Lay it on me.

It's new, but old. It's the old....soon to be new.

Yes, they most certainly were. That's a big difference right there. No one wants to admit it? In fact, there will come a day when Israel will finally call upon the Lord. I just ran across this verse, and it warms my heart. Jeremiah 36 "I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. Thus...

Do you think God would have a wife and a bride?

Sorry, I went the mass route and never once heard the Gospel of Grace. Grace believers aren't required to confess our sins. Instead we confess the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice the conditions.... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also...

Indeed, they'll have to wait for their Kingdom until the fulness of the Genties be come in. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the...

Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Alrighty then. I'm going to have to cogitate on this one. :unsure:

God doesn't need faithful men to carry out His will. He can use the basest of men and does quite often.

And that would be true if Christ hadn't resurrected from the dead. We have eternal life when we believe the gospel of grace, but our body can still die, and will need to be resurrected at the coming of the Lord.

Right you are. Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. When I start focusing on my morals, I start trying to fix them myself, and that has never worked. It's only when I give it to the Lord that the...

And none of that was the gospel that saves. Sad.

Yes, in the same way he tells us to reckon ourselves dead to sin. This puts me in mind of the Fruit of the Spirit. We have to be careful not to take credit for those things the Holy Spirit is performing in us. I think that's why Paul says to set our affections on things above....taking our...

It's so great to have you posting again. I'm so happy.

That's certainly when Paul got saved, but I'm wondering when, exactly, he received the revelation about being saved by grace through faith without works.

Yep, I especially like this one. 1 Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

My faith is in Him....not my own ability to stay faithful. 2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Timothy...

I don't know why it would no longer work....for those it was meant for. He was preaching the gospel of the kingdom to the Jews. Faith and works is what he preached. At what point exactly did God not allow faith and works for salvation? We see it again during the Tribulation. It's only...

John 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. The body is dead until it's raised (either by a miracle or at the resurrection.) That is speaking of Christ's resurrection...without that all would perish.

Aaron was simply a priest, doing what he was told. He was not a prophet and wrote no books of the Bible. I see nothing that shows he was saved or is anything like the Apostle Paul. I will say this. God can use ungodly men for His own purposes.
