@St.SteVen 'For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory...

Hello @St.SteVen, Oh yes, it was an actual event. Peter refers to it himself in his epistle doesn't he? The reality of what Peter witnessed and responded to by offering to build three shelters, However, I believe that we need to consider what the Lord Jesus said in relation to this incident...

Hello @BarneyFife, It was good to see your name here too. It is a while since I took part. The Believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is placed 'in Christ' by God the Father. We are accepted, 'in the Beloved'. We stand before God as though, 'holy and without blame', because we are 'in Christ'...

Thank you, @St.SteVen, 'And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, "Tell the vision (G3705) to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead." (Mat 17:9) G3705 = A spectacle, vision or supernatural revelation, used 12 times in the Bible, translated...

'So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a...

Hello @DavidLamb, Where did The Lord Jesus use it in His teaching? Other than to expose the hypocrisy of the Pharisees (Luke 16:22), with the story of, 'The Rich Man and Lazarus', which was, in itself, not teaching, but an exposure of these men who sought His life, blasphemed the Holy Spirit...

The State of The Dead:- (Psa 6:5) For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?' (Psa 30:9) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?' (Psa 31:17) 'Let me not be ashamed, O...

'Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.' (Gal 4:28-29) Hello @Doug, Yes, I see. Isaac was a child of promise, born miraculously to Sarah, who was long dead...

Hello @Doug * Paul does use the words, 'born after the Spirit', and surely you would agree that the Holy Spirit is God Himself? * John refers to being, 'born of God', several times as you can see. Peter just once:- (Gal 4:29) 'But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that...
