See there are the gifts of Holy Spirit which God gives for His purpose which are given and Holy Spirit will conduct , as believer with these gifts pray there is answer from these Gifts by Holy Spirit right away and these gifts are not stopped in unrepentant sin , as the grace of God comes from the gifts which are sovereign ............. Then there are the answers to prayer which are rarely literally found in the bible which God in Heaven answers , but are the miracles that come with out the direct Gifts of calling in Christ , but will come from God where Holy Spirit will deliver the grace for the purpose of God ...........See all grace is the miracles of the creator God which were created by Father God , and come by the identity of Lord Jesus Christ, and are delivered by Holy Spirit

Correct me if i am wrong, but are you saying the throne of grace is in a gift ?.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

So, the words Throne of Grace is using a Figure of Speech called Anthropopatheia which means ascribing attributes to God by using 'human' characteristics or inanimate objects.

So you do not believe there is place where we boldly approach in confidence?. I certainly do not believe it something physical.

The scriptures declare we are the temple of God( not our flesh, but that part of us living in the body of flesh).

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying and/or asking here.

I believe we can come to God with confidence, believing He hears and will answer according to His Will, if that's what you're asking? But you asked WHERE the throne of grace is, and I answered it's not a literal place, but a Fig. [that represents what I said].

And I don't agree with your definition of being the temple of God. Here's what's written in 1 Corin. 6:
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God
1 Corin. 3:16 "Know ye not you are the temple of God and any man that defiles that temple...."
Sounds like God means it's our physical body which houses the Holy Spirit.

The part of us 'living in the body of flesh' is called 'spirit,' the spirit of man, and that's the means by which the Holy Spirit witnesses to us.

So when we depart this body we depart the temple of God too ? Sorry i cannot accept that. God resides somewhere far deeper than flesh and blood.........our innermost being, where we find the throne of grace and where comes forth rivers of living of water.
