That is not what we were discussing. We were discussing who would be granted the Land in the "age to come". Those taking the Mark of the Beast seem to have been singled out as being especially condemned. It is well-understood that those taking the Mark of the Beast (whatever that turns out to...

Roman Catholic boiler plate. Too bad that the Roman "church" cares much more for the opinion of men than they do about the opinion of God as inspired by His Spirit in the Bible. How do you know that "his entire household" didn't merely mean "all in his household who are believers"? That is...

This is addressing Jews and Gentiles within the fledgling churches. Some of the Jews were telling the Gentiles that they must be circumcised and, in effect, obey the Law of Moses in order to be saved. That is called "Judaizing" and it should never be done. That was settled very early on...

It is a point of grief that we in the Church don't do a better job of discipling new believers to maturity. With intensive Bible study, it probably would only take about three years. But too many who are doing discipling of new believers aren't even mature believers themselves! I have seen...

I explained what I meant--please go back and look at it.

That is NOT what I said. The Jews will be only a part of Israel during the Millennial Kingdom! God will bring the rest of the tribes into the Land--He knows exactly who they are and where they are "scattered among the nations". Those who make it into the Millennial Kingdom will ALL be...

If it is "not needed these days" why did the Risen Lord Jesus tell His disciples to baptize believers "in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit"? (Matthew 28:19)

Similar to "British Israelism"--and we know what a fiasco THAT was. Just one more Satanic scheme to try to thwart God's plans for Israel.

Like the warning from Gamaliel, those who oppose God's plans for Israel, may find themselves fighting against God. Not a good place to be found. God often pronounced judgment on the nations who persecuted Israel--even those who merely laughed at Israel's misfortune.

Yes, Ezekiel 37:11 tells us that in the "dry bones" prophecy, the "bones" represent the whole house of Israel--i.e. ALL 12 Tribes. God knows where the Ten Lost Tribes are today and He will supernaturally bring them back to the Millennial Kingdom. Even today, the Israelis know that all of the...

Yes, I was thinking of Galatians even though I did not cite it.

I agree that those two particular cases are "apples and oranges" it is just that I think we may tread dangerous ground when we seek to emulate the world--in general. First it could be an innocent tattoo, and then it could be going out for drinks at a bar with sinners, and getting into some kind...

True--that is one way of dealing with the problem. I have discovered another way that is especially helpful when someone posts a very long piece of "boiler plate". (Boiler plate is when someone attempts to overwhelm someone with statements and assertions in answer to questions that were not...

I think it opens up a "can of worms" for me to comment, but since you have specifically asked me to comment, here goes: I think that emulating the world may not get us the reception we hope for. Pastors who try to be "cool" for example, often find that the people they are trying to witness to...

The very saddest thing is how Satan can use the people we love the most to "get to us". Jesus rebuked Peter for speaking worldly thoughts to Him.

I think our own "fleshly" (i.e. "sin nature") is not supposed to ever control us once we become Christians, but, in a moment of weakness, we can forget to put our armour on. Satan IS the "Father of Lies" and inspires rage (which the Bible compares to murder) as well. He imprisons and controls...

You have made it into something I didn't say. I didn't say that there is "a different salvational plan"--we are ALL saved through the Blood of Jesus. But it applies differently to different people. A little baby who dies is saved by the Blood of Jesus but it does not require confession and...

That works too. I haven't had any of the mods come back on me yet. Sticking to the facts is important, rather than trading insults. If you just say, "I'm putting you on 'ignore' for telling me I 'lie and tell falsehoods'." So far, it doesn't seem to raise the ire of the mods.

It is actually very easy to do, SG. You just click on their name and a little black box will appear with information like their age and gender, etc. There is a line there that has a few functions, and one of them is "ignore". Just click it and it will switch to "un-ignore" so that you can...

When I do put someone on "ignore" I often tell them that I am doing so and why. I also tell them that I may decide to respond to them in the future. Usually, I leave someone on "ignore" for a couple of weeks and then "un-ignore" them. I am occasionally curious when I know that others are...
