Who has said they should be thrown out? They are just not of value in regard to our righteousness before God. For that is in Christ, and in Him alone. ‘But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.’ Rom.9:31 ‘For they being...

* Are you referring to the Greek word, 'nomos' (G3551), used by Paul in Romans 7, that I referenced earlier? It refers to the law in general. In Christ Jesus Chris

* Before we go any further, please keep your cynicism out of further comments, for it is not necessary, and simply offends. Thank you. * I avoided nothing. The decalogue simply refers to the 10 commandments, which is part of the whole law given. * This alters nothing, of course other...

The law covers more than the 10 commandments, doesn't it? But, yes, the law as contained in the Pentateuch was not given to any nation other than Israel. It was incumbent upon them to 'keep' it, for it was part of a covenant made between God and Israel. In Christ Jesus Chris

'Better die with honour than live with shame.' This is the proverb. The Japanese warrior would fall on his sword rather than live with the shame of defeat. In other societies suicide was considered a preferable alternative, to facing a court of law, and the scandal it would bring upon not only...

Hello @bbyrd009, The only nation given the laws of Sinai was Israel, as part of the Old Covenant, that was my meaning, nothing more. In Christ Jesus Chris

@Truth, @Windmillcharge, @"ByGrace", @amadeus, @bbyrd009 Hello there, @Willie T , Reading through this thread has been a pleasure, for it has not been combative, but constructive. Thank you. :) Paul, speaking to those who know the law (ie., his own countrymen) in Romans chapter seven, says...

Hello there, @Ac28, I also believe that Acts 28 marks the point where Israel became Lo-ammi, and the revelation concerning the Church of the One Body was revealed to Paul. Look forward to hearing more from you. In Christ Jesus Christine ( User name:'Charity' )

Hello @Harvest 1874 (Ref:#64. P.4) Would you please be kind enough to tell me where to look for what you term, 'the True Bible Chronology', so that I can see for myself what you are referring to. Also, I would be interested to learn to what your references in (#2. P1.) to (SITS Vol.1, page...

Thank you for responding, @Harvest 1874, I hope you were not offended by me. With love in Christ Jesus Chris

Not from me, @Willie T, For I am happy to leave that knowledge in God's hands. Within the love of Christ our Saviour. Chris

We are living in dangerous times, doctrinally, I believe, and need to take care what we imbibe.The need to have the Berean spirit has never been greater. 'These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures...

Hello @Willie T , I had no idea what you meant by 'blackballing', and had to look it up. If that is what I have done, then I apologize to @Harvest 1874. I know what it is like to feel marginalised, but it is inevitable that if you hold opinions that do not conform to the traditional norm, you...

Hello @Harvest 1874 Not being able to sleep tonight, I have been reading through your posts throughout the thread, and have enjoyed your clarity: but forgive me, for I have to ask you directly if you are a Universalist? You appear to be so, for you maintain that 'all' will be saved. Also...

Hello again, @bbyrd009 Thank you for your responses, Yes, @bbyrd009, the Lord Jesus was with them in spirit following His ascension to God's right hand, but not bodily. Whereas it is His bodily presence that is being referred to in Luke 17:20-22, isn't it? Thank you In Christ Jesus Chris

Hello @Reggie Belafonte, Israel as a nation 'And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, 'There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.'' (Rom 11:26-27) ' ... ... my...

'And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." And He said unto the disciples, "The...

'So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.' (John 20:4) Hello @ByGrace, Can you please tell me what the word Willie T was inquiring about, which led to your explanation? I looked up the verse you referred to, as you can see (above)...

‘And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man which is in heaven.’ (John 3:13) Hello @bbyrd009 , - It wasn't intended to refute anything. - The verse you quote from John, does not say that Christ is the only one who will ever go into heaven. He...

Hello @bbyrd009, The new heaven and the new earth will be inhabited, by the 'callings' assigned to them. - Redeemed Israel will inhabit the new earth. - The New Jerusalem, the Holy City, called 'The Bride', will come down out of heaven to the New earth, and will be inhabited by those who had...
