Two houses of Israel? Israel is one house and Judah is one house. Is. 8:14"Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

An emotional response. You are saying it is divisive to decry divisiveness....yet you don't make a single comment on what I posted. Are you just attached emotionally to this doctrine...or is there any substance to it?

Can Gentiles in this world become citizens in present day Jerusalem? By conversion to Judaism. Can Gentiles become eternal citizens in the new Jerusalem? How? Now a Dispensationalist cannot say...by abiding in Christ since Jerusalem is the Jewish capital. One must be a Jew to reside in...

Many people are fully ignorant that they are encouraging a divisive spirit. Yet this is what they do...without realizing it of course. But we are fully responsible for the spirits we endorse. As soon as you try speaking of ALL mankind being equal before the cross... even the Jews...you get...

Dispensationalists always take Israel as they who practice Judaism or are DNA Jews. This is contrary to the teachings of Paul and the whole idea of being grafted into Christ regardless of ancestry. The new Covenant is between God and the 2 houses of Israel. That's it. Only THAT is biblical. It...

As with anything spiritual, there is a dual aspect to consider. There is the "now" and there is the future. The kingdom of God is eternal therefore it is "now" as well as future. If something doesn't yet exist...then it can't be eternal. The same for eternal life. If eternal life is truly...

Shofar shogood! Greetings Darryl! :)

Gal. 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

I think that the bible is there to help us...not with a boiled down version of what we are supposed to memorize or believe. It is often a series of stories that help us to consider what God is all about. It is how God connects to us...and how He wants that personal relationship with those who...

A faith...and a living hope. This cannot be put into a creed or formula. It is a living relationship. It is written on our hearts.....not paper.

If you know Christ, how could you try reducing Him to a formula? If you took a friend of yours...reduced him to a paragraph...and then got other people to think they knew him by reciting that paragraph, would that cause them to know your friend?

If we think that Christianity is a religion...

That will be the topic on judgment day....not how often we read the bible or if we adhered to a certain creed.

Jesus didn't come to bring that kind of unity. He came to bring division within a family...a sword...a fire. Unity is through a shared life...a new kind of life. A life that is in connection to God. Instead of looking down at books...we are to be beholding the face of God.

Unless you are walking like Jesus...you haven't yet understood the word.

Adherence to a creed is a man-made attempt at unity. We are to be alive together in God. Not agreeing about a statement we think describes God. Religion sells God short. It also sells short what we are capable of through Christ. What we should be seeking for is God's intervention, His...

But that is insufficient. The bible speaks of people that walked WITH God. So then anything less than that is falling short of being a people who walk by the word. Imagine if reading the bible was just an account of other people reading the bible. It would be like watching a movie based on...

If you read the bible it speaks of a living God...not other people just reading the bible.

What is a book compared to a living God? 2 Cor. 3:6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

My bible is dead. No pulse. But God is living. We are to go to Him in a new and living way...not by the oldness of the letter but by the new life in the Spirit.
