You can't use John for anything. Your verse or this one? 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. The only reason we don't "sin" is because we are not under the law, and sin is transgression of the law. We do plenty of things wrong, but...

Daniel might be over my head tonight, but the rest certainly fits. Better than my idea, I'm thinking.

1. Is correct 2. is trying to mush together the "little flock" of Kingdom believers with members of the body of Christ, so it misses the mark. The church in Jerusalem or the little flock was made up of Jews (and proselytes) who accepted Christ as their Messiah. They were mostly Jews who...

To be honest, I can't imagine Paul saying anything different than the Gospel he preaches. Someone mentioned maybe Paul had a dual purpose and message, but I really think we can rule out Paul as the author of Hebrewsl. I also think we can rule out this Timothy as being Paul's close companion...

What? Still not answered? Perhaps if you'll be more concise with what you're asking, I might be able to tell you. You're basing your question on some assumption, and I'll need to know what that assumption is.

Yep, we didn't have to wait, but the kingdom saints will not have their sins blotted out until He sets up His Kingdom. Notice how Peter puts this, " Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." We are...

Yeah, I have to agree. I love those little clues. Thanks, brother. Until we meet again under similar circumstances. :) Oh.....Peter has some more information hidden there in that bit of mention of Paul. I'm very curious about the "wisdom" Paul wrote. One would expect it was his gospel...

What does Paul say? Romans 1:13-15 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the...

Yes, indeed. I'm sure that word got out to Jews everywhere, and Paul probably made sure it was sent to the scattered....through Peter probably.

Oh yeah, I get it now. You're absolutely right. It can't be Paul or the 12. 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

Absolutely. Wait. I'm not sure about that.

Yeah, you're right about Peter, James, and John, but why didn't they mention their own names like they did in their letters? Or did they. I'm having a mental lapse here. Yes, it's definitely looking for a near future coming of the Kingdom. Maybe Paul thought if he signed his name, they'd...

And why would we put ourselves under any law, especially when the Spirit interprets our groanings? Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be...

Sadly, the catholic church keeps people from ever hearing the simple gospel of grace. Without which, in this age, is the only way to salvation. I was a catholic, went to catholic school, did all the rigmorole and had NO idea we could be saved by grace. Most other churches now days are no...

Paul is not speaking of the inability of a person who walks according to the spirit, but of those who willfully walk according to the flesh. Which is why Paul tells us to reckon ourselves dead to sin. Because we are dead to sin, and do not have to give in to the lusts of the flesh. We are...

I have a grandson who will love this. He's really into drawing eyes.

Okay, well and good. Let's put Paul aside for just a minute and talk about the writer's intent. God has a plan for Israel, as well as for the body of Christ. There will be Jews, saved under the kingdom gospel (if they endure to the end). And this message in Hebrews is for those who have...

Ah, I knew it. The Little Flock. Determining the audience is an important task for dispensational Bible study. The book of Hebrews hosts so large a controversy over the author that the audience is often overlooked. Just as important as the author in determining application is the audience...

Romans is called the Romans Road for a reason. Paul was teaching what had been revealed by the Risen Lord about the Jews and the gentiles. All kinds of gentiles from all periods of time. Paul also talks about gentiles only under the law of their conscience. He does the same with the Jews...

Would you stop? I haven't had a chance to look at this with fresh eyes. ;)
