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.

I've considered it, of course, and I see quite clearly where the remnant of faithful Israel fits into Paul's teachings in these three chapters of Romans. I've always known Israel is the focus of much of Paul's teachings, but verses such as we find smack dab in the middle of Paul's SUBJECT...

I don't mind looking ridiculous. 😇 I'm just trying to show you boys that Paul was NOT telling us we had to confess with our mouth. I realize it's hard to toss out old Kingdom commands, but you really need to look at those prophecies Paul is quoting. They were to confess that Jesus was...

Ah, well I listen to people who have been saved longer than that. Confessing with your mouth is an act of the flesh which could speak of faith or could speak a lie. Anyone can confess with their mouth....which you cannot deny. The fact is, you have taken that confession of the mouth from...

Nice. You actually made a point that makes sense.

"Saying it does not make it so" is a worn out phrase at best. As brilliant as you guys are you should be able to come up with something new. :unsure:

My goodness. What a wonderful mutual admiration society. :ROFLMAO: Being God, Jesus was able to hold the entire world together AND KNOW the time of His return IN HIS DEITY. He chose, in His humanity, to not know everything. Being God is not something that was lost when Jesus walked among...

Instead of searching out what Bob says, why don't you see where Paul is preaching confession with the mouth? It should be somewhere. Like here: Eph. 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, YE...

So instead of merely believing that Christ died for our sins and rose from the dead, we must confess with our mouth in order to be saved? Clearly we are not saved by faith alone. Very interesting! Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in...

So, you've decided it's fine to add to Paul's gospel of grace that which Jesus, in the flesh, required of the Jews. The fact that you find it in the middle of Paul's treatise on Israel, doesn't slow you down one bit. Paul said we are to know Jesus no more in the flesh, but you grab onto this...

No wonder you think you can be cut off. Nope. The covenants are with Israel. New and better, but not here yet. The law is written on the heart and mind of the Jews when the Kingdom comes in. The New Covenant does not come into effect until the Kingdom comes here on earth. Yep, you can...
