    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    Jesus needed to say that because many in the crowd were constantly seeking more works to do to be saved. Jesus simply told them that God does the work of drawing men into salvation.

    The elephant in the room

    I am from NY. I think the real problem might be? It is what they would say behind your back. If you sound like a real goy to them, they will be offended, just like I would have felt before I got saved. That is why God had Peter be the apostle to the Jews, but not everyone. Not everybody could be.

    There will be a new Temple built and functional for the millennium. Ezekiel 40:1-48:35 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2040:1-48:35&version=NIV One scholar I learn from stated that he believed the sacrifices in the Millennium will not be for man's sins. But they will be...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    When a fireman finally convinces a person in a burning house who was unwilling to leave to exit through a side window? Does that person merit glory for obeying? The fireman gets the glory. The person does not.

    The elephant in the room

    Odd... Where are you that you should have so many synagogues in the same area? That is not normal. Jews normally leave Christians alone. They have no interest in converting Christians.

    The elephant in the room

    Synagogues as a rule do not actively teach against Jesus. Most Jews do not feel any pressure to accept Jesus unless someone witnesses to them. I attended a local conservative synagogue. .....

    The elephant in the room

    I was just throwing in some divine viewpoint... God's perspective! ;) We are now involved in a process of of either maturing in Christ, or failing to do so. Either way. Both are saved. But both will not receive the same eternal rewards. We are waiting for the process to be over and done...

    The elephant in the room

    In reality? God has been done with us before we were born. We are merely catching up to knowing what He knows is to be so.

    The elephant in the room

    My sister, brother, and I grew up being modern-day Jews. We do not reject Jesus. Jews that believe in Jesus are no longer Jewish. We have become a new creation in Christ. As far as modern-day Israel? It has become a foreshadowing for prophecy concerning the land where Jews will be living...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    I was brought up Jewish. And, yes... Some of what RBT taught missed a Jewish perspective. But much of what he taught was revelatory for me. It was not until after months of study that I finally began understanding what a Jew was in biblical times. Typical Jews do not understand any of that...

    What we have is a twofold phenomenon. Greater works for us in our day will be in the expounding of God's word as understanding progressively keeps increasing over the years. Greater teaching is possible today that was not possible when Jesus walked the earth as far as insight and knowledge in...

    If I may? I suggest you order a few lessons for yourself and find out how the orthodox method for Bible interpretation can be. It should be enough for you to decide for yourself without anyone trying to convince you. What are you going to lose? Look at the financial policy...

    This pastor taught his congregation six nights a week... He studied everyday. When I was in Bible college the professor of ancient languages in Church service one night recommended him to me. The professor during WW2 was affiliated with Harvard. And, not to forget. My Jewish father who...

    You ask questions in a format that would need several hours to do justice to giving an answer that would clarify. That is not a cop out. If you want to hear the Scriptures being accurately taught? Let me know.

    The elephant in the room

    If you could see and know what the Lord promised Abraham as his future inheritance? You would soon see that what is called 'Israel' today is a mere pittance. Israel, as God is to have it to be, is still in the wings.

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    The greater works will be the advancements in expounding and explaining the Word of God.... Making understandable what it means. Much of what Jesus taught was yet to be explained. And, 99.99% of the NT Jesus could not teach from. For it was not in writing when Jesus walked the earth. The...
