Are those things a distraction from the LORD's service? As the Anglican Prayer Book puts it - ... we have left undone those things we ought to have done.....

Your original question implied that as believing Gentiles are no longer Gentiles, but Jews. That, of course, is the reason why, in all his letters, Paul addressed "the Jews in the city." We are the true Jews, not those who call themselves "Jews" so we will rename our churches "synagogues" or...

I've been trying to think out what you think I was thinking when you wrote all that against my reply to your question. The erroneous implication of your question (below) is that the saints at Corinth became Jews. While Jewish believers were still Jews, the converted Gentiles are never called...

Gen. 8:22 “While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.” Gen. 9: 16 The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on...

Saints, Christians, Believers in Jesus Christ the Lord, followers of the Way, Disciples, the Church, et al, but apart from assertions like Rom. 2:29 being a Jew is a follower of the OC by circumcision and NOT a NC believer baptised into Christ. Note the triple division in 1 Cor. 10:32.

There is a rumour that the Scottish parliament once debated the motion "an unpopular minority is always right." It was carried by an overwhelming majority!

Jesus is the fulfilment of Prophecy - see John 17 and hear his great cry from the cross - "FINISHED!" Magnifying carnal "Israel" and the people calling themselves "Jews" as the fulfilment of Prophecy, rather than Christ and the Gospel which is simply for repentance and faith in Jesus, expressed...

I voted "Other" because it is clear from Scripture that there are several distinct "ages" (aka "dispensations") in Scripture - Eden, Fall to Flood, Flood to Call of Abram, Patriarchs to Egypt, Joseph to Moses, Exodus to Settlement, Judges to Kings, Kings to Babylon, Priests and Prophets to John...

I am not suggesting using a false narrative to spread the Gospel. However the affirmation or denial of global warming, aka climate change, will not change God's truth. My point is that the occurrence of extreme heat, fires, cold, rainfall, floods, is causing general concern. PREACH CHRIST to...

THIS THREAD IS NOT TO AFFIRM NOR DENY GLOBAL WARNING. IT IS TO DISCUSS MAKING USE OF THE HEADLINE NEWS OF THE POTENTIAL CLIMATE DISASTER WE ARE SAID TO BE FACING FOR THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL.

Thank you Martin - nobody else has seen that point - GOSPEL OPPORTUNITIES, NOT DISCUSSION OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

"Prepare to meet your God!"

There is catastrophic global WARNING! Don't you read the papers or watch TV? This thread is about using that warning for the GOSPEL.

Look around the world - the evils of the disregard for God-given human life results in widespread abortion; rejection of the male-female distinction resulting in multisexual promiscuity; persecution of Christians preaching from the Bible regarding sexuality; slaughter of people because they...

In former years Christians have warned of our LORD's return, often with dates that have never been right. Also we have seen caricatures of "sandwich board witnesses" announcing doom - and with a lion just round the corner to deliver doom to the witness. I propose to use my picture to warn...

The latest news is the impact of a major study on climate change is dangerous warming, with - increase in temperature and risk of wild fires; increase in incidence of storms and risk of flooding; rise in ocean temperatures, resulting in melting of polar ice caps, with rise in sea level...

HOLLINESS ?!?!? Nothing prickly in God's highway! :) !

John's assessment of genuine physical children of Abraham - 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to...

I normally avoid discussions on election, but I would comment - "Whoever" means all those who believe and respond to the Gospel. We look for and expect sinners to be converted. Election is not a barrier to be preached to keep out non-elect, it is a reminder that whoever believes is born again...

George Antonios, thanks for your considered reply. We do need to address these prophecies, in their context, considering both the the Grammatical-Historical exegetical method and the Spiritual method, which essentially sees the prophetic Scriptures as relating to Christ, his incarnation, saving...
