a shame.

Thank you. :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Well, Willie T, I have no idea what you are talking about either. 'Horribly cold'? 'Offended'? The opposite of what Jesus asked of us? - What is? In Christ Jesus Chris

My head is spinning with your constant questioning, and lack of any suitable substantiating facts. Perhaps as you are obviously enlightened you would enlighten me as to the name that you are referring to, because I don't know what you are talking about. Thank you. In Christ Jesus Chris
