Quote (Nick Hassan @ Oct. 03 2008,05:58)GB, So you and CO really believe this is a punch and judy show in which we take no part but are just observers?  You must walk while the light is with you . Do not let the grace of God be wasted.Nick. Wrong again (how often?). We are not just observers, we are “partakers”.Also, do you not understand…[Read more]

Hi 942767.You said… Hi CO:I am glad that you and I are in unity that we have to believe and repent in order to be saved.As the scripture that you quoted states, it is God because of his goodness who leads us to repentance. But it is up to us to repent which means that we are sorry for our sins and it also means that when God convicts us that…[Read more]

Nick. All will, at the consummation, when God will be “All in all”. (not All in some)

Hi 942767. Sorry for the delay in answering re this post of yours:What does the following scripture say?Quote Act 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. This says (then) to the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 30 2008,13:41)Hi CO, If seems amazing that you remain unfamiliar with the gospel of the kingdom first preached by Jesus to the JewsNick. Yes, I'm waiting for you to give me that scripture that says that this same gospel is now preached to the gentiles.

Not the same gospel, Pauls gospel of Christ to the “nations” had an addition, to “complete the word of God”. (Col.1:25)Blessings.

Hi 942767.Here is an explanation of Acts.2:36-40 from “that source”, I think you know the one.34 The whole passage shows that Peter is proclaiming a literal king and a literal kingdom for Israel. The descent of the spirit had nothing to do with the formation of the body of Christ, but was a well known sign which indicated the approach of the…[Read more]

Quote (chosenone @ Sep. 30 2008,03:54)Nick.     Please quote what scripture you find that says, “the same gospel first to the Jews, then the same one to the nations.Nick. Can't find the scripture? Yours is a man-made gospel?

Hi 942767.Here are some scriptures you asked for:Ro.14:11 …for it is written: Living am I, the Lord is saying, For to Me shall bow every knee, And every tongue shall be acclaiming God!Phil.2:11 … and every tongue should be acclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord, for the glory of God, the Father.Ro.5:18 … Consequently, then, as it was through…[Read more]

Nick. Still no scripture?

Nick. Please quote what scripture you find that says, “the same gospel first to the Jews, then the same one to the nations.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 29 2008,12:52)Hi CO,Mt 1524But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. I love this verse. God sent him to his chosen people. Those beautiful words continue to bless men all over the world.Nick. Strange logic, now I understand why you are confused.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 29 2008,07:46)GB, So the JUDGEMENT of God is removed from your bible?Nick. Same as you removed Matt.15:24 from yours?

Hi 942767. I will give it a try:Verse 11: … in Him in Whom our lot was cast also, being designated beforehand according to the purpose of the One Who is operating all in accord with the counsel of His will, We have been designated beforehand (that is “predestined”) by God, according to “His will”. Obviously we did not exercise our…[Read more]

Hi David. A very good opinion, I can somewhat agree. So then, who can be saved? Is it just a lottery? Will God finally say…”Ah-ha, you, you, and you, come forward, you got it right, you're saved. The rest of you into the firey pit, and burn forever”? Surely God didn't give His Word in such a confused way that we all seem to have such a…[Read more]
