Thank you Ascetic X Sadly, those who believe and teach replacement theology want us to think it is a difference in opinion when, in fact, it is a different theology!

Alan, you are making an excuse for not believing what the scriptures say. You have found a man who has changed the words of the scriptures to prove this systematic scheme. You are a proponent for the KJV only because of it's simplicity and then go through these hoops with these lessons on the...

A post in defense of dispensations taught in the New Testament Scriptures. Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both (Jewish believers and gentile believers in the context) unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one...

Not only individuals were added to the church but entire people groups were added at different times but it was always considered by God as one body, one church. In Ephesians the church of Jesus Christ is set forth as a mystery of God and the theme of the epistle is the mystery of Christ...

The I do not want you to take this as being personal to you. All you are guilty of is being ignorant (I mean to use that word in the same sense as Paul used it when he said, "I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren") concerning the doctrines of the faith and you are led astray by these...

Good job, Pertcho, Amen! The time of the new birth is when the Spirit of God enters into the body of that one who believes the gospel. It was true of Jesus Christ, the firstborn, but it was not because he believed the gospel, he is the gospel. But the Spirit gave him Life. The Spirit is the...

The Pentecostal movement officially began in Topeka Kansas in 1901 when Agnes Osmond (not sure about the spelling) spoke in tongues at Charles Parham's Beth-el Bible college in an all night tarrying meeting, according to some. This is the same year that the ASB was published, the beginning of...

Hi Alan, this will be my last post to you on this subject only because I do not want to argue about what a verse says by the words in the text. I have always accepted the Bible by the historic and accepted meaning of the words unless the text demands something else. In the case of Col 1:18 the...

Continuing to advance the subject of the op, the beginning of the church of Jesus Christ, I must say it is disappointing to see so many struggle with this doctrine. Is anyone reading the scriptures? I have quoted Col 1:18 that is clear about the beginning of the church. There is more in this...

Alan, John the Baptist was not a Christian. He baptized Israel. There was no church during his days of ministry. The Christian faith is founded upon the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. That was an event in history post John the Baptist. Your theology is both illogical and...

Filled with the Holy Spirit is not the same thing as being eternally indwelt with the Holy Spirit. If John the Baptist could have been indwelt with the Spirit, so could others. Why do you think Jesus had to die? Thnk!

Thank you Percho, for your comments and thank you for your attention to the words of scripture and understanding that believing them and using reason and logic to know the doctrines of the faith is imperative in understanding them. Having said that, I believe this doctrine is made simple by...

@Alan Dale Gross said: Nothing I see that has been written thus far, has anything to do with the O.P. That's interesting, just how far off all of this is from what the Lord has Revealed about when He Founded His church, but everyone would have to understand what the Lord Taught that He and the...

I am interested in when Jesus founded his church and I see you are too. But you did not say when he founded it in your view.

When did the church begin according to your understanding?

There doesn't appear to be much interest in this topic. When do you teach the church began?

Israel, the nations, and the church are separate entities but they are not in separate kingdoms. There is one kingdom. When this kingdom is finally established it will have a three dimensional reality. Each of these three entities will have their functions and their place in the kingdom. The...

I take your word for it but I just don't know because I never read the NASB. If all Bibles say the same thing, I wonder why we don't all believe the same thing about the verse? You don't have to answer that because I don't want the thread to be about the Bible issue but about the beginning of...

I don't know what the NASB says but JD731 says the testimony in the KJV is true and can be believed. He also understands that most of the Bible is written in such simple words that it is easy to understand what is stated but for some, if not most, especially Bible translators and those who are...

What does the Bible say? You are going to the wrong sources for your answers? Red Heifers and Parenthesis are are subjects for the detractors, not the dispensationalists.
