Ec 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. God does not oversee his creation by the...

JonC, Bible students cannot learn the same deep truths from Bibles with different words. But, please, I would like to stay on the subject of the kingdom of heaven is at hand Matthew 1 through 12 and a new planting/growing season took place in Matthew 13 and we learn later that it was Jerusalem...

Good deal, JonC but Jesus was not missing one disciple, he was missing one disciple who was an apostle. Big difference, He told his plans of having the 12 apostles sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel. He was missing a king. Israel fell short and did not attain the kingdom. Barnabas...

Well, thank you JonC but I was hoping you would answer some of my other questions. BTW, the number 12 is always associated with the perfect government of God and it was the reason Jesus could not establish his kingdom on earth. He just had 11 apostles when he died and rose again. The number 11...

What do you think about this exchange? MT 21:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into...

Hi kyrn, here is a question for you. Can one have a kingdom without a king? Here is another one; was Jesus giving out good news, glad tidings because there is a coming kingdom or that it was at hand? Here is another one; would you say it was called the kingdom of heaven because heaven is where...

Of course that belief has nothing to do with my question(s) How would you explain the choosing and instructions of these officers. with later instructions that were opposite. If you can explain it maybe you can add time lines. Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching...

Thanks percho, I take that answer as a, no. I do have the answer to your question. It is "timing." "Ga 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law," Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the...

John the Baptist preached the kingdom of heaven is at hand before Jesus preached it. Mt 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, 2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Thanks for the reply. One no answer.

Did Jesus choose his officers of his kingdom after the model of Moses in the wilderness, twelve heads of Israel and 70 appointed elders? Mt 4:17 From that time (the time he began to dwell in Capernaum of Galilee) Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand...

Maybe I was off topic and maybe I wasn't but I do not care if I am ignored. I only entered the conversation because of the posted article that JR Rice wrote about KJV only people, insinuating that we all are like J. Hyles.. A perfect God sends his perfect son to die for sinners so they can have...

Really! How do you suggest I answer that? And please tell me why it is a sensible post.

Do you understand the word "confirmation" and how it is used in the context of Romans 15:8. The history of the ministry of the apostle Paul to the gentiles to this point confirms OT promises to the three Patriachs of Israel. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and gives clarity to how God has kept them...

Lest one thinks I believe Christ death was not the atonement for the whole world like is insinuated by the poster let me post the words of the scriptures. Ro 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in...

This of course is not true. Gentiles are not the ones Jesus Christ laid down his life for and they are not sheep. Jesus Christ laid down his life for his people Israel. God, because of his covenant promises to Israel, was obligated to provide salvation for them. The principle of God's salvation...

2Co 12:20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: I am thinking that xlxdraw had the above scripture in mind...

I am not sure about these comments. I feel as if I have fallen into the twilight zone. I was not discussing dispensationalism, I was addressing the weakness of Jack Hyle's theology and saying HE was anti dispensational or weak on it at best, not that I am anti dispensational.

Jesus Christ said to the disciples on the road to Emmaus that he came to fulfill all that was written of him in the Psalms, Law, and the Prophets. To do this would have taken the cooperation of their faith in him. Part of what he intended to do for a fractured and scattered people is to unify...

Why didn't you accuse logos1560 of derailing the thread because he is actually guilty of it?
