If you say so, but the promise given by God isn't nullified by poor teaching or lack of understanding, and Judah is one of three tribes referred to as Jews (Judah, Benjamin, and Levi.)

That's about as vain as a man can get. The Almighty doesn't need the defense of anyone.

The verse doesn't say why, but I can understand why a carnal mind might think so.

The New Covenant was actually promised to the Jews as an unconditional Covenant and spoken of as such in both the books of Ezekiel and Jeremiah. 31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not...

Very good, so you do actually understand what an analogy is, but are just trolling my post. I'm impressed with your vanity. Have a nice day.

Repentance is God's work and it took nothing for me to turn from sin to believing Christ other than His Spirit. If you're working for salvation, you've fallen from grace.

Terrible analogy. Adam, Eve, and their children were all flesh, but they weren't all one. Scripture says Adam and Eve are representative of Christ and His church, not the trinity. Can God be deceived as Eve was? Can God sin as Adam did? Your reinterpretation of scripture to support argument...

No. No one repents of sin without the conviction of the Holy Spirit. We are by nature at enmity with God. No one at enmity with God seeks Him or His forgiveness. Repentance remains the work of the Holy Spirit. Do a word search for "heart" in the old testament and read all the passages of God's...

That's nonsense. We are saved by faith alone. Works are just a proof of His presence. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds...

I did over 25 years ago. I'm not a babe, nor a young man. I've walked after the Lord for about 30 years and with Him for 26.

You like to pull contrary verses out of context to deny God's grace. That makes you an enemy of the Cross and subject to God's judgment. Good luck with that.

You're ignoring that in my posts I've stated that nothing in creation can be a perfect analogy of the trinity, but reveals the nature of God imperfectly. Perhaps your problem is just poor reading comprehension.

Thank you for teaching what I've already taught, but you're still missing the point that we are saved for good works, not to sit back and pretend we are something when we're not. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should...

Neither salvation or sanctification is by works, but faith produces works. Faith that does nothing is useless (dead. ) I'm pretty sure that this is what Hebrews chapter 11 is all about, the accomplishments of faith.

This is not strictly biblical. 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians...

I think that the point is that anyone, believer or not, can eat a cracker or some unleavened bread and drink some wine in the public celebration of Christ's death and resurrection , but doing so with an unbelieving and unrepentant heart is making a false confession of faith in Christ. Likewise...

Maybe, but scripture doesn't actually say that anyone is in hell prior to the judgment at Christ's return, unless you believe that Hell is the same as the Hebrew Sheol or the Greek Hades. I'm unable to make that connection, but it could be true. However the Bible doesn't actually identify the...

In John's gospel, at the last supper, Jesus asks the Father to restore His glory, not simply glorify Him in the resurrection. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which...

I think it was the expression "fruit worthy of repentance " which is a bit cryptic. It's not suggesting that we sin so that we need to repent, but that we demonstrate repentance by works, similar to the idea that faith without works is dead. I've heard people say that they repent of one sin or...

Adam and Eve had free access to the tree of life and could have lived forever. That was the point of being banished from the garden after Adam's sin, to prevent him from being eternally separated from God.
