Technically, given that we all see through a dark glass, nobody has the full understanding. Nonetheless, I understand that which I'm confident God has revealed to me. Is it perfect understand? No. It is what it is. Anybody taking a different position on the matter is not being honest with...

God inspired Paul to write the things he wrote after the day of Pentecost. Would you deny that Pentecost changed things? So, although we can learn from the OT and the gospels, the letters of Paul give the specific marching orders for the Christian church, and they are radically different than...

You'd have to read more of the thread between God'sGrace and myself to get a better understanding of the conversation.

The scriptures.

The things Paul said are not scriptural? BTW, addressing someone as "you people" is hardly charitable.

There's a bit more to it. But I will say it never actually says, "Gentiles were going to become part of God's people."

Doesn't matter what I think about. The question is what did God think about it. Somebody might.

All nations will be blessed when Jesus returns. There are many places in the prophets and in Revelation that explain that. I understand how this must all be rather unsettling (for want of a better word). At one time I thought exactly like you. I believed the long standing tradition. One day...

Man's tradition. Here's what scripture says: Jer 31:31-34, 31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the...

A slight misrepresentation there. I think I was clear that I couldn't argue with scripture. In other words, I agreed with the guy's post which was simply a few verses. I'm not sure of what you are accusing me there.

At one time a was a lousy son to my earthly father. I was still his son though. Christians ought to endevour to obay God out of love, not obligation. Love for our heavenly Father and Jesus grows as we continue to learn just what they've both done for us. The more that love grows, the more we...

Those are all good verses...for Jews at the time Jesus spoke those words. Matt 15:24, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Jesus spoke to the Jews while law was still in effect. Things took a radical turn on the day of Pentecost. Rom 10:9...

There are just a few basic things I've said all along. Matt 15:24, But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Rom 15:4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the...

Jer 31:31, Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: I'm very aware of the tradition, but verse says nothing about a new covenant with Gentiles. The question becomes; truth or tradition? I just decided to throw...

That's right. The problem with the word "perfect" is that we tend to see it as meaning something without flaw. But that is not at all how the word telios was used in the first century. G5046 τέλειος teleios (te'-lei-os) adj. complete. It had the connotation of being mature, being brought to...

I think verse 25 is very much part of the context. Rom 7:25, I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. There is a "law" of sin served by the flesh, and a "law" of the spirit served by the mind. When...

The word for "churches" is "ekklesia" and it means, "assembly". In Greek culture, it's used to describe any group of people gathered together for a common cause. Acts 19 uses the that word to describe what amounted to a mob. It's hard to read Revelation and not see hundreds of references to...

Well, Jesus really said, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." That seem clear enough to me. I myself was never part of the house of Israel. True. Jesus did come to change the world. And, as you say it wasn't teaching only to the Jews. The change came at his During...

Given that you gave minimal commentary here, that most of what you wrote was scripture, what can I say but, Amen! :)

I won't say you that you are wrong. But I would like to get your take on a couple of verses in Ephesians. Eph 1:13, In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of...
