Good quote. Peter said this to the strangers and foreigners to whom he addressed his letters, most of whom were physical offspring of Jacob and who resided in the provinces of Asia minor. This would include the letters written to churches in that region, Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians, 1 and 2...

Two things: 1) There were 39 books of the Bible available for Peter to quote. God had just poured out the Spirit from heaven on Israel and called it a baptism because he had immersed the whole nation. It caused the preachers to speak and the nation to hear in their resident national languages...

My tag line is Believe the words and honour context. My conclusions come from this practice. 1) Jn 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son........... 2) 2 Cor 5:21 - He (God the Father) has made him ( Jesus Christ) to be sin for us who knew no sin that we may be...

The gospel in this context is the good news that God will bless the gentiles through the seed of Abraham. How this promise has been and is being fulfilled in this age is that God through sending his only begotten son, Jesus Christ, the perfect man, to become sin for the whole world and pay it's...

Why was this the proof prophecy, the first words out of the mouth of Peter to Israel in this new dispensation 50 days after our Lord Jesus was raised bodily and physically from the dead and 40 days after he ascended to heaven where he is now (this is that)? This had at least a token fulfilment...

The old man will be saved at his coming to the earth. The new man will be delivered at his appearing in the clouds. These are two different men and two different events.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but...

As my Vietnam friends used to say, same-same.

What do you believe? Premillenialism? Dispensationalism? Amillenialism? Do you believe in a rapture?

Some people have made the simple truth of 2 Thess 2:13-14 much too hard. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14...

Ho! Most people are too intelligent to be unable to understand what God means by this term foreknowledge, foreknew, etc. Therefore I suggest some people are being tricked into misunderstanding it. The simplest definition is to know before. That is all it means. There is nothing spooky about the...

Thanks David for your answer. The reason I did not quote all the conversation between Jesus and the gentile woman is because I anticipated your response would be exactly as it is. You would quote these verses as if they moderated or modified, altered, or otherwise changed the directive of the...

David, have you ever read Matthew's gospel? I am not trying to insult you but have you ever considered what it says. If you believe the words of the gospel of Matthew the question would be answered. Consider what the apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians who were having problems with the law. 4...

I am not sure what issue you have with my post. I would not disagree in the least of the literal reading of those verses, but what do they have to do the the literal reading of Jesus Christ judging the literal nations according as to how they treated Israel during the great tribulation, which I...

A one sentence exposition of the whole Bible is not sufficient for sound doctrine. Surely the mind of God is more complex than that, no?

Who being saved and lost? When? You will not explain your logic and reasoning?

Thanks David. I will fix that so it will be more easily understood. Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. The apostolic band numbering 12 apostles who were chosen to minister to Israel, the people, along with Jesus did not change. They continued after the resurrection to be called to minister to...

Au contraire! I have a great deal of interest in addressing the sheep and goats in the Olivet Discourse and accept the definition in the text. They are nations, not individuals. I will likely have more to say about it. Stay tuned if you are interested.

Please quote me saying that because I need to fix that. I did say that Paul wrote 13 letters to the church and never mentioned goats and only mentioned sheep in the context of the Jews one time. The reason for that is the fact that he is the apostle to the gentiles and his epistles will be the...

Work with me here please. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Do you think the structure of this sentence demands that nations is the antecedent of the pronoun "them" or do you think individual...
