    How did His sheep get lost?

    Your argument is baseless because it is based on the idea that before someone can be "lost" he must first belong and only the Jews belonged. But the following verse demonstrates that from birth all people belong to the LORD: "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb...

    Acts 2:38 and the gift of the Holy Spirit

    You said that the moment a person believes he is conformed / transformed to His image. Have you already been made in the likeness of the Lord Jesus and therefore never sin? Have you ever considered actually buying a Bible and reading it?

    How did His sheep get lost?

    so you realize that the verse you quoted that speaks of lost is not in regard to the nation of Israel but instead "individuals." So in what way did individual Jews "belong" before they were lost?

    Acts 2:38 and the gift of the Holy Spirit

    Do you not understand that one of the meanings of the Greek word translated "image" is "likeness"? At the rapture the believrs will be conformed to a body "like" the glorious Bidy of the Lord Jesus. You may be smart but your Spiritual I.Q. is practically non-existent and you pride is off the...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    Was the whole nation (every individual Jew) "lost" in this passage you quoted?: " But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God...

    Acts 2:38 and the gift of the Holy Spirit

    No believer will be "conformed" to the image of the Lord Jesus until the rapture: "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    Ozos, i asked you what you mean by belonging. In answer you said: Israel was a chosen nation, by God. They were His. He gave them the Law, promises, covenants, etc., but they often went astray and were lost. However, the verse you quoted which speaks of being lost (2 Cor.4:3) is speaking...

    Acts 2:38 and the gift of the Holy Spirit

    The lord Jesus said the following: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life" (Jn.6;63). Before a person could be baptized with water they had to first believe (Acts 8:37) so a person is saved by being...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    After being resurrected and shortly before the day of Pentecost the Lord Jesus told His apostles the following: “He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    Clete, thanks for your comments and I believe you are correct in what you say. But let us return to the subject of this thread: How did His sheep get lost? It is impossible that the sheep spoken of in the following passage by the Lord Jesus will ever get lost; "My sheep hear my voice, and I...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    What's your point? Do you deny that Paul quoted the following verse from the OT and applies it to those in the Body: "As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter" (Ro.8:36). At the time he quoted those words Christians faced the...

    How did His sheep get lost?

    So you admit that the Israelites were merely being "compared to sheep and were not really sheep. Here Paul is comparing those in the Body to sheep: "As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter" (Ro.8:36). So what's the difference...
