How do you think sanctification works? You may be justified, that is declared righteous. What about your actual character? You think that's good enough for the company of angels and God Himself?

I'm not talking about language. I'm talking about carnal motives and selfishness. Don't ignore the rest of the post.

You asked @Phoneman777 the same question. I'm curious. Why do you think it so difficult to obey, that you should be so relieved you are no longer obliged to do so ( wrongly I believe).

So how do our prayers ascend to the throne room without first being translated into the will of the Father if Christ is not interceding on our behalf? Is He not our High Priest? Think about the OT sanctuary, a type and prophetic picture of the gospel. A. The sacrifice takes place in the...

“From eternity there was a complete unity between the Father and the Son. They were two, yet little short of being identical; two in individuality, yet one in spirit, and heart, and character.” There is a difference between the Father and the Son. They are not exactly the same. One difference...

Amen. I remember 25 years ago now, kneeling before God and pleading and crying for mercy, after 20 years of confusion and struggle with ups and downs in faith and practise, not knowing what was truth and what wasn't, imploring God to start again with me. To treat me as ignorant and void of all...

Always, Jesus was absolutely a different personality than His Father, so I would presume, particularly as a man, He worshipped His Father while on earth as a man. The pre-incarnation Christ however, well, we don't know how that relationship worked do we. Still different personalities, but the...

I appreciate it also, age catches up with us all. I just haven't got into the habit of using it myself yet.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 The words of John 1:1 are probably the most debated in Scripture. Volumes have been written attempting to explain them. Most of the discussions concern what John meant by the phrase “and the Word was God”...

Self discipline sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. When it does, we take the glory for our own accomplishments. Leads to pride. Let God take away all our addictions, bad habits, and love for the world and things thereof. Let self discipline indeed be operative in the life, but toward Bible...

There's a very simple test in discerning whether spirits, or men, are true or false. Compare with scripture. All of scripture. Not just those texts that seem to agree with ones preconceived opinions, or lying spirits will have a field day with your mind. Compare scripture with scripture. Plead...

You misapply faith alone. Having a correct understanding of what protestants actually mean when they speak of faith alone may help you to appreciate more the truth of the gospel... Grace and mercy and redemption through the blood of Christ to be obtained through faith, the righteousness of...

It's interesting that the smoke and dust from the volcanic eruption in Tonga has circled the planet twice as of last week.

Samuel was dead. His body turning to dust. With what was this Samuel now using to talk?

I'm curious how a post without any reference to a scripture whatsoever qualifies as "Bible study"?

Well, I'm very glad to hear that. So you don't steal anymore? Or covet right? Are you therefore obeying those Commandments in order to be saved Robert?

Dead people can't speak, or hear. They're dead. Waiting the resurrection. Then they will have a body, and be able to hear, and speak. But over and above all that... Why? Why the need to ask someone in heaven to ask God for something on your behalf? Aren't the living able to do that? Or aren't...

And Texas, and Tennessee, and Arkansas, and Mississippi, and....

I appreciate all that you've said, and understand, although imperfectly. I'm looking from about 10,000 miles away. Okay, I guessed and checked. 9803 miles. I'll take that lol. Anyway. I get that the constitution and bill of rights is viewed as a protection against government overreach...

So Lazarus has a finger? Where did he get that from? The rich man has a tongue? A voice? Abraham in glory can see people suffering in hell? I'm sure that's fun. As for those others, they weren't dead. They were either resurrected, or in Elijah's case, translated, but all very much alive. Not...
