Grace and discipleship

I am sure he could but is like so many who have an agenda.

 

Okay finally we can get to actual discussion on the Scriptures. Now you agreed that there has never been a time in human history that the gospel of everlasting life has "ever" been limited to a certain group of people. It has "always" been open to whosoever will believe.

Now how do you hold to that belief with the understanding that Jesus came "only" for the lost sheep of the house of Israel and to no one else? How do you hold that view knowing that when the 70 were sent out they were sent ONLY to the children of Israel. They didn't even go to the half-breads, and CERTAINLY they didn't go to the Gentiles.

So how do you mesh your belief that the gospel of everlasting life has always been open to everyone with the Scriptural truth that the message Jesus came preaching was to a select audience only and it didn't include the vast majority of the people across the planet. As a matter of fact the vast majority of the planet was excluded from the message?

Does that sound like the gospel of everlasting life?

 

Not until you answer my questions.

 

Figures. I didn't think you were actually interested in looking at what the Scriptures say.

 

I will be glad to look at any particulare interpretation you have but you need to answer my questions Jason. By the way come join this thread and take me throught the scripture:

Obviously not Jim. One has to be blind as a bat not to see what you are "really" trying to do .

 

Apparently only you can see it. Please enlighten us as to what I am trying to do?

 

Jim?

Is that your name RevMitchell?

How did you know that HWIT?

 

How do you know his name is Jim

edited...Amy posted this as I was typing...

 

Jason is being sarcastic because I called him by his name. My name is Mark.

 

Just thought I would throw out a guess like revmitchell . Guess I was wrong.

 

That's SHOULD if you're been born again and are SAVED.

 

This is the same argument you used to defend ME when you were under the username jjump:

You also said it here:

Back when you used jjump you said the same thing:

The context in each case is the same passage of scripture.

 

revmitchell, I don't know if that is proof he is jjump.
I recently cut and pasted two sentences from one of DHK's posts (headcovering thread) b/c I couldn't remember the bible verses and was too lazy to edit it into my own words. Then I placed them into the last abortion thread.

 

You said this a jjump here:

Well, if that is not J. Jump, then he is brainwashed by the same teachers J. Jump was or is.

Initials of church the same as J. Jumps
Statement of Faith the same as 2 other names J. Jump used.
Statements in posts the same as J. Jumps.
Same evasive tactics as J. Jump.
Will not answer direct questions.

Yup, it is J. Jump alright... or his clone.

 

Great! That's what I thought. I certainly cannot imagine anyone on the BB suggesting that we preach repentance and nothing else.

And then there is Acts 19.4 (emphasis mine):

Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

​

 

Therefore, Acts 16:30-31, Ephesians 2:8-10, and Romans 10:9-10 are speaking of the SAME thing....eternal salvation. Trying to interpret these verses as two different salvations is simply "wresting the Scriptures" to your own destruction (II Peter 3:16).

 

Joe it really doesn't matter to these folks obviously. It's easier to talk about the meaningless than it is to focus on the meaningful!
