    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Brother, let's think a minute....is it really possible for any earthly covenant to be eternal, since this earth is temporal and waxing old and like a garment God will change it...? Those earlier covenants were prophetic types/shadows/allegories of the new covenant which is the only truly...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Sorry, I meant to come back to this. What covenant are you talking about specifically....do you mean the circumcision? Rom 2:25-29 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Yes He has, and the Jewish and Gentile church is Israel...the Israel of God. He is a Jew who is one inwardly. Now we know no man according to the flesh. In the kingdom of heaven there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female. However, the Jews/Israel are loved on account of their faithful...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Again, I wasn't making a comparison as to the seriousness of various sins......just pointing out cause and effect. But I wonder how many are aware as to how seriously God does take sexual sin....it defiles the land and invites His judgment. Not to mention the danger it poses to the soul. The...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    I've forgotten all the math from Daniel...but to my understanding it all added up to when Jesus came in the first century....? Already fulfilled. But I think we need to consider whether there is a way in which "what has been will be again".....it was all to the Jew FIRST, but THEN to the...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    As the apostle wrote, the ordinances were nailed to the cross....they are no longer in effect. What was old and obsolete was fading away at the time of those NT writings....a transitional time.....Israel's valley of decision......then in 70 AD the old covenant was over and done with. However...

    Eternal Life is Now!

    I'm not much of a video watcher, but I agree with your written statement in principle. And we who believe have received eternal life because it is IN us. As the bible says, "He has set eternity in our hearts." At the same time, it is a promise for the future as well...that we will never die...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Stop hating and being resentful of Israel and all this horrific strife will stop. Israel isn't bent on conquest for the sake of conquest....they just want to be at peace and live but are being forced to go to war and defend themselves. So let her be at peace, and the Palestinians will bless...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    God judges and punishes who He will, when He will. What do you think is happening now with the Palestinians sadly? He punished Israel on Oct. 7 for idolatry and sin and now He is punishing those who punished her. That too is in the OT bible. I'm sad for the Palestinians too though...they...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Bible says God raises and lowers kings and kingdoms of this world as He sees fit, and such worldly concerns are not really our business as the church. It's a snare to get caught up in such things......soldiers serving their commanding officer wanting to please Him are not to get caught up in...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    Isn't He also God of the nations of the whole world too....?

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    I think specifically we could say the new covenant was taken from "Israel after the flesh" and given to the "nation" called "the Israel of God".....which began in Israel with Jewish believers and spread to include believers from the Gentile nations as well. Salvation is of the Jews. Israel...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    This was fulfilled in the natural sense regarding "Israel after the flesh" when the Jews returned from their captivity in Babylon. From what I see, in the spiritual sense that prophecy, and others like it, are speaking to those who are Jews inwardly, and belong to the "Israel of God", and is...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    And that covenant is no longer. And unfortunately Israel rejected the new covenant and multiplied her sins leading to her demise as a nation and being ousted out of the land in 70AD sadly, and scattered to all parts of the globe, by God. I wish Israel and Jewish people well wherever they are...

    Israel has been attacking Gaza for decades

    We need to understand this as an allegory (type/shadow) for the gospel being given to Israel. The promised land is the kingdom of God. Prophecies of Israel being gathered to the land was alluding to and looking ahead to when Israel would be gathered like a flock of sheep by and to her...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Maybe read my post again...? I'm pointing out an inconsistency in what the church is doing, loudly denouncing abortion and demanding laws against it, while ignoring the sin which is the reason for people having abortions. So often there is hypocrisy and self-righteousness involved. The church...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    Amen Amigo....i can't keep up with all your posts, but it sure is an old old story as you know. That is the spirit of the world......it's always been around since the Garden. The idea of world peace and harmony and unity isn't something new. Authoritarian dictators basically always want to...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    It's not a competition. I'm talking about needing to deal with the REASON for there being so many unwanted pregnancies and abortions in the first place. Otherwise it's like trying to put out a gas fire without turning off the gas. And the western evangelical church badly needs to consider WHY...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    God's kingdom is not a democracy. Remember how He gave little Israel the victory and dominion over the more powerful and numerous heathen peoples around them?........when she was obeying Him that is. And what caused Israel to fall away from the Lord and be ruled over by the heathen.....when...

    Trump is dangerous - a Messianic Complex

    We have a generation now that is too thin-skinned. So unused to anything that even resembles correction or rebuke or exhortation ...they just are not able to receive it but instead automatically take offense. Loving parents discipline their children to teach them the right way and keep them...
