No offense Episkopos but that recommendation should come from the site administration, which in such case I would discontinue posting Dispensation materials. If I see material that I dislike enough, I wouldn't read it and just leave it to the one posting. It's new material that U believe needs...

Are Christians Under Any "New Covenant"? The subject of Israel's New Covenant, and the erroneous notion of its relationship to the New Creation Christian and the Body of Christ--the Church, remains a hot topic in dispensational circles. Like the doctrine of the Fall, the subject of the "New...

Not to seem opositional but my entire post is nothing but the cross of Christ. It should be understandable that every time condemnation is the subject, the Cross is the primary cause, as Paul in Ro 8:3 wrote of God condemning sin but did not need to mention His Cross. There can be no...

Epikopos wrote,"The whole logic behind this seeks to separate what God has joined together in ONE Lord": I believe we are joined with Christian Jews, individual Isrealites who believe in Christ but as a nation, Israel and the Gentiles will be joined during the Millinnium per Eze 36:27. We will...

What I meant by "The Jew isn't suppose to be under the Law " is that they no longer are suppose to be under the Law because they're suppose to be under Christ. They will not be in Christ until the Lord and the Church teaches them during the Millinnium. "And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say...

"Self is the believer's indwelling enemy": Here, the writer referres to "self" as the old self, not the new self which Paul calls the "I" in "it is no more I that do it" (Ro 7:17). But the Lord says, 'No, it is not circumstances, not conditions, at all; it is you.'": The writer doesn't mean the...

I agree Veteran with the above post. Those who believe that sin can ever be justified is ignorant of God's word, that God through His Son "condemned sin" (Ro 8:3) which means it's never justifiable. I believe that our personal sins are what God forgives (1 Jhn 1:9) but not sin itself. It has...

I believe the nature of a person is what determins what they are. Definition of nature: "The essential characteristics and qualities of a person." This is why we also are now "partakers of the divine nature" (2Pe 1:4) more than the sinful nature. In theology dualism is the concept that humans...

I would like to see Scripture support for this: "The saints will learn to rule over those who had received the mark of the beast." "There is no more possible attainment to sainthood during the millenium." Scripture shows no other time of Israel receiving the Abrahamic promises than during the...

Hi Epikopos. Can I know what you mean by "change the rules "? I believe we will be judging and teaching Israel during our thousand year rule with Christ. "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them. . . and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years"...

I believe Romans 9 is Paul telling the Jews that they should enter salvation the way the Gentiles do, by faith and not by works. They will eventualy do so, during the Millinnium, but it will be a faith in Christ by sight, unlike the Gentiles who "believe without seeing" (Jhn 20:29), for Israel...

Shirely, I always thank God for you and others who fellowship in Christ ans like sharing in the Word with one another. Thanks for comments and letting me know you find the teaching material useful! See you here, there or in the air!!

We can never use our condition, regardless of how good and pure it may seem to us at times, as a reference for God to determine our position in Him. We must use what He uses to determine our status with Him and that is His Son, our Lord (Col 3:3). It has been well said that “when we are...

Veteran, I'm just one who doesn't believe that Christian Gentiles are spiritual Jews. Many misinterpret Romans 2, esp. verse 26. " Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision"? The phrase "counted for circumcision"...

ISRAEL'S NEW COVENANT Miles J. Stanford We must stop here and stanch the flow of Covenant theology that is flooding onto Dispensational ground--beginning with the primary effusion, Israel's New Covenant. All traditional Dispensationalists believe and teach that...

HAND HEWN "Hearken unto Me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord; look unto the rock from which ye are hewn" (Isaiah 51:1). If we care for His glory, we will want to serve. If we care for others, we will want to be well prepared for that service. And that care will enable...

INTERNAL PRIORITY "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). Beware! The world, both secular and religious, is seeking to destroy your individuality by conforming you to the mass of faceless ones. But our heritage and destiny in the Lord Jesus Christ is to be conformed to His...

Thanks Epikopos for letting me know what you meant by "our own". I believe we are on the same page that salvation is only through Christ. I also believe that since we cannot save ouselves, we cannot keep ourselves saved, that's our Father's part. (Jhn 10:29). If someone claims to be Christian...

HIS HUNGER "Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!" (Psalm 107:8). Our Father gave us the hunger to be justified (John 6:44), and He gave us the hunger to be sanctified (Philippians 3:10). This same principle applies to our...

"We are made PARTAKERS with Christ through our own conforming to His death." Episkopos, this statement is accurate accept for one word--"own". The most humbling thing is to realize is that there's nothing we can do, nor are we required to do anything of ourselves(other than receive), that can...
