    Do you believe in predestination ?

    Let me try this. Imagine Alexandra has complete power over the circumstances of Barry. Imagine that Barry is an 'experimental' personality, loves to try new things, an 'early adopter' and adventurous. Now consider that Alexandra provides Barry with the circumstances that make experimenting...

    These are NOT the same gospel

    But the Lord Jesus is our high priest. That's how 1st Corinthians 15:3 works, " ...Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures...," His death was a sacrificial offering (upon the 'altar' of the cross) to the Father on behalf of His Body, the Church. It was 'priestly' what He did.

    These are NOT the same gospel

    Why does Paul say "One faith" (Eph4:5) if there is more than one faith?

    These are NOT the same gospel

    OK but even if exclusively true, and that is an open question, that doesn't support you saying "both". So that supports it being Old Covenant (which would support Dispensationalism), but how is it 'also' New Covenant then?

    Search the scriptures

    It's recorded oral tradition. And whenever we find something outside Scripture that corroborates Scripture, that's something worth looking into! They didn't have to. I mean, chronologically the Talmud wasn't written down until after Paul had died, so Paul knew the actual oral tradition of...

    These are NOT the same gospel

    So is the Gospel of the Kingdom, Kingdom Gospel, Old Covenant, or New Covenant?

    These are NOT the same gospel

    So then you agree that once you believe Paul's Gospel you no longer have a choice to not believe it?

    These are NOT the same gospel

    If "in the beginning of the gospel", the Philippian church was already there, then it must have gotten there somehow.

    These are NOT the same gospel

    So the church in the wilderness is what Paul is talking about in Philippians 4:15 when he says that, "no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only"? And actually, even the Philippian church had already existed "in the beginning of the gospel"? Who 'planted'...

    These are NOT the same gospel

    Mark 1:15 " And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Philippians 4:5 "The Lord is at hand." v. 15 " Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with...

    What say you? Is the Bride the same as the body of Christ?

    Well, the Dispies are going to say that there's no way you're going to hell, not if you believe the (right) Gospel. And Catholicism, agrees.

    Argument from silence.

    These are NOT the same gospel

    But what can that mean, aside from that once you believe Paul's Gospel, then even if you want to not believe it anymore, you have no choice anymore. That just sounds like Calvinism's "I" which is 'irresistible grace'. It means you don't have a choice. It can't mean anything else. And it...

    What say you? Is the Bride the same as the body of Christ?

    If someone says, if I steal from a neighbor, am I going to hell, what do you answer?

    Theology Club: Blinding of Israel

    MacArthur was my favorite of those, I also liked Chuck Swindoll. J. Vernon McGee was a kick as well. But eventually I started to look to see the things they'd say that revealed their theology. MacArthur didn't do that, but he basically 'backed himself into' some sort of Dispensationalism, in...

    Theology Club: Blinding of Israel

    That's part of it. You suppose or probably 'presuppose' who the audience is as you read. You're begging the question that you've correctly identified the audience, along with everything else, every little detail about the verse, whenever you set out what it means, because it's always what it...
