Jesus' statement has escaped many. Consider what was also going on (other than what you have believed): Jesus confirmed who He was and how Peter arrived at the answer to His question. Then he in turn confirmed who Peter was, saying "You are Peter." But what was Peter's name before? Not...

Careful not to miss the point. "Idols" by definition refers to things "of nought, good for nothing, worthless." Consider that God has created man--even the Son of man, from the same elements He referred to as being "emptiness, void, waste", as a mere "image" of God. Thus, if one were to ask...

Kudos to you for your endeavors on this topic! It is written that before the end of this would be world and reality, "in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets." Revelation 10:7...

I'm not sure I follow what you have laid out there. But I do follow "first to the Jew, then to the Greek (gentile)" and "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual."

Indeed, we gentiles are no better than Israel. They had the evidence of more obvious miracles, but we have more information and confirmation of what was and is to come--"first the natural and afterward the spiritual." But like you say, many still look for an earthly temple, a worldly kingdom...

Yeah--we're going to p-a-r-t-y! (The wife is making goulash) :vgood:

Indeed! I am no expert in constitutional law, but removing someone for the ballot seems unconstitutional. I think we're just waiting for the big top circus to come down, where the accusers become the condemned. The rats are just jumping into the trap.

Davy is not one to reason, but perhaps you are. By the same logic Jesus on the cross would be a failure. But no, to the contrary, His reign is not of this world in the ways of this world, but is unseen, not seen. Of the 6000 years and the 1000 years, according to the measure given in the...

Paul, many times, taught on 3 levels, appealing (1) to the unsaved and to new babes in Christ, (2) to the more mature, and (3) also included perhaps even often spiritual insights not visible to many. And Paul wasn't the only one who taught this way. On the first level, there is a message that...

Indeed, Jesus came "but for the house of Israel", finished and said "It is finished"; and then referred to "another fold" which He "must also bring"--not a remnant of Israel, but "another" house entirely. Then began "the times of the gentiles."

Aaaah... He simply said, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And it is also written, "the government will be upon His shoulder."

Yes...the statements made are not made by me, but made by the Word of God of the Word of God, and only quoted by me. The stretch, if it is to be considered a stretch, is a stretch made by Him.

This is true...but do consider that it all comes under the form of parables, told and only explained to some, and only to all in spirit. Such is "every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." Psalm 78 Give ear, O my people, to my law; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open...

His "strength is made perfect in weakness"--not Buddhist or Muslim weakness, but Christian weakness. We are the chosen, a light unto the gentiles (nations). But do not misunderstand those of other nations or even religions. God is good, and has made allowances for all according to His own...

And you are entitled to your assessment as well...not unexpected. But you should reread what I wrote--I was not speaking of "Which is greater?" referring to my own testimony--but quoting the scriptures. You're a good man, but what did you think the finish of the mystery of God as He declared to...

You too are missing the point. John 3:11 Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. I have been speaking the words of scripture the whole time: "Which is greater" (a point and test to understanding given to us by...

You're missing the point. When was the commandment given? It was given thousands of years before the fulfillment of the foretold first creation week which was a foreshadowing of what was to come at the end of the ages (when the foretold "finish" is to come). The point being, humanity would need...

Sounds like secession from the USA.

"Remembering" is not the commandment, but simply a reminder to "keep" the Sabbath...which is the actual commandment. "Remember to keep" it. "Keep" being the operative word. Thus, you are under the wrong impression regarding the Sabbath. Are there worldly benefits to having a day of rest every...
