Yes, He can do anything....anything at all, but what God can do, and what He will do are two entirely different things. God's infinite ability rests primarily in capacity and secondarily in exercise, and that must always be kept in mind. In other words, God's infinite and unique creative ability...

The "Tree of life" did not impart either a conscious or physical life to Adam, something that he, Adam, was already in the possession of. Rather, the Tree of life imparted a quality to this possession of life, namely, immutability of state. According to this reasoning, if Adam had partaken of...

I am currently reading Sigmund's book and almost immediately could see that there was something wrong with it. Some things in it "click", while other things stand out with a glaring "can't be!"

Yes, he is the Savior of the whole world...yes and no that is. His death was only a sacrifice that made the blood of atonement available, the sacrifice and the atonement being two different steps towards the one objective of humanity's redemption. The death of Jesus Christ however, (IMHO,)...

When one stands solemnly at the throne of eternal judgment, then and only then apprehends the exact nature, extent and offensiveness of sin to God, he or she will finally be in a position to determine if hell is truly fair or unfair beyond a doubt. However, there will be no arguments...not then...

There are many things which God can do but which he ordinarily doesn't do, and speaking to human beings audibly is one of them. I won't say that it's utterly impossible, and some believers such as Charles H. Spurgeon claimed to once hear what he considered to be an audible voice from God, but I...

Of one thing you can be certain: A lie can and eventually will be unraveled, but truth....never. Police detectives have know this for ages, and commonly employ this discriminating principle as a means of sifting through their nest of collected and deceptive lies in order to determine just what...

He got the physical weakness of humanity through Mary but not her moral weakness, as God cannot get all of the genetic code from only a mother or only a father, but all of the human nature from either the mother or the father, and God the Father wisely elected the later choice. So by this plan...

Be as flawlessly blameless as the Messiah is in whom you will put your untiring devotion and faith in, to impute to you all of those things which you are manifestly not, but He is. Now since this perfect righteousness is utterly impossible for any mere fallen man or woman, you must trust in God...

Perhaps God is giving you a vision of the normal, objective, mature Christian experience, and then comparing that experience to your own present experience, in either an exhortative fashion, or even in a reprimanding way, for all we know. The forest could represent the assembled, total mass of...

It sounds like a vision of a certain city in either the third heavens, or the "new earth" of II Peter 3:13, but not specifically the New Jerusalem mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The city of which the Apostle John spoke is the primary and most glorious city in heaven, but there are...

Perhaps "Ronald" is right and heaven will soon be my home, as the very next night after I posted this thread, it happened again! And as usual, it was something natural that was shown: Pleasant, tall grass blowing in the wind. The grass was something like the tall and slender species that grows...

Not precisely every night, but very commonly just as I lay down to go to sleep, the Lord shows me one or two or several passing glimpses of heaven, and it happens all the time. Sometimes I half awaken or stir in the middle of the night and He does the same thing, only those glimpses are much...

Jesus was both properly divine and properly human together in one entire person. Now as being divine, he had an inherently infinite and direct value to the scale of inifinity, which directly infinite value he did not honestly possess as a typical Jewish man, when considered as a common man and...

Well, Satan did arrange for the "great wind" of Job 1:19, which great wind "struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the men, and they are dead;" In masonry construction, the corners are one of the strongest parts of the wall, and this is the very part that failed, and all four...

Before going to bed last night, I was distinctly aware in my inner spirit that Satan was going to try something very big and awful during the night. I tried my best to convince the Lord to overule whatever it was going to be, but felt that it was already his sovereign will to allow for this...

Christ is not being inconsistent with the balance of the Holy Bible when he said that whoever believes in him would never see death, though all still commonly die physically speaking, and this is why: The application of the sacrificial atonement of Christ effectively prohibits death from...

John Gill, (1697-1771 - One of the most learned Hebraists of his day,) basically said that Yeshua's object in addressing the subject of marriage in heaven was only to address the Sadducee's denial of a conscious afterlife. Therefore, since the Sadducees didn't believe in any conscious afterlife...

Yes, he has made me a promise, and he has faithfully kept it as well. My conversion to Christianity was a particularly painful, dark, despondent and difficult one, as I labored to find some kind of a peace in Christ amidst the incessant attacks of horrible black despair sent from hell, that...

The way of law speaks, "Do to get", while the way of grace retorts, "Believe to receive", although the way of grace is in reality still subject to the way of law, only a through a mediatorial substitute. Keeping Christ's commandments becomes legalistic when you obey or "do" whatever Christ has...
