I'm thinking in Acts 15....the Jerusalem counsel, I guess, they decided the Gentiles didn't have to be circumcised. That seems to have been a big step for them at the time. I think the first step for the Jews was to recognized Jesus as the Messiah (which was the gospel of the kingdom) , and...

This is actually quite something to behold. You scold for our not preaching the Gospel, yet you complain about the thread on "two gospels". The reason we have that thread is because people like you don't even know what the Gospel is. And the complaint about the "millennial" reign and the...

He supports his position just fine. You, on the other hand, have no position to support. You just toss up ideas and hope they stick.

When you refuse to see there are different dispensations, you make big mistakes....like with your statement here below. Wrong. Faith and works were required for salvation before Christ's resurrection, just as faith and works will be required again after the rapture of the church.

To even suggest that one who was sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise, who is God's workmanship could ever be lost, is just plain wrong. It's the same as claiming we keep ourselves.

Peter was preaching the gospel of the kingdom from beginning to end, as I read it. Do you see him preaching anything about being a member of the body of Christ? Seems he was looking forward to the day his sins would be blotted out. Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your...

Which goes back to man being responsible for his own salvation....the keeping of it. Is that what you really believe? Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

So you think telling people to repent, keep the commandments, and overcome is giving assurance of their salvation?

Some people hate that, don't they?

No, he that overcometh is not the church of God. My point was that we are complete in Christ, and He has overcome the world for us. The churches in Revelation are tribulation churches and they must do works ....obedience to commandments and repenting in order to overcome. Enduring to the end...

That's hardly the case here. The scripture says the great tribulation would be shortened for the elect's sake. Nothing to do with their being saved by that shortening. There will be incredible suffering coming upon those who are left after the rapture. The "elect" John is talking about are...

I believe we're simply His body. If you can call that "simply".

Made you laugh, didn't it?

I don't think so. Bride is never mentioned by Paul.

John the Baptist prepared the way....the voice crying in the wilderness. The bride is Israel or more likely, Jerusalem, so what would John being a Jew have to do with it? Also, remember, Israel was God's wife to begin with. Isaiah 54: 4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be...

I told her that once. Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

Ha....in your dreams, Derf. Why do you think the apostles were sent to the Jews, and Paul to the Gentiles? If it was the same Gospel, then it wouldn't matter who they went to. Why were the apostles told to stay in Israel and continue preaching to the Jews? Here's what I think. I think the...

You can ask.....I can tell you need some attention. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think you're even saved yet. Maybe you think you've figured out the correct formula, but blown around with every wind of doctrine. I'll tell you this. The only way you will be saved is through the cross...

I think of these verses when this comes up. 1 Cor. 3 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall...

So I'm wondering where you would draw the line. There must be a line that needs to be crossed.
