The Corinthians epistles are written to believers. (1 Cor 1:2). Every believer has been justified & received Christ' imputed gift of righteousness (Rom 5:17-18). Placing them in a right standing with the Father, thru Faih in Christ/the Lord our righteousness. (Jer 23:5, 33:15, 1 Cor 1:30, 2...

The 1st physical/temporal old covenant Tabernacle (blueprints are given to Moses Ex chapters 25-31 & 35-40) for building the Tabernacle. It was a glimpse of the heavenly Tabernacle. Ex 25:40 See that you make them [exactly] after their pattern which was shown to you on the mountain. (Also see...

1 Tim 1: 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, (MY NOTE: Paul is telling Timothy to challenge those that try to add anything to their gospel message) 4 Neither give heed to fables and...

Rom 8: 23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection]. 24 For in this...

I never made any such claim. God had a plan with a path long before the world was created. If man made the wrong choice. He would send His Son to the rescue. I have no idea how many will choose the right path (God knows). The path is acknowledge that God is, you have sinned against His...

Yes & I cited the salvation sealing eternally purifying Holy Spirit in post #100. The Holy Spirit. No water involved. If Jesus is (alive) talking, it's old covenant. The new covenant doesn't begin until after Jesus' death & resurrection. Gal 4: 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, 4...

Water was the OT physical purification shadow of the ultimate NT Spiritual purification process to come. Seen at the 1st post Pentecost Acts 2:4 (JEWS ONLY) Then several years later Acts 10 at the Italian gentile Cornelius house Acts 10: 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost...

Gal 1:19 adds nothing to my postings. Paul chronicle: converted on the road to Damascus, then goes to Arabia (Gal 1:17) 3 years later he goes to Jerusalem (Gal 1:18-19) meets with Peter & the Lord's 1;2 brother James. Paul's chronicle continues: Onto Gal chapter 2:1 14 years """later""" Paul...

Salvation is the same for Jews and Greeks-- through faith. Abraham is the father of faith both to the circumcised and uncircumcised, according to the book of Romans-- a man about whom it is written that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. But is it appropriate for...

They weren't translating anything from the Greek there, and you do not know that the translators put in the section titles. I never claimed their titles were scripture. Having, said that every Bible we read is a translation. I simply believe the writers of those 3 Bibles are a better source...

That doesn't prove your theory. It just shows that some Bible translators...or less qualified editors... like to come down on one side or another of a theological/historical issue when that isn't their job and when it isn't necessary. The section titles are not part of the actual Greek text...

The threads focus - The Council at Jerusalem - & what happened there. Jerusalem assembly apostles Peter, James & John & elders (OP - vs 6 & 9) confirm in writing (OP - vs 23 & 29) Paul's message that new covenant believing gentiles (or Jews). DON'T have to adhere to the Covenant of...

Rom 7:1 Says: For I speak to them that know the law. Paul longed to save Jews under the law. 1st Pentecost (Mt Sinai) was a betrothal/marriage contract/Mosaic covenant. Ex 6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God...

It doesn't make any difference which epistle was written 1st. Acts 15 & Gal 2 are written by different people. Both made the Bible & are therefore Holy Spirit inspired (2 Tim 3:16). Thread focus is what happened at ""The Council at Jerusalem"" The message/letters the Christ believing apostles'...

The Romans & Corinthians epistles cited, are both written to believers (Rom 1:7 - 1 Cor 1:2) Rom 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her...

Acts 21 you cited is only 1/2 the story. These are the same UNBELIEVING Jews that killed Jesus & Stephen. Now they're after Paul. Acts 22 tells the rest o the story. God breathed scripture citing Christ (more than once) choosing & sending Paul to gentiles (against to Mosaic law). Here is just...

Luke tells the The Council at Jerusalem event in Acts 15. Paul revisits the Council at Jerusalem in Galatians 2. In both accounts Peter, James, John & the Christ believing elders. At the Christ believing assembly in Jerusalem. Write letters to the Christ believing gentile churches. You DON'T...

The Council at Jerusalem REVISTED - Galatians chapter 2 Gal 2: I went up [to Jerusalem] because of a [divine] revelation, and I put before them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles. But I did so in private before those of [a]reputation, for fear that I might be running or had run [the...

The Council at Jerusalem - Acts chapter 15 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. 5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was...
