By the way. Almost forgot. It's recorded in MY Dispenasationalism's Gospel (John) exactly why Jesus preached the 'DBR' to the future Apostles, even though they didn't understand Him: John 14:27 " Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let...

You set that out very succinctly, thank you.

If the rate of infection among the unvaccinated is equal to the infection rate among the vaccinated, then that statistic should be compelling enough all by itself, but the reality could be that the rate of infection among the unvaccinated is substantially lower than it is among the vaccinated...

I think it will too. So I'm going to delay it a bit. Christ preached the 'DBR' all right, that much is clear as a bell, and the most important part of this record, in all the 'synoptics', is that he was preaching it to all His future Apostles except one, the mighty Paul. All of them heard Him...

It's certainly clear that His disciples didn't understand, believe, 'get it', but that doesn't mean 'different Gospel' which is what you're attempting to demonstrate.

That's an interesting point. What part of the Gospel of the Kingdom or the Kingdom Gospel has Him as NOT its KING? Maybe there's even ANOTHER Gospel that not even the DISPIES have dreamed up.

Because whether or not someone believes you when you preach the Gospel to them has no bearing on whether you actually preached it to them! Why are you even asking this question?! SCRIPTURE SAYS they didn't. I didn't think you were kidding. I just noticed in the next sentence out of your...

It kind of hinges on what Paul means in Romans 15:16 " That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable" I don't think that he means that the Gentiles are the offering, I think he means that...

Yeah, OK. But my point was that this apparently novel idea about how to get 'fresh eyes' on the truths of Scripture and God has been 'done to death' already, and that's why we all have these different theoretical understandings of Scripture. The time is come to have these different...

That cannot POSSIBLY be the measure of whether He actually preached it. Irrelevant!

This included specific sins and sin offerings and rituals. Sins in the Old Covenant were not necessarily sins in the New, but 'practicing', 'religious' and 'devout' Jewish people weren't barred from continuing to celebrate Old Testament liturgy during the period from Christ to AD 70 when both...

But the disciples were not the only ones preaching the Gospel in the Gospels----the Lord Jesus was there also, and He was preaching the death, burial and Resurrection. And that's not the end of the story either.

Even more reason to think Acts 1:20 is fulfilled by God's "chosen vessel" in Acts 9:28 rather than by lot. Compare Acts 1:26 " Matthias . . . was numbered with the eleven apostles," and Acts 9:26 " And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they...

Yeah you're right. It just says Paul "was with them"----it's not very clear that the reason "he was with them" was because he had passed muster with them. Acts 9:28

It shouldn't take any work to defeat that accusation.

Literally nothing Catholic about it. It's an idea. It's a hypothesis which is sustained in my view by both the evidence and by logical analysis. The evidence doesn't conflict with it. I'm aware of that risk. It's not pertinent here, like with the Resurrection of Christ the evidence is...

Excellent hypothesis. Excellent evidence supporting your claim (there are four distinct accounts of the story of Jesus already in the Bible which have already been accepted as Scripture from the beginning of the whole Church). We don't say that Matthew and Mark and Luke and John were all...

And also 'in the flesh.' Paul's account is consistent with a literal physical visitation by Jesus. John's Revelation is John's writing after an also equally 'in the flesh' revelation as Paul, with the resurrected and ascended Christ. It's interesting to contrast what Paul wrote after such an...

Yes, understood.

Whether or not we're unconscious in death, once you die, then you won't be afraid of death anymore. That's all I was saying.
