*** Give it up I used the word we in general to say mankind. I see that you are now wanting to make this discussion between us personal so as to side track the thread. I am not going there so have fun.

*** All your reply does is make one verse defeat other verses. If that is the way you study the Bible you will not see that they don't. The child of God does not live in fear. He/she has placed their Belief (faith, trust, confidence) in The gospel of grace that was given to Paul. These only...

888 This is too vague. Some take the words "take up your cross" to indicate you have to do some works to be saved. The message of God's grace is that He has done all the works necessary for a person to be saved. They only have to believe it.

*** My disagreement is where you said "10 God himself is at rest. And at the end of the journey we'll surely rest with God. 11 So let's keep at it and eventually arrive at the place of rest, not drop out through some sort of disobedience. According to the scriptures the children of God...

*** The thing we need to let go of is the self thinking that it can do something to gain God's favor (salvation). God favors no man for doing things in religions but He loves those that believe in His work on the cross. Heb 10:28-29 28 Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on...

*** That has it backwards. It is the religious that try to get people to rest in their belief system that requires continual works in religion. They refuse to see that the children of God have already entered God's rest because the work of salvation was completed (finished) by Jesus on the...

*** The religious also killed Stephen. The scriptures tell us that the Jews who believed Jesus was their Messiah and King were scattered abroad after the stoning of Stephen. So you see it was not just the apostles. As a matter of fact the apostles were still in Jerusalem as late as Acts 21...

*** 10 For he who """"has""" entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His The religious do not want anyone to enter God's rest because they would lose their need for religion Religion is where men/women do things they think are necessary to gain salvation. They...

G. THE OLD REPLACED BY THE NEW: 2 Cor 3:6-18 (NKJ) 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the """new covenant,""" not of the letter (Law) but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so...

The Ark that God has built (Paul’s “in Christ” doctrine) based on 15 scriptures 2 Cor 1:19-22 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-- by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-- was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him...

F. THE GOSPEL OF THE GRACE OF GOD AS GIVEN TO PAUL: As said above, God had a hidden secondary purpose for the death of Jesus on the cross. From Jesus, and the preaching of the "Kingdom of Heaven," to this time in which we now live is a new dispensation and it was not mentioned in the O.T. it...

E. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL? From Acts 1 until Acts 7 (or perhaps 70 AD) the Jewish nation could have repented and accepted Jesus as their savior. He would have returned for His second coming and set up His kingdom rule from Jerusalem and all Gentile nations would be blessed...

*** No we will not! I do not believe that Jesus Christ came to set up just another new and improved physical organized religion run by men who can deceive themselves? I, personally, don't think so since he said that the time will come, after his death, when man will not say, let us go here, or...

*** First of all let us see that a church is an assembly of people. A religious church will teach the works of men and women to save themselves. They have a doctrine that teaches men and women that they can be saved by things they can do in religion. Religions teach that sin condemns a person...

D. THE ARRIVAL OF THE MESSIAH: Let me make it clear that Jesus Christ, by His own words, did not come to minister to the Gentiles, nor was His message "the kingdom gospel" sent to the Gentiles. He did not offer the "kingdom of heaven" TO the Gentiles. The following scriptures support my view...

C. THE AGE OF THE LAW: Starting with Moses God instituted the Jewish laws and the Jews were commanded to do them. This was the beginning of the dispensation of law and was in effect, for the Jews, until the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD. God's relationship with the nation of Israel...

B. THE AGE OF THE NATION OF ISRAEL: After the Tower of Babel God turned His back on all of mankind except for Abrams. God set the Gentiles aside and started a new race of people to be His chosen (elect) race (the Jews) with Abraham (Abrams) being the first. The sign of being a Jew was...

If you will remember it was the religious that persecuted Jesus and had Him murdered. It was the religious that stoned Stephen. It was the religious Jews that tried to get Paul's gentile converts to keep the Law of Moses. It is the religious, today, that will not accept the idea of God's...

*** Yes he did! He said that his gospel was HIDDEN in God and revealed to him. He did not say it was revealed to any others. He also said his gospel was not taught to him by men (the 12/11). 1 Cor 2:7-8 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before...

A. THE AGE OF GOD'S MERCY: From the Garden of Eden to Abraham God dealt with mankind by showing mercy to those that would acknowledge Him and respect Him as God. It must be noted that at that time all of mankind were Gentiles. God dealt with Noah through God’s mercy.. Noah believed what God...
