There were several things missing in the days of Adam that are present with us today. You were right to say there were no gentiles. That is certainly true but likewise there were no "nations." The nations were God's idea and he instituted this means of law and order in the middle of the second...

It is instructive to note that in the four gospel accounts, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, there are 89 chapters that chronicles the earthly life, beginning to ending, of Jesus Christ. Of those 89 chapters exactly one third of them, 29 chapters, are concerned with the last 8 days of the life of...

Exactly! One, such as myself should be as careful writing as he is reading and be precise in both. I will try to do better but knowing my tendencies it is likely I will make other goofs without really trying. Thanks.

Under the OT economy of God the offices that were to be held by Jesus Christ were typified by three men. They were profit, priest, and King. Those who were the types were Moses, Aaron, and David. When Jesus was on the earth he was the perfect prophet. He is at this present time on the throne of...

Would to God all would understand this. Salvation is of the Jews, Jesus said in John 4 to the Samaritan woman. Would you accept the fact that God dealt with the Jews under a different principle of divine dealing until they rejected his salvation (the Spirit) nationally in Acts 7 and this gave...

Amen, C24, I think you are right but it does cause me to ask another question. If the Jews had been getting saved and become Christians since day 1 of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, why wasn't their conversion referred to as "the grace of God?" Another way of framing the same question is why...

Thanks C24. Barnabas saw "the" grace of God. Is there a contextual reason to be more specific of what Barnabas saw?

Acts 11:22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave...

This is a juvenile argument by Mr. Lamb. It defies godly logic and reason. The passage he is quoting does not even hint that a sinner cannot understand and embrace the salvation promise of God by faith in Jesus Christ who is eternal life. This message is the heart of the gospel and it, as is...

Jesus Christ is the firstborn son of God from the dead. Compare Psa 2:7 with Acts 13:26-38. It is best to read full context and believe the words. Col 1:18 - 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning (of the church), the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he...

I agree C24. Just as no one can enter the kingdom unless they are born again, neither can they discern the spiritual content of the word of God unless they have the Spirit of God in them. One must be taught of God to think like him. This is told to us in 1 Cor 2. Consider first of all what Paul...

In Psalm 115, Jehovah says the following. 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The kingdom of God is...

Should this thread have been posted in the Calvinist/Arminian section? Calvinists are not the exclusive grace teachers. They are the ones who pervert the doctrines of grace, and even makes it a plurality. I have heard and read the testimony of many Calvinists and the vast number of them...

Do you accept the English word "if" as used as a conjunction in the scriptures? Do you accept the fact that God is the first person to use it? Here is the meaning according to the Cambridge Dictionary. Meaning of the word "if" in English if conjunction if conjunction (IN THAT SITUATION)...

I cannot understand how this reasoning when carefully considered can possibly make any sense to a sane mind. Having said nothing that is true about God and claiming that God planned out beforehand every event and action meticulously, the writer then warns in his last line that we can ignore...

Hey Ben1445, I have attempted to show you how I am drawing my conclusions but admit I see through a glass darkly. I have partial knowledge but thank God for his wonderful word. I find that sometimes I must adjust my conclusions because of more light. Thank you for the discussion on this subject...

I think you are not right about this. There are not two more Jewish chapters in Romans than Romans 9 and 10. As a matter of fact if you fail to fit Rom 7:1 through Romans 11:12 into a Jewish context and accept that Paul is explaining what God is doing with the Jews since the cross and...

The epistle is to the Romans. Romans are gentiles. Rome is, at the time of writing, the seat of government over the whole world. The Date is 58 AD. It is the sixth of Paul's thirteen letters. The history that has passed from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the beginning of his...

"Therefore" in Romans 12:1 is a logical and reasonable concluding action that he desires from the argument he had just made where he said nothing about the priesthood of the believer. What he is admonishing the Romans, and by extension, all of us to do because of being secure in Christ is a...

Do you think it is instructive that Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, did not apply this priesthood to the gentile church and did not mention the priesthood of the believer in his 13 letters to us?
