So, I'm thinking your entire point is really whether Peter taught a gospel that was different than Paul's. And, if that's your point, then I guess you have a good one. What gospel exactly did Peter preach?

I'm betting we all know of such cases, but the thing is kept so under wraps many people remain blind.

A person should never continue preaching what can be proven incorrect. Which is why we have these discussions.

Doesn't Paul say, "let him be accursed"? Paul isn't telling anyone to call people out and curse them. Sounds like he is calling on God to do it when necessary. And rightly so...."6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel...

The point is that this is a forum for discussing topics that are brought up. If you aren't open to other opinions on the matter then you will continue to be frustrated. Let it flow....you might even learn something.

I don't think this has anything to do with towns. I think if Peter or any one else came and preached water baptism or commandment keeping to those who had been saved by faith, he should be rebuked even blamed even accursed, although I don't think Peter would do that. Look at our old friend...

That must be one of the altars in the Jewish Temple. One of incense (prayers, I'm thinking), the Brazen altar, don't know about that one, or the one where the offering is burnt. We should look into that. Jesus had a spiritual body before He resurrected. I just get the impressions, when I...

I'm pretty sure Paul says "to you". Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than...

I believe they are with the Lord, not in some compartment, and they could very well have their spiritual bodies, unless these are those who came out of the great Tribulation. There will be a resurrection for their bodies at the second coming. By this time, the rapture has taken place and the...

I think it shows how serious it is to preach a gospel of works to those who have been saved by grace. See how James teaches something different than Paul? John's letters, too, are way different than Paul's and I don't believe they are addressed to Gentiles. Personally, I believe that all...

It's a common term akin to age of Grace. You haven't heard of the different ages? Notice how Paul's letters are written to the churches? Paul actually calls it a Dispensation. Eph. 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by...

God knows we can do it when we come to Him. Without Him, we choose evil - free will and all in this world of sin.

Therein lies the problem. Micah 6: 11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? 12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

He is also famous for having a hair trigger temper.

So, as I understand it. If anyone came and preached a gospel of water baptism and works to those saved by Grace through faith they were to be accursed. That would include those who preached any kind of works including commandment keeping.

Interesting. What about the souls under the altar saying, How long, Lord? Rev. 6:9-10 9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying...

First I'll say this part in blue is a fly in your ointment. Paul has no doubt whatsoever that all believers are eternally secure in their salvation. And if "absent from the body" = "present with the Lord", but we might not be accepted of Him in the judgment of vs 10, how secure are we in our...

I may have to cover this in more than one post. You bring up so many interesting points. We know Paul says we are body, soul, and spirit. Clearly they are distinct. 1 Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your...

Could be. I can't remember to tell you the truth.

So, I'm not seeing any real difference between the body and the bride of Christ. What am I missing?
