This is a great post. I like the thinking. And I hear about your thoughts on all Israel throughout the ages. One verse that makes me think otherwise is the following: Romans 11:28 NLT - "Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are...

Are we helping others to become set free from the controlling, evil "flesh" that causes children of the Devil to disobey? Galatians 5:24 KJV – “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” Let's make sure that we don't strip Christ of His Effectual Power...

According to Paul's own words, he was separated and alienated from God. Colossians 1:21 NLT - "This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions." Because Paul was begging for a Savior in R7, wouldn't this indicate the...

And then we run into this little passage: Acts 25:8 CSB - "Then Paul made his defense: "Neither against the Jewish law, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned in any way." Unless Paul is a liar, he clearly states that he has not sinned against the Jewish Law, nor against the...

I hear what you're saying. In my studies of Romans 11-13 today, I walked away feeling like the Jewish Nation will always be recognized, and Loved, as His Blessed Chosen Ones. I understand that you're saying the Jews were LIKE the Gentiles in their Spiritual Status, but they are definitely...

Well, one thing we know is this: The source of evil certainly isn't Satan, for the defeat of Satan is the Purpose of Christ in his First Advent. Once the Power of Satan has been pulled from the new believer, they will undergo the process of Sanctification. If the Devil is no longer the...

I had to stop right there. What are you talking about? Why would you talk to a Christian Brother like that? Look, just because you all devour each other like wolves . . . doesn't mean that I'm doing that to you. So if that's your approach, my friend . . . we won't communicate. I am not here to...

He certainly did teach things were Righteous and Holy. But were these his teachings, or the teachings of God through him? I would certainly never, never suggest that a believer read of his disgusting lust for women, shagging them like all the others before his current women meant nothing. I...

Love this story! And it is so true, that we need to not judge by what we see on the outside, but judge by what is on the inside. Unfortunately, we live in such a dangerous and scary world, it might be wise for Christians to dress like it. :) Then again, God does as He does . . . who am I to...

Yes! There are so many examples of the Remnant in the Old Testament. How about the Remnant brought out of Captivity and back into the Holy Land. They all united with one mind and purpose. But perhaps even within the first generation after having come home, the Blessed Jews went right back at...

Exactly! I agree, which is why I wrote the following: "I would use the life of Solomon to teach anything other than Righteousness and Holiness." Careful! I never said that Solomon should be ignored. :)

I CANNOT . . . CANNOT believe that I forgot about the 144,000!!!! Question: Do you believe that this number is based upon those who are alive with beating hearts, or at these people of the dead, or are they a combination of both dead and living being caught into the sky with Christ? I...

You may very well be right about these things! :D - However, it would take a leap of faith for a new believer to trust that Solomon repented of child sacrifice. People who sacrifice living children to the Devil belong to the Devil. What was his actual role? Scripture doesn't tell us. He may not...

Wow. This is another very interesting thought that I've never heard or considered before. Jesus is the human and Christ is the Messiah. Is that what you mean? I love it.

Ok. When I read this I said out loud, "What a trip." That thought has never crossed my mind, which means that I've never heard it before. That's what I'm talking about! But . . . will these Jews, now turned Israel, be grafted back in? So, when Paul wrote the following, are you saying that the...

Do share your thoughts! :)

Love it! Say, I read the last chapter of Ecclesiastes and I'm not seeing that a specific person changed their life. Can you show me those passages please? :) Thank you so much, SB!

I find it to be very interesting that everything you convey makes perfect sense, as if we have been led down the same study path . . . perhaps by the same God? Wouldn't that be a novel idea for a place like this? haha So, I do have another issue that has always bothered me. Check out the...

Right! This is what Romans 2:27-28 is about . . . True Jews are actually True Christians according to the Covenant of Circumcision. Romans 2:28-29 NLT - "For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish parents or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. 29 No...

Yes! All of this makes perfect sense. I just started writing on Romans 8-10 yesterday, and am, of course, dealing with Rom 9:6 as you have quoted above. By the way, I wanted to say that indirectly, God did make a Covenant with the Gentiles, but through the Promise that God gave to Abraham...
