You should really read what is actually written. I made it clear that I referred to resurrection life. There is no life apart from resurrection.

That was not what I said, @Willie T, but your interpretation of it. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Abel had Faith.

'By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.' (Heb 11:4) Hello @DPMartin, Both Cain and Abel were born to fallen Adam, and bore his 'likeness', as...

What has made you so unpleasant, @bbyrd009?

Hello @bbyrd009, I do not know the Scripture you are referring to in your last paragraph, but I was thinking of one or two from Ephesians and Colossians, which tells us just where the blessings of the members of the Church which is His Body lie, and in Whom: and as they will be enjoyed fully in...

Hello @GodsGrace. My feelings are fickle, and totally unreliable, but the love of God, expressed through the death and resurrection of His only begotten Son is absolute and sure. He never fails, and His love endures for ever. He takes the unlovely and saves them by His grace, for it was while...

'If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.' (1Cor. 15:19) Hello @ByGrace, I was intrigued by your OP, and on reading the article you highlight, I find myself agreeing with many of it's point. For those of us who have been saved by God's grace, we have...

Hi @bbyrd009 This is something that is reckoned by God to have been done, and it is not something that we can do anyway even if we wanted to. We are to reckon on the efficacy of God's reckoning of faith, based on the finished work of Christ. 'Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead...

' ... For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. ... ' We are so closely identified, in the sight of God, with Christ Jesus our risen Lord, that when He died, we died, in Him; when He was...

'Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: .. Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: .. And every spirit that confesseth not...

'Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.' (Psalm 93:5) 'The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.' (Psa 19:7) Hi Clark, His testimonies are indeed SURE! (Praise God!) They make...

Elohim was the name used when He created the world, which indicates His relation to mankind as His creatures. Jehovah is the same God in covenant relation to those whom He has created. Jah is Jehovah in a special sense and relation. El is the name for God as omnipotent Eloah is Elohim, Who...

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Cor.11:31; Eph.1:3; 1 Pet.1:3) Praise His Name!

Hello @theQuestion, The earth that God created.

@theQuestion, @101G @amadeus @ScottA @VictoryinJesus @"ByGrace" @twinc @truthquest Hello @theQuestion, Thank you for the verses in your OP - (Isa. 55:10, Ecc.1:4; Psa. 37:11; Matt.5:5; 2 Pet.3:13; Rev.11:18; Rev.21:1,5). No, God's purpose for the Earth has not changed. All that He has...

'The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,. yea, than the mighty waves of the sea' (Psalm 93:4) Hi Clark, * I read something today, from Luke 21, which made me think of this verse:- 'And there shall be signs in the sun, .. and in the moon, and in the stars; .... and upon...

Hi there, It comes down to whether you believe God, or don't believe Him. The fact that Satan exists is Biblical fact. So I believe it. The Lord Jesus Christ was tried by Satan, and did not dispute Satan's claim to authority or power. The Lord Jesus Christ cast out demons (devils), during...

'The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.' (Psalms 93:3) Yes, Clark, The working of God's creation is a constant source of wonderment and delight, isn't it? but also of awe, at the power manifested by it. The words, 'the...

@amadeus Yet, Amadeus, you do also believe the Biblical fact, that Satan (Lucifer, the Devil, the Prince of the power of the air, the serpent of Eden and of Revelation) is a created being, an Angel, whose purpose is far greater than that which you describe, don't you? We are led away by the...

Hello @amadeus, The Lord is not called, 'Satan', in 1 Chronicles 21:1. In 2 Samuel 24:1, we have the historical fact. In 1 Chronicles 21:1, we have the real fact from the Divine standpoint. God's permission, but Satan's suggestion. See James 1:13-14. In Christ Jesus Chris
