“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you” - 1Co 11:19 (this answers to why there would be evil—to know what is good—NC). Heresy is a work of the flesh (flesh, i.e. “old man” or sin nature—NC); “Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred...

I believe everything can be useful if used properly, for "He giveth us richly all things to enjoy" (1Ti 6:17).

Yes, the most important is how we treat one another, because it results in how we are respecting God (1Jo 4:20 ). We could say we love God when we love the saints, because you can't love God if you don't love the saints; and I say "the saints" because the passage says "brothers" (1Jo 4:20 ).

It is a very serious question—a question of great interest to oneself, but yet a greater interest to the Lord Jesus. What are we here for? He was here for us. Now we are to be here for Him. It is a great moment for your soul when you apprehend that you are here for Christ as a member of His...

Thanks Friend!

Always appreciate you, God bless!

Amen! I believe is the most important truth that causes us to continue to meditate on for our growth and the strengthening of our faith in the Lord Jesus and His Father--through Their blessed Holy Spirit!

Thanks for your replies Mag!

Like what you said, but God's promise is for our personal good, for each believer; though His "work" also covers everything in a general sense, as you said.

Appreciate the reply!

As a Christian, do you believe that “All things work together for good to those who love God” (Ro 8:28). This means that no matter what occurs in your life, God is using it for your benefit. The primary issue in a believer’s life is always that which concerns the strengthening of one’s faith...

Hi, and thanks for the replies! What the writer said are my beliefs! Yes, Christ and His Body, the Church will reign from the old earth, but after the Millennial will then enter the new heaven and rule there over the new earth. (Rev 3:21 ).

“For he endured, as seeing Him who is invisible” (Heb 11:17). If you compare this with an expression Genesis 16, the force of both is made much more distinct. “And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after Him that seeth...

Millennium This is a theological term, from the Latin mille (thousand), and annum (year). The Millennium indicates Christ’s future thousand-year reign—His kingdom rule over Israel (on the old and new earth—NC); Revelation 20. The disciples asked, “Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the...

Hi, and appreciate your reply!

Sounds like a misunderstanding. Saying an unbeliever is of the world isn't disrespect, it's truth; and the reason Scripture uses the term is because unbelief always involved the majority of mankind (Mat 7:13, 14). Unless you're discussing something else.

Just to let you know, I type these articles, their books are out of print, too antiquated. Is your use of "firmament" in relation to the physical earth? if so, the article's usage concerns the unbelievers.

Those who are reborn will at times find themselves seemingly dissatisfied and unfeeling! This is always temporary, for faith strengthening (e.g. continuing to believe in Christ’s expiation for your sins), and is due to the ongoing presence of the “old man” within (Ro 7:17, 20). Whether or not we...

Many are lacking that surety of God's "work" in their life. They still think it's always up to you. Wrong, it's up to God to keep putting it all in our hearts and minds!

Yes, good point about being receptive--I believe God causes all who are reborn to learn to be "patient in tribulation" (Rom 12:12), just as He causes them to "desire" to "please" Him (Phl 2:13).
