The Old Testament saints were born again in the same manner as the New Testament saints are, which includes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 63:11)

The world/natural man cannot receive the Spirit of truth John 14:17.

Just curious, how do you define "the lost sheep of the house of Israel". And do you believe that Jacob who is surnamed Israel represents spiritual Israel?

Can you honestly make the judgement that Judas is not a child of God? Scripture tells us that he was a birth child of Jacob. God says in Luke 1:33 that he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. God's children, when they are walking in the flesh...

If you want to know why these people were "in earnest", they all are eternally saved. They are his sheep. Christ's Father gave them to Christ and Christ gave them eternal life. (John 10:26-29) You have no knowledge of the meaning of "saved". Look it up. Strongs concordance says that it...

Case opened again. All of the scriptures must harmonize, if you are to understand the truths contained within them. John 6:37 explains who it is that will "COME" to him, and it is not the natural man. Only those that have been borne by spiritual birth.

None of the above. The natural man is spiritually dead in sins, as we all are when we are born into this world by natural birth. Eph 2:1-5 explains the transition of the natural man in becoming a spiritual man, especially verse 5 - Even when we were dead in sins, hath he quickened us together...

Those who are born of the Spirit are the only people that can make good choices concerning spiritual things, although they often do not because of their fleshly nature. The natural man, who has not been born of the Spirit, makes bad choices. Even when he appears to make good choices, they are...

You ignore the fact that "salvation" is a deliverance, and the scriptures reveal that, the people of God, have many deliverances as they sojourn here on earth.

If you don't mind, give me your interpretation of 1 Cor 2:14.

You do realize, I hope, that the reason that you make all of these good choices, is the fact that you have been born again. The natural person, before he has been born again, will not, and even, cannot make spiritual choices (1 Cor 2:14)

You have just confirmed that, the people of God, those who have already been born of the Spirit understand spiritual things. It is the natural man, who has not been born of the Spirit, that receiveth "NOT" the things of the Spirit, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I agree with you on that one.

According to 1 Cor 2:14, can the natural man make a choice to choose anything of a spiritual nature before he has been born of the Spirit?

Would you consider that the "all men" in Acts 17:30 has reference to his "offspring" mentioned in verse 29, and not all of mankind? Isaiah 61:9 - And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, they are the seed...

Psalms 8:2 "has ordained strength". Matt 21:16 "hath perfected praise"

Where did you get your information from. pertaining to what you are saying here?

According to 1 Cor 2:14, The natural man receives not the things of the Spirit: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. God hid the mystery of Christ's doctrine from spiritual Israel, which are not his enemy, but are his disobedient...

Jacob, surnamed "ISRAEL", represents spiritual Israel, in whom God has blinded the eyes of most of them to the understanding of the doctrine of Christ. because they began to worship idols instead of him, and they are known as "the lost sheep of the house spiritual Israel, but God has left a...
