So do you believe that Israel has forfeited her chances of receiving any promises of God except they be converted to Christianity? Covenantalism (to answer your question) believes that Israel cannot inherit any promises except they be converted to Christianity...

Are you speaking of Galatians 6:16? If you're saying that Moses was a type of Christ, then I'd agree with you. Where does scripture say that Jesus Christ is the true Israel? (I hope I'm not sounding rude by the way, I really would like to know where scripture says this). I believe that...

Hey there Iconoclast. You are postmillennial, is that correct? (I remember reading a previous post of yours, just wanted to make sure that's what your position is). (You believe that the Church has replaced Israel, and that there is no more promise to Israel except they be converted to...

If the new covenant has been entirely fulfilled in the Church today, so that "all...know [The Lord], from the least to the greatest" (Heb. 8:11, KJV), then how come 1 Corinthians 15:34 tells us that "some [of the Church] have no knowledge of God" (ESV)? (See also 1 Corinthians 8:7a: "However...

In all kindness: Postmillennialist: If the entirety of Joel 2:28-32 has been fulfilled, so that the Spirit has been poured out on "all flesh" (v. 28, ESV), why would Jesus want Christians to preach the gospel of the kingdom in all the world so that the end may come (Mt. 24:14)? The Spirit...

Hm. Thanks for this Luke. Didn't think of that. Do you think that Christians can't have this disposition and be walking in the spirit at the same time then?

Ecclesiastes 5:17 says, "And indeed all his days are in darkness, and in mourning, and [much rage*], and sickness, and bitter anger*" (Pool, 1996). *The two Greek words here can be translated to mean "a state of intense displeasure", "intense expression of the inner self, [frequently]...

Hey Yeshua :) Most of them are already in heaven (Hos. 6:2; Mt 27:52-53). David is an exception though (Acts 2:34a): http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=1986957&postcount=17

Also, are poor clothing and nutrition the result of sin? Or having an injury (2 Kings 1:2)? Maybe Rheumatoid arthritis or Alzheimer's disease (the causes of which are not fully known) are not the result of sin, and should fall under the category of Ecclesiastes 8:14: "there are righteous...

Hm. Nice to hear from you again Biblicist :) A thought of mine about Genesis 2:17 is, maybe Adam and Eve could've still gotten sick without dying before the sin came. (Are "deadly thing[s]", Mark 16:18, KJV, the result of sin?) If the millennium is the era in which there will be the tree of...

***The answer must first be sought, not asked. :p my mistake.

I don't think that drugs should be done for recreational use. Tobacco smoke used to be used for a remedy for the cold, in moderation. Now it is used for recreation and look at the problems that arise because of its recreational use (Isa. 47:9). I think that medication is good (Pr. 17:22), but...

Poor physical exercise "bodily training is of some value" (1 Tim. 4:8, ESV). Plato said, "the due proportion of mind and body is the fairest and loveliest of all sights to him who has the seeing eye", and that "we should not move the body without the soul or the soul without the body, and...

I found something by Plato, which I thought matched nicely with Ecclesiastes 7:7 above, I do realize that "mad" can be translated as either anger or insane, and I am in a dilemma between which one I suppose it means. If it means insane, then the sickness of Ecclesiastes 7:7, I think, can be...

Rachel and Leah are types of the Church and Israel because of God's love for the Church more than the Jews (Gen 29:30), the realization of which will be seen in the millennium (Eph. 2:6-7; Lk. 7:28; Psalm 45:14; Gal. 4:24-26). bold emphases mine ESV Gen 29:30 So Jacob went in to Rachel also...

Quite interestingly, Plato (c. 428/427 BC – 348/347 BC) confessed that most professors of medicine did not understand the foaming of the mouth or eyes (rheums). Luke, the beloved physician (1st century), tells us of an incident where foaming is from a demon, whom Christ rebukes and heals the...

Conscience plays a big role in the Christian (Rom. 14:23). If the Christian can't drink in clean conscience and in moderation, he should abstain. If a Christian can drink in clean conscience (and in moderation), he shouldn't do it around someone whose conscience can't. "Thus, sinning against...

I guess Proverbs 17:25 would say that foolish children don't promote health too, webdog. :p "A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him" (KJV).

(The medical world would agree with this).

I like the last one, injury. I didn't think that the Bible would've said that injury causes sickness. "And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick" (2 Kings 1:2, KJV).
