What were they preaching in Matthew 10? Why don't you answer these simple questions asked over and over?
They were preaching the kingdom of God.
But, remember, the Law of Moses was still in place.

They said it was at hand. It was not there, but it was coming. So, how is that not the NC?
Aren't those who sleep in Jesus the same as the dead in Christ?
How does one come down and one go up, at the same time?
Three groups of believers (regarding death)
Those who died before the cross
Those who died from 30AD - 70AD
Those who died after 70AD- to present
Show me your scripture
I already showed you 1 Cor 15, and the verse from Romans and James.
Christ Jesus was the firstfruit.
Those in Christ that died from 30AD - 70AD were the firstfruits. These believers were sealed with the Holy Spirit. In Revelation, these are the 144,000 that were sealed.
After 70AD (up to the present) when we die, we instantly are with Christ Jesus.
Those who died before the cross were resurrected in 70AD.
Why should I believe that "them which sleep in Jesus" are not the same as "the dead in Christ"?
The kingdom of God was preached since JTB.
The NC wasn't put in place until the blood was shed on the cross.
"kingdom of God" and "New Covenant" are not mutually exclusive.
Out of curiosity... Are you aware of the role of Jesuit Francisco Ribera in introducing modern Futurism during the Counter-Reformation in 1590, which is the foundation for all Dispensationalism?
What's your take on that?
Nope, it's STP that is caught.
STP claims the two houses (Israel & Judah) were all Jews in the first century. STP claims there was no distinction between the two houses.
Christ Jesus joined the two sticks (Judah & Israel) together when He made the NC with His shed blood on the cross.
You Darby followers are a mess. Half of you claim the two houses haven't been joined together yet, and the other half of you claim they were joined together before Jesus was born.
Like I said, you can't defend a lie, and Dispensationalism is a lie.
It means exactly what it says.
You Darby followers have turned it into something it does not mean.
Not one Christian EVER taught a secret rapture before John Nelson Darby invented it in 1830.
Only followers of John Nelson Darby believe in a secret rapture.
I feel better about TeT since I have that, "Knucklehead" on permanent ignore!
What a "Doofus!"
Nah...... it's just that I'm not a John Nelson Darby follower.
The punk is getting picked apart, as usual, and, once again, he whimpers, "Darby.............."
A loser.
The only thing "contrived" is Darby's false teaching of a secret rapture.
:rotfl:Darby
STP, heir, and Johnny W believe in it.
Obsession makes people do crazy things, and become unbalanced.
He needs to spend some time with Mr. Miyagi.
You'd probably find Tet to be a nice fellow if you chatted in person.
