I strongly believe that scripture is to be read clearly and plainly and any verse that seems unclear must be considered in relation to all other verses regarding the same subject matter. I'll also go so far as to say that any new teaching is very suspect for precisely the reason that it IS...

I believe I've already answered these posts. Was waiting on the Noahic Commandments and how they do not apply to all of humanity (according to you). However, this conversation has to stop. Too many flaws within a subject that is not soteriological and so does not interest me. I appreciate all...

This interpretation of Revelation is not accepted by all denominations. No concensus... No theological value. One could make of this as they please..... You've answered my question in my previous post. Problem is: I don't believe in the tribulation the same way you do.... No rapture. The...

So in the future KIngodom, which is what I believe you're speaking of.... only Jews will be there? You said THEY were promised the earthly Kingdom (future). Then you say it WOULD HAVE been given to them.... so now God is going to break His promise and give it to the Gentiles after all? (it has...

Did Jesus teach something different than the Noahic Commandments? This is what I stated in post no. 641: As to the commandments to Noah... Could you please post them and then explain why they do NOT apply to us? Did Jesus teach something different? IOW,,,God always taught all mankind the...

I don't believe in OSAS.

Very good thread. Let's see where it goes! I'm a firm believer that scripture CANNOT have any conflict...if it does then the NT become untrustworthy and we would not be able to abide by it. Every single verse is correct and reflects what Jesus taught. The problem, as I see it, is that it's...

Could you reply to my post no. 631? This dispensationalism makes it sound like God keeps trying different methods... maybe doesn't like one or maybe changes His mind... and then tries something else. As to the commandments to Noah... Could you please post them and then explain why they do NOT...

There are some verses in Hebrews that ARE specifically for the Hebrews, which is why I never use them in the OSAS discussions. However, I'd say that the rest of Hebrews is for everyone that is in the New Covenant and anyone can be in the New Covenant.

By KINGDOM ON EARTH you mean some future kingdom that comes about at the end of the world. All Christians believe in this...some call it the New Jerusalem. What I'M speaking about is the Kingdom of God right here right now. If you don't believe Jesus meant to establish a better world by...

So why did Jesus say to repent? Are we supposed to repent NOW for something that is going to happen in the far future? AT HAND means it is imminent. In fact, from that time, Jesus began to preach. Matthew 4:17 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven...

It's a better translation to you Doug, because you believe in dispensatinalism. What is interesting is that when the KJV was printed the ideology of dispensationalism did not even exist. It did not exist until 1830. This alone gives me pause as to its verocity. I do not trust any doctrine that...

Dividing what Jesus taught from what Paul taught is dividing the church built upon the foundation which is Christ and doing exactly what both Paul and Jesus did NOT want. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Paul 10I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that...

Hi Lambano.... Been watching different videos on YouTube re dispensationalism. I've watched the below linked and I see now what you mean about how Israel MUST believed to be right, under all circumstances, in order for dispensationalism to be correct. He's also addressing the promises made to...

Men's way doesn't work. The New Atheists have convnced many of our young that God does not exist. They've left a couple of generations with no God and nothing to replace Him! They promised that God could be replaced with different idealogy, but He cannot. So we have a couple of generations that...

You said the Kingdom of God is WITHIN the sheep. I think we agree. It IS a spiritual kingdom. But if we all followed Jesus and believed in this SPIRITUAL Kingdom,,, wouldn't it also make our life on earth a better life? Isn't this what Jesus wanted to accomplish? (besides the atonement). I...

Is there a Kingdom of God here right now?

OK on paragraph 2. Re the Kingdom Paul preached...it's the same as the Kingdom preached by Jesus. Instead of going through scripture (which is what usually do)...I'll link the attached instead. Why? Because I'm not certain we're speaking of the same Kingdom...it seemed as though we were... not...

Agreed. Israel was called God's son. Physical descendants means nothing to God. I believe I stated this in a previous post to you or maybe another member. Only believers will inherit the Kingdom of heaven. And we are justified by believing the gospel.

Good we agree on this. Except that Jesus fulfills the Kingdom of David but in a spiritual sense. Re the thousand years reign...it's from Revelation and I've said I do not know about eschatology and do not wish to begin learning about something that is not understood to be the same by mianline...
