You remain under the law and you don't even see it.

My heart goes out to all those who have no assurance of salvation. Their faith is not in the Lord's finished work on the cross, but in their own ability to keep themselves.

Thank you, brother. That's what I tried to tell her....that they'd already heard Paul's gospel, but she refused to hear.

Ah, very true. It was their continued unbelief that caused God to turn to the gentiles, wasn't it?

The proof is in the pudding -- so to speak. Remember, Jesus and the Apostles said the kingdom was "at hand". According to prophecy, the death and resurrection would be followed shortly by vexation and wrath before the 2nd coming. The nation of Israel refused to recognize their Messiah, so...

So instead of repeating that over and over, could you take a few minutes and explain to me how Peter would know about justification by faith. There should be something you can find that would prove Peter understood this. Gal. 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law...

God had (and still has) other plans for Peter, and it doesn't include preaching the gospel of grace.

No it isn't. Why do you think the Jews were telling the gentiles they had to be circumcised in order to be saved. Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

No wonder you're so confused.

Because it was true for the Jews. It certainly isn't true for the body of Christ, but the Jews did have to endure to the end. Their sins wouldn't be blotted out until Jesus returned in His glory. The Jews had been so unfaithful, that God required them to be faithful to the end. If they...

Of course we can when you argue who the "we" is talking about, instead of showing scripture that proves your claim about Peter knowing about justification through faith because he was a Jew.

And you don't think they fulfilled their role?

Well then we need to look at it again with fresh eyes. I think what Paul says in Romans 11 makes it very clear.

They didn't talk about it because they were all circumcised. All the Jews. They were all law keepers.

Nice try. RD isn't cowardly, and you can't stop him from responding to my posts....even if it is in your thread.

Her new MO. Lots of talk, but no scripture backing it up.

NO, I do not say that. Total bull. I say, and have said repeatedly, HE IS ABLE. Not I am able. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: So when we stand before the throne, Tam can say...

You like to jump to the end of all things, and we aren't in the fulness of time yet. You're wrong, though, the Apostles made it all about the Kingdom on earth with Christ as King. Show some scripture, girl. Don't be lazy. Support some of this nonsense you're preaching so boldly.

What you fail to see is that the New Covenant was put on hold because the Jews crucified their King when He came. They were supposed to be the light unto the gentiles. They failed. So, the church age has to be completed before the New Covenant with the Jews can even begin.

Saying it doesn't make it so. And in this case, you're dead wrong. It is extremely unsettling when believers have no assurance of their salvation. Their trust and faith is in themselves rather than the Lord's work on the cross. No assurance.....no salvation.
