That's all it means; that no matter what our circumstances, we can still carry on through Christ's strength.Glenn E.

This is only in response to Solomon's prayer about returning blessings to Israel if they repent. God has never promised to heal the land of any Christian.<br /><br />Gal. 3:28 is only stating the fact of the non-discriminatory nature of the Gospel, that we are all saved through Christ.Glenn E.

I can't find that terminology or concept in Scripture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
