The phrase "church in the wilderness" occurs just once in the Bible, and only, as far is I can see, in the KJV. Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto...

Sorry, but where in the Bible do we read of Israel being referred to as "the body of Moses?" The only verse I can find that includes both the word "body" and the word "Moses" is Jude verse 9. I agree of course that the church is called the body of Christ in Scripture.

I agree that an explanation would be good. I have never heard of "Wesleyan Baptists" so I looked the term up. The first "hit" was an AI overview which started: ""Wesleyan Baptists" is not a standard major Christian denomination, as Wesleyanism (rooted in John Wesley's Methodist theology) and...

Thanks for your reply. I would just emphasize that the words you quoted from my post were original part of a section in quotes, and come from the Metropolitan Tabernacle's synopsis of the first e-mailed edition of "Sword & Trowel."

I assure you that by no means all Particular Baptist in the UK followed Hyper-Calvinism. We only have to think of somebody like Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the Victorian Baptist preacher and pastor, to see this. He and the church of which he was pastor, were certainly Particular Baptists, but...

Thanks so much for explaing.

Just checking: "Beethoven - the Raising of a Saint" is the title of the video, but apart from having background music from three of Beethoven's nine symphonies, the video doesn't seem to be about that composer at all, although I admit that I haven't watched every minute of it). The video title...

As I often say in this sort of discussion, the main problem is not so much with archaic words that are now no longer in use. We can easily tell a new believer that such words can be looked up. Rather, it's words that are still in regular use, but have changed their meanings greatly since the...

Jesus Christ is Lord of all. I don't make Him Lord. When I sin, I disobey my Lord, but He is still my Lord - He doesn't become my Lord when I make Him such.

The fact that Christians still fall into sin, and when they do, they are going against their Lord, doesn't mean that Jesus Christ is not their Lord. Paul, having been spoken to by Jesus Christ on the Damascus road, said, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" Was that just words? He showed that...

Sorry, it seems I was mistaken. Certainly concordances seem to say that anthropos means human being and aner means a male human being. I should have put my usual disclaimer that apart from a few words, I don't know Koine Greek.

Thanks for explaining. But the land named Uz is only mentioned three times in the Bible (Job 1:1, Jeremiah 25:20 and Lamentations 4:21) so now I'm wondering what you mean by "the other four lands identified in Scripture being called Uz." Even if the three verses where the land of Uz is...

As I understand it, New Testament Greek has two words that are translated into English as "man/men": Anthropos means man in the sense of mankind, human beings of both sexes, and aner means a male adult person.

I agree. Particularly with regard to the jailer's household, we are told: NKJV (Act 16:32) Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. (Act 16:33) And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family...

So they are three of the seven Bible references to "Uz." (The other four refer to people of that name , not the land.) But what is the point of the thread? (Sorry if I am missing something obvious.)

To me, the idea of singing a hymn to invite people to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ seems strange. Did the preacher really not encourage unsaved people to come to Christ and be saved in the course of the sermon? I am sure that the words of a biblically-based hymn can support what has...

Spain and Italy are both mentioned by name in the Bible. For example: (Rom 15:24 NKJV) whenever I journey to Spain, I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while. (Act 27:1 NKJV) And when it...

I agree. Anyway, somebody saying, "Let's turn in our hymnbooks to Hymn Number such-and-such" is not acting a a "song leader", in the sense used in the post to which Martin was replying, which included these words: " or does the Song Leader sing the Invitation Hymn solo?" Clearly, the song...

If by "the epistle" you mean 1 John, where does that epistle mention moving mountains, having every prayer answered by God, or selling everything we have? Faith moving mountains is in Matthew's gospel: (Mat 17:20 NKJV) So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to...

Certainly. God doesn't have a special way of dealing with Christians who are Israelites by birth, requiring them, but not Christians who are Gentiles, to confess their sins.
