    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Applying doctrine to the correct audience. In other words, the whole bible is written FOR us, but not all of it is written TO us. All of the bible is written for our learning, but not all of it is written for our obedience. Right division simply recognizes which parts of the bible is written...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    That's not what the verse states. With your logic, it would be impossible to preach the gospel unto all the world, because there are always people being born into the world. Bottom line, in Paul's day, what he stated was the truth. Paul was not lying. All the world, all creatures under...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    All the world, every creature under heaven, to all nations...what Paul preached simply was not the gospel of the kingdom, or the world would have ended some 2,000 years ago. Colossians 1: 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Here's the question Jesus was answering: Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    And then, the end of the world will come... The gospel that Paul preached had gone out to all the world, every nation, and to every creature under heaven. My point is, what Paul preached is not the gospel of the kingdom, but the gospel of the grace of God.

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Your post, Yea it’s pretty clear I’d say lol “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ My question to you is, has the end of the world come? Why not? Is not the gospel been...

    Colossians 1: 5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Preaching the kingdom of God and preaching the gospel of the kingdom are two different things. Paul never preached the gospel of the kingdom, but the gospel of the grace of God. The gospel of the grace of God is the only gospel that should be preached during this dispensation. The gospel of...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    I have heard it said that Paul doesn't lay claim to the book of Hebrews as he does with his other epistles, because the Lord doesn't want the body of Christ thinking the book of Hebrews was written doctrinally to them, the body of Christ, but to the Hebrew people after the fulness of the...

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Everytime he preached the cross, it was to his disciples and his disciples had no clue what he was talking about. Peter even rebuked Jesus for mentioning his death. Luke 18: 31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written...

    what is it to believe Is it simply acknowledging Jesus enough, or does belief require us to take certain actions or steps?

    Romans chapter 4 is dedicated to this question using Abraham as a type. To believe means to be fully persuaded that, what God has promised, he is able also to perform. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So...

    Understanding God’s election

    Don't miss out on the word "according" which takes the context back to verse 3. The context is not us, but what God has chosen to give those who are in Christ.

    Understanding God’s election

    Aside from the insults, you did not answer my question. God desires us to prayer. He has instructed us to pray. Prayer matters to God. God's heart is reachable, touchable with our prayers. Our prayers can cause God to move on our behalf, move in ways that left to their own, would have never...

    John 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto...
