I'm sorry...you're going to have to provide scripture. The remnant is referring to those that will always believe in God through any kind of tribulation (I don't mean end times tribulation). For instance...there was always a remnant of Jews that survived the exiles and kept their faith in the...

Do you dance? wear expensive clothing? allow your wife to wear make-up? watch movies? EVER tell a lie? admire some woman in a physical sense? speak about another person negatively? wish you had your neighbor's new car? If you've done any ONE of these,,,I'd be careful if I were you. James 2:10...

Berean... Some take the story in Luke 15 about Lazarus and the Rich Man to be literal and some understand it to be a parable. By "they" I mean theologians. Those that take it to be literal take not of the fact that Jesus used the actual name of a person...He does not do this in any other...

LOL I didn't really understand the OP and was just replying to a poster. However, I have noticed that the OP has disappeared. You also didn't like a thread of mine for lack of a thesis. How could an OP NOT have a thesis? It's someone making a statement (an idea) to which we can add, agree...

So WE Gentiles are not to forgive? Ditto. Oh for goodness sake Doug... Do you not know the meaning of the parable of the Rich man? Just learn it, it's easy. Hint: We all have something we hate leaving behind. Jesus DID say to count the cost if we want to follow Him. This is a personal...

I hear every word that comes out of the mouth of God. It is for ME. I apply it to my life to the best of my ability. I don't believe God will say: You did good not to obey Jesus --- that was only for Israel.

So you're saying that we do not have to obey jesus. Basically, this is what you're stating.

This convo will have to end Doug. You are not open to what the NT teaches and we are beginning to repeat.

I agree.

I agree.

Ok they only brought the woman. Again....why didn't Jesus just have her stoned to death?

ALL of what Jesus commanded are for everyone... more than even the 10 commandments. We should try to keep them all. The Sabbath? Jesus is our Sabbath. Did JESUS keep the Sabbath??? Then neither are we required to.

Jesus spoke clearly. He didn't go throughout all of Israel so that He would NOT be understood. I'm not getting into discussing parables and why He used them and what He meant by the statement that some were not meant for them. Perhaps Jesus wants those who hear Him to put their thinking caps...

Apparently,l according to YOU, the plan you state above failed miserably since the Jews did not accept Jesus as their Messiah. So...according to YOU...no one to lead the Gentiles in the "Kingdom" to the Lord. Bad theology Doug. Leave it behind.

I've offered scripture... you don't accept it.

Not going to discuss the travels of the Apostles. Peter was in Rome. If you don't care to believe it - fine. I'll tell you what there is NO scholarly debate about: JESUS' TEACHINGS to all of His followers.... ALL.

Paul and the Apostles taught the same. Whatever Jesus says to do...He means it for every one of His followers. Except, as I've stated, what was specific to the Apostles. FORGIVENESS OF SINS EXCORSISM BAPTIZING

Paul knew nothing more that the Apostles. But he developed Christian theology. He gave a reason to the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus always knew He would die on the cross... the Apostles could not believe it until they witnessed it. Paul came after the cross and so had no problem believing...

It's the same Jesus... whether or not He had died yet. Don't you believe the OT believers were saved by the blood of Jesus? Jesus died for everyone - past, present and future believers.

Understood. This would be like Calvinists insisting that the Penal Substitution Theory is correct, and only that one. I like the Cristus Victor theory... also the Moral Influence Theory The Ransome theory are my favorite but I also can accept the Satisfaction Theory... IOW a just God had to...
