    I john 2, the Spirit of God teaches His people. Let Truth Abide in You 24 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that He has promised...

    Colossians 3 1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life...

    Except you have tainted what you said with your own theology. When we are absent from the body, where are we? For believers we are present with Christ. Now in the OC, this was not so. All went to Hades-Sheol, some in torments , the place of the dead to await Christ's ascension As when Christ...

    "the flesh profits nothing." Yet people still place great emphasis on flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom in their 1000 year flesh and blood reigning on an earth in a flesh and blood kingdom that does not experience a sudden destruction of the wicked, those who do not obey Christ at the...

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so a 1000 yr reign on this earth is false

    That's right, it matters not at all whether someone is jew or gentile, all that matters is a NEW creation in Christ. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. And the flesh goes on to corruption. It is the Spirit that gives life to spirit. All...

    John 8 52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”...

    But even Moses showed in the burning bush passage that the dead are raised, when he called the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ For He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.” ******************************** Jesus is telling us that...

    Oh, it is a biblical notion in the NEW Testament. Not in JW teaching they teach people when they die go poof and are gone as if they never were. For example 34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are counted worthy to attain...

    Yes, believers are the Israel of God, matters not if they were jew or gentile before they believed. As believers are born again of the Father, that is why they can hear Christ as the have God as their Father. God has given to them ears that hear what the Spirit speaks. God accomplishes that be...

    Those who do not hear are not of God Why is that? Well to be of God means to be born of God. Nothing else matters except for being a New Creation in Christ. John 8 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” John 1 10 He was in the world, and...

    25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. Refers to those alive in the body but dead in the spirit, who hear the Lord Jesus, believe, and become spiritually alive to God.

    True, Jesus taught us those who believe in Him have passed from death into life at that moment and will NOT come into judgement. Perhaps Jesus was speaking of the great white throne judgement where the dead are judged by their works, I always thought it so. John 5 also teaches of the...

    Course some do not believe in Christ as God come in the flesh, they might believe the Son of God would dwell in temples made with hands, but of course they are wrong The Humbled and Exalted Christ 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not...

    Agree, But there is this in the broad sense of things about the nations and it applies to all of the nations, pointing to God at work. Acts 17 TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 God, who made the world and everything in it...

    What I get from you is since you believe Peter was only for the Jews, then Peter is not authoritative for gentile believers, and you can just ignore anything he spoke or wrote as none of it applies to gentiles. Don't bother reading, or believing any of it applies to you. I suppose that explains...

    The Holy People and the Treaty

    The New Covenant is not like the old. The NC is like the covenant God made with father Abraham. God himself fulfilled that covenant, Abraham only had to believe God which made Abraham righteous with God, God performed it all. Abraham's covenant came before the OC of the law of Moses. The OC was...

    And also who are the seed of Abraham as in Abraham's descendants? that would be all believers in Christ Romans 4, Paul wrote to gentile believers, not jews. 1 What then shall we say that Abraham our father[a] has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has...

    Paul writing to gentiles wrote that Abraham is our father, according to faith Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who...
