Sitting on thrones speaks of Power and Administration rather than actual sitting.

So you don't see Jesus and the apostles were preaching a KIngdom on earth where Christ, their Messiah, would sit upon the throne of David? And you don't see a Heavenly Kingdom where the members of the body of Christ are seated with Him in heavenly places? The Jews were promised a Kingdom on...

You know that the Jews are God's chosen people. They knew God and believed in Him, but what so many Jews failed to accept was Jesus Christ as the Promised Messiah. The Jews had been given the Law and the Covenants and the Promises, and their salvation was to be received when they were IN their...

Well, it isn't what I say, but it is what the Bible says. Faith and works have been required in every dispensation I can think of......except those who are saved by Paul's gospel, which is faith alone. It isn't that the works saved them, but that they were required by God. The Kingdom...

Exactly. As I said before, while in the Catholic Church, I never once heard the gospel.

Most were saved, but wouldn't receive forgiveness of sins until the Lord's coming in glory....if they endured to the end.

In the kingdom gospel, they were to believe Jesus Christ was the Son of God and their Messiah. That Messiah that would bring in the kingdom of heaven on earth. The believing Jews were expecting it to come any day, and thus they were to go through the tribulation that preceded Jesus' second...

When I was a Catholic, we were not allowed to attend another church. I wouldn't be surprised it that weren't still the case.

If you guys would just accept that John and the other disciples were preaching the Kingdom gospel and not the gospel of grace, you'd stop with this back and forth that has nothing to do with you.

The Lord's last words on the cross were, "It is finished". Nothing is to be added or can be added to the finished work of the cross, other than what the Lord Himself requires. For some, faith and works were required. For others NOTHING was to be added. There is no end to what man can...

It doesn't matter if we're saved by our works or not..... God has nearly always...if not always....demanded that works be added to faith, except for this age of grace. You don't have to like it, but it's true.

Ah, full of spit and vinegar tonight, I see.

But the little flock was not so little once God opened the door to the gentiles. Acts 11:11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

You can't use John for anything. Your verse or this one? 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. The only reason we don't "sin" is because we are not under the law, and sin is transgression of the law. We do plenty of things wrong, but...

Daniel might be over my head tonight, but the rest certainly fits. Better than my idea, I'm thinking.

1. Is correct 2. is trying to mush together the "little flock" of Kingdom believers with members of the body of Christ, so it misses the mark. The church in Jerusalem or the little flock was made up of Jews (and proselytes) who accepted Christ as their Messiah. They were mostly Jews who...

To be honest, I can't imagine Paul saying anything different than the Gospel he preaches. Someone mentioned maybe Paul had a dual purpose and message, but I really think we can rule out Paul as the author of Hebrewsl. I also think we can rule out this Timothy as being Paul's close companion...

What? Still not answered? Perhaps if you'll be more concise with what you're asking, I might be able to tell you. You're basing your question on some assumption, and I'll need to know what that assumption is.

Yep, we didn't have to wait, but the kingdom saints will not have their sins blotted out until He sets up His Kingdom. Notice how Peter puts this, " Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." We are...

Yeah, I have to agree. I love those little clues. Thanks, brother. Until we meet again under similar circumstances. :) Oh.....Peter has some more information hidden there in that bit of mention of Paul. I'm very curious about the "wisdom" Paul wrote. One would expect it was his gospel...
