Because of the persecution by Saul, the people scattered, leaving just the apostles to preach the kingdom....they never got out of the area...certainly not to Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. I know they were being led of the Spirit, so they were where they needed to be. Acts 1:7...

God always has a remnant.

In post 416 I wrote this..... "Legalism? Where in the world do you get that idea? Romans 9, 10, and 11 all pertain to Israel. That's my whole point, and I don't know why it's so impossible for you to consider. " Clete responded with this...... "You've given me no reason to...

A distinction without a difference. Satan is the only one called the god of this world, and he isn't a "GOD" at all. I like the way Paul puts it here --- "rulers of the darkness" Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the...

That was before the death of Stephen and the scattering. But you're right about Peter and the apostles working signs and healings. Unbelieving Israel was being given a last chance, wouldn't you say?

Yep, the god of this world. Had satan known about the mystery kingdom of God, where all men could FREELY enter through faith in His blood..... 1 Cor. 1:1-2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I...

You're sweet, but a couple of days slow. :) I just finished watching it. The importance of rightly dividing the two Israels (Rebellious and Believing) is profound. We see that all throughout the Bible. There is always a remnant. The twelve and the early disciples, the little...

So this was in response to my saying, "Yep....the entire time he's talking about the Jews? I'm seriously starting to think you don't even read what I write. :unsure: About and To are not the same. I have always said that Paul is writing about the Jews for all of chapters 9, 10, and 11. You...

You should walk on the ground bare footed. That way you can be grounded, too.

Yep....the entire time he's talking about the Jews. This sure looks like first person to me. Who is being addressed here? We know it's the Jews because we see the exact thing in Deuteronomy. Romans 10:6-6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine...

I'm afraid you're not reading the scriptures that confirm Paul is talking about the Jews. Deut. 30:11-14 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and...

I hear ya. I'm going down hill fast. I can still dump a bag of grain into the feed bin, and I can still bring in a load of firewood in the wheelbarrow, but not as easily as I used to. My problem with walking is my darn vision. I'm having to wear a pair of glasses that messes up my balance...

Yes, Paul is speaking of the faith that has always been required of all men....Jew or Gentile from the beginning of time. Israel fell because of their lack of faith in not confessing Jesus as Lord. God always required works along with that faith....Abel, Noah, Abraham, etc. Before Paul's...

I was not saved by confessing His name, nor did I call upon Him. I heard the Gospel and believed unto salvation.

Romans 10:9-10 is reminding Israel what was expected of them. From scripture, as I've been saying. A dear brother found this quote. 2 Chronicles 6:24-27 And IF Thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy because they have sinned against Thee; and shall return and CONFESS THY...

I was not saved by calling upon the Lord for salvation. I was begotten by the Gospel....hearing, trusting, believing and sealed. I've never heard of any grace believer that had to confess the Lord in order to be saved. I've never heard of any grace believer of which anything was required...

NOW? That is speaking of our conscience. All men were created with one.

You can't stand it that we have liberty. We can jay walk to help someone in need. It's truly amazing. And you don't seem to have a clue about the indwelling Spirit....as if He was just a decoration of no avail to the grace believer. :unsure:

Normally, when people are conversing on a forum they don't ask a question with a false accusation.

I'll go so far as to say that a lie can be the Fruit of the Spirit. What is it but love and gentleness, and goodness to tell an ugly child they are beautiful? Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance...
