I'm not into playing games like that. Where are you getting this from? Not from scripture, that's for sure. It's quite clear that you haven't ever really studied Romans 11 very closely. Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6...

That's something you're making up in your imagination and is not taught in scripture anywhere. Nowhere does it says we're only fellowheirs of some of the promises. You are making scripture say whatever you want it to say. Boy, if you lie about me one more time I'm getting you banned from here...

Take it easy. I am not saying anyone needs to be called "Rabbi" or "Teacher". I'm well aware of this verse. Never did I say anyone needed to be called "Rabbi" or "Teacher". I'm simply showing that some are called to be teachers in the church and have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so...

Please do not just quote scripture to me with no commentary. I don't know what you are intending to say by quoting this verse and I'd rather not have to guess. You had said: And I replied by saying "He could if He wanted, but scripture doesn't teach that.". I was not saying God never makes...

And there is it, brethren, Davy's denial of clear scripture shines through again. Jesus was NOT crucified in Jerusalem as John 19:20 and Hebrews 13:12 explicitly teach. But, I guess those verses are not in your Bible. Wow. You are pathetic. Comparing me to atheists. Someone who worships the...

So, why do you want to believe that God's promises are for two different sets of people? Paul said the promises made to Abraham were to his seed, which is Christ (Gal 3:16) and those who belong to Christ (Galatians 3:29). That means God's promises to Abraham's apply to Jesus and His church...

Paul said Gentile believers are fellowheirs of those promises. Why don't you accept that? This was a mystery in OT times, but not anymore. Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is...

1 Corinthians 7:11 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; How do you think the gifts of "the word of wisdom" and "the word of knowledge" are supposed to be used?

Are you aware that there is more than one Jerusalem and more than one Mount Zion? Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,....22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the...

He could if He wanted, but scripture doesn't teach that. Again, Romans 11:26 does not start with "And then" or "And after that". Once the fullness of the Gentiles comes in then it will be true that all spiritual Israel will be saved. All who will ever be saved will have been saved once He...

Only to show the context of what he was talking about in 1st Corinthians 12. But, verses 28-31 are obviously in relation to the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Are you denying this obvious fact? 1 Corinthians 12:28 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28 And God has...

Outside the city of Jerusalem is not Jerusalem. Hello! This is common sense. The great city Babylon is not an earthly city, it is a spiritual city that is the spiritual opposite of the holy city, New Jerusalem. Earthly Jerusalem has never "reigned over the kings of the earth" (Rev 17:18)...

But, as in Paul's day, their blindness was not permanent. Paul made it very clear in Romans 11:11-14 that their blindness was not permanent and they still had the chance to be saved which is why Paul, in verse 14, indicated that he hoped to help "save some of them" who were blinded. It seems...

I don't want to spend too much time on this because it's off topic, but you are simply wrong about this. 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant....28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers...

Had what really happened? I referenced this passage: Acts 3:24 “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days. 25 And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples...

I don't care what term you use, but you do agree that some have the spiritual gift of teaching, right? I understand that the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, but that doesn't mean that none of us have the gift of teaching that we can use to teach others. Of course, it's not really us teaching them...

He has already poured out His Spirit on the children of Israel beginning on the day of Pentecost long ago. Peter recorded that 3,000 of them were saved and had His Spirit poured out on them that day alone. What is the reason you did not answer my questions or address any of my points? Do you...

No, it is present tense as of the time it was written. You didn't answer my questions, Doug. Why not? Please address what I said. I said that surely, "salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ" has already come! Do you think salvation has not yet come? Do...

Amen! Great post. One cannot hope to understand many of the OT prophecies without allowing the NT to shine light on them.

God's people today are those who belong to Christ. The church. Thinking that modern day Israel, most of whom reject Christ, are God's people is a huge mistake and is major deception brought about by Satan. Only those who belong to Christ are God's people, as NT scripture repeatedly indicates...
