Hello @prism, Thank you for your frank response. I do not agree with you regarding Bullinger obviously, for I am one who believes that the new dispensation began at the end of the Acts period too. :) With Kind Regards In Christ Jesus Chris

'For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till He come.' (1 Corinthians 11:26) Hello @farouk, In what way does this connect with the 'rapture'? Are you thinking particularly of the words, 'till He come'? * I believe we need to consider to whom Paul...

Hello @prism, I have just found a study on the subject of the rapture, which you may be interested in:- http://www.acts28.net/therapture/ I confess that I have not read it through: but will do so hopefully this evening. I do not normally give links to something which I have not previously...

Hello @Jay Ross, Thank you for the time and effort you have put into your response to me. I have read it through this morning, but will need to sit down with an open Bible, and consider it properly later. This is merely an acknowledgement, to let you know that your efforts are not wasted, but...

Hello @Dave L, 'Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; .. as it is written," For this cause I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing...

Hello @Dave L, I believe that Abraham's seed are the literal people of Israel, for, God said to Abraham, 'in Isaac shall thy seed (plural) be called' (Genesis 21:12): and the promises of God are without repentance:- For I would not, brethren, .. that ye should be ignorant of this mystery...

But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in Him was yea. For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God...

'Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.' (Acts 2:41-42) Hi @farouk, Thank you for your...

Hello @Jay Ross, I thank you for your post, and thank God for the fact that I had to really consider the points you have made in the light of His Word, and that is always a valuable exercise, bringing light and joy in the knowledge of His provision revealed within it's pages. " Regarding the...

Hello @farouk, As a member of the Church of the One Body, of which Christ is the Head, the administration of which applies specifically to this dispensation, and made known by Paul in His letters from prison (Eph. Col. Phil. 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon), based on the doctrinal position of...

Hello @Ezra, These are the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, spoken to the Pharisees. They believed that the dead could communicate with the living, and in a place called Abraham's Bosom. They also, in order to evade helping the poor, would promise them riches in heaven. This story is intended...

'But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in Him was yea. For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of...

Why are you here? Hello @aspen, I have taken part in forums for a long time now. Why do I do it? Because I sometimes feel if I don't share, I will spontaneously combust!!! ;) My heart get's so full that it has to overflow. Within the love of Christ our Saviour, Chris

Subject: Dispensationalism Hello there, These issues being raised, and disputed over, are the result of not rightly dividing the word of truth. For what applied under one administration of God, is being applied in a dispensation which succeeded it, when it was not intended to do so, and vice...

'For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread: And when He had given thanks, He brake it, and said, "Take, eat: this is My body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me." After the...

Hi @marks, Much as I share your wonder and praise at all of the things that God has done for us in Christ Jesus, I think that the definition of what 'glory' is can be lost by encompassing all of these glorious things into it. For we are glorified in Christ Jesus by being identified with Him...

Subject: New blood covenant and new covenant to Israel and Judah Hello @CoreIssue, Jeremiah 31:31-36 and Hebrews 8:6-13, make clear that it is with the House of Judah and the House of Israel that the New Covenant will be made, as the Old Covenant was made with their fathers (i.e., the Mosaic...

Hi Pearl,

Praise God!
