I think Tam is just in a bad mood. The donkey has kicked in. 🙃

No, look at the context. It's talking about the end days...which means it's talking about Israel.

It was already written in prophecy.

What, no faith that Jesus can finish the work He started in us? Filled and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption isn't good enough? Phil. 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Promises like the above...

I didn't say that, did I? But I'm confident that He is able to perform what He started in me. My faith is in Jesus Christ....not in myself. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Don't forget that Paul is speaking of the nation of Israel, not individuals. Clearly there were some individual Jews who accepted Paul's gospel. Then they became part of the church of God.

No, Paul says this: There is neither Jew nor Gentile (Greek).....ye are all one in Christ Jesus. These are the believers (church). Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neithermale nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Colossians...

You'll see this is a prophecy concerning Israel. Jesus was a minister to the circumcision. Psalm 118: 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 3 Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his mercy endureth for...

Reborn of God? God's seed? NT, which is God's covenant with Israel? Abraham, the Father of Faith, didn't please God? He didn't please God when he offered up Isaac? David, a man after God's own heart didn't please God? Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be...

Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Oh, so you're saying David and Abraham could not please God?

Exactly. It was the same when God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Besides, there have been lots of Jews who have been saved by hearing Paul's gospel. The old gal who first preached the gospel to me, Ruth, was a "completed Jew"...as she labeled herself.

He went one better. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

This sounds an awful lot like, "Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it?" So why? Because God is not able to keep those who have come to Him for salvation? Because being sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise is not good enough?

They weren't in church. Peter is speaking to those who have been scattered among the gentiles because of persecution. He's saying they could have started walking in the same idolatries as those people around them. Those people thought it strange that the Jews had not started acting like them...

Do you seriously think that God is not able to keep those who have been sealed with the Holy Spirit?

That is referring to the Jews. Read what it says. Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Put off your pride. It's so unbecoming. I told you to post a verse so I'd know in what weird direction you were going. Don't be explaining any verses to me since you have no spiritual understanding. Proving once again that you are stuck in prophecy and know nothing of the mystery...

1. What do those "believing Jews" you speak of believe in exactly? Be specific. 2. By the "rest of believers" are you referring to the church of God (which has neither Jew nor Gentile)? The church has no covenant of redemption, but Israel does. Maybe that's what you're confused about...

The problem is that the majority of responders can see clearly that you don't know how to preach the gospel. And that is what we are called to do. You've made it so complicated, you'd never be invited out to do any street preaching. They'd have to just leave you home. Perhaps you should...

Don't yell at me. You're the one who said this. "To circle back to the purpose of the OP: do you see any ways in which the church according to the apostles foundation has shifted in our churches?" The OP is about the churches in the book of Revelation. You didn't say the foundation of the...
