Once again, Jesus was speaking to the lost sheep of Israel. However, since all scripture is given for our instruction, I think we can safely say that the oil for the lamps was the Holy Spirit, and this sure sounds like that passage in Rev. 19 where the wife was getting herself ready...

Ah, that little addition of "PAST SINS" proves you are still in the dark. You also failed to address the fact that we already have received the atonement. Do you know what that means? It means your wait until later to be saved is a bunch of malarkey. The two do not mix.

Good one. Paul was shipwrecked and that worked out really well. However, in your example, the two unfaithfull brethren were delivered to Satan.....that they may LEARN not to blaspheme. It's like when satan was allowed to torment Job for a season, even though Job did nothing wrong. (There...

The New Covenant has not come yet. It was offered, but the Jews rejected their King when He came.

Yeah, good point. Well....Judas.......for the worse, I guess.

Oh no. Don't go trans on me. ;)

Okay, notice in Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. The Lamb is definitely Jewish, and HIS WIFE has made herself ready. Israel has always been God's wife. He sorta divorced her a...

Lay it on me.

It's new, but old. It's the old....soon to be new.

Yes, they most certainly were. That's a big difference right there. No one wants to admit it? In fact, there will come a day when Israel will finally call upon the Lord. I just ran across this verse, and it warms my heart. Jeremiah 36 "I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it. Thus...

Do you think God would have a wife and a bride?

Sorry, I went the mass route and never once heard the Gospel of Grace. Grace believers aren't required to confess our sins. Instead we confess the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice the conditions.... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also...

Indeed, they'll have to wait for their Kingdom until the fulness of the Genties be come in. Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the...

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.

Alrighty then. I'm going to have to cogitate on this one. :unsure:

God doesn't need faithful men to carry out His will. He can use the basest of men and does quite often.

And that would be true if Christ hadn't resurrected from the dead. We have eternal life when we believe the gospel of grace, but our body can still die, and will need to be resurrected at the coming of the Lord.

Right you are. 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. When I start focusing on my morals, I start trying to fix them myself, and that has never worked. It's only when I give it to the Lord that the...

And none of that was the gospel that saves. Sad.

Yes, in the same way he tells us to reckon ourselves dead to sin. This puts me in mind of the Fruit of the Spirit. We have to be careful not to take credit for those things the Holy Spirit is performing in us. I think that's why Paul says to set our affections on things above....taking our...
