The house of Israel represents all of God's chosen people. The biggest part of them turned away from God, and started worshiping idols, because of this God scattered them into all the world, and blinded their eyes that they could not see the truths contained in the gospel, until they repent, but God left in the midst of them a poor and afflicted people that trusted in the name of the Lord

The remnant of Israel shall do no iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (Zeph 3:11-13.)

The remnant are instructed to go into all the world and preach repentance to the lost sheep of the house of Israel
The house of Israel represents all of God's chosen people. The biggest part of them turned away from God, and started worshiping idols, because of this God scattered them into all the world, and blinded their eyes that they could not see the truths contained in the gospel, until they repent,

yeah that’s very well said summary


but God left in the midst of them a poor and afflicted people that trusted in the name of the Lord

Yep they also feared the lord and obeyed his word and were desperate and persecuted by those in the world


The remnant of Israel shall do no iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (Zeph 3:11-13.)

yeah the remnant of israel will do no iniquity because they wouldn’t be under the law of sin any more they were and still are being led into the promised land now by the good shepherd and his word calling them in the gospel

“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“The remnant are instructed to go into all the world and preach repentance to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”

the remnant are given the great commission and sent to preach this entire message to all people

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Have you not realized the entire early church were born again because tbey repented and believes the gospel ? Then carried it out to the world as Jesus commanded them ?

The remnant is the original Hebrew church who accepted thier messiah and carried his gospel out to all people as Abraham’s promise was for all people through Christ

It’s why they were scattered into the earth they carried the law and gospel ( our Bible )

any israelite or any gentile is able to be saved if they hear and believe the gospel Jew and gentile seperation is long gone everyone is a gentile sinner who needs salvation the remnant of Israel has already been delivered, and a remnant of the world is now being delivered through thier message of Jesus Christ

abut yeah I agree with a couple things you said there well said not really sure your point are you trying to seperate Jew and gentile still ?

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The natural man, if he heard the word, not being able to understand spiritual things, would not believe it (1 Cor 2:14).

God did not send his word to the natural man that could not discern it, but he sent it unto the children of Israel (Acts 10:37).
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It seems at some point you would just acknowledge it’s sent to every creature in the world and thier reponse to it
will determine thier salvation or damnation.

I mean it’s you and your interpretation versus Jesus and what he said

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And who do you believe the little flock is? I can tell you who it is not, that being the natural man.

He sent it to the children of Israel, his people.
yeah Jesus must have not understood what you do when he said to preach it to everyone in the world whoever believes it will be saved


your opinion ? Or what Jesus plainly says ? Hmmmm I need to wiegh the pros and cons

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

yep I’ll go with his word

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;

but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

i think since he’s offering salvation I will also share that and stick to it

It's just not fair. :(

Why did God make Forest so brilliant, and the rest of us so stupid? :confused:o_O

And how does this comment help in gleaning the truth of the scriptures? Is not this forum, a bible discussion forum?

I see that you haven't learned that being baptised will save (deliver) a person as they sojourn here on earth, but will not deliver them eternally.

What is the gospel that says needs to be preached to the ends of the earth so the end can come?
The Gospel to be Preached is ------the Gospel of the GOOD NEWS -------Jesus came to Preach the Gospel of Good News -----the Gospel of Grace ---the Gospel of Salvation -------

Jesus said in ---Mark 16:15

New Living Translation
And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.


From Strongs

HELPS Word-studies
Cognate: 2098 euaggélion the Gospel – literally, "God's good news." See 2097 (euangelizō).

The Gospel (2098 includes the entire Bible, i.e. it is not limited to how a person becomes a Christian.

the glad tidings of the kingdom of God soon to be set up, and subsequently also of Jesus, the Messiah, the founder of this kingdom:

Jesus Christ as having suffered death on the cross to procure eternal salvation for men in the kingdom of God, but as restored to life and exalted to the right hand of God in heaven, thence to return in majesty to consummate the kingdom of God; so that it may be more briefly defined as "the glad tidings of salvation through Christ; the proclamation of the grace of God manifested and pledged in Christ; the gospel"

Answer to Pilgramshope post #328


Your first misinterpretation is that eternal deliverance is not an offer. Deliverances is an offering to the child of God, as he sojourns here on earth, if he will follow God's commandments.

So that he could sabotage the Gospel with impunity at every opportunity. Whether we like it or not there are saboteurs on every Christian forum -- blowing up the truth or planting lies. This is what spiritual warfare is all about.

All scriptures must harmonize before you understand the truths in Christ's doctrine. I explain what I think a scripture means, and you reply back with what you think it means. Is not that what this forum is all about?

But I say, have they not heard? Yes their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the world (Rom 10:18).

No. A Christian forum is about presenting Bible truth and Gospel truth and combatting the lies of the devil.

The truth of God's word is what I am presenting. God must have blinded you to see it.
