Jesus was in His Glorified body when they "gazed,saw, watched" Him ascend. Jesus was in His glorified body when He told Thomas to put his very fleshy hand into his wounds. That is not saying that Jesus is not Spirit! You and I are spirits living in mortal bodies. Once we are free from the...

Amen! Reminds me of the unjust judge and the widow ;)

I'm sorry Scott, but I have a hard time following your "logic"?

I'm praying for you too Willie, satan is working overtime lately...I pray that he steals no more joy from Gods children!

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." I know there are many ways to love a brother or sister in Christ but, what should that look like to those "without" the Church? Just looking for others thoughts ♥ @"ByGrace"

"Still, "why are you looking into the sky" for what cannot be seen?" "... This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” So, does "seen" not really mean "seen"?? :confused:

God has given to ALL a measure of faith. "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." Romans 12:3

Indeed Helen, We are promised all kinds of trials and tribulations. Yes, yes, yes-He promises to be WITH us through the storms...opportunities to exercise our faith - and that can be tough to do sometimes...

There IS a significant difference between the two words! So why is it used interchangeably?? And, I do not know why it even bothers me!!! Lol.

I have often wondered about the "age of accountability". It seems that the Hebrew tradition of the Bar and Bat Mitzvah might look at the age of 12? And then you have a scripture about 'he who knows to do right and does not, will be judged' it's in the bible in some variation, lol

"When Jesus returns will He find true faith in the churches?" My guess would be, very little.

Hello @friend of , "I've noticed that younger generations have far less engagement with the churches I've attended recently. I look around and see the pews packed with older folks, but youth seem to be a rare sight. Is this a sign of the times? In a few more decades, churches are foreseeably set...

Hi @farouk, "It" is referring to the FREE unmerited GIFT of salvation. David believes that to "accept" that awesome gift from the Lord Almighty is considered "works".

...Would you refuse the Gift of God??

"Only the self-righteous would accept it. Hard core sinners who only grace can save will not." Is there scripture to back this?

"Or God making salvation available to the self-righteous who because of some inner goodness, choose to obey." Nobody can eve get saved in this way...not one good, no not one... "This of course turns the gospel into law and involves salvation by works, not grace." This still does not address...

Because the fulfillment of His sacrifice had yet to be completed? JMO.

I am trying but just cannot click with this kind of logic Dave. "The word gift is an important one in the Bible, and it is good that we understand its definition and implications. In the New Testament, there are several Greek words translated “gift.” Some of these words are used in contexts...
