Does this save you?before your Father In Heaven in your prayer!
Doug, christ announced his death, told them why. jesus SHOWED HIS CRUCIFIXION DEATH AND RESURRECTION, how can you say he did not preach it? He lived it they all saw it......they wrote about it!!!!!!!!For you to say that reflects your lack of understanding scripture
If you read scripture it is readily apparent Jesus taught another message
You cant find Jesus preaching his death and resurrection for the salvation of all. He and the twelve preached only faith in his name which was for them to believe he was their Messiah the Son of God
Israel diminished and the earthly kingdom offer with it. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached again in the tribulation
If the kingdom arrived with Christ on earth then why did the disciples ask if he would restore it again? Why would they be looking for a kingdom that was already here?
Have no idea what you are trying to get at here. I am offline for 10 days, will pick back up then.You can be Biblical but not dispensational. Confession was for Israel in the Bible not us
Are you going to thrown out of the synagogue for confessing Jesus is the Messiah the Son of God?
Im short of time but will get back to you soon.Does this save you?

What I am getting at is that we arent required to confess him. Jesus was only speaking to Israel here...................Have no idea what you are trying to get at here. I am offline for 10 days, will pick back up then.
And yes you can have many correct doctrines as a covenant/allegorical heremneutical biblicist. However as you take many things allegorically, it leaves way too many of Gods word left to mans opinion as to what He meant instead of accepting what is written.
I am offline for ten days. Will pick back up then.
Here is a clear, direct answer you can post. Simple language, gloves off, and grounded only in Jesus and the twelve.For you to say that reflects your lack of understanding scripture

Israel diminished and the earthly kingdom offer with it. The gospel of the kingdom will be preached again in the tribulation.e tribulation DOUG we are now very close to the start of the tribulation I recieved visions of this ,amy timea always the same one, thus confirmed. this if why I do post about it, it is perhaps time for me to do so again.The idea that the twelve preached a temporary gospel
sorry Doug I must correct a serious mistake here the 12 was deplace by the disciple and it was not paul according to scripture and this is clear,As I stated elsewhere this idea makes Paul one of the twelve. He was just preaching a more complete gospel. The problem is exactly what you said, he wasnt with Jesus from the beginning and therefore could not be numbered with them
You said Paul couldnt say anything different. Jesus taught the law. Paul taught we arent under the law. Not the same
Peter makes it clear Judas was truly one of the twelve, and his loss left a real vacancy that had to be filled according to Scripture.And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren, and said (and there was a multitude of persons gathered together, about a hundred and twenty), Brethren, it was needful that the scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spake before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered among us, and received his portion in this ministry.
This is crucial.Of the men therefore that have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day that he was received up from us, of these must one become a witness with us of his resurrection.
Finally, the choice is made.And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show of these two the one whom thou hast chosen, to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.
And they gave lots for them; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Because they were asking about the final restoration, not the beginning.If the kingdom arrived with Christ on earth then why did the disciples ask if he would restore it again? Why would they be looking for a kingdom that was already here?
Paul being difficult to understand, it took me time to understand that most the the verses where Paul seem to be against the "LAW" he is in fact mentioning the law of Moses, it is different than the ten commandments, the law of Moses were set for the peoples who escaped the egyptians, they knew nothing, had no education, worshipped idols and had forgotten about God, they needed all these instructions at that time, today what do we need from the levetical laws, atomenent sacfifices... none of these. but the 10 Commandments remain, it is why Jesus was teaching them and explained how to follow them with the heart and not with strict letters written on stone, the commandments are Love and Mercy and Forgiveness.As I stated elsewhere this idea makes Paul one of the twelve. He was just preaching a more complete gospel. The problem is exactly what you said, he wasnt with Jesus from the beginning and therefore could not be numbered with them
You said Paul couldnt say anything different. Jesus taught the law. Paul taught we arent under the law. Not the same
YES!Does this save you?
What scripture are you referring to in saying this
John 15:16 (ASV)And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask me anything in my name, that will I do.
