Nick. Being cicumcised (physicaly), and circumcised in your heart, are not the same. Those that were cicumcised in the flesh were the “Jews”. Those chosen by God “the body of Christ”, (Jew or Gentile) are circumcised of the heart.

Hi Nick & 942767. You both don't seem to realise that the 'four gospels', the teaching of Jesus, was to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel”, Jesus' words (Matt.15:24). In that era, their salvation was by “works”, they were under the “Old Covenant” and the “law”. Jesus was a Jew, He fulfilled the “law”. They were obliged to keep the law…[Read more]

Hi 942767. By saying “all scripture is for us…” does not mean it is to us. By saying it is for us, means we are to read it, and understand what it says, to understand what God is doing with His creation, but clearly it is to the “circumcision”, Israel. That is what it means by saying “not all scripture is about us”. Notice these books,…[Read more]

942767. Correct.

Nick. I don't think it's desirable to “bet” against God.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 05 2008,06:19)Hi CO, Do you just want the answers you think you found outside the gospel of Jesus Christ?Nick. I'm not asking for an answer I want. Just an answer, your opinon, on the question asked. You avoid the question by dancing around with another question or an irreverent answer. Simple? Try again.

Nick. I was right, you answered with an “irrelevent answer”. You remaind me of the “artfull dodger”, you can dance around any question withou really answering.

Nick. Another of your false accusations. Where have I ever said I know what the will of God is? I said the will of God “WILL” be done, not that I can tell you what His will is for you or anyone else is for tomorrow or any day in particular. God does reveal in scripture what “His will” will accomplish at the “consummation”, that He (God)…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 04 2008,17:12)Hi CO, Then do detail the will of God for you and me.1.Cor.15: …that God may be All in all.) This will include you and me.

Whatever God does is His will. Eph.1:11 …being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will, All He is doing is being done. …watch and observe!

So what did Paul complete??I expect an irrelevent answer, no facts.

Paul “completed the word of God”, I suppose you just stick to the 'UNCOMPLETED VERSION'?

Nick. Yes. Yes. No.
