Immeasurably more stupid is the claim that the New Covenant "has not gone in to effect yet". It is far worse than stupid. It is spiritual blasphemy and depravity. The Lord's Supper is all about the New Covenant. Do you partake of the Lord's Supper?

But we know that only faith and obedience, not association, are the criteria by which God identifies His Chosen People. Some "associates" will come to God in faith and obedience. Most will not.

Peter addressed his letter to Christians in the diaspora (elect strangers, 1 Peter 1:1-2). 1 Peter 2:9 is descriptive of all who are in Christ, i.e. His Church, irrespective of genetics, cultures, customs, et al. They have always been and will always be a remnant, true believers who will...

Apparently you don't believe that God had the ability to preserve His True Church through all of its tribulations. So you embrace the fantasy and fallacy spawned in Romanist apostasy.

The Blood that Jesus shed is the Blood of His New Covenant. To deny His New Covenant is therefore to also deny His Blood. I hope you don't partake of the Lord's Supper, because the consequences of doing so while denying His New Covenant and His Blood are clear in Scripture. (1 Corinthians...

So you think that when God sent Jonah to preach to the Ninevites, their repentance was illegitimate because they were Gentiles living in their own land of Assyria. You admit that God was in Old Covenant relationship with faithful obedient Jews and Gentiles within the OT nation of Israel, but...

Yes, faith and obedience. Absolutely. With all external criteria irrelevant, faith and obedience are God's only determinants. Only a remnant manifests them. (Romans 9:27; Romans 11:5) As they do, they are added to the holy nation of the Church. (1 Peter 2:9) Absolutely.

But genetics and culture are not what Romans 2:28-29 says identifies a Jew to God. God has never favored anyone based on genetics or culture. The characteristics in Romans 2:29 are the results of faith and obedience. Nothing else. Dispensationalism's attempts to racialize God and His Word...

How does God identify a Jew? 1. DNA 2. Religion 3. Culture 4. Domicile 5. ? Keeping in mind: Romans 2 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart...

Provide a verbatim quote and link to any post in which I've claimed that the church is Israel.

Dispensational futurism (df) obviously doesn't consider its futurism, spawned in the Jesuit counterfeit counter-reformation of Romanism's apostasized papacy, to be bondage. God has always preserved His True Church, df's denial notwithstanding. I'll opt for seventeen centuries of prophetic...

You ignore the fact that Israel from its birth was comprised of both Jews and Gentiles: Genesis 17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed...

Hi Marilyn, Daniel's beasts are historical. This is affirmed by most recognized Christian exegetes before the 19th century. Under the Old Covenant, only the high priest alone could enter behind the veil to make annual reconciliation for the sins of the people. Christ fulfilled and satisfied...

There is no Scripture saying that Rome would do anything to the Babylonians or Medo-Persians. Scripture? Christ could not enter behind the veil unless He was already High Priest. Christ could not make reconciliation for sins unless He was already High Priest.

It certainly was Rome. That is a graphic description of the way in which the Roman Empire conquered and annihilated all of its adversaries during the centuries of its domination. Yes, and it was only as High Priest already that He could have entered the inner part behind the veil. Thanks for...

Daniel 7:7 says nothing about Rome treading down other beasts. It simply says that it was diverse from the beasts which were before it, which it was. Hebrews 8:4 NASB Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; AMPC...

Nothing in Daniel 7 specifies that Rome would trod down Babylon or the Medo-Persians. We know from history that it conquered Greece, as well as various kingdoms during the time of the Roman Empire. Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he...

Is there a problem with how I worded the challenge? If what you are espousing is Scriptural, then there must be at least one exegete who, over the 17 centuries of Church history, meets the criteria that I listed. Who is it? Show me how Jeremiah 31:31-34 disproves the Scriptures that I've...

Jesus was Commander-In-Chief of the Roman armies which inflicted desolation upon Jerusalem and Judea all the way to the "Consummation" of their complete destruction and annihilation. Do you think that Jesus was a bad guy?

Ancient Greece "Following the Classical period was the Hellenistic period (323–146 BC), during which Greek culture and power expanded into the Near and Middle East from the death of Alexander until the Roman conquest. Roman Greece is usually counted from the Roman victory over the Corinthians...
