I know the word "first" gets filtered in your pharisee-supremacist mind to mean more favored, or more important, or first in everything now, but let's look at what Paul meant by "first":

1) first to have the gospel proclained to them (done)
2) first to receive tribulation and anguish for disbelieving the gospel (done 70 AD)
3) first to receive God's honor, glory and peace for believing the gospel (done)
They are FIRST alright. Get used to it.

Do you have any more verses to support your supremacist beliefs? How about these? Do these help?

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:26-29
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Colossians 3:10-11
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Romans 2:28-29
Christ is all that matters and is in all. Did you get that?
 
This is heartbreaking. "The blood won't come off". Please pray with me that God will deliver this woman from the grips of the beast that sanctions and encourages the anti-human crime she committed, and give her faith and open her eyes to know that Christ forgives her and will wash away her guilt and cleanse her conscience. I see grief in her smiles, not happiness at what she did

 
We have discovered one teensy weensy little flaw in Trump's "madman brinksmanship" plan. Threatening to kill everyone doesn't work on people who embrace martyrdom.

I went thru my own Bible thumper lite phase in a sense.

I see so now you just throw the Bible in the trash and just make stuff up as you go along?

What is your source of Truth? Jesus said it's God's Word and you know the Lord had His Word put in to written form.

Jesus said the Holy Ghost would lead us in to ALL Truth (John 16:13),
and Jesus said God's Word IS Truth (John 17:17)

1 Peter 1:22 tells us our soul is purified by obeying the truth

John 17:17
Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy word is Truth.

Sounds like you are in deep trouble and are too blind to even know it...



God's luck to you.

There's no such thing as "luck" The term is demonic as it denies God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap (Gal 6:7,8)

Oh I see that you forgot to mention that indeed the Kingdom will be RESTORED to the Nation Israel. This as a result of their National corporate repentance and receiving their Kinsman Redeemer.

Just think: you and I can rejoice together in its certain fulfillment!

Isa 60:5 - Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.

Isa 60:7 - All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

Isa 60:9 - Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

Isa 60:10 - And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

Isa 60:11 - Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

Isa 60:14 - The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Isa 60:16 - Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

Isa 66:10 - Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:

Isa 66:12 - For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

Isa 62:1 - For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

Isa 62:2 - And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

Isa 62:4 - Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

Isa 62:12 - And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

On the contrary, at this point my ambition is to handle the text with surgical precision and the utmost respect.

OK so you are a bible thumper then.

Those that don't care what God says in His Word or otherwise ignore His Word call those who accept His Word "bible thumpers" because they quote what God says in His Word as being Truth

I think someone should make a cool looking t-shirt with Bible Thumper in big bold letters

Maybe coil a new phrase - Bible Thumper devil dumper :cool:

Ah look man, vacuous insipid opinions are like fleas. They are unwanted bloodsucking pests.

If you have any legit Biblical teaching or exegetical treatment to offer by all means edify us.

Please quote relevant Bible passages when doing so.

You seem to think Isaiah is speaking to Jews rather than to God's Jerusalem, which is above and the mother of all who believe. Pro-tip: he's speaking to the latter.

For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Galatians 4:25-26

Justice needs to be served!! If she had faith in God, this never would’ve happened.

We don’t turn our heads pretending it never happened. I hope she repents, before justice is served.

Christ can set her free so she doesn't have to face justice. It looks to me like she has remorse, which is the type of heart Jesus can heal.

For judgment is merciless to the one not having mercy, and mercy rejoices over judgment. James 2:13
 
In multiple lectures, Sproul says things like:


“When we speak of the Reformed tradition, we are speaking of a system of theology…”

********************************************************************

1. What Is Reformed Theology?




He uses the phrase explicitly to tie doctrine to a historical stream, not just ideas.




2. Grace Unknown




Here he connects Calvinistic soteriology directly to the Reformed tradition as a continuous heritage.




3. Teaching series (Ligonier Ministries lectures)​


In multiple lectures, Sproul says things like:




He consistently defines it as a coherent, systematized body of doctrine, not just denominational identity.




4. Chosen by God


While the exact phrase appears less often, he clearly situates the teaching:
I see. So this so called reformed theology is a doctrine of men who labels people who use Scripture to discredit man-made doctrine as reformists?
