Hello @Jay Ross, Thank you very much for responding to my question, and taking the time to give a considered reply. I will print it and take time, with an open Bible, to fully appreciate what you have said. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the...

Hi @quietthinker Again, that is for God to determine, not you or I. For only He can judge justly. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, @quietthinker, With respect, who the nation of Israel is needs no explanation, quietthinker: In God's estimation it consists of 12 tribes: as is witness by the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, of Paul, James and John in the verses I quoted in reply#194. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Now therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of...

Hello @Davy, I have no intention of trying to untangle the words of your entry. If words mean anything at all, and their usage by the Holy Spirit, then their meaning must be judged by Scriptural usage. Your use of the term 'everlasting covenant' is not correct Biblically. This is a product of...

Hi @VictoryinJesus & @quietthinker, The twelve tribes are known of God, for He knows all things, and they will be together in the days to come for the word of God tells us so. The problem of their intermingling is not ours to worry ourselves about. God knows, and His will, will be done. All...

'That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say, lest any...

Hi @GerhardEbersoehn, Yes, but none the less the covenant made will be a 'New Covenant'. In Christ Jesus Chris

'But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.' (Nehemiah 4:1) H5571 סַנְבַלַּט sanballaṭ san-bal-lat' Of foreign origin; Sanballat, a Persian satrap of Samaria: - Sanballat. Total KJV occurrences: 10...

Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, I am glad that you gave a resounding 'Amen' to the two verses quoted in reply#192 'Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of The Everlasting Covenant, ... ' (Hebrews 13:20) 'For this...

'Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which My covenant they...

Hello @Davy, I accept that you believe differently from myself on this subject, but it should not result in name-calling. In Christ Jesus Chris

'And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' Paul said:- And now I stand and am judged for the hope...

Forgive me if I do not respond to this question @Waiting on him, for it would simply take the thread in a different direction, and perhaps, open up another, 'can of worms'. o_O Within the love of Christ our Saviour Chris

'Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, ... ' (Hebrews 13:20) 'For this is My blood of the new testament, (Covenant) which is shed for many for the remission of sins.' (Matthew...

Hello @Enoch111 I opened up this subject for debate, not realising I was opening a 'can of worms'. I have thanked everyone for their time and patience already, but as far as the entries I have made that you perceive to be 'errors', I stand by every word. * I do not know what you mean by your...

Replies #166, #167, #168, #169, #171. #173. Hello @GerhardEbersehn, I am sorry to have caused you such consternation. There is only one point that I feel it necessary to comment on and that is, reply#173, concerning the absence of the word, 'everlasting' in relation to the covenant made by...
