Wishing all a joyous Thanksgiving and Holidays! What did the Turkey say when it was angry with the computer? Google, Google, Google!!! God Be Blessed! For the one who is brought to God by the Gospel, and planted in the liberty wherein Christ makes free before the Father, it is no more a...

Not by His life, not by His example, not by His teachings, not by His miracles, did the Lord Jesus bring the devil to naught. But, as the Word says, “He partook . . . of blood and flesh, that through death He might bring to naught him that had the might of death, that is, the devil” (Hew 2:14)...

You must never expect to be without exercise, but the less you give way to the flesh, the more will it be displaced. There must be the distinct sense that if I turn from Christ, I lose the Spirit’s support, and I am walking in the flesh. When I am seeking to walk as Christ, my eye on Him, I...

In chapter 3 believers are addressed as partakers of the heavenly calling. In chapter 11 we learn that heaven has been secured to the believer, for Christ has entered heaven itself now to appear in the presence of the Father for us. In chapter 10 we learn that believers have been fitted by the...

Nobody ever deserves salvation. Salvation is always through Christ and only the unbelieving Jews who are alive at His appearing will be the ones God puts His Spirit in. Thus they will believe in His Son, but only after they see Him. All of the unbelieving Jews who've dies before His coming...

HI Wormwood - At present, I find that Jeremiah 31 will be effective to the nation of Israel in general and not to the remnant (i.e. the "7,000", Apostles, disciples, etc. - ), which will already be saved. I also believe this is a collation with Zechariah 12:10, which collates with Revelation...

The infinite contrast between Israel (unbelieving Hebrews/Jews—NC) and the Church is that we are in the presence of the Father, and we are always there; that is the Christian ground: the Jews (same as above—NC) never were there. This is very little realized by Christians today. The work is...

To those who’ve been following the Israel/Church distinction posts, I would like to wait until sometime later to reply to any more comments and questions relating to this issue, because there is still much which I also need to research concerning doctrines related to it. I’m going to try to...

believe many are unknowingly in misunderstanding concerning the concept that the Body of Christ, the Church, has somehow entered into that which God has for His people Israel. He has always "reserved" (Rom 11:4) Jews out of unbelieving Israelites, to believe in Him, which Scripture refers to as...

Hi Arnie - Thanks for the concerned reply, and unless I'm mistaken, it appears from your comments you concur with the article. When desiring to understand God's plan for Israel, I believe there's much clarification in knowing of the Scriptural references to the Israel/Church distinctions. I'm...

I am sure that the way of fruitful usefulness is going out individually to meet the Lord. It is the trimming of the lamps which tests reality, and exposes hollow profession. Our position is very much like that of the faithful ones in Babylon in a former day; they were in complete separation...

Jewish prophecies speak about the Gentiles (and their blessing of eternal life), but they speak to the Jews, through whom salvation came to the Gentiles (Rom 11:11). In my opinion, establishing the basis for the concept concerning the distinctions between Israel and the Church could be in how...

There is much debate concerning whether or not the Jer 31:31/Eze 36:27 prophecies are in reference to the Jews or to the Gentiles also. Presently, I believe that these prophecies are separate from the prophecy of Joel, which has already started since Acts 2 and applies to “all flesh” (v 17)...

"The kingdom of God cometh not with observation" (Luke 17:20), it is not yet visible, because it "is within you" (v 21). But when "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord" (Rev 11:15; 12:10) it will be visible. The Christian is in this world and the kingdom is in the...

I do not hesitate to admit that there is much to learn for all (self included) who desire to know the division of the Church and Israel. I want to share a brief reply to the article “The Church Age” because many still have not understood the implications of Galatians 3:14. The blessing of...

Your reply is well stated and is accurate, and I have just posted an article that addresses this in hopes of getting more understanding for all of us--through one another!

Allow me to share this from B W Johnson's commentary because it's what I believe: "Some hold that "all these things," in verse 33 and 34, refer only to what was said of the fall of Jerusalem, ending with verse 28. Others have contended that the phrase includes the second coming, but refers...

Hi RW - I'm unsure of what you are attempting to specifically imply, but concerning Matthew 24 containing a direct reference to the destruction of the Jewish Temple, I agree. But it also includes the same reference to two other events, which are: "the sign of thy coming; the end of the world?"...

The Christian is initially delivered from sin’s curse, and increasingly (“glory to glory”) delivered from sin’s rule (Rom 6:12, 14). -NC There is no more remarkable journey than Elijah’s last day’s pilgrimage from Gilgal to Jordan (2 Kings 2:1-15). The time has come for him to ascend to...

I just think it wise not to attempt to assign a definite chronology concerning something of which Scripture is unclear, which leaves one only to conjecture, but many continue to try. I believe it's acceptable to want to know and have a preference to when you believe when might be the chronology...
