You'll see this is a prophecy concerning Israel. Jesus was a minister to the circumcision. Psalm 118: 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for...

Reborn of God? God's seed? NT, which is God's covenant with Israel? Abraham, the Father of Faith, didn't please God? He didn't please God when he offered up Isaac? David, a man after God's own heart didn't please God? Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be...

Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Oh, so you're saying David and Abraham could not please God?

Exactly. It was the same when God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Besides, there have been lots of Jews who have been saved by hearing Paul's gospel. The old gal who first preached the gospel to me, Ruth, was a "completed Jew"...as she labeled herself.

He went one better. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

This sounds an awful lot like, "Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it?" So why? Because God is not able to keep those who have come to Him for salvation? Because being sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise is not good enough?

They weren't in church. Peter is speaking to those who have been scattered among the gentiles because of persecution. He's saying they could have started walking in the same idolatries as those people around them. Those people thought it strange that the Jews had not started acting like them...

Do you seriously think that God is not able to keep those who have been sealed with the Holy Spirit?

That is referring to the Jews. Read what it says. 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.

Put off your pride. It's so unbecoming. I told you to post a verse so I'd know in what weird direction you were going. Don't be explaining any verses to me since you have no spiritual understanding. Proving once again that you are stuck in prophecy and know nothing of the mystery...

1. What do those "believing Jews" you speak of believe in exactly? Be specific. 2. By the "rest of believers" are you referring to the church of God (which has neither Jew nor Gentile)? The church has no covenant of redemption, but Israel does. Maybe that's what you're confused about...

The problem is that the majority of responders can see clearly that you don't know how to preach the gospel. And that is what we are called to do. You've made it so complicated, you'd never be invited out to do any street preaching. They'd have to just leave you home. Perhaps you should...

Don't yell at me. You're the one who said this. "To circle back to the purpose of the OP: do you see any ways in which the church according to the apostles foundation has shifted in our churches?" The OP is about the churches in the book of Revelation. You didn't say the foundation of the...

So take a look at this lovely paragraph that Ariel is blaming me for not 'getting'. What a bunch of blah blah blah. Every other sentence is something she thinks she needs to teach, and she never does get to the point. I'll just lay out my thoughts, and, hopefully, they'll fit in...

She.

Show me the verse and I'll explain it to you.

Right, it couldn't be you and your lack of knowledge and what you're attempting to teach. It's got to be my comprehension level. What do you have to do to get saved? What is the gospel of salvation today?

Yep, that my goal. Cruising around and being disagreeable. However, I know exactly how that post came about. And your versions here is close. You were being told that if you didn't figure out how to get saved, you'd be going to hell. When you say he tried to "skate out of that by saying...

Not the same at all. Paul is talking about them in the past tense.....since there is neither Jew nor Gentile under grace. Peter isn't recognizing that fact and continues to call them gentiles.

Of course. There will all kinds of reprobates in heaven who have had ALL THEIR SINS forgiven. 1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
