Hello @CoreIssue, Of course buildings are not people, but Jerusalem is spoken of in those terms in the references I gave you. I leave your beliefs in God's hands, for I know that no amount of words from me will change your mind. May God's will be done. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Dave L, That is what you claim. I do not choose to satisfy you in regard to that. For I have better things to do with my time. Maybe one day I will, but at a time of my choosing, I will not be forced into a debate with you, at your whim, tempting as it may be...

Hello @VictoryinJesus, God used different figures of speech in order to differentiate and describe certain things. He speaks of a 'Bride', a 'Bridegroom', a 'Body', they all have facets which need to be considered separately, otherwise they would not be used. There are different callings...

Hello @Dave L Clarence Larking: He may be dispensationalism's 'Yoda', as you scathingly call him, but I have not heard of Him. I study the Word of God, using the principle of 2 Timothy 2:15, and bring everything that I read from another's hand to the Word of God for confirmation: so that, be...

Praise God!

Hello @VictoryinJesus, Ephesians 5:25-32 was used to illustrate the relationship between husband and wife, wasn't it? We are indeed members of his Body, 'of His flesh, and of His bones', Praise God! We cannot be closer than that can we? His Body! So identified with Him, that we are reckoned...

Hello @n2thelight, Hebrews 7:17, 23-28 speak of the Lord Jesus Christ as a priest, 'after the order of Melchizedek'. Mechizedek himself was not Christ, but is said to be 'made like unto the Son of God'. He was a type only: to illustrate the priesthood of Christ, in contrast with the...

'And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.' (Rev 21:2) Hello @CoreIssue, I didn't say, 'to Jerusalem is the bride'. I agree that the New Jerusalem is described as 'a bride adorned for her husband'. The New...

'The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.' (Psa 12:8) * Yet, there must be a purpose. God knows. May His will be done. In Christ Jesus Chris

Thank you, @farouk This thread is indeed a 'blessing'. :) * I can join with those who have contributed so far, much that has been shared are my favorites too. Psalm 139 has a place in my heart. However as Amadeus said, a favourite is hard to pin down. I love the words of Psalm 12:6-7:-...

Hello @larry2, Thank you for responding. I agree that Paul strove to attain the added 'prize' associated with the high calling of God, in Christ Jesus. (Phil 3:14), but we differ in regard to our understanding of it, it would seem, Larry. * I don't believe that the Church which is the Body of...

Of course, @VicoryinJesus, I believe all that God says in His Word. In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello there, @VictoryinJesus, In the Church which is the Body of Christ, which is the fullness of Him 'that filleth all in all', individual believers from Israel and the nations are formed into One Body, in Christ, and there is total equality and perfect unity in the Head, which is Christ. The...

Hello @larry2, With respect, I have a problem with this larry. For what 'church' (or assembly) are you referring to here? * Israel is spoken of in Acts 7:38, as, 'the church (or assembly) in the wilderness'. The church of the Acts period is a called-out company too. However, you quote...

'For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, .. priest of the most high God, .... who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, ...... and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; .. first being by interpretation King of righteousness, .... and after that also King...

I certainly hope so, my friend. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @VictoryinJesus, You posted this in response to my request for scriptures to confirm your thought expressed, that God gave an inheritance to Israel in the form of 'spiritual children'. Yes? * Paul quotes Isaiah 54:4, as you say, 'For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren that bearest...

Hello @Episcopos, It is good to hear that you have spiritual eyes. May you continue to use them. To the glory of God. In Christ Jesus Chris

? Hello @VictoryinJesus, Thank you for repying. * Can you give me a Scripture that I can read to confirm that thought please, for this is new to me. The only inheritance I know Israel were promised, is in the land promised to the early Fathers: to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and to their...

'And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you...
