    MY OVERVIEW OF THE BIBLE

    Bump for another go.

    The hidden things of God

    Not so! Gal 2:6-10 6 But from those who seemed to be something — whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man — for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me. 7 But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had...

    The hidden things of God

    Do you believe that a person's works will save that person? Do you believe that a person can be saved by their works plus their faith? A person can't trust in both what they do to earn salvation and in what Jesus did on the cross to purchase their salvation. That means they do not really...

    The hidden things of God

    1a. yes 2a. I believe that what Jesus taught was to the Jews, not the Gentiles. Jesus Christ, by His own words, did not come to minister to the Gentiles, nor was His message "the kingdom gospel" sent to the Gentiles. He did not offer the "kingdom of heaven" to the Gentiles. The following...

    Faith without works is dead

    These are your truths. I have my own. You want me to to stop resisting your truths and as I said you are blind to the truth. There is only one church under grace and that church is the church of His body. That is what Paul called it and so do I. --- Nowhere in the writings of the 12 is the...

    Faith without works is dead

    Jesus and the 12 were under the law. Jesus taught the law. Jesus never said the Jews were not under the law when he was teaching them. But Jesus gave Paul a gospel of grace that was HIDDEN IN GOD and revealed to him. Under this HIDDEN IN GOD gospel a person is not saved by keeping the law. But...

    Peter's sermon to the Jews

    You are like a ray of sunshine to me. I have been on forums for many years trying to get people to see what the scriptures actually say. For you to see what I have seen is wonderful. People like you make my efforts worthwhile. Thanks

    Faith without works is dead

    Sorry my definition does not meet with your approval but it is obvious that you wish to, as I said, add your works to it. By the way, your definition of abiding is one of superficial acquantance. Because I don't see you mentioning that the child of God is a part of the body of Christ and that...

    The hidden things of God

    Of course I believe that a child of God is baptized by the Holy Spirit. But it isn't with water. The 12 were to preach that Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah, their king, to the nation of Israel (Jews) first ---- then to the Gentiles. It is obvious to me that since they could not persuade...

    Peter's sermon to the Jews

    Thank you. But I fear that you will be in a minority on this forum.

    Peter's sermon to the Jews

    Peter's sermon on Pentecost: I believe that Peter's sermon has been taken out of context and used as a blanket sermon about repenting and being water baptized. This article is my attempt to prove that it has to be read “IN CONTEXT.“ (was it to the Jews, the Gentiles, or both?) (IMHO = In my...

    The hidden things of God

    So since the words 'and to all that are afar off' are the same they mean the same thing any any context. That certainly isn't the way you read and study the scriptures. Context determines the meaning. Peter was speaking to the Jews and Paul to the Gentiles. You really know how to stretch the...

    Faith without works is dead

    Just like you I have explained what abiding in Christ means to me but I will say it again. I won't dodge the question as you do. Abiding in Christ is keeping your belief, faith, trust and confidence in the work of Jesus (God) on the cross; in His shed blood that reconciles a person to God...

    Faith without works is dead

    Okay, then tell me what you mean when you say we are to abide in Christ? Paul was stoned and ridiculed by the religious Jewish believers for teaching the gospel of God's grace which said that those under grace are dead to the Law and that it was unnecessary for the Jews to be circumcised...

    The hidden things of God

    But do they say that the Gentiles would be saved outside of the Law of Moses simply by placing their belief, faith, trust, and confidence in the work of Jesus on the cross? If you think the fist 4 books of the N.T. teach the above then show the scriptures that say it. If not cast closed. I...

    Faith without works is dead

    Why do you preach what is written to the Jews under the law of Moses as if it was written to the Gentiles (James 1:1)? In this age of God's grace, shown in the gospel of grace given to Paul by Jesus, without faith in the work of Jesus (God) on the cross you will never enter heaven no mater how...

    The hidden things of God

    If you do not believe that the gospel given to Paul was "HIDDEN IN GOD" and revealed to paul then what do you do with the scriptures that tell us it was? Do you just trun a blind eye to it? Go even further and you will see scriptures that tell us that Paul was the first to be saved under his...

    A Common Error

    Just because the writer stuck the word new in front of it does not mean it is new for all time. It was new at the time it was given. God made a covenant with Noah. Then He made a NEW covenant of law with Moses. Jesus made a NEW covenant with the nation of Israel but the nation of Israel...

    The hidden things of God

    Your replys can be called spamming too since you use the same arguements. For your information I will never stop teaching that the gospel given to Paul by Jesus was a "HIDDEN IN GOD" gospel because I believe the word of God which says that it was "HIDDEN IN GOD." Eph 3:8-13 8 To me, who am...
