    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Mine is not. I have been on a learning curve for over 50 years that has resulted in my coming to realize that God gives understanding to those who study and believes his words. God knows and uses the words nation...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    My mother was a devout believer in Jesus Christ. She was a woman. Are you and @ky on this website trying to convince us that you have verses in the Bible that says those distinctions are eliminated when the sinner gets saved. Paul offered himself as proof positive that he remained a Jew after...

    Rom 9: I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 1 Cor 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Somehow the word "when" got into the text and predictably caused confusion.

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    You guys wear this verse out and reject the Abrahamic covenant and all it's promises to the physical seed of Abraham. All your mental brilliance is lost because of your stubborn pride in your refusal to believe the word of God and to make sense of it. Abraham is never said to be Israel or even a...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    There is a book in the Bible called Lamentations. It is a book of sadness and sorrow. It is about the plight of Jerusalem and Zion during the days since God cast his people out of the land for their disobedience. God himself is sad but over time he is going to heal his great city and his great...

    Obadiah 1:9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    A short time later, after a clear simple question from the apostles about their rewards in the kingdom, Jesus Christ, the son of God ,answered with simple words that a below average 5th grader would have no problem understanding. Just a little bit of reason would, without even straining the...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Ascetic X, thank you for your thoughts on this subject but the language of Mark in Mk 9 surely shows that Jesus is equating the seventh day of the week as the visible kingdom of God. It took place after 6 days. Also he thought that a mountain represented a physical kingdom in the similitudes of...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    God has simply taken something that is common to men and used it as a pattern for a greater truth so we can understand him. I think that is wisdom. He surely isn't constrained by time but we are. So God uses the pattern in our realm to prefigure his work. So, here is an example of both a week...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    ky, none of what I am telling you is necessarily true if you have a different English translation than my KJV. The numbers will not match up. This will not matter one way or the other if God is unconcerned about his numbers and if they are in no way connected to his method of revealing his...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Of course, AsceticX, I would not want to convince you against your will. But I will say that God has as one of the most important doctrines in his whole Bible that incorporates this formula, the "day of the Lord." This is a prophetic theme appearing in the scriptures a total of 30 times over a...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    New Jerusalem is the heavenly city that comes down out of heaven (not to the earth) in the eternal state during the new heaven and the new earth. Picture a satellite city whose light lightens the earth. It is the paradise of God where the Godhead dwells and where the throne of God is. It is the...
