    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    That's the entire point of the book of James. James is writing to open their eyes to their coming Messiah. It will be a pivotal message for the twelve tribes in the last days during the tribulation. They missed out on him the first time. It is obvious that at least some of the audience had...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    Either God’s a liar or the body of Christ is not the audience. I’m going with choice B.

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    Let me give you a real-life example that had a very sad ending. I heard this true story from a preacher I listen to often. There was a woman whose husband was diagnosed with cancer and was not doing well. She went to her pastor and asked him to pray. The pastor in turn, like he should, got...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    If you disagree with my assessment, then why aren't people healed every time in this manner today? When elders of the church pray over the sick? Btw, the people of Israel were called the church back when they were in the wilderness with Moses. Church simply means congregation. Acts 7: 37...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    James 5 is not a parable nor some mysterious writing. It is stated as a literal fact. If there is someone sick among you, if so, then do this...and if you do this...the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up. One must manipulate the clear meaning of scripture in...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    Certainly, we can glean truths from any portion of God's word. We need to study and read all of it, but with the basic understanding to whom is the portion of scripture written to, to whom does the doctrine apply? If I read a portion of scripture written specifically to the Jews, I need to...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    Of God for the repentance of Israel to their Messiah. Was the instructions to build the ark of God or man? Do you believe the following verses are directed to us today? Are the sick saved every single time these directions are followed? Are sins forgiven based upon others praying for them...

    You probably think James is a Christian epistle as well. 🤦‍♂️

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    In the tribulation, the Jews will be persecuted and must endure to the end. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    The Jewish epistles of Hebrews and James are written specifically to the Jews concerning the last days before the return of their Messiah and the restoration of their promised kingdom. We can glean application from these books, but we need to be aware of forcing some of the specific doctrine...

    Moving on from the basics Heb 6:1-3

    Better yet, the failure to rightly divide the Jews and the body of Christ.

    Did not baptism of repentance begin with John the Baptist and the…..wait for it….the Jews?

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    Yes! Yet another thread failing to rightly divide the word of truth.

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    You are trying to prove something is biblical through an unbiblical practice. Not good Bible study.

    Saul of Tarsus was not saved on the road to Damascus.

    I would answer as Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain...

    Is it God or the Devil?

    Living in a fallen world. The devil cannot be in more than one place at once. I doubt I’m important enough to be messing with me. However, my flesh is with me all the time.

    Is it God or the Devil?

    Good and bad things happen in life. It’s not always somebody behind it. It’s just life.

    Help: Israelite-specific as applicable to Christians.

    One is physical promises and commandments to God's physical people Israel, but the body of Christ is the Lord's spiritual children that have been promised spiritual blessings in the heavenly places.
