    THE KINGDOM TABLE

    Mat. 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The kingdom of God...

    (Gen. 9:24-27) Prophecy: Shem, Ham, and Japheth

    This prophecy is for the next age...that these 3 kinds of people...the saints, the righteous and the outcasts will populate the new Earth in the next age. So the prophetic things tend to repeat over and over in type. What this is not is a racist formula for this age. No...they are the saints...

    There is no grace gospel. That is an invented gospel that Paul condemns as "another gospel." It is the gospel of the kingdom ACCORDING to the power of God (grace) that is the true gospel.

    Please explain this.

    HIS believing God was because God said so. God also foresaw that he would indeed obey the Lord in the sacrificing of his only son. God can do that...foresee things. But the angels could not foresee what Abraham would do for they declared... Gen. 22:12 And He (the angel) said, “Do not lay your...

    The Fear of the Lord

    A Book of Remembrance Mal. 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name. 17 “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Eccl. 7: 16 Do not be overly righteous, Nor be overly wise: Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Do not be overly wicked, Nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time? 18 It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Psalm 115:13 13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, Both small and great. Ps. 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, 19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. John 10: 28 And I give unto them eternal life...

    Led by the Spirit

    Jer. 31:33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the LORD, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. This is what the bible says about the New Covenant. It...

    The Fear of the Lord

    What does that mean? No one is finally saved until the end of their time...their race. So are you speaking of a religious salvation status? You know this doesn't exist but in the minds of religious men. Salvation right now is to enter into Christ. It is freely given to they who surrender...

    The Fear of the Lord

    Thank you faithfulness. If even Jesus feared the Lord...what does that say about us? Jesus fulfilled ALL righteousness...in that He submitted to a baptism in His humanity...but He also feared in His humanity. Even Jesus. Why? To fulfill all righteousness. The standard of righteousness is to...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    Entering into Christ is by faith acting in love. And this is because He first loved us. You may just have an obsession with the law of Moses.

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    We are approved to enter into salvation right now. To walk by grace....His strength...and not our own. The works that are done from that place are for rewards on judgment day. But to wait for judgment day for salvation is a mistake for believers. We have to bear fruit now. How? By walking with...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    This is a doctrinal mish-mash... Sin is sin. All that is not of faith is sin. So then it's just a question of the levels of sin...UNTIL one abides in Christ where there is no sin. When a person says...I am or I will...so much there is always sin involved. This is about grace through faith...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    Brother, we have access to more grace than other people...so then we will also be judged against that. That's the righteous way. It would be like someone with medical skills who comes upon a wounded person but doesn't use those skills to help out. We have received the Spirit within...and this...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    The opposite is true... The Holy Spirit makes us MORE accountable for sins. We are more responsible for what we do because we are under grace. Grace is a higher walk but a higher responsibility as well.

    Please explain this.

    This is an error to think like that. It's the "lover's" mistake of putting intimacy above purity. Putting shalem above tamim. God will not go easier on someone if they have an intimate relationship with Him. That's a wrong view. God is righteous...and we reap as we have sown. So then WE...

    Is Dispensationalism a valid way to interpret scripture?

    Seek to enter into Christ in order to partake of His grace which is the exceeding power of God us-ward who believe. In HIM is no sin. Take your eyes off yourself and people and look to the Lord. That is where His strength comes from.

    More liberal dictatorship.

    The truth is "stranger" than fiction. Compare what you said to the OP. There is a ring of truth there.

    Please explain this.

    I mean the works that have been prepared in advance that we should walk in them. If we walk In Christ or even are just led by the Spirit we are guided into the same kind of works that Jesus did. He modeled them first...and then allows us to partake of these same works so that we can be...

    More liberal dictatorship.

    The OT was for a entire people... a nation that walked according to the flesh. It included the wicked, the liars the cheats...hence the need for laws like that. Are you as one of those? Are you still under the law? Do you need laws to keep your flesh under control? The role of a Christian is to...
