The Church is people, the Body of Christ. Some of us now are part or becoming part of the Body of Christ. The work is unfinished. "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Col 1:18 "Who now...

@Cummingtonite Welcome to the forum!

Where do you suppose, He is building it, and who is able see it more clearly than as through a glass darkly? Blind people [those not in it or a part of it] cannot see it at all although it may be right before them. I would expect the members of that Church will be in many different places, both...

All of your life you have experienced the differences in people and when you look at documents in man's history you see also a great many differences from person to person including various beliefs about God and everything else. Do you not suppose that God understood that this was how it would...

Scary? What is scary about leaning on God? Not a thing! You certainly read a lot more into what I said than what was there! Leaning on yourself or other people is the scariest course to take. When a person clings to the words and writings of others rather than surrendering daily to God...

Yes, I have the German version in one of my piano books under the title, Stille Nacht.

I used a lexicon if that is what you mean as I am not a student of Koine Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew. I have to trust God to provide whatever I need when I need it... including at times a lexicon. If you are a student of the original languages, I am glad for you... What I believe on this however...

Yes, the name of the Bible is commonly rendered in two ways in German. One is Die Bibel which is a Romance/Latin usage in German, which originally meant "The Books" . The other is the original Germanic usage, Die Heilige Schrift, which means the "The Holy Writing". Consider also that in...

Amen!

Not the words my friend, but the whole sentence: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." II Tim 2:15 [KJV] "Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true...

Maybe too much coffee already! I check in periodically but, yes, it seems quiet. Could be it will change?

Praying now!

@Truth OT What is your purpose here? No matter what the result of your inquiries for you, it would not change the Truth since never changes. Do you somehow think that if no can answer your questions to your satisfaction then what you said about Truth earlier would change or that God would not...

I find myself betwixt and between. In English the difference between the two as noted in other responses here already can give a person a wrong impression. In my early days in a Pentecostal church Holy Ghost was almost always used and it occurs frequently in the KJV [but so does Holy Spirit]...

If you are able to do His will First, you already are where you need to be. Staying there, in His will that is, may not be so easy... because no matter some people may say, the old man is not completely dead yet if you are still ever tempted to sin. What I believe happens to a lot of people who...

You know too much worthless stuff without Life. It is no wonder to me that you have lost your way. Dead things cannot see!

I use man's logic to speak with you because you being dead to God could not understand me at all otherwise. To God's Word you are deaf, hearing the sounds mouthed by a human mouth or written by a human hand, but without the Holy Spirit you cannot perceive the Life Jesus brought. No typo there...

@Nondenom40 Your verses are good and defending what you believe is a good thing which God expects, but there is a great difference between defense and offense. When someone attacks you, to defend is a natural thing, however, to take the offense and attack/ rebuke someone else is certainly a...

Even with access to the written scripture cam we can really know anything about God without the Holy Spirit? That was my point. Without the Holy Spirit, a person may believe it but not know it. It is the difference between believe and know. The road to knowledge according to scriptures is by...

Perhaps I did. If so I would appreciate your clarification.
