No this isn’t what happened to the Pharisees. The Bible tells us what happened to them. Matthew 15:8-9 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of...

In the OT there’s a story in 1 kings 13 about a prophet who was given instructions by God. On his way he ran into a man who said he too was a prophet from God and that God had told him he could come and eat with him. Now the current prophet didn’t question the old prophet at all. He didn’t ask...

You quoted 4 but you did not quote 5 and 6 which gave us the information we needed. Israel has not been put on hold. Just as you said they too like gentiles must be saved in the same way. The gospel is the good news of human redemption through Jesus Christ. That’s the gospel summed up.

Christ authority today lies in his word. The HS leads and resides through his word. You can’t do things contrary to the word he has given us and claim you are being led by the HS.

You’ve actually brought up a very important point. And that is that words and how they are employed matter. Your argument above just chose what word definition you liked and used it. The Bible teaches the importance of words and how they are used. We don’t get to pick and choose the...

Not performed by but led by, yes. The Spirit doesn’t perform anything for us. The Spirit is the one who leads and guides. It is up to us to perform.

General religion, yes. Pure religion, no.

This is just semantics. Ok. Since there are no qualifications for being an ambassador for marijuana then to use the term the same way means there are no qualifications to being an ambassador for Christ. That’s not what the Bible teaches. Just in the same chapter we find they had been given the...

Ok, let’s see you go knock on the Chinese govt door and say...I’m here from the United States as an ambassador to China and we need to discuss US China relations and see how far you get with that. If just anybody can be an ambassador then you should be ok..

You can’t just say there is more then one def for elder then leave it at that. Give them to me. Book chapter and verse.

I don’t have to read 1 Cor 2 again. I started the thread and you are proving my point. 1 Cor 2 is soooo abused.

In order for us to be saved today we are to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. That gospel message had a beginning on Pentecost in acts 2. You don’t believe me then let’s read a part of the great commission Jesus gave his disciples. First in Mk 16 he told them to go preach the gospel to...

The mystery is revealed in your text if you would have kept on reading.. Ephesians 3:4-6 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the...

Who is this to? And what does this mean? If it’s me it makes no sense. The day of Pentecost was an Israelite feast and that has all been done away with. What promise do you think he’s talking about?

You quoted 2 Cor 5 but it did not change a thing. The argument still stands. The WE of that passage did not refer to the Christians in the church at Corinth. The WE is not the YOU in that sentence. Do you think a fourth grade English teacher would be able to break this sentence down...

Yes Paul was an apostle just like Peter. The Bible tells us that God placed first in the church Apostles, prophets, then evangelist and pastors which is an elder. A pastor, elder, bishop, overseer, shepherd all refer to the same office. There were never any one man “pastor” churches like...

Peter said he was an elder. There’s only one def for that. The qualifications are found in 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1. The church is not the building. There is no AT correct answer? What does that mean? And so far I don’t think you have done that great of job of using scripture to contradict all...

The issue I was talking about was the idea of being an ambassador? Why do you care or not. I have pointed out what the sentence structure and grammar states in 2 Cor 5:20. The WE in that sentence was not the church in Corinth. It referred to Paul and those with him. That’s basic grammar but...

I am not currently on any others but have been on a couple of others in the past. I believe one was called bible discussion. It has been awhile though. Don’t remember the other one it was the first and was probably 7,8 years ago or so.

Can you show me any example of anybody being saved ALONE. There is not one person under the new covenant that ever became a born again Christian by themselves. Alone. You can’t show me one conversion that happened that way. You don’t get to say your “saved”. God is the one who pronounces you...
