You asked about Joh 11:26:
Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Joh 6:63 I t is the spirit that quickeneth [ gives life]; the flesh profitet... [read more]

There is a very fine line between realizing the need to 'die daily' as we grow from 'babes' (nepios) to adults (huios), as we graduate from 'milk' to 'strong meat,' and at the same time always be aware that it is ALL the Lord's doing and nothing of ourselves.

Dear J____,
You asked about the truths Paul stated in his letter to the Romans. You used the phrase in so far as his letters are of particular concern to us, the Gentiles of the nations… Eph 2:11 says we were Gentiles and verse 12, we were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. Then verse ... [read more]

On Being a Good Wife
I have noted throughout the years that when visiting other women or being with them when their cell phones ring, that too often I can guess if the person calling is their husband. I would like to say it is because their voice softens, and a smile appears on their face. But no, ... [read more]

I will go line by line through this letter and give God's Word and contrast God's Word with the carnal minded reasoning of your friend. Your friend, as I myself once did, and all carnal minds do, fails to see the difference between the ability to choose based upon the causes he himself admits to in ... [read more]

What is Grace and Its Purpose?
[Posted July 6, 2006]
Understanding grace is only for those who "Do His will" (Joh 7:17). What sometimes comes up missing in the teaching of the doctrine of grace is the understanding that is imparted to us in Titus 2:11 and 12. Grace teaches [paideuo, Strong's #381... [read more]

Paul points out to Philemon: …perhaps he [ Onesimus, Philemon's rebellious, runaway servant] departed for a season, that you [ Philemon] should receive him forever; not now as a servant [ a slave, a nepios, an infant that "differs nothing from a slave" (Gal 4:1)] but above a servant, a brothe...
