2 Chronicles 7: 14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

I wound't say acquire; as I suspect, that it's more of a knowing as all of time is right now from the Lord's perspective. Scripture tells us in Rev 5, "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to...

Love is one of the fruits of the Spirit and must be grown. Peter tells us, "as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby." Paul tells us in Heb 5, "Anyone who is a babe is unskillful in the word of righteousness and needs milk." Jesus said, "I am the vine and...

In James 1, we're told, "Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed." And in 1 Cor 10, "There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is...

To my thinking, this verse shows that the Earth is round. Three different time zones at the same moment in time...

The Lord is one entity or being. Eternal, invisible, immutable and infinite. We can see the Lord as he reveals himself to us in scripture. As referenced in an earlier post to this topic: Let us make man in our image and after our likeness. And scripture teaches us that we are made to be body...

Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all is fulfilled. Whatsoever the law says, it says to those who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God. The law was added because of...

Till heaven and Earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, until all is fulfilled. Whatsoever the law says, it says to them who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God. Before faith is come, we were kept under...

Jesus died on the cross for the whole world, so that all of us could come to repentance. He is an infinite being who purchased an infinite atonement. (Jesus) Infinite x infinite (atonement) = infinite amount of people

Agreed! Most of us who have studied the word of God in depth will differ from one another somewhere. I like to think of the truth as a huge puzzle made up of tiny little pieces that often require many of them to be put in place before we can see what the picture is even going to be about. The...

If we all believed the same things, there'd be no reason to discuss scripture. If any man think that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. For now we know in part, but then we shall know as even we are known.

1 Jn 5: 16, 17 KJV If any man see his brother sin a sin that is not unto death, he shall ask and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto: I do not say he shall prey for it. All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death. Rom 14: 23b for...

As I see it: We are body, soul, and spirit formed in such a way that we're finite reflections made in the image and likeness of our infinite creator. The Lord is a triune entity composed of the Word of God, who became the Son of God, when he was born here on Earth, the heavenly Father and the...

There are many examples in the New Testament scriptures of those who have gotten sick. For example, in 2 Tim 4: 20 tells us how Trophinmus was left by Paul in Miletum sick. We're also told of a brother who was sick, nigh unto death, in Phil 2: 26, 27. And in 1 Cor 11, we're told of those who...

Sorry to insert myself here, but let me add how John warns us in 1 John 4: 1(+) to try the spirits, for not every spirit is from the Lord and those who listen to their lies and deception become false prophets, sadly. And in another place; we're told that the evil one, who can appear as an angel...

As I ponder these things, I've come to this speculation: When the burning mountain falls sometime after the four horsemen of the Apocalypse, it will not land in Russia as the are taken out after attacking Israel, and so to for North Africa. Nor will it strike in Europe and China as the will...

Regarding the 144,000: Many tribes were lost when Israel was defeated and taken into captivity, leaving the nation of Judah alone. How can 12,000 from each tribe be taken by Herod when they were no longer among the Jewish nation and no longer known to be Jewish?

English was my worst subject, sadly... : (

It's true that it can't be the original as the original was individual epistles written in differing years of which we only have copies of copies, but I suspect it is the best compilation of those earliest copies. I have to give preference to the Greek as the Greek is the original language of...

The elementary principles of the oracles of God are: Repentance from dead works, faith towards God, the doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgement. There are several baptisms: Proselytes to Judaism were water baptized, the water baptism of...
