The work being spoken of in 1 corinthians 3:8 is the work that Paul and Apollos are doing. The work they're doing is building the temples of God, which is us. Paul is teaching the Corinthians that teachers are important and that some will build with gold, silver and precious stones. Verse...

Hi JIF, Jesus did not lay the foundation. He IS the foundation. 10According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. 11For no man can lay a foundation other than...

Where does it say in Luke 8:18 and forward that "yet he will be saved as by fire". That is your wording.

Of course we are all responsible for our own works. But teachers will be held to a higher standard...because others are in their care. James 3:1 1Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. And James takes this even further and...

Is this a church teaching?? Metaphorically what you say is correct. But the Tree of G and E was put in the Garden,,,for what reason exactly we do not know. Perhaps so God could give we humans a chance to freely choose not to accept evil? We have now, through our ancestor, eaten of the tree of...

Hi E, I agree with you that the bible explains itself and sometimes it's good to go to other verses to understand scripture being studied. There are many cases when this is not necessary because the passage is so clear. This is one of those cases and I find too many read through too quickly...

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil surely no longer exists...if we want to say it will be burned, or be fuel for the fire, I'm OK with that. Everything will be burned in the end since it will no longer be need, as you've correctly stated. Even faith will no longer be necessary, even...

There's another way?? LOL Oh wait. You mean read the WHOLE book of Ephesians EVERY DAY for a whole month so that I've read it 30 times at the end of the month? If so, then NO. I've never done this. But I DO like to read through whole books, not do some from the O.T and then the N.T. and...

We enter INTO Jesus to fly somewhere. I do understand your point. But being INTO JESUS is also a modern way of saying that we have to be interested in Him and follow Him. I thought it was interesting how that Greek word means "into". We have to be IN Jesus and HE has to be IN us. Interesting...

Great post !

Other words in the bible refer to movement also; such as: Faith Believe Obey Listen Hear It would help us very much to understand that the bible is a LIVING book. We have a LIVING faith. It's a book of movement... of going.... of walking. We can understand being INTO CHRIST as we nowadays...

100% correct ! A slap on the cheek was considered an insult...a polite affront to one's dignity. God's prophets suffered such treatment. 1 Kings 22:24 and also those who are persecuted for following God. Jesus meant that we should indulge our offender to show that we are secure in our status...

In post no. 13 Rollo said people say there's no free lunch. I'm saying with God there's a free lunch. YOU could be speaking about sinners on Earth,,, I'M talking about God's people,,,both in heaven or here on Earth. You can take it or leave it, but please be nice and don't tell me I can't...

I see. Nothing saves but our faith. I do, however, believe we Must obey God... As you already know.

You think some believers are under the OC?? How could this be?? We're all under the NC, no?

No Aspen. But I'm not on a computer.... Please read again .... Will discuss tomorrow.
