Ephesians on is pretty much where we are in terms of His ever proceeding plan to return mankind and His creation to right relationship.
Some of the Bible is allegory, some is history, some is guidance, all of which require Holy Spirit who guides us in all truth, if we allow.

Oh, that was what you meant by "in the minds", you meant in a negative way.

I said the same when I mentioned Luke 1 and Zacharias "So yes, all enemies, human or spiritual. Remember at that time, Rome was their conqueror and Pompey the Great actually walked into their Holy of Holies. "

https://christianchat.com/threads/the-diciples-prayer.197730/post-4503307

we are saying the same things then.

Yes Guojing, but believers should come to understand that in Christ, God's people cannot be conquered. In him, we are conquerors.

"Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done", is not only a request. It's a statement of fact, praising Gods greatness.

What the Jews think, what I think, what you think, has absolutely nothing to do with the truth of God. How you relate to God has great importance to you, and it is important that what we say about God reflects the truth. God is vitally concerned with forgiving you of your sins so you may live with Him forever, all your involvement with gentiles/Jews and such are besides the point. If they don't help with what God is moist concerned with they are just getting in the way of the truth of the Lord.

I hear what you're saying Blik, but what the people who rejected Jesus thought does concern the truth of God, because he foretold it.

We read in other places in the bible where a question is asked on how to do something. Say in Ruth or another book in the Ot an instruction or literally how to furnish the tabernacle or something . We immediately recognise the audience and context . Why is it when it comes to the four gospels we Apply literally everything Jesus says to ourselves?
Click to expand...
Well, in speaking of the tabernacle, the veil separating the holy place from the holiest place is said to be Christs flesh. He's the lamb and also the High Priest, One with the Holy Spirit. Heb.9 and 10. So those OT figures apply to all believers.

My point was are you going to follow the instructions to build the tabernacle? If not, why not ? We know what it represents now . Now we look back with a complete bible .

Of course Im not going to build an OT tabernacle or temple. Jesus doesn't want the Jews to do that either.

What part of the prayer Jesus taught his disciples doesn't apply to any believer?

My point on this thread is show how Jesus words get taken from their context and how we no longer understand what he said . This isn't the only verse . Many things Jesus is saying for what ever reason are taught as if Jesus is speaking to us . We don't do this with things said in Leviticus for example . Why when we get to the four Gospels we don't care who Jesus is speaking to ,we automatically take what he is saying and apply it to us ?

My point in my posts is that all scripture is truth, eternal truth that applies to all time. A knowledgeable study of the old testament and the new testament, together, shows that no scripture disagrees with any other scripture..

People opposed to this quote the commandments that no longer apply. Yet a closer look at these tells us that the principle behind these commandments are eternal truths. We are still required to strip away the fleshly thoughts and belong to the Lord, even if we don't cut flesh to represent this---- as an example.

Why ever would you not study the animal sacrifices that were ordered by the Lord? Do you think it was demons who ordered them? And why not learn why and how the Lord ordered them, why not learn of what is the same between the blood of Christ and those orders? What does scripture mean by the "shadow of Christ"? It is part of scripture. If you are so fleshly that you only think of feeding God with blood, read Isaiah 1, and see what the Lord thinks of that.

Another difference would be the cross . Do you acknowledge anything different about Jesus before and after the cross ?

Jesus told us He came and made ALL things new, ALL means ALL.
We are not longer under the ten commandments either, "Love the Lord thy God with all you heart, soul and strength and love your neighbor as your self" covers the whole of the law.
You have to go to some of the ignorant churches and ignorant church teachings today to get back under the law Jesus came to free us from.

Now we are agreeing. I do still feel objections to seeing the differences unless equal value is given to the sameness. But I love sharing the same thoughts, to agreeing with you about the Lord.

Do you agree that prior to the cross they only recieved remission not redemption? That no one was regenerated , born again, sealed by the Holy spirit unto the day of redemption,? That THEY could lose salvation ect ?

What I think scripture tells us that they received sleep or being with ancestors only before Christ died on the cross. There is no scripture in the old testament that speaks of being in heaven with the Lord, yet in Matt. 27:52 it speaks of the those saints being made alive when Christ left for those three days. Even while Christ was on the cross, Christ speaks of being in heaven.
