The Jewish church was made up of Jews and some proselytes. All the disciples were preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. Repent and be baptized....... believing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. That little flock were greatly persecuted by the Jews, and by Paul in particular...

Here is a good question. Perhaps you'll actually take a close look at this one. Who was Jesus addressing here? There were Jews everywhere hearing the message of the Kingdom being preached. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom...

Acts 27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. Acts 27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

The church in Jerusalem perhaps. One thing I do know is the believing Jews were scattered and under persecution. They were preaching Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Messiah, along with His coming Kingdom. That is what they continued to do until they were martyred (except for John...

Amen......until the church of God is taken up at the rapture. Then they'll go back to the Gospel of the Kingdom during the Tribulation. Prophecy will get back on the track it was on before Paul and this church age.

This has got to be the worst case of circular reasoning I've even seen, and I don't even know what circular reasoning is.

Just the right touch of salt there! Col. 1:6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Yep, no sense beating a dead horse.

When did he "address" the Father? We know his revelations came from the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Paul did tell us there is one mediator between God and man.

Exactly. The Lord our God is one Lord. Our Saviour. 1 Tim. 2:1-3 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all...

The body of Christ is with Him in heavenly places, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The new earth is for the Jews.

And as you said, RD, there is neither Jew nor Gentile in the body of Christ.

We should go right to the source on that one. Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

The Jews did believe that they would be the light to the Gentiles as prophecied, but they failed to recognize their King when He arrived, and so as was revealed to Paul..... Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own...

That has nothing to do with the body of Christ, nor is it talking about the church of God.

That is not talking about losing salvation, but of being unreproveable in His sight. We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ where we will be judged according to the deeds done in the body. If it's "wood, hay, stubble" it will be burned up. That speaks specifically of rewards and...

It was actually one of those street rags -- tabloid, you know. So much for the msm.

Nope. On the contrary, Paul was scolding the Corinthians for their drunken party, saying they didn't even know what the Lord's Supper was, so he explained it to them. Do you see that "remembrance" being spoken of by Paul anywhere else, I'd be interested to see them. The only Apostle you'd...

Well put. I wish I'd have thought of that.

I just saw a great "connection" between prophecy and mystery. What we're seeing in the verse below, and in all those verses like it, is prophecy. After lots of discussion about the kingdom being at hand and nigh, I think I finally see the reason. Of course they thought the kingdom would be...
