To the Jew first, then the Gentile. It all happened to the Jews/Israel first, yes.. But not to the Gentiles yet. If everything that is written to and for the Jews/Israel, is not for us as well, that would leave the mostly Gentile church with a very thin and sparse bible and hardly anything to...

Not in the way Catholics think and do.

There is always room for abuses and excesses. Jesus knew this and even said He is sending us out as sheep among wolves. The flesh is ever present and the devil always ready to take advantage of it. That's why as we grow in the Lord we learn to be weaned off being taught by men to being taught...

Spiritual authority is by the Spirit of Christ as well. It is according to the gifts/graces given to each person as the Spirit wills, and greater gifts carry greater authority. But that authority isn't to be used like worldly authority.....Jesus taught His disciples that they were not to...

Wow, it's incredible they have gone that far! Thanks for the update sister. Back around the time the Lord showed me Trump was going to be elected the first time, and that he was to be a Cyrus and instrumental in rebuilding "the house of God", He also tried to show me how Cyrus, while being a...

Amen, I agree. I did quote chapter and verse for that passage. And yes I agree with the general context, but do you not agree also that we often need "ears to hear" what the Spirit is saying and "eyes to see"? God is not always confined and limited to the exact literal context with...

I wasn't accusing anyone of anything. Do you not agree with my post in principle about relying on the Holy Spirit and not on our own understanding and natural mind? That is all scriptural. And have you received the Holy Spirit? or are you perhaps cessationist? Those are not accusations but...

You complained the first time that I was "teaching" falsely. Now you are complaining that I am not bringing scriptures. Doesn't seem consistent. Meanwhile I see that you have brought not one scripture to correct where you think I am in error, and I have no idea what you believe about...

Salvation is first to the Jew, then the Gentile……..but also so is judgment to the Jew first then the Gentile. The Jews were visited with wrath and judgment in the first century, but the Gentiles (world) havent’ been judged yet. (So I think we could say He came a second time to the Jews, but not...

I have been alluding to scripture with the things I've been saying but they are probably just passages you haven't focused on or taken note of before. First I better give you these below that you asked about in an earlier post, when I wasn’t able to get to it. I don’t know your background or...

It's looking that way, sadly, if Israel repeats her same errors that led to the judgment of 70AD. Yes, apostate Israel is Mystery Babylon (along with the spiritually adulterous church). Why Babylon....because Israel became badly infected with Babylonish Talmudic teachings...Babylon paganism...

I dont believe Jesus is coming bodily, that we may say lo here He is or there......but He is coming like lightning that lights up the sky from east to west.....yes, in clouds of judgment. I believe He has judged the Jews, but not yet the Gentiles. And further, I consider whether He is going to...

Yes, I agree and don't need convincing that those things applied to "that" literal generation in the first century. Just that I ALSO seem to see another layer of truth, so to speak, superimposed on that. Jesus said right there in Luke 21 that His words would not pass away even though the...

I apologize that I haven't been able to keep up with everything on here lately, but from what I've read, I think you are doing a very excellent job of showing how these things were all to the Jew (Israel) FIRST, and it's been very instructive. And I consider that the intervening time between...

Amen brother. There's no eternal life for anyone apart from Christ, Jew or Gentile.

Hope I'm not diluting anything any more than Paul was in his cautions. Certainly that isn't my intention. I've lived long enough to see pendulums swinging from one extreme to the other. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater seems to be an ever-present tendency.

"It would mean nothing" might be overstating the case somewhat brother. Salvation is of the Jews. And they are loved on account of the patriarchs. That counts for a little "something" and I believe we should have some respect for that....and that it should make us long for their salvation...

I agree 1 Cor 10 is not alluding specifically to the events of 70AD. But it is speaking of a principle that can be applied to 70AD as well as to other events that happened to Israel in the bible. We the church of Messiah are the Israel of God (which is a commonwealth which includes believing...

Amen, I think this is right. That's why scripture says to seek the Lord while it is still called "Today". Speaking of both the length of one's life as well as this age of grace. Like where it says "Night cometh when no man can work"....I believe speaks to both once a person dies, as well as...

It's a principle. Types/figures/shadows/allegories of old testament scripture that do apply to the church. Please dont' be offended, I don't mean to diminish anyone, but it never really was all about Israel to start with. That was all pointing to and leading to and speaking in parables about...
