◄ 1 Peter 1 ► King James Bible Par ▾ Greetings from Peter (2 Peter 1:1-2) 1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. A Living Hope 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. A Call to Be Holy (Hebrews 12:14-17) 13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. The Word of the Lord Stands Forever (Isaiah 40:6-8) 22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Amen!!....100% agree Sis!....xoxoxo

1 John 3:9 KJV Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

We must be Born Again of imperishable/ incorruptible “ seed” the seed is the Living word of God, if God plants it, then it will grow, flourish and mature, you know them by their fruit....a Born Again bears the fruit of Jesus...anyone can say they believe, my Son believes..that is not the same as becoming Born Again of the Spirit, that is a Spiritual Act, that only God can do via the Holy Spirit, he is like the wind, you never know when he will act and make us Born Again.. 1 Peter 1:23 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. James 2:19 “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” King James Version (KJV) The seed of God is a Living seed , his seed and wherever he decides to plant his seed of faith in his child, when we become Born Again ...it will grow, God given Faith is a gift a manifestation of the Spirit. We must be Born Again/ regenerated, then we have that God given faith to start that Living relationship with God via His Holy Spirit.... There is no Faith in God without his Spirit.... "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20-21). 1 Corinthians 12-14 King James Version 12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Peter 1 KJV 1 Peter 1:23 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

I’m on my way hehehe @ladypeartree lovely to meet you,xoxox i promise to be gentle @enoob57 hehehe, oxox

You should have remained silent,,heheheI’m after you now, Hehehehe, where is your thread? xoxo

We have owls here, there is one here in a field next to my house, ...it perches on a tree and can you believe, communicates with another owl, that sounds to be miles away, I would love to know what they are saying to each other.

I have never had sex with any man since I became Born Again, there should be no sexual immorality outside of marriage...that is my belief and my opinion.

Colossians 1:9 “For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;” King James Version (KJV Colossians 1:9 Context 6Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 7As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ; 8Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 9For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light

Wow indeed...I never knew any of that..thanks for sharing Sis,xoxox

Wow, I never knew that, thanks for sharing that information Sis, xoxox

I’m surprised she hasn’t eaten you yet Mr Owl!...hehehehe,xoxoxo edit to add @Debp..Sis would a cat attack an Owl, I think @kwikphilly would be able to answer this question as well,xoxox

I have a dog, her name is Mabel...she too doesn’t want a buddy..she’s to old.

That cat sounds like a baby...I’d love to know what their talk means,LOL.

Yes, they are the same.,.i understand when you say some have a sound doctrine, my point is Kwik, anyone can have a sound doctrine as in quoting scripture word for word. The thing is, we need to be Born Again of the Spirit...not intellectual knowledge, ....plus there is no directions on how we become Born Again....no one can read themselves into becoming Born Again of the Spirit......scriptural Knowledge is meaningless if we aren’t Born Again...Jesus explains this to Nicodemus...the Holy Spirit is like the wind, you never know when he will turn up and Baptise us in the Spirit ..my friend.

Amen! Xoxoxo.

◄ John 15 ► Berean Standard Bible Par ▾ Jesus the True Vine (Isaiah 27:1–13) 1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. 2He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. 5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples. No Greater Love 9As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. 10If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. 12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. 17This is My command to you: Love one another. The Hatred of the World 18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. 19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. 20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’a If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well. 21But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well. 24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’b 26When the Advocatec comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me. 27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning. I love this scripture, we remain in the true vine because God grafted us in, when we became Born Again, ..God is so true to his word....he does exactly as his word says above...,Praise God!

Galatians 5:22-26 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Hi Kwik, I personally think @FreeGrace and myself need to end our discussion, as I will never agree with what he says to me, and he certainly doesn’t agree with my testimony....it’s the forcing what he believes onto me, it’s not of God Sis.i can only be led by the Holy Spirit, I can’t take on board any other name, other than the name and teachings of Jesus....Gods Son, Jesus was God in the flesh, ....best we stop now don’t you agree?..xoxoxo. edit to add...not asking you to take sides Kwik, just that the two of us should call it a day? Thank you @kwikphilly....your input is appreciated.

Yes, we must read Gods word to grow in spiritual knowledge, as it’s a spiritual book,( Gods Living word) only to be understood in the Spirit. Even if we never read his word, we would never die as we have been Born Again of imperishable seed.....without reading his word, we would just never grow....yet, we would still have that eternal security.....which can only come from the Living word of God.

Born Again of imperishable seed, means exactly that..we have been Born Again by Gods Living seed, which is his Living word..that is what lives inside of us the imperishable seed of God..which can never die, can never be taken away, it starts off the size of a mustard seed and because it’s the Living word of God that was planted into our hearts...it will grow and our faith will just get stronger and stronger...

I have posted all relevant scripture on how I became Born Again.. That is just your opinion that what I have posted isn’t found in scripture, I disagree and say ,yes I have posted Gods word on how I became Born Again of the Spirit..only your opinion is, it’s not saying what I believe Gods word to be saying..which I disagree with your opinion. Are we done yet?
