Hello @ScottA, In Luke 24:39, our risen Lord told His disciples that He was not a spirit, but 'flesh and bones', and the members of the church which is His Body, are spoken of in Ephesians 5:30, as being members 'of His flesh and of His bones'. When He ascended into heaven, he did so in that...

Hi there, @n2thelight, Do you? It really depends on what you define as the 'Church'. In the OP, I referred specifically to 'the church which is His Body the fullness of Him that filleth all in all' (Ephesians 1:22-23). That company came into being following the departure of Israel into the...

Hi @CharismaticLady, Black and grey hair is great! Don't knock it! :) You and I, though very often taking part in the same threads, have not actually had a lot to say to each other. We obviously do not see eye to eye concerning the New Covenant, but that is probably because you appear not to...

Hello @Steve Owen, Thank you for responding. As I explained in my previous post to Enoch111, 2 Corinthians was written prior to the revelation of God to Paul concerning the church which is the Body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23). I acknowledge the change which took place in God's...

Hello there, @Enoch111, This response was in reply to my entry (#42) in which I tried to explain how you and I differ in regard to our conception of the church which is His (Christ's) Body, which is 'the fulness of Him that filleth all in all'.(Ephesians 1:22-23). You have called it...

Hi @CharismaticLady (reply#45) & Enoch111 (reply#47), I acknowledge your posts with thanks, and will come back to them (God willing). Must go now. Thank you too @Nancy. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Philip James, I had not addressed all your points in my last entry (#44)in relation to this post of yours (reply#41), so I have come back to do so. You speak of the believing remnant of Israel who obeyed the call of God through Peter in Acts 3:18-20, who embraced the truth concerning...

Hello @Philip James, With respect, you are wrong in thinking that I am (quote)' identifying Israel only with those who rejected Jesus' The unbelieving among the nation of Israel, did reject the Lord Jesus Christ as their Messiah, their King. The nation did go away into the blindness of...

Hello @Stumpmaster, With respect, you have misread my words in the OP, for I did not say that, (quote):- ' ... Gentiles in the Body of Christ are not included in the New Covenant ...'. What I did say was, (quote):- 'I do not believe that the church which is the Body of Christ, being called...

Hello @Enoch111 It is obvious from your application of these verses, that our understanding as to what comprises the church which is His Body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all is not the same as my own. This letter was written by Paul in the years prior to the revelation of the...

Hello @CharismaticLady, What evidence do you have that, (quote) - 'the New Covenant was made with Israel on the Day of Pentecost, to all who accepted Jesus' The Gentiles were enabled to enter the Kingdom and were grafted into the Olive Tree of Israel, thereby partaking of the blessings of...

Thank you, @Harvest 1874, I will read through your blog post. “The Times of the Gentiles” In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @DPMartin, With respect, I am not disputing the fact that the Lord Jesus is the mediator of the New Covenant, but I do dispute that 'the covenant is to all the faithful', as you say. For the New Covenant, as with the Old Covenant, was and will be, made with the nation of Israel...

Thank you, @Harvest 1874, "The Times of the Gentiles" - I have read it through, but need to read it again more thoroughly before I can comment on it, thank you for including it, and for your response - reply#21. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @CharismaticLady, Are you saying, with the words, 'it was', that the Church which is the Body of Christ is in a covenant relationship with God? Also, would you please explain why you are said, 'Gentiles are only grafted in'? What does this have to do with the New Covenant? For following...

Hello @Philip James, Thank you for responding. I asked you for Scriptural confirmation of what you had said in your response to me in reply#15 (quote) * The verses you have given which you believe confirm that the Lord has wed His people Israel are:- John 3:29 and Ephesians 5:32-33...

'But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but He that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, Who both...

'But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive...

Hello @Philip James, Thank you Philip, but on what Scriptural basis do you say that the Lord has (past tense) wed His people Israel? In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello Harvest 1874, Thank you for your input, but I cannot agree with you I'm afraid. In Christ Jesus Chris
