There are 4 (four) great prophetic streams in the scriptures. All will come to pass just as the Lord tells us and in the time frame told to us by the prophets. Nothing will fail. Here they are: 1. The Kingdom of Christ 2) The remnant of Israel 3) The two comings of Christ, once to suffer and...

I think one of the key points in the text is a contrast between the simple gospel of Christ which requires no study or brilliance. It requires hearing and believing. Even a child can understand the preaching of the gospel and be saved from the penalty of his sins. Not so with the "mysteries"...

It is the ""book" of the generation of Jesus Christ. Every word of God is important. The genealogy of Jesus Christ into humanity is in the book, but that is not all that is in it. His story is in it.

1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Jesus Christ did not have any children and that is the reason generation is singular in the passage. He is dealing here with one generation. There is much to be said about this generation because he was the...

Complaint noted, thanks.

Things that are recorded here concerning the Messiah of Israel regarding their response nationally to him will in the near future become an opportunity of the gentiles with the remnant of believing Israelites for a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. These will be born again...

The scriptures presents the Messiah of Israel, our Lord Jesus Christ, to Israel in three offices. Prophet - Pictured by Moses Priest - Pictured by Aaron King - Pictured by David These offices are fulfilled concurrently by Jesus Christ in time. When he came the first time to his own people (Jn...

It is a test! If one will not believe simple words there is no use of going further. Is 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your...

Objections noted but questioned. I totally agree with one Israel presented to us from God's point of view with the trinitarian signature of his creation, one in three and three in one. I am not sure how you thought I was presenting 3 separate Israel's but I accept the blame and am sorry about...

God likens Israel to three different trees in scriptures and employs these metaphors in a consistent manner for the prophetic application and to teach us how history will develop until finally Israel is perfected and purified totally and becomes the chief nation on earth for all eternity. 1 The...

I have quoted the verses in the NT with the subject of "this generation" without the context but if anyone were interested enough to look at the context one would find that the scriptures are all speaking about the same time frame in history. These men had wonderful privileges that no other...

Mt i:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Jesus Christ is unique in that he is the only man ever born of a woman and fathered by God and connected to the physical linage through this birth. It is not a surprise. It is the first thing we ever...

Excellent! Praise God! And let every Baptist posting on this "Baptist Theology & Bible Study" forum say Amen!

I think the longest sentence in the Bible might be the first sentence in the epistles, Rom 1. It is 7 verses long. The first clause in the sentence might be the theme for all the letters of the great apostle Paul. It reads like this; "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle...

The language of the scriptures is very precise because the words are the words of God. He is not careless about their use and he makes no mistakes. A soul winner has much more liberty with the words he uses to attempt to persuade a sinner to believe in Jesus and to be saved than the preacher who...
