----------------------------------------------------------------- As believers, we could not be in better hands. Regardless of what occurs or what our old minds may think up, our Father never turns us over to anything but His own training of love-chastening. Nothing ever negative comes from...

Nomad, it appears that I've unintentionally offended you, as possibly evidenced by your unkind statements and if so, my apologies. When you disagree with someone, you should share it in kindness to avoid the possible accusation of being argumentative, which the believer shouldn't engage. "And...

"The Traditional Received Text (Textus Receptus), also called the Byzantine Text or the Majority Text because it is based on the vast majority of manuscripts still in existence." http://www.angelfire.com/la2/prophet1/textusr1.html "The inspired text is more faithfully represented by the...

I'm not sure if we're saying the same thing here but the Textus Receptus is another name for the Traditional Text or Majority Text, which was the primary basis for producing the KJ translations. All other modern translations base their versions mostly on the Minority Text, which is the Critical...

Hi Mjrhealth and God's blessings to your Family! I agree with all you've posted here and thanks for the encouraging reply.

This passage involves caution as to a conclusion concerning the type of preaching; salvation or judgement. I'm in favor of the latter for multiple reasons. These were "disobedient" (v 20) whoever they were (probably those alive during the flood) and the "preaching" wasn't to any OT saints...

Hi Nomad - Many contemporary Bible scalars since the first Revision of 1889 claim that the Comma Johanneum lacks enough manuscript evidence for validation, but their concept conflicts greatly with the scolars of the Reformers. Many are unaware of their practical use of italicizing (KJV, KJ2...

The history of Adam, the moral history, is closed; that is what we were. In all this we have God’s history of man’s responsibility. I find in the Cross that I was in a condition which God must reject. The Lord Jesus has come to be made sin, my sin, and a work has been accomplished according...

Thanks for your reply Rex and God blessings to your Family!

The righteousness of the righteous is that righteousness which is from Christ, for He has been "made unto us . . . righteousness" (1 Co 1:30). The same is for those even before the coming of Christ, which God mentioned to Adam and Eve concerning the coming of Christ; “And I will put enmity...

Since salvation is impossible without faith in Christ, there are two elements of procurement; Faith and Christ. Grace is the source “by” which regeneration is available and faith is the vessel “through” which it is procured; “by grace . . . through faith” and not the invert. It’s not the faith...

The primary difference between Law and Grace isn’t their motives, for both desires to please God. It’s their method; Law has to do with works of the carnal nature - from man towards God. Grace has to do with works of the new nature - through man towards God; it’s all a matter “of the heart, in...

We are not to confound “consciousness of sins with “conscience of sins.” The worshiper once purged has no more conscience of sins in the presence of the Father (Heb 10:2). He knows that if He would impute to him even one single sin, it would involve nothing less than judgment and condemnation...

No translation is perfect, but the written Word of God within a plenary-translation is perfect. So, the translation isn't the issue, it's the Manuscripts used for the translation. The reason for the categorizing of the two Manuscript text sources (Majority/Minority) is due to their contextual...

6-21. PERSONIFICATION "God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction" (Genesis 41:52). To share what we have may minister temporarily to the physical; but to minister to the spiritual in an eternal way we must share what we are, and that calls for growth in the Lord Jesus...

Hi Jiggyfly - I would need specific Scripture passages to address your questions.

Hi Mungo - God's blessings to your Family! I could answer your questions but if you would, I'd like to direct you to something I hope will be more completer. You can ask me whatever you like after viewing it or not. Thanks for yor reply and your questions are very valid...

----------------------------------------------------------------- It is sometimes the trials of seemingly empty-meaninglessness that can be the most surprising because there’s nothing to see, only feel. Unlike trials that involve visible elements whereby we can utilize our senses, trials...

Rom 7:10-18 are those without Christ because the accusations are not fitting of one born-again. Paul's quotes in these verses are from Psalm 14 which is directed to the unrighteous. Your correct that Romans 3 (and the entire Bible) addresses the saved but in this it discusses the lost.

Your reply here agrees with mine and Son of Man in that the righteousness of Christ is imputed to those who are His. Romans 3 concerns those who are without God and therefore, are without His righteousness. There is no righteousness apart from Him and so we have none--it's His we stand in.
