Where those in Christ before Paul part of the Building?
(Eph 2:19-21) Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
The above passage completely proves MAD's "two people" theory wrong.
Sure, Tel; if you say so - two departments of one agency both residing in a same building have a right to take mail adressed to the other as being instructions to and about their own department, merely because both reside in that same building.
Fact is, yours is the very mis-fire of every inconsistency out there, be it from the lost; the saved; Protestant or not, Reformed or not, Dispensational or not, and so on - including when an inconsistency is that of one who holds to the Acts 9 Position.
It's a sobering thought; this...
That all mis-fires are basically the result of the failure to re-study out each time anew, every word, and or every phrase in a passage, not only in it's own right, but also: as to what it's possible connection to the whole might, or might not, actually be..
You?
You're still stuck in the blind alley that is your notion that one is "just being a Darby follower..."
For the fact of the matter is, that to the extent that ANYONE has proven having consistently followed the above rule, there is no "Darby" nor "Russell" nor what ever other "one size fits all" notion only the unlearned ever conclude.
Yours is nothing more than the result of your particular hybrid, or fusing together of that - of your having fused together one thing with another, incorrectly, rather than...correctly...in your own obviously consistent failure in the consistent practice of the above rule...
1 Corinthians 3:13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Rom. 5:8
Pro. 27:17
