Hello again, @Waiting on him, Paul is speaking to the believers at Corinth, many of whom were Jews, yes. He had figuratively 'begotten them' by the preaching of the gospel, for they had believed and received it to the saving of their souls, so were born from above. Praise God! In Christ...

Hello @Waiting on him, No, indeed. See Ephesians 1:5:- 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and...

Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, I think you should take this up with the author of the Scripture, for the Holy Spirit tells us that the Old Covenant made at Sinai, will be replaced by a New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31; Hebrews 8:8; Hebrews 8:13; Hebrews 12:24). The Old Covenant made at Sinai was a...

Hi @Waiting on him, It was not the difference between the words 'vei'l and' vail' that was at issue, but your reference to the 'vail' as a marriage veil which it is not. Within the love of Christ our Saviour. Chris

Hello @VictoryinJesus, I agree that sometimes by 'zoning in', as you say, it is possible to neglect the bigger picture. However, I do not think in considering the New Covenant in this way that I have done so. * The words, 'Behold, I make all things new' has an application that is still...

Hello there, @FolowHim, Forgive me if I have offended you. I thought that if you had seen the OP, you would have seen that I do not believe that the church which is His (Christ's) body is under the New Covenant. For the New Covenant is at present in abeyance until Israel repents and is no...

Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, I was not quoting a verse of Scripture, but stating what is a Biblical fact, that the covenant with Israel, was made by God with Israel. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Waiting on him, In Jeremiah 31:32, the word translated 'husband' has the meaning of either 'Lord or Master' or 'to disdain or reject', that it is the second is proved by it's usage in the New Testament, in Hebrews 8:9, where the verse is quoted, and translated 'I regarded them not'...

'Seeing then that we have such hope, .. we use great plainness of speech: .... And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, ...... that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look ........ to the end of that which is abolished: 'But their minds were blinded: .. for until this day...

Hello there, @Waiting on him, With respect, the New Covenant which will be made with Israel, will replace the Old Covenant made with the children of Israel by God at Sinai. Would you please give the Scripture reference which tells us that this covenant is a marriage agreement. Thank you In...

'And hath put all things under His feet and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church which is His body the fulness of Him that filleth all in all' (Ephesians 1:22-23) Hello @GerhardEbersoehn, Thank you for this, I will check it of course, but if what you say is the correct...

Hello @Davy, With respect to you, If you have anything to say 'about' me, then please say it to me personally, and not 'behind my back', though I can read it along with everyone else. You say that I am a heretic!! I am not saying that Jesus Christ is not with the Church. That is a flagrant...

Hello @Waiting on him, Yes, adopted as sons by God, brought into the household of God. So much to rejoice in!! :) In Christ Jesus Chris

Hi @Waiting on him You are referencing Isaiah 66:7-14 from reply#91 I believe. Yes it is truly wonderful that we are born from above the moment we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. In the prophecy concerning Jerusalem (Zion) in Isaiah 66 it is Zion who travails and gives birth in one day...

'According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, .. that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, .. according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory...

Hello @FollowHim I am glad you liked the verse I quoted in response to your reference to the 'corner stone', from Psalm 118:22 and Matthew 21:42-44 in (reply#103). I also share your joy in the relationship we have with the Lord Jesus Christ, and the knowledge that we have been born from above...

Hello @@Waiting on him, You are agreeing with words quoted from reply#98, (quote) * The hope of all at that time, was for Israel to repent and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as their Messiah, in response to God's call through Peter in Acts 3:18-20, so that the Lord may return and Israel as a...

Hello @Waiting on him, With respect to you, the quotation I made, from which you have extracted those words, was from Jeremiah 31:32, and those words were directed to 'the house of Israel' and 'the house of Judah' (v31): not to the church. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @GerhardtEbersoehn, With respect to you, the Bible contains several covenants which are 'everlasting' covenants. The New Covenant replaces the Old Covenant, which was made by God with Israel at Sinai, to deny this is to contend with the very Scriptures themselves, and rob it's wording in...

Hello @Waiting on him, In the OP, I said, 'I do not believe that the church which is the Body of Christ, being called out during this dispensation, is in a covenant relationship with God. For the new covenant, as with the old covenant will be made with Israel.' * The church which is His...
