This diagram and commentary are from MORE THAN CONQUERORS, by William Hendricksen, that I and many others consider a Classic treatment of the Book of Revelation. He is always using the rest of the Bible and seeing how it all harmonizes together. The Bible is the place to go to receive our...

What a cool, God-Honoring statement that is. "the Holy Ghost is beyond those areas and times and persons..."

New Thread; Justification in The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith.

Just seeing what that does for you. Justification, Chapter 11 The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. Paragraph 1 Those whom God effectually calls, he also freely justifies,1 not by infusing righteousness into them, but by pardoning their sins, and by accounting and accepting their persons as...

All of what you have said is very, very, very good. I like it. I just wanted to have you look at what I believe about a few of these verses you have quoted. And it's best to do that in a New Thread...

In 2 Timothy 3:15, we see these words: Then, some similar words are mentioned in the next verses 2 Timothy 3:16: The 'scriptures' that those verses are talking about are Alive, "Because the Word of God is Quick, and Powerful, and sharper than any Two-edged Sword, Piercing even to the Dividing...

You're crazy to put words in the mouths of people that they have not said. You need a good solid Cease and Desist notice from the best of what I see out of you.

James and Paul treated different aspects of faith, in two different ways, as seen in the post above. Nope. Not anything anywhere close to the issue at hand in their two scripture passages. "The author of it is James; and whereas there were two of this name, who were the apostles of Christ...

James 2:24 "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." "...and not by faith only": or as "faith only" without works, or a mere historical faith, which we know that faith being without works is dead, of which the Apostle is speaking; and therefore faith that is...

James 2:24 "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only." "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified,...." A man's works are not what causes the procuring his Justification, but a man's works as the effects of his Justification are declaring that he has been...

Yes, not to beat a dead horse, but I see what you are asking now. I wasn't saying that the "today is the third day since these things happened" (Luke 24:21) verse has anything to do with what Jesus said about, "on the third day" here: Jesus was talking about "on the third day" from Wednesday...

Here's another take on Luke 24:21; But we were hoping that it was he who was about to redeem Israel: and beside all this, today is the third day since these things happened. "What is the problem with this scripture? It is the phrase "today is the third day" (Luke 24:21), and the fact that we...

Right. THOUGHT THIS IS A COOL QUOTE FOR WHAT WE DO. "Believers have “the mind of Christ,” (1 Cor. 2:16), and they are to utilize it in their daily lives – and, in particular, says Peter, in their apologetics. When one spells this out in plain terms, it means that Christians must not abandon...

I did. I was not clear enough about "these things" including the Authorities setting a watch at the tomb. That was another major event that would have struck him as being part of "these things" he was talking about. So, rather than me leveraging with the purely Colloquial speech, where some...

"But we trusted that it had been He which should have Redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done," Luke 24:21. It takes Faith to be mixed in with the Word and we believe in the Blood Atonement by Faith through the Word. So, why not have enough...
