You were talking to me, but it looks like Danoh makes more sense to you than I do. Let him answer your questions.
Since when do the MADs on here not address something posted to another MAD?
We each do that all the time...I'd always taken that as people who hold to a similar understanding on one thing or another (more or less) addressing the particular poster who's question, statement, or whatever, is actually addressing MAD itself, not the particular MAD.
Read through a few threads, see if that is not our pattern.
But some of you can be a bit overly sensitive.
If anything, my post was in support of what you posted to 1 Mind - it was out of some formerly Unbelieving Jews kicked out of Rome, temporarily staying at Corinth, AND Jews who lived in Corinth, PLUS formerly lost Gentiles in Corinth, that the Body at Corinth began - through Paul's ministry, Acts 18:4, 1 Cor. 3:10, 12; 1 Cor. 12: 2, 13.
While people like Priscilla and Aquila, who were only at Corinth til they could safely return to their home in Rome after that banning of all Jews from Rome was lifted (there they are, back in Rome, in Romans 16:3), would have been members of Israel's Believing Remnant, added to the Little Flock's assembly, at that Pentecost, years earlier, see Acts 2:5, 10.
You know how Tam is always wondering how if, after Paul, such might have referred people to his message, as theirs had been put on hold - well, that is exactly what Priscilla did with Apollos, as he had only known the baptism of John, Acts 18: 26, 27.
You dropped the ball I passed you - 1 Mind only thinks I was agreeing with him and not Mid-Acts and or Grace Ambassadors on these things.
Later in my post to him, I made it clear I was referring both to members of the Prophetic Aspect of God's TWO-Fold Purpose (Believing Remnant of Israel) as well as to members of the Mystery aspect (formerly lost Jews and Gentiles, this side of Israel's fall in Acts 7:51-53, see 1 Thess. 2:15, 16, etc).
At the same time, I forget you have not yet sorted some of these things out, as the ever advancing in finer and finer understandings in each our understanding of one thing or another on these things is never over for any MAD, Philippians 3:13-16.
Which to me, is a plus in your favor. Not only because here they are for you to feast on and rejoice in (if you'll focus on them rather than on "that Danoh and his two cents) but also because you often appear to me to be doing something I do not often find in MADs anywhere.
Where most will unwittingly merely parrot what they were taught or read somewhere - Grace Ambassadors' Justin Johnson himself, often does that - you are that rare MAD who, not having had the blessing of having been taught all these little intricacies, go about in your own way, gradually coming to them on your own, eventually, just through your ever obvious time in Scripture.
And that has its pluses and its minuses, just as it had had for that great man of Mid-Acts, J.C. O'Hair, whom even Stam was first made aware of Mid-Acts by.
O'Hair himself would find himself having been off on a thing.
But always, he had been willing to have a thing pointed out to him - even by his worst enemies, people who had repeatedly and publicly twisted his words - people like Harry Ironside, in his great big nonsense of a booklet against O'Hair's Mid-Acts - Ironside's booklet "Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth."
See, GD, even when you are off on a thing, your obvious time in Scripture, attempting there to sort things out on your own just you and God through His Word, still shines through as being what you had been up to - studying a thing out as best you could in Scripture.
I'm telling you woman - "Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels" 2 Corinthians 6:12.
If anything, as direct a critic as I have been of my fellow MADs on here as to one thing or another, the above about you is not one of those criticisms.
I was agreeing with, and backing up your supposing, there, in your earlier reply to 1 Mind, not with 1 Mind's ever erroneous "one size fits all" conclusion.
Just as I said I would do, where I might note a thing I cannot but voice my agreement with - I'd said this both to all MADs on here, and to Pate, whom I also find I do not always agree with.
Yours in Him, GD - and Happy New Year!
Because Romans 5: 6-11.
