Paul is steeped in the Hebrew Bible. He is speaking about the promise God made to Abraham (Genesis 12), to the Messiah, and to all who belong to the Messiah. When God promises us something it isn’t necessary to repeat the details of what is promised every time the promise is mentioned or...

Why are you asking? It’s a reasonable question, and one that I would expect a newbie to ask. Are you telling me that the idea of ”spiritual Israel” is a concept that you don’t see in scripture? Are you telling me that it means nothing whatsoever to you?

* Book stores are a mixture of good and evil. The Bible Story is what people truly need in their lives. * Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read critically. Above all else, read the Bible story. (And still some joker will ask me: “Have you ever read the Bible?” It’s as certain as...

There is only one gospel. When someone says that there is more than one then the preachers of one are pitted against the preachers of the other. Jesus and the apostles are teaching one audience, with one gospel -> that audience is mankind. The wall that separated the Jew from the Gentile has...

Newbies should be taught and come to understand that the Israel of God is the new Israel, the spiritual Israel as opposed to the physical Israel, the ideal Israel, the body of the Messiah.

The land mustn’t be removed from the promise God made to Abraham and to his seed. We will have it when the Messiah returns and sits on David’s throne in Jerusalem. There is no kingdom of God without the promised land, the entire earth. The blessing of Abraham will be seen in the coming kingdom...

* The KGB bartender has seen this all before. There’s a teeny-tiny gun that ain’t no joke concealed in his drying towel. *

* It’s critically important to understand when someone is speaking literally and when they are speaking figuratively, as Harold is about to learn the hard way.

* Who’s the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about? *

Newbies who read and believe this are in trouble. This constant pitting of Paul against Peter (and all of the other apostles, as well as against the preaching of the Messiah) is a calamity.

“Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5) Who, I would ask newbies to consider, is Jesus referring to here?

Yes. The land is promised to Abraham and to his seed (Genesis 12:7). As you know, Paul tells us (Galatians 3:16) that the Messiah is the seed of Abraham and that those who belong to Messiah are heirs according to the promise made to Abraham (Galatians 3:29). Paul tells us (Romans 11) that...
