Faith/Works...How much faith? How much works?

And I would add that the NT does not begin until the death of the testator, not with Matthew 1. A transition took place after His death as the message changed from being Jewish in nature to the Gentiles through the apostle Paul. And then back to the Jews after the rapture of the Church which takes place in Paul’s epistles.

Why?

Because jesus told us why

1st to the jew

If you go to the jew first. That means YOU DO NOT GO ELSEWHERE.

As you go fulfill this, do you do the signs and wonders?

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

No one has ever done that, That was added to scripture

I am done dude, I am not sure where you get this stuff. Or if you made it up. But I did what I needed to do. And the person I was worried about has confirmed he is not buying it either.. so good day.

One more thing I want to go back to of what you said. We both believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way unto salvation. That is, His death, burial and resurrection for sins. Yes? But you said those OT saints were saved, yet the cross was hidden. How? Did they believe something different other than the cross that lead to their salvation? You always claim I believe they were saved by works. I say they were not saved like you and me. They were kept safe in Abraham’s bosom. That’s not salvation to me. You and I enjoy something completely different and better.

LUKE 13:28.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets,
in The Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

1COR. 15:50.
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit The Kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1PETER 1:10-11.
Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of The Grace
that should come unto you:
Searching what, or what manner of time The Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
when It testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

11TIM. 3:16-17.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable
for doctrine,
for reproof,
for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Often him refers to all, as in "let him who is without sin...", whereas "we were all brought up reading the bible" is simply an assumptive statement that happens not to be true. I wonder if it is even 50% so.

You would have to be born again to know. Are you born again?

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? (Joh 3:12)

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. (1Co 2:14)

And if you are born again, why are you asking?

do you see the kingdom of God ?
where is it ?
how is it looking ?
what do you see ?

and now if you see it then you can enter it
did you enter it ?

Are you a Christian?
Have you had an inner transformation or is God a mere formula or abstract concept?
Where will your eternal dwelling place be? How do you know?

2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) (For we walk by faith, not by sight

New International Version
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."

Then why the barrage of questions such as... Are you playing games or??

Never heard of google?

The real question is, after you found out, will that change the way you understand the book of James? If not, its a mute point.

Do you sacrifice a lamb every time you sin now?
Do you build an ark now?

Why don't those OT instructions apply to you?

Okay so do you agree with the rest of the argument then? That is the key question

I find your division way too narrow and simplistic. It's definitely not cut and dry between Old and New.
Take Revelation for example. Chaps 1-3 Church. Chaps 4-19- Israel/Jacobs Trouble 20-22 -all believers both Jew and Gentile.

Yep the extent on which people lean on dispensationalism varies. That is to be expected.

yes - it is game of making brilliant brains
game called - who is who and what is what

that' s the scientific game of spiritual knowledge - what makes it not simple

Maybe that's the game pseudo intellectuals play, but not disciples of Jesus.
