Anyone, in my opinion, who would have understanding about the church of Jesus Christ would also need to take the approach that you are taking and keep these truths separated in the apostolic age. There remained a national identity for Judah during these years but in the foreknowledge of God they...

They went to the same place ,Asia Minor. James wrote his letter in AD 45, the first of the NT epistles The twelve tribes were "scattered" among the gentiles, but they remained distinctly Israelites nonetheless, even after they were converted. The believers among them represented the "remnant" of...

Thank Martin, but 12 tribes?

James 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

ky, oftentimes I think that commenters will paste parts of verses without proper context and definitions of terms and phases like above. I believe you have assumed that "kingdom of God" means church and nothing else in every instance and the word vineyard is not flushed out either. Neither do...

This is the Baptist Theology And Bible Study Forum. This is generally where I post my comments. Different Baptist groups differ on many subjects but spiritual gifts is generally not one of them. I am surprised by your Baptist reaction here. But, in spite of this disagreement I have generally...

Obviously I have hurt your feelings and that was not my intention at all but I apologize for the offense anyway. I wonder why you would not attempt to persuade me of your position if you are secure in the truth of it. I am not going to be upset and if you make a solid biblical case I promise I...

Let me just gently disagree with you on this statement and hope you can see my point when you consider the full quote context. Joh 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith...

Ascetic X, I would like to disagree with you on this subject of signs and wonders on the grounds that these spiritual enablement's were exercised by the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ, Jesus himself and the 70 elders of Israel who were called prophets. No one else ever exercised these gifts but if...

Lu 13:6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why...

Who do you know that does these miracles? Have you ever done one? Are there some missionaries and preachers that do them while some do not? The fact is that these gifts are apostolic sign gifts. 2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs...

This should be a bright red flag and it should tell you all about the so called "scholars" one needs to know. One scholar teaches one thing and another scholar teaches and believes another thing and another scholar barely has any conviction on the doctrine and every one is confused. However, it...

Ac 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: No one seems to have an opinion about this. How does this fit into your theological system? It looks like there are two parts to this prophesy. The notable day of the...

Isa 13:6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man s heart shall melt: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that...

The eunuch ih Acts 8 asked a question in answer to a question. He was reading Isa 53 when Phillip asked him if he understood what he was reading. He asked, how can I except some man should guide me. Good question. Cornelius in Acts 10 in the year 40 AD wanted to be saved and God sent him a...
