Of course it is. He was speaking to Jews.....his fellow believers in the Messiah. YE are a chosen generation. In what way do you think gentiles could ever be called a generation? In what way do you think gentiles could ever be a kingdom of priests? A royal priesthood? Exodus 19:6 And ye...

No, he was writing to the scattered remnant. That remnant that was persecuted for their testimony of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

I call Peter the head of the remnant. He makes it clear that this remnant of Israel was a "chosen generation". A "royal priesthood". An holy NATION. A peculiar people. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew...

I think I'll believe Jesus rather than you. You're calling our Lord a liar, and you don't blink an eye when you do so. :cool: Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house...

Mixing law and grace, which you do on a regular basis, is keeping you from receiving the free gift of salvation. The fact is that Jesus paid the price for sin and you don't believe that. Sad indeed. Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins...

Jesus was talking to the Jews. That's probably why you don't understand what He's saying to the Pharisees and His apostles. Whenever you rob things that are not meant for you, you prove yourself a babe....in need of milk.

I wonder how long I'll be here..... :unsure:

Bots are strange things. Hi Musty. Good to see you back. :love:

You're lying and lying is a sin. :p You forget, we are Bible scholars and we know what the Bible says. The fact that your sin (if you're saved) is no longer accounted to you is not the same as your "not sinning". This is kindergarten material. We are to reckon ourselves dead to sin, which...

You'd be presumptuous and mistaken, as Jesus makes clear. The KINGDOM on earth was postponed because Israel rejected their King when He came. Acts 1: 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And...

Yes, Peter and rest of the little flock. The Kingdom believers. No, I mean separate from Israel......without covenants and promises of Israel. The body of Christ has nothing to do with Israel's standing with God. You're one with believing Israel as Cornelius was. As if that was even possible.

Satan is alive and well on planet earth.

Were they husbands of one wife, or simply impostors?

They are merely elders, as opposed to the babes. Titus 1: 5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children...

The only hierarchy in the body of Christ is Christ Himself.

ABOUT the Jews. Is this really so hard for you to understand? Unbelieving Jews, - those who rejected Christ as the Messiah. Paul was in that group before he got saved. Believing Jews, - those who confessed Christ as the Messiah. believing Gentiles. - those who came through believing...

Pay attention to who Paul is talking about....all through out Romans, I might add. Which is why discernment is required when reading Paul. Romans 2: 17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that...

Musterion's "Warning Ban" is supposed to be up today. It would sure be nice if I could hear what he thinks of this "adding on to Paul's gospel". :cool: Faith is the only requirement under Grace. Forgive others, confession of sins, repent, water baptism, turn the other cheek, love your...

He says the same thing in Romans 2 concerning sin. You're making that about the body of Christ...but Paul is referring to Jews and Gentiles...not the body of Christ. Which, by the way, has been my point from the beginning. Romans 2:9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that...

I can only dumb this down so much, Clete. Rinse and repeat just like when I teach my dog new tricks.
