I see what you mean. The Covenant with Israel concerning the Decalogue (which was only to Israel and no other people) involved also the Law. Jesus said "the Law would not pass till all be fulfilled" (Mat 5:18). His sacrifice was the fulfilling of the Law. This covenant was replaced by the new...

It depends on what you mean by "old covenant." If you mean the Law, it was fulfilled when Christ ascended to the Father. The Decalogue, which was only for the Jews, has been "taken away" (Heb 10:9), in order to establish the new present Covenant.

Hi, and thanks for your interest! The Decalogue was for only for the Hebrews and Jews. Not sure what else you mean.

Some Israel Eschatological Passages Isa 4:2, 3; 26:19 Dan 12:1-3 Eze 20:33, 34; 37:1-4, 11-14 “It requires no profound study to observe that the earthly, Messianic, Davidic kingdom was offered by John the Baptist, by Christ and by His disciples, that it was rejected even to the murder of...

There is not much concern, nor much direct Scriptural reference (but a great amount of Scriptural inference by the OT prophets and NT passages) to the Eschatology of Israel; so it is expected that not many believers will find much interest in the theology relating to this subject. But when will...

It is only in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ that we have truth fully brought out. I will learn truth through the Holy Spirit, and He is the only power of my knowing the truth, and is therefore called “Truth” in 1 John 5:6 (and is “the Spirit of Truth; Jhn 14:17; 15:26; 16:13; 1Jo 4:6)...

“Put Off … The Old Man” (Eph 4:22) God always takes the initiative in salvation. Before He asks or expects man to act, He has acted. The work of the Lord Jesus in salvation is a completed work. What the Father has made true for us positionally, He longs to make real in us experientially...

Concerning Israel and her relation to the land it is written: “trust in the lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land”; “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever”; “For the upright shall dwell in the land’ (Psa 37:3, 29; Pro 2:21). No land had been given to the...

Hi, and appreciate the replies!

No matter the size of the trial it’s always the same issue—waiting it out, so we can continue to grow in our trust and faith in God! One of the most important growth truths is the fact that God always “works all things together for good to them that love God” (Ro 8:28). So, regardless the type...

Hi, and thanks for the reply! Saints can feel guilt, but saints can't be guilty because of Christ's expiation for their sin. The sins of the believer are not the same as when unsaved. The sins are less frequent, less severe (impulsive, like envy, jealousy, etc.) and are not "willful" (Heb...

In the NT the word “flesh” means “old man” or sin nature nearly every time it’s used; the OT usage is always in reference to the physical body. Romans 8:9 gives the saint the most “exhorting” word! It speaks of the sin nature (“flesh”) being in the believer, but the believer is not in the sin...

Hi, and thanks for asking! It means "not being one of a pair : SINGLE." Thus, the intension is to show that the OT "people of God" are not paired or included it the Church and Body of Christ, as many think they are. The Jews who believe in God (but not in Christ) will finally inherit the...

Certain schools of theology, mainly Covenant (a), contend that the Church in her present form is but a continuation of God’s one purpose from the beginning of the human family (b). They speak of an “Old Testament Church” and seek to relate this to the one Body that constitutes the New Testament...

The Traditional translations include more that just the KJV, there's also Webster's Bible; Young's Literal Translation Bible to name a couple. Bibles like these are derived by using the Majority Text and the Textus Receptus (Received Text), which derive from about 4500 manuscripts, unlike the...

Yes, it’s another article on Bible translations! I believe the issue of false Bibles is important enough to continue plugging at the problem. The Word established our Faith and salvation; and it’s the Word that causes the believer to grow “in the unity of the faith” (Eph 4:13). “Exhort One...

Man is a “frail” creature! Even saints, who do their most to “please” God (Phl 2:13). Though they still possess the sin nature—it no longer possess them, by causing them to desire sin (Rom 8:9). The primary infirmity of the believers is knowing and hating the “old man”; and thou they still sin...

John Gill (1697-1771) Verse 19. “Because that which may be known of God,....“ There are some things which could not be known of God by the light of nature; as a trinity of persons in the Godhead; the knowledge of God in Christ as Mediator; the God-man and Mediator Jesus Christ; his incarnation...

One cannot go in and out of faith. It's either genuine or one truly doesn't have faith. Once faith is obtained it moves you continuously forward to maturity in Christ image; it never goes backward! If one truly "draws back into perdition" (Heb 10:38, 39), he has never had faith and has yet to...

That is just one who "thought" he believed in God, but really didn't. If one truly believes--it's permanent. The primary means of knowing one believes is in consistency; if it's hypocrisy, they will eventually permanently discontinue professing Christianity.
