May you be strengthened by the Scriptures and prayer, day by day.

Yes, indeed; Ephesians 2.8-9 go together with Ephesians 2.10: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

I think there is both the positional aspect of sanctification which comes with the new birth, and also the aspect as to one's daily condition, as the believer grows in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3). "For this is the will of God, even your...

Yes, it's nice. Seems to be the widely benign and wholesome thing to do to get the second holes done in one's teens, right? (...probably not excluding your family, now or in the future...) And then, typically it's at or around 18 that the new adult (especially young women) - maybe even for the...

Actually I don't see the Lord's Supper in John 6. The Lord Jesus is speaking about faith in Him, not partaking of the emblems. It's faith alone (Eohesians 2) that is to be depended on.

This is part of the message of Galatians also. :)

Well, the focus of what Bible believing Protestants believe is on what Scripture says, as in the verses quoted, and also in passages such as Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22 and 1 Corinthians 11.

Actually the tribulation principle in John 16 is clearly distinct from the great tribulation in Matthew 24 (and it wasn't J N Darby who made it so).

While it always was a thing for young men in the military to some extent, now for young women from 18 onwards it's so seemingly widespread that as an option it's really a bit like getting double pierced ears was 30-40 years ago: maybe a bit edgy at first but soon became very mainstream, right?

Indeed so...

Well, some parts of Australia are tropical, aren't they? ...Unless it's Tasmania or facing the Roaring Forties or someplace...

These days it's often 18, anyway, for first ink. It used to be very much a man thing; although now it's become a very womanly thing to do. (Not surprising that it was your daughters rather than your son that decided to do it, right? Apparently in North America, 59%-70% or more of parlor...

"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15.22).

I too love talking to Roman Catholic people; especially these days, sometimes they have far more Godly fear than other people tend to have. Doctrinally, Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 speak of the finished work of Christ at the Cross. Hebrews 9.26: "..now once in the end of the world hath he...

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

The three groups of people to watch for; not to confuse Israel and the church.

PS: @GodsGrace I see you liked's @Acolyte 's post #53...

I would see the Rapture as relating to the church; while the tribulation saints who emerge afterwards would seem chiefly to be a remnant of Israel.
