I just realized he is a Plymouth Brethren writer (1805-1898). Spelled Muller. I would have to see what and where he said that, because I wouldn't think he would conflict with Darby.

Hi and appreciate the comment. Of course Mueller was being candid to emphasize Darbie's (1800-1882) significance being used of the Lord. He is considered to be the father of dispensationalism, which has reclaimed all the fundamentals of spiritual growth; and this growth has spurned on many...

This is the basis for growth—to be so occupied with Christ, as to forget self! While told to reckon ourselves dead, we are looked upon as already dead in Christ. How is this? Christ is looked upon as coming down into the place of death, that there, where I was without stirring, Christ might be...

God condemned man, but that was just the beginning of what His love would show! His intended purpose was not only to condemn, but also to save; and without being guilty of sin man would have never been a part of God’s plan to be in Him, and Him in us. Whatever it takes, we should be willing to...

Yes, one can't repent for something of which he is not sorry.

Thanks for the encouraging spectacle.

God makes everything right—always—no matter what, if you’re a believer. Believers are continually being brought to the sense of their wrong, in order that they would know what not to do, in their repentance; We are also brought to the sense of God’s love in order to know what to do (Rom 2:4)...

If we truly want Christ, Satan, nor anyone else can ultimately "deceive" us (Mat 24:24).

There is much truth like this that doesn't get out much! Thanks for the show of appreciation, and God bless!

The believer is never in trouble with God! Everything he goes through is for learning, and never punishment; “For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth” (Heb 12:6). Chastening out of love is God’s way, and not out of man’s anger, for they “chastened us...

Appreciate you sharing that. Sounds good, and God bless!

The "wilderness" exemplifies the trials believers go through; and we can trust God in them all "for our good" (Ro 8:28). Thus it's like our wilderness is like heaven, not having to worry about our place There, because we are permanently saved!

The trials and testing of the believer in Christ are ever ongoing and can be quite daunting, but never “grievous” or “troublesome” (1Jo 5:3; Jn 14:1, 27). They may at time seem so but they’re really not, because it’s only God’s way of maturing us in our faith when we exercise it in the Word...

Welcome Friend, and God bless!

No deeper truth could be uttered than is expressed in the words of Christ, “Ye in Me (by the baptism of the Spirit), and I in you” (by the Spirit’s regeneration – Jn 14:20). That this and all similar truth is wholly foreign to the OT is obvious. Many fail to recognize the vast distinctions...

Yes, we could probably learn from one another! Concerning the "True Jew," it is a Jew, who like Nathanael believed in God, and was an "Israelite indeed." John Gill says "that faith does not depend upon circumcision, but upon the heart: he that believes not as he should, circumcision does not...

It's okay, but we have difference of understanding concerning "circumcision." It represents the works of the Law, which is how the people of God obtained blessing; through works of obedience to show they loved God. Now it is the works of the Spirit using the Life of the Lord Jesus (Col 3:4) that...

Ok, I see what you mean here, but I always guard against the word "spiritual," because it more than not tends put forward the doctrine of replacement theology, thinking the New Israel is now the Church; but I don't see you saying this here, I think. The circumcision I was referring to is the...

Jesus is speaking to Jews that believe in the Father (God) but not in Him yet at Jn 14:1: "ye believe in God, believe also in Me." There is no spiritual or natural circumcision in Christ. The Christian (Jew or Gentile) doesn't need circumcision, natural or spiritual, because they are reborn...

All the Jews who believe in God (Jn 14:1) are comprised by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their "Everlasting Covenant" is not the same as the Christians "Everlasting Covenant" of Hebrews 13:20, 21. Romans 4:16-18 NKJV - "Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the...
