Hello @Harvest 1874, I would dispute that claim, but am not currently in a position to argue the point. However I believe that the times of the Gentiles are still in place, surely present day happenings in themselves are a proof of that. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @Nancy, No, just have a different way of expressing things I think. I don't know whether the ending of 'the times of the Gentiles', coincides with the up-call of the Church which is Christ's Body, but I will look into it. Thank you my friend. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Philip James, Israel are associated with a covenant, Old and New. Believing Gentiles during the Acts were blessed with faithful Abraham, but by nature and in the flesh Gentiles were strangers from the covenant of promise: and in the teaching concerning the Church which is the Body of...

Hello @David Taylor, Thank you for responding. It is with the Lord Jesus Christ that covenant (or promise) was made, before the foundation of the world, relating to the calling of The Church which is His Body, which is the promise of life (Titus 1:2) Our relationship with God is through Him...

Hi @Nancy, That was not the thought in my mind, but I thank you for raising it, for until 'The Body of Christ' is taken up, Israel cannot take it's prior place once more, as we know will happen in the purpose of God. For at present in the One Body of 'the unity of the Spirit' the believing Jew...

'For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of...

'The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in His way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth Him with His hand.' (Psalm 37:23) Hello yet once again, @DoveSpirit05, The verse above also comes to mind in regard to your question, 'are...

'Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.' (Proverbs 3:5) Hello again, @DoveSpirit05, You ask me if I am being led by the Spirit of God. I believe that the verse above is the answer...

Hello @DoveSpirit05, The word of God is the Holy Spirit's 'sword' (Ephesians 6:17). Therefore, whenever I open my Bible and prayerfully read it, I expect the Holy Spirit to take of the things of Christ and make them mine: for that is His purpose. He ministers to me, feeds me, encourages...

'Thy words were found, and I did eat them; And Thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: For I am called by Thy name, O Jehovah Elohim of hosts.' (Jeremiah 15:16) Oh My, @DoveSpirit05, What are my hermeneutics? o_O I don't think I've got any of those! :) That is not a...

'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.' (2 Timothy 2:15) 'Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.'...

Hello @DoveSpirit05, o_O Yes, but it has not, and never will be said of them that they are, '... holy and without blame ... ' In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GISMYS_7. What I find interesting about this prayer, which was written during the period covered by the book of Acts, is that for it to find fulfilment for those receiving the epistle of Paul, it would need the repentance of Israel, which as we know did not happen. For then the Lord's...

'Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, .. have not submitted...
