There were Gentile believers who had been living in Israel and were scattered throughout those areas as well. Cornelius and the members of his family are examples of Gentiles who lived in Israel back then.

Is there any other gospel? You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The new covenant was established by the blood of Christ and made the temple sacrifices obsolete. Read Hebrews 8-10!

Right. I'm not saying otherwise. Are you actually reading what I'm saying or not? If you think I'm saying the election was blinded then you are not reading what I'm saying carefully at all. I am saying that some of the rest who were blinded ended up being saved because that is what Paul...

I assume you are a Gentile. You don't believe that you are grafted in (joined together) with believing Jews in the one body of Christ? Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in...

Exactly. I have never seen anything like this before where someone admits to not having studied something much and then acts like they are the ultimate expert on it.

Doug, do you ever ask God for wisdom or do you rely completely on your own understanding? Paul is saying there that circumcision has benefit if you keep the law, but if you don't then it means nothing and is as if you have not be circumcised. And everyone breaks the law since all have sinned...

What is your point? Why do you only tell one part of the story? That was not all Jews. They was a remnant of Jews who did believe and Paul used that as proof that God did not cast away His people who He foreknew (Romans 11:1-5). And the evidence Paul gave for that was the remnant of Jews who...

When you say "the Jewish people are a Holy people" what people are you referring to exactly? Jewish people in general or just Jewish believers in Jesus Christ? Are Gentile believers not expected to live as a holy people as one body with Jewish believers? Romans 1:7 To all in Rome who are loved...

The Father placed all things under Jesus's feet long ago already when He raised Him from the dead and placed Him in a position of authority over all things at His right hand in heaven. Ephesians 1:19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty...

That is not saying we will ever know the day or hour of His coming before He comes again. That is saying that we are expecting Him to come, unlike those who are in spiritual darkness. So, while we don't know exactly when He is coming, we will not be caught by complete surprise when He does come...

1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep...

Right. That is very clear at this point. John 11:35 Jesus wept. He probably thinks this says "Jesus laughed".

The content of the letter indicates no such thing. Not even close. Ephesians 2:11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— Can you see here where Paul...

Yes, you did. You said "The only sudden destruction when Jesus Returns, will be the armies at Armageddon". Did you forget what you said? The kingdom of Jesus and kingdom of God are the same thing. When He returns, He will deliver His kingdom, which is the kingdom of God, to the Father. The...

Paul referenced that small fold to prove that God had not cast away and reject the Israelites that He foreknew. So, the size of the fold does not matter. I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did...

It's okay. I know that you don't understand that Jesus first brought the gospel to His first fold, the Jews, with those who believe being the sheep in His first fold. And that it was not yet revealed that He had another fold that would also become His sheep which are the Gentile believers that...

Don't blame me that you come across as if you don't think anything is physical. You need to grow up and stop acting as if the physical destruction of the temple buildings never happened in 70 AD and stop acting as if the Bible would never prophesy about that. Anyone who denies that Satan is an...

You are being dishonest here by acting as if "Messiah the Prince" in verse 25 is translated from one word, nagid, but it is not. It is translated from the words māšîaḥ (Messiah) and nagid (prince).

He is apparently a figment of his own imagination like the physical temple buildings that stood in Jerusalem until 70 AD. I guess he never feels any physical pain and never gets physically sick. What a life.

You think this passage is only referring to physical Israel? Did you actually read the passage? What does it mean when it says "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel"?
