Ok, so you see the vast majority of Christians not being faithful servants and only a very few faithful being given the authority over the unfaithful servants. Do you have any verses that point to this vast difference taking place in NHNE? I can find many verses about there only being a remnant...

Well, I’ll start with when the kingdom is given to Christ. In Daniel 7:13-14 the Son of man is given dominion, glory, and a kingdom. In Ephesians 1:20-21 when Christ was raised from the dead, He was set above all principalities, power, might, and dominion. It seems pretty straightforward that...

I agree parables are not to be taken literally but the fact that the faithful servants are given cities has to have a meaning. It appears you are admitting Amil doesn’t have an interpretation for that parable that would agree with any other scriptures.

So what does the Amil position think the cities are referring to? What do the faithful servants have authority over in NHNE?

I don’t see how the parable of the minas fits with the Amil position. In the parable of the minas there are ten servants, we know the fate of three of them. One gets ten cities, one gets five cities, and the other it isn’t clear but based on the what the other two were given, presumably that...

I completely agree that the Jews did not have to keep the law, they did not have to circumcise, they did not have to follow their customs. Those things were allowed to continue and it seemed good to the Holy Spirit to allow that. The Lord was longsuffering towards them, not willing that any...

Yes, really! Take a look at Acts 21, which you quoted in an earlier post concerning Paul. Acts 21:24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing...

Would the Holy Spirit be considered a Judaizer? Am I missing something here? I’m taking Acts 15:28-29 to mean the Jews had a different burden than the Gentiles. That seems pretty straightforward to me. If you think that’s incorrect then please give the specifics of how you are interpreting...

Because that’s what Acts 15:28-29 says. Do you have some reason to think the same burden was put on both Jew and Gentile at that time? Right, I never said anything different. All people are saved through Christ.

Because the Bible shows that old covenant age was allowed to continue and it seemed good to the Holy Spirit to allow different burdens for Gentiles than Jews after the cross. The old covenant being allowed to continue, even though it wasn’t valid any longer, allow time to transition to the new...

Right, as far as salvation goes there is no difference, everyone has to be saved through the blood of the Lamb. However it seemed good to the Holy Spirit that there was a different burden put on the Gentiles than the Jews. That burden wasn’t in regard to salvation but was rather in regard to...

So how are you interpreting Acts 15:28-29? Why did the difference between Jew and Gentiles seem good to the Holy Spirit?

I’m in agreement with you in that the old covenant was dead after the cross. Can someone today both recognize Jesus died for their sins and sacrifice animals on an altar in their church and be considered a saved person? That appears to be what was going on prior to the old covenant vanishing.

Right, the new covenant came into full force at the cross and the old covenant was no longer valid. Acts 15:28For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from...

Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. The old covenant was dead, it was decaying and ready to vanish but had not yet vanished when Hebrews was written. The old covenant didn’t vanish at the...

I’m not full preterist, I do not think the old covenant was still valid after the cross. I’ve been promoting the idea that the days were shortened which allowed someone to continue in the observance of the old covenant yet still have the ability to be saved. Those days ended when the end of...

Proof will be coming on January 1 2026.

Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: I agree, on the one hand it seems that it would be wrong to make a sacrifice or be zealous for the law yet...

Yea, I wouldn’t argue against that. There is something that is similar to what you’re proposing. Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) The Son of man had power to forgive sins prior to the cross but that...

Here are some of your posts. I’m still waiting for these things to be fulfilled.
