But there are historical records for everything else that happened prior to the sign of the son of man. Everything in Matthew 24 has been fulfilled up to up to that.

Well, take out the church age and overlay it with tribulation. Take out rapture and overlay it with 2nd coming. And then the chart will be biblically accurate. Church age = the time of tribulation (Gentiles' gain = the Jews' loss) (Time of gentiles = time of Jew wrath) There is no gap between...

You're mistakenly hyper-fixating on the word "synagogue". Did you know that the early church that began in Acts was run by Jews (The apostles and disciples of Messiah) first called Christians and they congregated in synagogues? In fact, Revelation 7 describes the 144000, and among them are...

Sorry for the late reply to this. Work is picking up and I can't hop on CC as I used to. The law is not and has never been the issue. This is literally the notion I'm arguing against. It may seem like a small thing but it isn't. If we read Paul's letters this way it pits the law against grace...

My last two sentences summarized what I was saying overall. But below is what I'm saying about Corinthians 10... "If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you choose to go..." [Q: why would one choose to go? A: Not for fun or for pleasure...not to hang out...but to witness to the unbeliever...

1 Corinthians 6 is Paul criticizing believers who take each other to court with lawsuits (to be judged by the unrighteous based on THEIR law) instead of settling the matter internally. Again, lawsuits under secular law. He then speaks to the issue at hand; why are they continuing to commit sin...

Sure. It means "under the penalty of the law" (i.e. condemnation...death). It's like saying "the full weight of the law bears down on you." Romans 5:13 [brackets mine] (For [before] the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. in fairness, no one can be accused...

Well, this completely tosses out the process of sanctification. 1 John 5:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Respectfully, only in your mind Posthuman. Have the saints in Daniel 7 been given the kingdom from the beast? No. Has the Messiah returned to rule from Jerusalem and does he require the nations to come to Jerusalem every Feast of Tabernacles in Zechariah 14? No. Do the people of God still...

You threw a lot at me, Pilgrimshope, so forgive the length. During the gospels the problem was... The Pharisees said they follow Moses' words (though not really) and outright rejected Messiah's words. Respectfully, Today the problem seems to be flipped... Gentiles say they follow Messiah's...

Ok, thanks. I wanted to be sure where you were coming from before I replied. The portion in red is what I contend is incorrect. 1) If you will further indulge me; what does justification mean specifically? 2) Can you give examples where Moses' words and Messiah's words were contrary? There are...

Can you put this portion in your own words for me, Pilgrimshope?

I'll try to Right, CV5... We have to read it in context. The matter originally presented didn't change mid-conversation during the council. They were paraphrasing. Act 15:24 [bracket inserted to maintain context from Acts 15:1] seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did...

The context begins in verse 1 Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

Hi Magenta, True. But that is not a reason to argue that they shouldn't try to be kept...but is the very reason why God promised to send His Spirit of Love so that we finally can, in fulfillment of Jeremiah 31:33. He also gave us gifts like grace and mercy and direct access to the throne to...

I conclude the same thing I've been concluding, Post. I'll put it in question form to try to drive the point home: 1) Who gave the law, man or God? A: God 2) Who must obey all of the law? A: Man 3) Who can amend the law, man or God? A: God 4) Who can't amend the law, man or God? A: Man 5)...

I broke up your quote so that all of it can be read for my response (instead of being hidden). ---- 1) Instead is indeed an adversative conjunction tied to "trouble them not". But trouble them not with what? With specifically fleshy circumcision. The statement wasn't "trouble them not with the...

It's hard to respond to this because you and I are reading these passages differently. But yes, the council would've agreed with Paul's message in Galatians 5 regarding fleshy circumcision because that's why James pronounced his instructions be sent to all new Gentile converts. Fleshy...

Trouble them not with fleshy circumcision, but tell them to abstain from: - pollutions of idols - fornication - things strangled - from blood How aren't they connected? Each of these things is found in the Law. Abstaining from them literally has no benefit outside of obedience to the...

Acts 13:13-16, 42 - In the Synagogue, on Sabbath Day Paul preached...gentiles (also called religious proselytes in the chapter) and then asked him to preach again to them the next sabbath...in the synagogue. Acts 14:1 - In the synagogue of the Jews, Paul spoke and a great multitude of Jews and...
