Acts 2:44 "Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common," Just as the spirit being poured out at Pentecost was only an image or small example of the fulfillment of the greater prophecy by Joel, so too was that act of one accord spoken of here. Both were an image and a...

Again...you are speaking against Christ, who said: Matthew 15:24 "But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” You are mixing what is written of " two nations" with what is written of "two folds." Jesus came only for the house of Israel, which...

It is not the gospel that was/is different; but rather, it is the two folds that He must bring that are different.

Christ is the true bread come down from heaven. As such..."Now is the day of salvation." Today.

All the best...but do remember--it is not you/us who fulfill, but rather Him in us. Sometimes that means doing nothing we can call our own, that He might do all in us.

Ah, I think I am beginning to understand the dilemma. Just to get the works thing out of the way first... Works simply cannot be the measure of obedience or dedication to the Lord, from an observation standpoint. As such, it does not help in considering this issue. As for emptying out the...

Verse 13 doesn't say "up" the mountain, but "near" the mountain.

Ugh! This entire matter is the result of men not perceiving the things of God as being "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Which truth, if actually believed and taken literally, makes time the illusion that science finds agreeable, but likewise unacceptable, to their own dismay. Believe...

You bring up a good point about "praying without ceasing." I remember at first finding myself thinking and saying "we" instead of "I" when talking about this and that; and I was concerned at first, like it might appear to be something akin to schizophrenia, and had to stop myself and say...

Well...as I said, not necessarily, because such works can also be counterfeit rather than genuine. But if there is another question you have been leading up to, let's address it: The answer (as you have in bold) is "whole" or completely. As I said before, that would be "without reservation."...

You don't have to be happy that they don't know any better...it's not a contest of what they know or have correct or have completely wrong. Step out, do it for God, and look for Him to respond favorably and to guide you, rather than the other people. It's like kids...just love 'em, and do your...

Again, what is manifest in the world, only represents that which is on high.

I too do not disagree with you as well. However, what is manifest is manifest, and what heavenly things are a manifestation of is not the things of this world, nor our fight here, for we fight not against flesh and blood...nor against that which can kill the [natural] body. So, it is good to...

All good. Just so we recognize that Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit. Matthew 3:11

That does not describe a "changed" person having Christ in them. Thus, that is not actually one with a contrite heart.

Post #48 > No, not necessarily. Those can all be counterfeit works, as opposed to genuine. We must first be abandoned to all such activities, showing first that we have surrendered all, having died to our former self and the ways of the world--which works is no evidence of. Thus, if works can...

That end is not the end of the world as it is perceived to mean, or even the end of our natural body, but rather the end of the old man. If it is no longer you who lives, but Christ who lives in you--that is the end, all things have become new (in Christ). It is true that some never see the end...

A person can know they are saved because they are changed. "Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." This is "the mystery" which Paul declared: which is "Christ in you", the receiving and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Not just sealed, not just promised, not just in...

Indeed, and the most detestable are those who are content to make a home of the wilderness with all manner of wilderness ministries, forgetting to focus on the promise.

It is important to know of what time in history that those things were spoken: It was the time of reformation among the Christian church, and of escaping both forms of religious tyranny. Nonetheless, each signed according to their faith in God, those things "endowed by their Creator."
