Oh heavens no. They were certainly heirs according to the promises. We are merely fellow heirs with them. They were saved exactly as we are. They just remained in their little groups, as Jews are used to doing. Look how hard it was for Peter and the others to be around gentiles...

I‘ve never heard there is a Greek word for rapture but it makes sense. Those Greeks were big on that. So the caught up definition of harpazo would be the correct one. Is this just some odd coincidence. 🧐

No, Paul is speaking of the different gifts and ministries within the church. In context….gifts, words of wisdom, etc. There is nothing to do with dispensations, not even close. Paul is speaking of the Spirit’s working in the body, and the ministry being produced. 1 Cor. 12:8-11 For to one...

I would call it being washed for service.

No, the word is harpatzo or something like that. It means to snatch away.

You see this gathering unto him as the rapture, correct? 2 Thess. 2:1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, Yet here it says that day of rapture will not come except…that man of sin be revealed. 2 Thess. 2:3 Let no man...

Except it had nothing to do with circumcision or the covenant, but of the work of offering Isaac as a sacrifice. James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

He was writing to the twelve tribes scattered abroad. Yes, Jewish believers in Yeshua. Believers in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and James is teaching how to live Godly lives in the midst of an evil generation. Humility in the midst of persecution. The Jews have always been a separate people...

Did I say that? No, of course not. Can you give me your definition of grace? What is that GRACE we are saved by? Perhaps this? Made near by the blood, purchased by the blood, justified by the blood, redemption through the blood, and peace through the blood. God’s grace is shed abroad on...

The problem is with the claim that James was restricting his words to the twelve tribes scattered abroad. I think James is excellent at describing the life we should be living, which is his intent, don’t you think? Sure sounds like the process of sanctification to me. James 1:2-6 My...

Do you think the Antichrist will be revealed before we are taken up to meet the Lord in the air?

Perhaps you missed my point, as I’m missing yours. It’s always the case that those who believed have their sins remitted. It’s the believing that gives one access to God’s grace.

It is a bit humorous. Grace and truth came through the Lord Jesus Christ. Not Paul. If you want to get to the bottom of it, you’ll find the blood of Christ is the grace of God. Which also contains His Mercy and His Peace. Three in one. Lumped together. Which of those three are...

Philippians 3:11. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Ah yes. Expecting the rapture when the dead in Christ shall be raised first. And, of course, Israel will come after.

Seems to me that Paul focuses on salvation which results in good works. The works aren’t exactly stressed, though, which makes them easy to overlook. This causes people to think nothing is really required of them. Sounds right to me. We aren’t here to be puffed up by our knowledge or wealth...

This is good, and it brought something to mind with the mention of Thomas. John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. We, of course, are numbered among those who have not seen, yet...

It robs from Paul’s gospel would be my guess.

I realize you guys have your canned responses, and that must mean something, but how about you explain your comment in a simple and succinct manner? 🙄

Join the club. It seems to be mockery, doesn’t it? Although, I did laugh about Paul’s use of the word MY In your previous post. That laugh was not a bit of mockery, but a genuine chuckle at your wit.

Yes, and those works can either be honoring to God, or burned up as chaff. Not an issue is salvation, but one of sanctification. 1 Cor. 3:14-15 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he...
