The nuts and bolts of 1 Cor 15:1-4 are back there. Look and see. This is the gospel according to the revelation of the mystery.
No.
Paul is UNIQUELY applying the finished work of that Prophesied Cross to people THIS SIDE of The Mystery hid in God.
He ALONE is a SEEMING oddball in this, in Scripture.
Towards what end?
Towards God's Mystery in "our glory" in His Son's Mystery Glory.
This is NOT OT ground.
The principle is the same; the application differs.
Does Israel end up in the Body just because Christ originally died for THEIR sins according to THEIR Scriptures?
Do OT saints end up in the Body, just because God applied the merits of THEIR Prophesied Cross to them, in His forebearance?
These are actual, consistent Acts 9 Position types of questions.
Your assertions reveal you have not asked those kinds of questions in some areas.
Jerry certainly does not; RD and Musti and Steko appear to have asked them in some areas you have not; and so on.
This is strictly a neutral observation on my part.
Only an as much as possible neutral observation allows seeing what is what; where each individual is actually coming from, and so on.
Where I find I myself have mis-fired on that in misreading something or even having misread a post by someone, is where I also at have at times ended up off in APPROACH.
What does one learn DURING the BASICS of Math?
"Now run the math backwards on itself; see if it still adds up."
The brightest within Acts 9 do just that - ask any of them.
Take that time you have off and go to some of their various conferences.
You'll find none of them lay things out to others the way you and some of your pals often do.
That is an APPROACH issue.
But for his insolence, RD's posts more often come closest on here to their approach.
You might want to go back and study out Stam's overall APPROACH in his still one heck of a great work - to - this - very - day - "Things That Differ."
Speaking of mystery...
This process - of identifying the right study principles is not only never over, but is often born anew or from above, right on the spot EACH TIME, as one interacts with the Word, and He interacts with one in return - through - His - Word - in - you - that - believe - His - Word.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
I was talking about APPROACH - NOT about some "owner's manual" about WHAT to believe.
That would be Jerry's "what Sir Robert Anderson declared is the final say" or DanP's exact same, equally written in long dried over cement department: Robert Brock.
Though Brock left Anderson way, way, way back in the dust of Anderson's own, crystal clear obvious Acts 28 APPROACH tendencies.
I was talking about consistency in an Acts 9 APPROACH, not about Broccoli :chuckle:
THERE is where the rubber meets the road - right in between the results each our APPROACH either ends us up on a same page on one thing or another, or not.
Rom. 14:5.
