2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. And I think some people have more of a gift for it than others.

Well Jesus/Yeshua ended the old covenant with His once-for-all sacrifice did He not? No need for the old covenant of animal sacrifices any longer after Jesus fulfilled all of the Law on their and our behalf, and the bible says the old covenant ordinances were nailed to the cross in His body...

Gentile Christians have been grafted into the Israel of God...which is also called the commonwealth of Israel because it includes the nations (Gentiles). (the Israel of God is not Israel after the flesh - the bible distinguishes between the two)

As I said on your duplicate thread I'm not really keen on video watching. I asked you a question, why don't you just answer it. Where does justification by faith and by the blood of the Lamb (and His book of life) belong in your theology if born again believers are only judged by our deeds...

Bible says concerning the old covenant that "what is old and obsolete is passing away"....at that time of writing....and soon after DID pass away in 70 AD with the destruction of the Temple and end of the sacrifices. And the mercy seat (ark of the covenant) had disappeared long before that...

Epi, it says right there that righteousness is imputed without works......apart from works.......that means apart from righteousness.......God justifying the ungodly (not righteous)......otherwise grace isn't grace. Grace means it's free, not earned (not reckoned according to debt). You say...

It appears to me that one scripture is being used to form a doctrine on judgment, while others are being ignored. Such as being justified by faith, being justified by the blood of the Lamb, and the Lamb's book of life. Basically it appears to me that it's the gospel that is being ignored...

So............I'm still wondering what @Episkopos thinks of those Romans 4 scriptures. Will he address them?

Because as Jesus said, His kingdom is NOT of this world but is within us. It comes NOT with our careful observation that we may say lo here it is or lo there. So we need to be careful NOT to be deceived by what is earthly and temporal. Jesus made the way of escape from the Jerusalem that is...

So lovely to hear about your young growing family Wynona. Casting yourself and all your cares on Him for He does care for you. Hormones can do a number on us gals and the devil takes advantage of that. Nesting instinct with having children can feel frustrated too if your housing situation...

Me too sister, me too. (How's that for a "Me Too" movement, lol.) I agree....anyone can be in the flesh or in error, men or women. And I think both genders have their areas of potential vulnerability spiritually speaking. We all need to overcome our old nature of the flesh. There is good...

They are loved on account of the patriarchs.....but also enemies for the gospel's sake at times. (And we are to love our enemies regardless.) But even so they are lost souls who often do as the lost do and as we did before we were saved. Lost is lost. That is why I don't think we as...

I'm not at all sure that forums rise to the level of being a church meeting. To me it's a forum for discussing and looking into the word, and talking things out, and if the leadership allows women to participate then we are under their authority to do so.

Though God has given teachers and preachers to the Body of Christ. But I think we only are to receive when we hear the Shepherd's voice speaking to us through a vessel. In that way it is the anointing (Holy Spirit) that is teaching and edifying us. Our reliance needs to be on the Lord and not...

"Woman" allegorically in scripture pertains to the flesh, ie, the flesh is weak.....women are the weaker sex. "Man" pertains to the spirit, which has strength/ power/authority, (and our soul sometimes might be caught in a battle betwixt flesh and spirit, but needs to be submitted to the...

Bible says we need the whole counsel of God. Balance and counter-balance. Two-edged sword. We have the wonderful assurances and promises of scripture but that is counter-balanced by the fear of the Lord and all the admonitions and warnings in His word. It all should be preached and taught...

@Episkopos, even the unbelieving Jews, chosen people of God, who were seeking to establish their own righteousness through good works of the Law…….could not find salvation in that. But needed to submit to the righteousness of God, ie, submit to and obey the GOSPEL which is only through faith...

Those bent comments of his are bent and are uncalled for, golly. :rolleyes: Episkopos seems to even assume that because we believe what God says has been given to us through the Christ, that we are ascribing it to ourselves as being of ourselves and congratulating ourselves for it. But while...

A remnant......means those who are faithful and believe. A remnant of the nation of Israel are those from that nation who have faith and believe in Christ/Messiah. Just as Isaiah cried, though the number of the Israelites be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant will be saved.

I haven't been trained by men. God will judge by whether people's names are in the book of life. Which life is only found in Christ. White robes are not of our own, they are GIVEN according to scripture and thus the righteousness thereof is IMPUTED to the wearer.....and those robes are made...
