Thanks for reminding us of hope. I like a verse that tells us that Jesus is our hope: "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; " I also like the one you mentioned from Hebrews: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the...

Thanks p_rehbein. I enjoyed these scriptures which you posted.

Thanks ValleyAnt. I like your name. I see Christians as being the ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation. I also see the Angel of the Lord as being Jesus the deliverer of the saints. Some might say that that cannot be, since Christians have a flesh...

Thanks for helping teenagers! I did notice that you had a very very loose translation, which does really make a difference in the meaning of the scripture you are asking the Lord to help you to teach. "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he...

Thanks Pilgrimshope. Let there be light Let there be Jesus

Thanks phil36 for noticing that Adam and Eve are a picture of something. Adam is a picture of Christ. Adam's wife Eve is a picture of something too. The Bible calls Eve 'the mother of all living'. "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. This seems to...

I really enjoyed when glf quoted Titus 3:5: to answer the question about what 'water' means in the verse about being born of water and the spirit. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy...

Thanks Aaron56. I enjoyed your response. I am not sure I would use whatever translation you used for ¨"In us all the world will be blessed." Is that a translation of Genesis 12:3 in a Bible version somewhere or some other verse? King James Version is when God was speaking to Abram and in Genesis...

"And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. " I love the way that the gospel is presented here: "In thee shall all nations be blessed. " The surrounding scriptures speak...

Thanks Mikkadugeec, for mentioning the woman in Rev 12. She is clothed with the sun. The sun in the Bible is a picture of Christ (Psalm 19:4), so she is clothed with Christ. That means she is a picture of the true believers. The true believers are clothed with Christ's righteousness, not their...

Thanks Peacefulness. Each time I find myself anxious I just tell God about it and ask for the things I am hoping for if it's in his will. So many times i have reason to thank him when those things work out.

Thanks Komentaja for your question about 1 Timothy 4:10: "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. " Here is a possible explanation. The term 'all' is used in the Bible to mean those...

Thanks for asking. Well, the Bible calls testimony about Jesus prophecy. We read, "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit...

Thanks SilverFox7. The word Philippi means 'lover of horses'. Horses in the Bible have to do with Jerusalem and the greater area of Judah which it occupies. For example, we read: "for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the...

Thanks for your question. Many persons are familiar with the story of Jonah and the great fish. Jonah is a name that means 'dove'. This person Jonah with the name 'dove' is a picture of Christ. Jesus said, "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of...

Thanks Godswilling for your relevant question. It is relevant because many groups professing Christianity have popularized the idea of speaking in tongues. Unfortunately, what is called speaking in tongues in these groups is not particularly what is meant by scripture in that regard in my...

The context is actually the opposite. It is what Christ did once he was raised. He died in the flesh on the cross and then he was dead for 3 days and 3 nights and then he was resurrected. He was raised from the dead and gave his spirit to preach the good news. The actual context of the verse...

Those who have not been born again are spiritually dead and need to be quickened. They walk around in the flesh dead spiritually until they are made alive in Christ spiritually.

Thanks ewq1938. I appreciated your scripture Acts 2:31 about Jesus' soul was not left in hell, and Ephesians 4:9 about Jesus first going into the lower parts of the earth. Indeed, there is not an area of evil or torment that Jesus has not gotten victory over. He went all the way down...

Thanks Chaps for your interest in whether Jesus went to Hell or not. "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison...
