Why would this matter? Since the name 'Christian' was readily accepted by the Church and early Church fathers. The commentary I gave spoke of King Agrippa using the term Christian as "That the term Christianus is used as a neutral and sufficiently respectful word by Agrippa in Ac 26:23, and at...

You beat me to it! :Zek:

1 Peter 4:16 (KJV) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Acts 11:19-26 (KJV) Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch...

That's not what is said Mark. What many have come to understand is that ethnic Israel, being Israel still, never stopped being Israel, however they are the part of Israel the nation, that has always been in unbelief. Those in unbelief do not belong to those in the nation who are of faith in...

Why do you refuse to deal with the "Israel of God" who are neither Jew nor Gentile but all people of faith??? Allegorized??? I don't believe Paul was using allegoric language, but plain speaking plainly explaining that man will only find peace and mercy from God when they are of "the Israel of...

That's true Randy, but all Israel is not and never shall be Israel of God! Only those within Israel (remnant) are and shall always be the Israel of God. The Israel of God is and always has been people of faith from all nations. That's not imposing NT theology upon Israel. For in Abraham...

If this were true, Christ would not be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. In addition to that there would not be names recorded in the book of life from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8 (KJV) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not...

So true Jeff, I too look forward to seeing him soon.

Thanks for sharing this Keraz. GEDGE will be greatly missed, but his legacy of faith and doctrinal purity will live on!

"Supposed to be" is a good way to phrase it. There was and always has been a remnant from the nation of Israel who had like faith as Abraham. Then there is the rest who are never of the faith of Abraham. The remnant has always been "Israel of God" that come from every nation of the world...

Who ever says Israel will stop being Israel? This is a statement by Randy, who believes the nation as a whole must become Christianized for the promise of God to them to be fulfilled. But then he backtracks and says they won't all be Christianized, because it will be of only those who are of...

You claim the basis of your opinions are derived from the Bible, truly I have no idea where from the Bible you have arrived at this opinion. Unless you can prove what you allege from the Bible, we should assume your opinions are simply that, your opinions!

Then why were the disciples mandated to go unto all the nations of the world preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God?

It's important to make a distinction between Israelites of faith, and those in unbelief. Because only one of them can lay claim to being the Church, while those of Old who remained in unbelief until death have lost the right to be called children of the Kingdom of God, the Church, the Israel of...

If Christians actually do teach "Replacement Theology" as a dual-purpose word, it would be because they don't really have understanding of what Church is, nor do they understand that the Church has always been "Israel of God" and was never limited to one nation but has always been for faithful...

Yes, as we grow in faith, we should choose sin less. I would love to be able to say I shall never sin again since I've been saved. But sadly as long as I wear this body of death, and reside in a sin cursed world, I do at times give in to the lusts of the world, my own flesh and Satan. Which is...

I would argue Jesus is the last Adam and representative of every human that turns to Him by grace through faith hearing the Gospel, repenting and believing through the power of God through the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45 (KJV) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living...

I believe it typically stems from our pride! We would really rather be found right in biblical discernment, rather than to be shown how wrong we are. It hurts our pride when our errors are publicly broadcast.

This is the kind of comment made by many in these communities that cause division. I believe our doctrinal points should be made from Scripture rather than labeling others as you have here done to a fellow Christian, named John Calvin. Argue for or against doctrine you either do or do not...
