    New Covenant only for Jews?

    Nope, there's just one new covenant which is also referred to in scripture as the covenant of peace or My covenant with David. The fulfillment of biblical prophesy doesn't have to occur all at once and its actually common to see a near fulfillment and a far fulfillment (some prophesy about...

    New Covenant only for Jews?

    Its been happening for almost 2000 years among born again believers. Aren't you taught by God?

    New Covenant only for Jews?

    It doesn't say that, you're inferring that, but the epistle that you are quoting was written to the 1st century Jewish believers, not to a gentile church and has to be understood in that context or it will seem to contradict the doctrine of election.

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Thanks for your obfuscation, but you answered my question without being honest. Your discipline will include a severe restriction on your ability to speak for 7 days and should begin soon, within the next week. I hope that the experience is not something painful, but God's discipline...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Interesting take on scripture, but I'm sure that Jesus would have disagreed. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Since God has appointed me as one of His "spiritual doctors", I'd like to ask you just one question to confirm my diagnosis. The Apostle Paul wrote a few times about the role of women in the church and to the Corinthians he wrote: 34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    No, not at all. I think you can't possibly speak to the way anyone feels except yourself. That's your imagination and I don't acknowledge the imaginary. When did you become the spokesman for the deceived? When did God appoint you a judge of the saints? You may be a Christian, but you're about...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Again, this sounds reasonable but disagrees with what scripture actually says regarding the second coming of our Lord. The scriptures all agree with themselves or they wouldn't be in the Bible. That self agreement was required of them to be included in the canon of scripture. If you find...

    Good theory, but it disagrees with scripture. For example Zechariah chapter 14 and Isaiah 65 (these are by no means the only verses about the messianic kingdom on Earth).

    Of course you would, and yes I will do what I'm going to do to the glory of our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, blessed forever. Amen.

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Actually, scripture doesn't specifically say that anyone goes to heaven. What scripture does say is that the inhabitants of heaven all come to earth ( the heavenly host, Christ, and all the saints.) I would assume that the saints have a place in order to return to Earth with Christ, but the...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    No one "grows" closer to Christ unless they're born again. You may not like or agree with my statements, but they've been very effective for the last 26 years. Consequently, I believe that I'll continue to do and to say as His Spirit leads, and just continue to ignore those who don't get it.

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    No, baptism is a work and an identification with Christ in His death and resurrection. No one is saved by baptism and it doesn't mean a thing unless you're born again. The "destiny" of those who are born again is to inherit all creation, to be coinheritors with Christ. Death in scripture is...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Its not my intent to win anyone to Christ. That's actually impossible for men. I share the gospel and make disciples of men (and women), but absolutely no one is argued or loved into the kingdom. You must be born again. I also started reading scripture as soon as I started reading books. (At...

    I've read a lot of his posts and believe in his sincerity, but he makes a lot of statements based upon what a court would call here- say as opposed to first hand knowledge. If you want to know what Catholics or protestants actually believe or hold to, apostates really aren't a trustworthy...

    Cathy Jones? I think I used to collect her art when she was Jeff Jones (and a guy. ) Stop the world, I want to get off. Oy.

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    The carnality is not the sin, the behavior derived from it is. We can't help but be carnal until recieving His Spirit (and even then, it remains a choice of will.) The reason we are to renew our minds through the word, is that such renewal isn't automatic but is part of our sanctification.

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    So tell my Father if it bothers you, but I've been effective in my calling for 26 years now and He disciplines me when I go off the reservation. Pardon me if I don't value doscility any more than the Apostle Paul or our Lord Jesus Christ. At least I haven't entered any kingdom halls to cast...

    what irritates the crud out of me about "Christians" so-called

    Carnality isn't sin, its the natural state of man. We just tend to associate the word with the Hollywood version. It simply refers to the flesh as opposed to the spirit. By the way, I love the avatar you use. Do you know the artist or title?
