Ah, so when Jesus was preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, you think it was something besides the "Kingdom of Israel" on earth where He would sit upon the throne of David?

You're assuming a lot, once again. Do you have any scripture that supports Peter teaching the sufficiency of the cross without the law? I'd love to see it.

Who did know the Hebrew scriptures? Not the fishermen. The Scribes and Pharisees, maybe, and they had added so much it was impossible to keep the over 600 rules alone....just the rules were keeping those learned men busy.

I'd like to address this specifically first. You can replace the word circumcision with any other portion of the law and it would be the same. Peter preached keeping the law from the beginning. He was a Jew...not even eating anything "unclean" until the Lord sent down the sheet and made Peter...

Of course, there is this... so, I'm not convinced it's speaking of the freedom from the bondage of the law as Paul meant it. Jeremiah 34:15 And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the...

Oh dear. I used a term that hadn't been used in that exact fashion, and I confused you. Let's look at the Kingdom that was being preached while Jesus walked the earth.....and the Gospel of the Kingdom which required a King to sit on David's throne. The Messiah. All the Jews knew that was...

Yes, and what you're reading into the text. We know what Jesus told Peter, and He didn't say anything about the sufficiency of the cross, that I can recall. Actually, there was quite a crowd of Jews there with Peter doing exactly what Peter was doing....compelling the gentiles to get...

Well, Paul says body, soul, and spirit. I believe scripture shows that. The soul is who we are as a person (mind, personality, etc), and the spirit is that innermost part where we commune with the Spirit of God. Proverbs 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the...

Repeating it doesn't make it say what you want it to, Tam. It only makes you look desperate. So you didn't read how Paul just explained his gospel of grace ....communicating it to them, which would have to have included justification by faith? The primary part of Paul's gospel is...

Nope. The spirit is not the church. 1 Cor. 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and...

Man is definitely tripartite. Composed of body, soul, and spirit. So, I'd say one inside the other inside the other. Is that overlapping?

My goodness. So you really have no inkling of a kingdom on earth and a kingdom in heaven? The kingdom of God is heavenly. Paul speaks of that.....not the Kingdom on earth where Jesus will sit on the throne. The fact that Jesus had been crucified and was risen isn't the same as preaching the...

Don't get too excited, guys. You're getting way ahead of yourselves in an attempt to prove something that is blatantly false. Your claim that justification by faith was known to Peter before Paul explained his gospel is error. The Lord sent Paul by revelation with the purpose of explaining...

Are you really so concerned about my behavior? Why?

When Jesus spoke to the apostles about His death, burial, and resurrection, they had no idea what He was saying. I believe He said what He said so WE would see that He knew what was coming. In the Kingdom Gospel, the Jews were to believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. They were...

I think that "other gospel" was adding the works of the gospel of the Kingdom onto his gospel of grace. I should have been clearer.

The gospel of grace (Paul's gospel) certainly includes eternal life. But what about the Kingdom believers? Those who confess Jesus is the Son of God? When their sins are forgiven at the Lord's return, won't they get eternal life? Not even after they've endured to the end? How do you think...

It's good to see you boasting. Keep up the good work. Me? The right direction to quit sinning? No, I just trust in the Lord, and thank Him for His work in me.

I'm surprised you took the time with Arial. You're really more patient that you might think, and you've been a real blessing to me and many others, I know. I often have a lot to say, but can't gather my thoughts and words the way you do....so I envy you (in a good way).

You don't understand the scripture.