John 16:23–24 (ASV)Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Jesus saying He is always with usAnd in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
Asking our Father in the name of Jesus does confess your beliefs in Christ, but one must ask in faith and pure heart with good intentions as God knows our heart better than ourselves do.And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Jesus did say clearly that He would rise on the third day, and He explained it more than once. Here are the key verses, straight and clear (ASV).What scripture says Jesus told them why he would die and rise the third day?
He only told them that he would be crucified and rise again not why
Matthew 16:21 (ASV)And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Luke 9:22 (ASV)From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
Jesus connects the “three days” to prophecysaying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.
After the resurrection, Jesus reminds them He already said thisfor as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
So the record is clear:and he said unto them, Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day.
Jesus was only telling them he would be crucified and rise again. Jesus didnt say what it would accomplish. People know of the death and resurrection for salvation and read into verses like this. Just read what it says not what you want it to say. Jesus didnt say and after this is accomplished you will preach my death and resurrection for salvation.Jesus did preach His death and resurrection, and He did it before the cross, repeatedly, and He said it was necessary for salvation.
Jesus did not just say “believe I am Messiah” and stop there. He explained what the Messiah must do.
Jesus said plainly, “The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected… and be killed, and after three days rise again” (Mark 8:31, ASV).
This was not hidden. He said it openly.
[John 3:14 KJV] "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:"...................Once again you are reading the cross where it isn't. Let's look at the passage not just the verse.Jesus tied His death directly to life and salvation. He said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up; that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life” (John 3:14–15, ASV).
That is the cross. That is salvation language.
You have to look at the surrounding verses. He said nothing of the cross or his death and resurrection....................[John 6:47 KJV] "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life."..............He was saying to believe on him which we saw was to believe on his name...............[John 3:18 KJV] "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."Jesus said, “The bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world” (John 6:51, ASV).
That is not just “believe my name.” That is His death for the world.
Jesus shed his blood for the new testament which was only to forgive the sins Israel committed under the first testamentAt the Last Supper, Jesus said, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins”(Matthew 26:28, ASV).
Forgiveness of sins comes through His blood. That is the gospel.
Look closely and see that remission of sins wasn't by the cross they were to preach not the cross, but HIS NAMEAfter the resurrection, Jesus Himself explained the message to the disciples:
“Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations” (Luke 24:46–47, ASV).
Jesus defines the gospel here. Suffering. Resurrection. Repentance. Forgiveness. All nations.
Peter wasnt preaching the cross for salvation he was condemning Israel for crucifying JesusPeter said, “Jesus of Nazareth… ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay: whom God raised up” (Acts 2:22–24, ASV).
Later Peter said, “Those things, which God foreshewed… that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled” (Acts 3:18, ASV).
You are reading into this.This is crucial.
The replacement must:
• Have followed Jesus from the beginning
• Have witnessed His ministry
• Have witnessed His resurrection
That means the foundation of the apostolic message was already fixed:
Jesus’ life, His death, and His resurrection.
The kingdom they were asking about was the Davidic covenant in which Jesus would rule the nations and the twelve with him judging the twelve tribes. Jesus would sit on David's throne. None of this was even partially fulfilled as you say.Because they were asking about the final restoration, not the beginning.
The kingdom had already arrived with Jesus, but it was not yet completed. Jesus taught that God’s rule begins now and is finished later when He returns.
So in Acts 1:6 they were asking when the kingdom would be fully restored, not whether it existed.
Here is my post on thispaul was concetrating on the Name of Jesus and the Cross the meaning, but did he teach the ten commandments? he mentionned once that the commandments are good and just but it is about it. do not forget the original 12 were preaching all Jesus did and SAID. many forget this, please dont.
We are saved by believing Paul's gospel, that Christ died for our sins and rose for our justificationYES!
Here are the full verses, only Jesus’ words, from the ASV, without shortening.
Asking in Jesus’ name
John 14:13–14 (ASV)
John 15:16 (ASV)
John 16:23–24 (ASV)
Jesus saying He is always with us
Matthew 28:18–20 (ASV)
Asking our Father in the name of Jesus does confess your beliefs in Christ, but one must ask in faith and pure heart with good intentions as God knows our heart better than ourselves do.
