Anyone willing to tell us exactly what Paul is referring to when he writes of "THE Mystery" here?: " Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and (kai) the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world...

First of all, I did not correctly spell "exegesis" so my apologies. SaulToPaul is so confused that he actually thinks that Paul addressed these words to unsaved people: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry...

Here SaulToPaul says that the 'Dispensation of the gospel" began in Acts 9. The only gospel being preached at Acts 9 is this one Paul preached in the synagogues of the Jews: "And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God...proving that this is the very...

On another thread SaulToPaul said: Since he asserts that the 'dispensation of the grace of God" began shortly after Acts 28 then doesn't that make him an Acts 28 dispensationalist? Perhaps he will give us his evidence from the Scriptures which lead him to believe this?

Earlier, after much discussion, I asked SaulToPaul the following question: So according to your ideas the people who made up the church at Rome were not saved when Paul wrote his epistle to them and at that time they were not in the Body of Christ. Is that right? STP answered by saying: If...

"And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree" (Ro.11:17). The "Olive Tree" does not represent the Church, which is His Body. Neither does it represent Israel. Instead...

On another thread, STP said that those belonging to the church at Rome were not in the Body of Christ when they received Paul's epistle: Are the words here in "bold" are not speaking of the Body of Christ but some other body? "For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not...

Why do those in the Pseudo-MAD community assert that the Jews who lived under the law could not be saved unless they did works, especially with these words of Paul in front of them?: "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not...

According to this passage all who "believe" in the Lord Jesus have eternal life: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life" (Jn.3:14-15; NASB). With these words in view how can anyone...

On the Berean Bible Website we read the following about MAD author J.C. O'Hair: "Pastor O’Hair was, without a doubt, the one person who, more than any other, was used of God to establish among believers what Paul, by inspiration calls, “the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation...

What "good news" of Christ which saved was first preached to the Jews?: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" (Ro.1:16). Can anyone answer this question, especially anyone...

Who are the "other sheep" which are mentioned by the Lord Jesus here?: "I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd" (Jn.10:16).

In the KJV we see a translation at Matthew 26:17 which says that the first day of the feast of unleavened bread preceded the Passover: "Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?"...

Those believers who received the epistle of James are members of the Body of Christ. They were taught that the Lord Jesus could appear at the rapture at any moment, the same thing Paul taught. Paul Sadler, one of the chief spokesmen within the Neo-MAD movement, says the following about the...

Here are three quotes from the pen of Paul where he speaks of a "dispensation" that has been committed or given to him: "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you" (Eph. 3:2). "Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which...

Let us look at this verse and the Greek word translated "for": "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for (hyper) every man" (Heb.2:9). In this verse the Greek word...

The Apostle Paul repeatedly used the words "free" and "liberty" when referring to the fact that those in the Body of Christ have been set free from the law: "And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that...

Paul Sadler, the President of the Berean Bible Society and one of the chief spokesmen of the Neo-MAD view, says that salvation according to the gospel of circumcision could not be achieved apart from "works": "We should add that the gospel of the circumcision and the gospel of the kingdom are...

I see no evidence that the present "dispensation of the grace of God" began at Acts 9. Here are three quotes from the pen of Paul where he speaks of a "dispensation" that has been committed or given to him: "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you"...

The Apostle Paul repeatedly used the words "free" and "liberty" when referring to the fact that those in the Body of Christ have been set free from the law: "And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that...
