All those wonderful OT promises and prophecies to Israel were fulfilled in the gospel. I don't think there is any question about that, since that is WHY those scriptures were quoted in the NT saying "this is that" which was prophesied or promised. Jesus DID raise up David's fallen tabernacle...

It's very interesting that Premillennial Dispensationalism has given rise to the same ideas about Israel after the flesh today. Many Christians idolize Israel and all things Jewish, and even have fallen from grace into Law keeping....they're unfortunately ripe for what is coming. Earthly...

Yes, we obtain salvation and also keep it by faith. And if we are walking by faith (ie, the spirit) we will not knowingly and deliberately sin...we'll resist temptation if it comes our way. That's all people are saying. I think you're assuming they are talking about establishing our own...

There are so many verses in the book of Hebrews that show it is addressing BELIEVING Jews. Can't remember if I already posted this somewhere, but in any case doesn't hurt to post it again: Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High...

Clearly you yourself shouldn't vote, since it would go against your conscience. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Politics to me is just a practical matter having to do with the practicalities of life in this world....one can cast their vote and ask God to be merciful to one's country by...

In that case why don't you yourself promote and preach and encourage holiness in the Body of Christ? Certainly Jesus did. And the apostles. How would you go about that?

Voting is just a practical issue, in my opinion. Not a sin issue in itself. You're just hiring people to administrate the practical affairs of the country, just like you would do your best to hire competent managers if you were responsible or partly responsible for running a large business...

Judgment, chastisement....I assume. The bible says it's the Lord who raises and lowers kings and kingdoms. I don't think that means we are to sit by and do nothing to prevent oppression, or help when people are suffering though. If we know to do good (practical ways), and don't do it, to us...

Regarding the prodigal son, the scripture says this: Luk 15:24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. But the Lord knows the end from the beginning, so from heaven's vantage point the Father would have foreknown the prodigal would...

Whichever the case, we need to humble ourselves under His mighty hand and keep trusting Him. When we seek His righteousness the Lord answers according to His wisdom as He sees fit and as He knows we need.

I'm sure all believers would agree in principle, but we aren't going to see that in this fallen world. Not even churches get it right and I wouldn't want government in their hands either. In truth, Christian churches would probably be worse than the world.....that has already been attempted...

The political system seemed to be working well enough for a long time. So what's different now? The difference is God isn't blessing the west any more. That's it. Period, end of story. How would changing the political system bring about God's blessing again? It can't. So why isn't God...

Only the saved are able to attend the wedding feast. Sadly not those who reject Jesus and are still in their sins. Catholicism has faith/trust in church and sacraments INSTEAD OF IN CHRIST. It preaches church and sacraments INSTEAD OF CHRIST. It seeks to make converts to church and...

As I said you need ears As the scriptures say, you need ears to hear what the Spirit is saying....you need the Spirit to understand what the Spirit is saying. Catholicism is forever justifying why she violates the commands of God and Christ. Just like the serpent at the Tree. "Hath God...

You're missing the point and need ears to hear, which can only be given by the Holy Spirit to those who have truly received Jesus and His Spirit. Do you see any capitals in those reference to fathers or fathers you yourself brought? The point is that nobody is to give or receive TITLES in the...

Yes, it's interesting how closely Roman Catholicism resembles old covenant Judaism, in many ways. They have a lot in common. I think followers of Christ might need be to be alert and take note, concerning prophecy.

Jesus is the one who said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Yes, purity of devotion, the simplicity of Christ...not sullied by the ways of flesh and the world which the serpent so subtly tries to get us to fall into and has succeeded in large measure. It costs us everything to follow...

It's the difference between flesh and spirit. The simplicity of Christ or the hardened-in-cement way of the flesh and world. Anyone can quote scriptures all the day long and not have the mind of Christ by His SPIRIT to perceive how He means them. 1Co 2:10-16 But God hath revealed them unto...

Actually I didn't start to grow in any significant way until I left the churches because they're pretty much all doing things wrong, such that people can't really grow. They've continued with the Catholic model in a way....but no wonder because really it's the way of the flesh and we'd fall...

The Lord Himself gives various gifts to all the members of His Body, and some are gifted by the Spirit to care for, feed and oversee others. But as Jesus taught, we are to neither give or receive TITLES in His Body, "for we have one Father/Teacher/Master in heaven". Titles and the prestige...
