I know because John 2:21 says: (Joh 2:21 NKJV) But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

I'll try and explain. In a General Election (when UK citizens vote for candidates to become Members of Parliament), voters in each constituency (electoral district) vote for which candidate they wish to represent them as their Member of Parliament. The candidate with the most votes in each...

I humbly apologise for misreading your post. However, I assure you that it was a careless mis-reading, not dishonesty on my part.

You say there is no gift of grace. Both Peter and James say that there is: Jas_4:6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." 1Pe_5:5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one...

Paul says that the righteousness he is relying on is not his own, but comes from God. You seem most judgmental - I do not only read the words I want to hear. Grace is not a tool or an empowerment. It is God's underserved favour. It is by grace that sinners are saved. They are not given a...

The apostle Paul said that he didn't rely on his own righteousness: (Php 3:7-9 NKJV) But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of...

Just a minor correction. If he was the shadow Home Secretary, that means he is not a member of the UK government, but of the opposition. He is certainly a Member of Parliament (MP for short), as that covers both Government and Opposition. In fact, I looked him up, and he is the Conservative...

Where in the Bible do we read Jesus saying that He is healing the earth and it might take some time?

Yes it is symbolic. Most of Revelation is an account of John's God-given vision(s). Such visions mostly involve symbolism, as when Nebuchadnezzar dreamt of that huge statue, recorded in Daniel 2.

I would say that is supposition. Revelation is mostly an account of the vision(s) given to John, and many things in visions in the Bible are symbolic. We are not told, even symbolically, what the bowls contained, just their effects.

But hot oil was rarely used - it was too expensive. An AI overview says: "While popular movies and TV shows frequently show medieval castle defenders pouring boiling oil on attackers, historical evidence shows that hot oil was rarely used because it was extremely expensive and a precious...

Where do you find that the bowl(s) are hot oil torture? Here are the verses in Revelation that mention the word "bowl" (from the NKJV): Rev_16:2 So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those...

I would say the first one. The shepherds were told by the angel that they would find the Baby lying in a manger, and they did. By the time the wise men got to Bethlehem, it was up to two years later: (Mat 2:16 NKJV) Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became...

I agree. Not my cup of tea at all. And why have the singers got wings?

Yes, I agree with you about Detective Inspector Richard Poole, played by comedian Ben Miller. I also like Commissioner Selwyn Patterson (Don Warrington).

Yes, I like to relax to them. I have probably seen every episode several times, but I invariably notice something new each time I watch.

Yes, we do have some beautiful villages here in the UK. The murder mystery series, "Midsomer Murders" features several.

Sorry, I must have missed the examples of people who were never known by Christ having been true Christians. Have a blessed day yourself.

I certainly don't mean any stubbornness in my posts. You and I don't agree with each other on the matter of whether the people to who Jesus said, "I never knew you" were truly Christians, but that doesn't make either of us stubborn, surely? If you (or anybody else) could show from the Bible...

My point is that Jesus said to these people, "I never knew you." He doesn't say that to His true followers, whom He calls "sheep.": (Joh 10:14 NKJV ) I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. The fact that they call Him "Lord" and say that they have prophesied...
