Hello @quietthinker, God knows very well those who comprise the members of the twelve tribes of Israel, He does not require DNA testing to know who they are, and where they are located. He will gather them all together ultimately: and His purpose in relation to them will be fulfilled. There...

Hello @Nancy, I have only now seen this thread, and have only read the OP, so I do not know what replies you have received. You are right, the term, 'The Bride Of Christ', used so widely by believers, is not mentioned in Scripture. You refer to Revelation 21, and there we are told what...

Hello @FollowHim, The fact that the children of Israel were in a covenant relationship with God, is a Biblical fact. * You say that you believe Jesus to be the corner stone of Israel:- 'The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.' (Psalm 118:22) 'Jesus saith...

Hello @Waiting on him, You ask what I believe it would be like for Jesus to redeem Israel? Well the verses that come to mind for me are Jeremiah 31:31-34:- '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...

Hello there, @quietthinker, I can certainly, 'wrap my understanding around those things', as you say. However there is much that I disagree with. * With respect to you, it is not correct to say that the covenants of the Old Testament were the same covenant repeated. No one who has read the...

Hello @Davy, I am in Christ Jesus, by the grace of God, and He is my surety. Praise His Holy Name! In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @FollowHim, I thank you for both these entries (replies#29,#30), which for some reason I missed along the way. Forgive me for not responding before now. I join you in praising God for all that Christ has been made to us. :) * The first thing you did in your first entry was to remark...

Hello @quietthinker, Thank you for this response, I apologise for not answering it before this, but it seems that I missed several along the way. The Lord Jesus Christ is the subject of all Scripture I agree, all things point to Him, and to the plan and purpose of God to be accomplished...

'And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That...

Thank you very much, @Davy, But I must stand by what I have said to date. The New Covenant will be made with the nation of Israel (all twelve tribes). Forgive my brevity, but I have to go now, In Christ Jesus Chris

'Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; .... from the bowels of My mother hath He made mention of My name. And He hath made My mouth like a sharp sword; .. in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me, .... and made me a polished shaft...

Hello @Davy, The epistle to the Romans is written to both Jew and Gentile members of the assembly of believers resident there. Sometimes Paul talks directly to the Jews among them, and sometimes directly to the Gentiles, at other times there is no differentiation, this is determined by the...

Hello @Jay Ross, I acknowledge what you have said with thanks. :) The covenants of the Old Testament, as we know, are either 'covenants of obligation', in which the contracting parties agree to observe certain terms, or 'covenants of promise,' in which no such agreement is entered. The Old...

Hello @ScottA, Thank you for endeavouring to explain yourself further. I will address your words section by section:- * I know and recognise that, ' ... that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the spirit is spirit ... ': though that statement of itself does not tell...

Hello @ScottA, Thank you for responding, and endeavouring to explain. I have read what you have said, but now I need to try to fully comprehend it, before making reply. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

' ... But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: .. And that which thou sowest, .... thou sowest not that body that shall be, ...... but bare grain, ........ it may chance of wheat, or...

Hello Rita, My husband and I have just toasted to our grandchildren's future in this changing world, as the UK comes out of the EU. I had to toast it with a glass of elderflower presse :). It is now 11.35pm, so we are well and truly 'out'. With arctic ice the size of the British Isles...

Hi @CharismaticLady I don't understand why you have mentioned the Jews who were saved at Pentecost, because that is not under dispute: for they form part of the believing remnant of Israel. I have read that Peter and Paul were martyred in Rome, Paul was martyred by beheading for he was a Roman...

Hello there, @Mike Waters, In the day when God will judge the secrets of men's hearts (Romans 2:16) he will be able to judge justly. However the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ will not come into condemnation (Romans 8:1). The Bible does not speak of eternal conscious punishment, the choice...

Hi @ScottA, 'Behold, I shew you a mystery; .. We shall not all sleep, (die) .... but we shall all be changed, ...... In a moment, ........ in the twinkling of an eye, .......... at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, .. and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, ... and we shall...
