I'm pretty sure Paul says "to you". Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than...

I believe they are with the Lord, not in some compartment, and they could very well have their spiritual bodies, unless these are those who came out of the great Tribulation. There will be a resurrection for their bodies at the second coming. By this time, the rapture has taken place and the...

I think it shows how serious it is to preach a gospel of works to those who have been saved by grace. See how James teaches something different than Paul? John's letters, too, are way different than Paul's and I don't believe they are addressed to Gentiles. Personally, I believe that all...

It's a common term akin to age of Grace. You haven't heard of the different ages? Notice how Paul's letters are written to the churches? Paul actually calls it a Dispensation. Eph. 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by...

God knows we can do it when we come to Him. Without Him, we choose evil - free will and all in this world of sin.

Therein lies the problem. Micah 6: 11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? 12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

He is also famous for having a hair trigger temper.

So, as I understand it. If anyone came and preached a gospel of water baptism and works to those saved by Grace through faith they were to be accursed. That would include those who preached any kind of works including commandment keeping.

Interesting. What about the souls under the altar saying, How long, Lord? Rev. 6:9-10 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying...

First I'll say this part in blue is a fly in your ointment. Paul has no doubt whatsoever that all believers are eternally secure in their salvation. And if "absent from the body" = "present with the Lord", but we might not be accepted of Him in the judgment of vs 10, how secure are we in our...

I may have to cover this in more than one post. You bring up so many interesting points. We know Paul says we are body, soul, and spirit. Clearly they are distinct. 1 Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your...

Could be. I can't remember to tell you the truth.

So, I'm not seeing any real difference between the body and the bride of Christ. What am I missing?

And here we are still trying to figure it out.

There is one Gospel of Salvation...by grace through faith for Jews and Gentiles....during this church age, this age of Grace. But that isn't the Gospel Jesus was preaching. He and the apostles were preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom....which was God's Kingdom on earth where Jesus would rule...

Paul seems quite confident. 2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. I'm not...

These verses come to mind. Romans 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in...

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of verses that speak of the soul departing and not dying. The exception, of course, is when the word "soul" is used as a living human being. Like forty souls lost in the shipwreck. But the soul is the person, himself. The thinking, reasoning, being with...

I'm seeing the Gospel of the Kingdom being preached that requires faith and commandment observance (works). That isn't Paul's Gospel. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only...

Yes, I see. (y)
