Could this be the present time during Paul's ministry and also continuing into the future? Romans 11:25 - For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the...

I have been to many churches that have taught dispensational premillennialism so by default that is what I land on. I have become more open-minded to other views concerning the End Times. I will present two verses that I look at as a literal future plan for Israel as a nation and would invite...

How long would you say a person can go without faith working through love? Let's say you're having a bad day and you're not feeling as generous as you normally would be. You walk by a homeless person and you tell yourself that you're dealing with too many problems right now, I don't feel like...

Was the thief on the cross saved by having faith in Christ or by repenting of his sins along with having faith in Christ?

Happy to be back. :Biggrin

Good evening, brother. It is true that the law is written on the heart of the believer so they will strive to do the deeds of the law as a natural result of their faith. So there is nothing wrong with your interpretation, doctrinally speaking. I believe the meaning of “the doers of the law...

As I have studied this issue further it has reinforced my conviction that there is still a future concerning the nation of Israel. It seems to me that the majority position here is Replacement Theology. If that is the case then I should move on to somewhere else. There are essential Christian...

Does this apply to an unsaved person? Why would there be the possibility that He predestine those who would not believe? God does not passively take in knowledge by looking into the future to see who would and would not believe. Ephesians 1:4-6 - According as he hath chosen us in him before the...

The only flaw with your argument is that the chapter and verse divisions are modern innovations. Romans 9 is a continuation of Romans 8. Romans 8:30 - Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also...

I will consider your position further and I will get back to you.

How did you determine the proper meaning the first time you read it? Assuming you weren’t using an 1828 Webster’s dictionary to look up every common word.

You MUST read this in its proper context. Paul is responding to an argument. Romans 11:1 - I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Who are His People being spoken of here? Jews and Gentiles? Why would...

I have studied this issue and I have read points of view on both sides. I agree that Jews and Gentiles are gathered as one in the body of Christ’s church. However, I can’t ignore verses that speak of future prophecy concerning the nation of Israel. One example I have used many times on here...

Does your position assert that the Holy Spirit would allow the reader to instinctively know that “prevent” is referring to its 1828 definition? Otherwise one might completely lose the proper meaning of the verse.

I understand your conviction and I understand that you have rested your case with me. I am not attempting to sway you from your position. For the sake of discussion, let’s assume that the KJV Elizabethan English is somewhere between 5-10% outdated compared to modern English today. At what...

Yes I did miss that. My apologies.

Please correct me if I misunderstand but are you suggesting that a person isn’t saved unless they believe in the infallibility of the KJV?

They were definitely saved Christians and they preached a saving Gospel. Don't get me wrong, anyone can read an NIV and get saved just as much as the NKJV. Going to church on Saturday as instead to Sunday didn't bother me so much because I was a new Christian at the time. They made the argument...

The example I provided is just one of many and you even acknowledged there are inconsistencies. The fact that the NIV (at least the 2011 version) translates men as brothers and sisters should disqualify it from anyone using it as their primary bible. If you want to use it alongside a literal...
