Is this meant to silence those who reject Paul's apostleship on account of his doctrine that Jewish believers are not to serve God through Torah but through the Spirit?

Looks like what you said was false.

I wish that God would bring the exact answers to my questions in a reply to this thread within the next 5 minutes. If what you said is true, then it will happen; if what you said is false, it won't happen.

I'm sorry, I didn't find anything helpful in the podcast episode I chose to listen to. Thank you.

I'll check a single one out. If it is a disappointment, as virtually all have been, I'll not be investing more time into it. I appreciate it, but I came here to have specific discussion.

If you're offering an answer, isn't it helpful to make it concise? Telling someone "Wade through over a hundred podcasts, and find the answer I claim will help you is there" is not helpful. Not really interested. Beside, I've listened to so many podcasts, lectures, presentations--no one has...

Sir, this is a Bible discussion forum--the fact that you are not grateful for being corrected, so that error does not spread, and are, instead, insulted that someone inserted a small correction, speaks volumes about how you are interacting in all your interactions here.

Oh, sorry, the "tickets are sold out" was for the "lightbearers" link. The "ReDiscovering" podcast has tons of podcasts. Which one did were you thinking would be helpful? (I can't listen to hundreds of hours of material to address a specific question.)

Right, so they lacked the New Covenant benefits, meaning they were not partakers, meaning they were not "saved as we are saved". That's precisely what I had said before.

What did those men die in faith without having obtained, then (Hebrews 11:40)--and why did they obtain it together with those who partook in the New Covenant?

Well, I stand by the Scripture: they lacked. What did they lack, and why did they obtain it AFTER the New Covenant was inaugurated?

Who will be "ashamed"? Those who are "naked" (Rv 3:17, 16:15). Well, what are the "garments"? Good deeds (Rv 19:7,8). So, if the "spiritual babes", the "little children", do not abide in Him, they will not be "clothed" with "good deeds", and they will be "ashamed" at His return. "Shame" is a...

Nowhere are we told anyone's position "in Christ" is eternal. We are told, rather, something about "eternal life", but it is specified that that is "in His Son"--and, contrary to what you are asserting, the children are warned "remain in Him so that when He appears you will not be ashamed" (1 Jn...

No, rather, in such a case, it would be said, "How much sorer punishment would he be worthy of who has trampled under foot the blood of the Son of God?"

How could they have believed unto salvation when Paul says the Gospel was not even available to them? Romans 16 25Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages...

You had said that the ancients, before Christ, were "saved", like we are, because they believed in promises--I just wanted to clarify that they were not "saved" like we are. They lacked. We do not lack what they lacked. That's all. They did not have the blood of Christ, nor could they have...

When explicit knowledge of God's will comes in (as it had with Adam, and as it did when the Law came through Moses (Ro 5:14)), it turns sin into transgression. All transgressions are sins, but not all sins are transgressions. But since Adam sinned without having had the Law, only having had the...

You have said some true things, but that truth is mixed up with a lot misunderstandings: 1. The Gentiles were never "under Law" (eg, in Romans 2 "Those who sinned under Law will be judged by the Law, those who sinned without the Law will perish without the Law."), so believing in Christ doesn't...

Again, with all respect: The text says those Jews died in faith without having received what was promised, and, without us (the audience is "Hebrew"), they would not be made perfect. What is the distinction between "us" and "them"? Not Jew and Gentile, but pre-New Covenant blood of Christ...

LOL Well, we have to agree to disagree: I read, from Scripture, that the Corinthians--whom Paul affirms were "unleavened", and "in Christ", and all of that good stuff--were sinning, and needed to repent, but, because you are insisting on interpreting 1 John 3:9 as meaning "you can't have sin if...
