Sin/sins is NOT THE ISSUE today! All of the work necessary to save anyone today was accomplished by God through the faith and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ in the WORLD'S place; that includes ALL MEN (no matter who they are, where they've been or what they were doing while they were...
Reconciliation is bringing two parties together by solving the problem that caused them to be separated. It denotes change: change from enemies to friends.
2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

I wrote this some time ago, but since I've recently opened a thread about 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV I thought I'd blog it! Happy studying the approved unto God way! :)
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth...
The Lord already had his 12 men (Matthew 10:1-4 KJV) preaching the gospel of the kingdom/ the kingdom of heaven is at hand and later Matthias replaced Judas being numbered with the eleven (Acts 1:25-26 KJV) restoring the number of them to 12 who were preaching a gospel and will in the future...

They're argument: It's all the same!
We've said many times that there is more than one church in the Bible.
Moses had a "church in the wilderness" Acts 7:38 KJV
Jesus promised to build His "my church" Matthew 16:18 KJV
And even still, a third: where Christ is the Head of "the church...
I keep seeing people claim that water baptism is commanded for members of the Body of Christ, but they never back up that statement with scripture.
Paul is the apostle of the Gentiles (Romans 11:13 KJV). We're to follow him (1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJV). And if he wrote to us the commandment of...
Where are the men and women who are "MAD" who once contended for the faith on TOL? There are several who, as Tom Petty would sing, "don't come around here no more". There are a few that log in, but never comment in threads about the gospel or rightly dividing the word of truth. I wonder where...
Peter preached Israel's sins being blotted out when they times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord which is what many refer to as the second coming of the Lord.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing...

The "mystery of the gospel" (Ephesians 6:19 KJV) is not "the gospel" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV).
The mystery of the gospel is:
Ephesians 3:6 KJV That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
"The Gentiles" like...
1 John 1:9 KJV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9 KJV means exactly what it says, as it says it and to whom it says it. It is just not written to me for my obedience, nor anyone else in the...
There are many baptisms in the Bible, but there is only ONE baptism today and it is BY ONE SPIRIT into ONE BODY (not "of the Holy Ghost" and not "by man into the water" ) .
1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether...
I keep seeing people say that the middle wall of partition was between "Jew and Gentile", but is that really who it was between? Here's what I believe the King James Bible shows.
The Gentiles to whom Paul was first sent (Greeks) in the Acts period were under the handwriting of ordinances...
Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
There are two groups that make up that "one body", "fellowheirs, and of...
