    The "We" in Ephesians

    Yes, amigo. Yeshua came in to bring forth the new heavenly (Jerusalem) Israel. One which is of faith. Still, even Jesus was born under the law, and went to Jerusalem, he in essence is "Israel." However, that doesn't stop from where Paul had come from. Being born under the law, and remember when...

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    Outside of the kingdom according to revelation 21-22.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    While some don’t believe that we do live in the new heavens and new earth. I have no judgement upon them. It’s individuals decision in what they are gonna believe. People who believe we live in the ends times and that the wrath of God is coming now today. I have no judgement upon. People have...

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    I believe what the Bible shares with the audience in Revelation 21-22, that to me is the state which we live under and in, the New heavens and earth, @brightfame52.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    I’m thankful that God loves those who don’t love him, and have a place for them to go. It’s truly a testimony to his unfailing love.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    It doesn’t ensure entrance into the Kingdom of God. So, while people have been saved from their sins. No, it doesn’t mean everyone goes into the Kingdom of God. God has instated a place outside the Kingdom.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    Faith in Non-faith is what keeps them from being adopted into the family of God. Their sins have been paid for. What they do with that knowledge is up to them. To look to Yahavah, or not.

    The "We" in Ephesians

    Not so sure that makes a difference. I don’t think I’m gonna change my mind on how I’ve already explained the way I see it. I could be wrong and no one has to believe me.

    The "We" in Ephesians

    Don’t know. Maybe.

    The "We" in Ephesians

    That’s fine. I don’t know, I gave my answer of what I think it means. It’s fine whatever you decide to believe. I’m not gonna judge you based on those merits. I’m just saying for myself personally, I don’t see myself as chosen before the foundation of the earth. To me there is nothing wrong...

    The "We" in Ephesians

    When I think about the foundation of the world, I think of Abraham and how he brought forth Israel whom was a foundation set before the world to be different among every other nation. And in the end though they would never listen, Jesus came to set forth a new heavens and new earth, which...

    The "We" in Ephesians

    I don’t believe I was chosen before the foundation of the world. Personally, @CadyandZoe. Maybe you see yourself as such? I do however believe that being of faith in the Gospel of Christ we are adopted into the Kingdom, and are adopted by God to become part of his family.

    The world has been “made right” in front of God.

    There was only one death, that being Jesus, on the cross. Atonement was made for the world. Jesus did pay for all the sins of the whole world. God rose him again 3 day laters. 1 John 2:2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

    Bible policing? Good or bad?

    I think it’s good to say something when the Spirit moves a person to do so, sometimes the Spirit moves a person just to be silent. However some of the things I mentioned in post 13 remain true. Perhaps someone brings something up, and the best encouragement a person can give is to look and see...

    Bible policing? Good or bad?

    I don’t think so.

    Bible policing? Good or bad?

    Here lately I been making some YouTube videos on some subjects I been making in the Bible study which is fun to do. People don’t have to believe or accept anything said as truth. They should be encouraged to seek for themselves.

    Bible policing? Good or bad?

    I just state my opinions. The only theology I don’t really like or agree with is Christian Universalism and don’t see how people believe in it. I don’t agree with the whole trinity aspect people have; but penultimately I allow people to believe how they are going to. It’s ultimately between them...

    Bible policing? Good or bad?

    Thank you for sharing, stream. The question I pose, is just simply is Bible policing good or bad. There are some people who use the Bible for gain, perhaps they start a church and they gather followers under the guise of being about Jesus, but in reality they are just using it as a way to gain...

    Under the Subjection of Man (Hebrews 2:7-8)

    If anyone else may have any questions or insights concerning this understanding, we must first realize that the writer of Hebrews, is writing to Jewish people whom were born under the law, and the priests and chief elders learned and knew the scrolls of that old testament. It's something to...
