    Come on, seriously? If there are no other gods then why would it be one of the Ten Commandments? Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

    Jesus got the Matthew 28:18 power after the cross, not before the cross. 1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art...

    Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. The 4th kingdom at that point was under the authority of Jesus.

    Ok, let’s take a look at that idea. We would then be commanded to let the tares grow among us, right? Wouldn’t believers who fought against Hitler have been willfully disobedient to God?

    The parable is about the end of the old covenant age which didn’t vanish until 70AD. In Acts 15 it seemed good to the Holy Spirit to have different burdens for Gentiles than the Jews. The old covenant wasn’t valid after the cross but it didn’t vanish until that generation ended.

    Right, the unbelieving Jews were sown by Satan and the believing Jews were sown by Jesus. That all took place prior to the cross and the Gentiles being grafted in.

    Matthew 15:24 takes place prior to the Gentiles being grafted in.

    What I mean by “house of Israel” is what Jesus Himself meant. In Matthew 15:21-28 it is a Canaanite woman, who describes herself as a dog that eats the crumbs from the table, that Jesus says it is not meet to take the children’s bread. The children can’t be Gentiles in this case. I would say a...

    2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Who do you suppose the god of this world is?

    Alright, in Matthew 13:37 the word “sowing” <4687> is a present tense verb, so we know the Son of man was sowing when He spoke those words. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Would you agree that the sowing took place in the...

    Let’s take a closer look at that idea and compare it with Matthew 4:9 where Satan offers Jesus the kingdoms of the world if Jesus will bow down. First off, do you think the Son of man sows in Satans kingdom or the kingdom of heaven? I realize the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of...

    I looked at that article and here are my thoughts on it. That article basically has the tares as unbelievers in the church who claim they are saved. If we are to accept that interpretation then we have to also accept that a church shouldn’t excommunicate a person who is found out to be a tare...

    Yes, I think the main offense was not believing Jesus was the Messiah but denying they believed when they really did believe is just as bad.

    I’ll tell what I’m going do, this is a one time limited offer that’s just too good to pass up. I’ll let you try the Preterist view for free for 30 days. And if after 30 days, for any reason, you decide you no longer like the Preterist view you can cancel and keep any unused portion as our gift...

    1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. I’m not here to claim I know what shall be, I’ll leave that up to the futurist.

    I most certainly do think the new covenant started the moment Christ was resurrected, but just because the new covenant started doesn’t mean the old covenant vanished. I agree with Hebrews 8:13 which clearly states the first covenant was made old and was ready to vanish away when the book of...

    1 Corinthians 15:46 (NIV) The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The physical kingdom has already happened we are now in the spiritual kingdom. We are not going backwards to a physical kingdom again. There are interpretations where we don’t have to...

    Can we take a look at John 3:1-5? In John 3:3 it says a man can’t see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Then in John 3:5 is says unless a man be born of water and spirit he can’t enter the kingdom of God. From looking at the commentaries on this it appears to me that John 3:3 says a...

    The word “world” in Matthew 13:38 is <2889> which is the cosmos. The word “world” in Matthew 13:40 is <165> which means an age. The field is the cosmos, the angels come at the end of the age. The old covenant age ended or vanished in 70AD. The current age we are in is the new covenant age. In...

    I have come to the heavenly Jerusalem which is in the kingdom of heaven. There currently is no one physical location where it exists in its entirety. Your question is kind of like asking where God is. I hope you have come to the heavenly Jerusalem. If you have, you can answer your own question.
