David was not ultimately saved as a teenager. Salvation means to be saved from something. There are two choices in a man's life, we either gravitate towards the flesh, or we repent of our carnal inclinations and accept the Lord's sacrifice which frees us from the bondage to sin we had prior to...

You are making the superficial error of looking at the physical while omitting the Spiritual. I showed you with the example of the priest the rabbi and the Samaritan who were not true spiritual Jews and who was the true spiritual Jew. The Gentiles, like the Samaritan, who have not the law, but...

So what I think you are saying is that God wants us to tend to flocks of people to be saved?

I know you have Jew and you have gentiles, who are supposed to represent those who believe and those who don't. As I have shown with scriptures, what is a Jew spiritually was the Samaritan, while the Jews in the flesh who did not love their neighbor are in fact gentiles in the spirit.

I'm glad to see your perspective that God who is love did not provide Himself to anyone prior to Christ's sacrifice in order for people to love their neighbor as themselves. So the greatest commandment that God wants us to do, you say is impossible to do. Your logic is counterintuitive, making...

Did not Noah preach to those who disregarded him in order to attempt to help his neighbors? Did not all the prophets who preached to the people do so due to the love God put in their hearts for their neighbors who were perishing? Do you understand that love for one's neighbor can be displayed in...

Yes, the two greatest commandments are to love God with your whole being. And as God is love (1 John 4:8 & 16), we should then love love with our whole being, which if you do, you would then also love your neighbor as yourself. I am saying that according to 1 John 4:7 the Samaritan who loved his...

Your pride seems to keep you from wanting to concede to truth. In addition to the Samaritan, there have been numerous others prior to Christ's sacrifice who were born of God who believed in loving their neighbor, who were not fictional characters. The lawyer asked how he might attain eternal...

While the result of the Samaritan was a good deed, the Samaritan did not do it to perform a good deed; he did because he was born of God and believed in loving his neighbor, and in this case his enemy, a Jew from Jerusalem.

You had asked to be shown any scripture which showed where anyone (Jews) are saved now. I showed you the parable about the Samaritan who though regarded as a gentile, was in fact a believer in God, and thereby saved. Likewise, any Jew, or any person throughout the world who believes in loving...

What I have done is identify what really is an unbelieving gentile from one who is not a gentile. The priest and rabbi in Luke 10 are in fact unbelieving gentiles in Spirit, while the Samaritan is a believer in God in Spirit.

Absolutely, David was ultimately saved believing in the Spirit over the flesh by the Lord's guiding grace in spiritual correctness/righteousness.

Did the Lord not answer the lawyer who wanted to know how to attain eternal life/salvation with the parable? You seem to not want to believe the answer by calling the parable a fiction.

A gentile is a person who does not believe in a single God, primarily that of Judaism. This perspective, however, is superficially distorted when we look at the story about the Samaritan in Luke 10, who did believe in loving his neighbor, and therefore was born of God who is love (1 John 4:7-8 &...

You keep repeating the way of the cross without explaining your position on its meaning. To me the way of the cross as you call it, is the Way of Jesus and all he taught in His gospels. This means that I take the whole of all in the Word and accept it all as truth. I do not cherry pick a verse...

Those of the circumcision, who believed in love, truth, justice, and all that is spiritually correct (just like the Samaritan in Luke 10), had hope of being saved from a carnal lifestyle in sin, as they were more believers in the Spirit than in the flesh. Love for your neighbor, like that of the...

When the Lord responds to a certain lawyer who wanted to know how to attain eternal life (Salvation), Jesus tells the lawyer about a priest, a rabbi, and a Samaritan. The priest and the Rabbi, who supposedly believed in God, when they saw their fellow countryman from Jerusalem who had been...

Gentiles are non believers. When Paul stated Gentiles it refers to all who do not believe in God, which included the Ephesians. And faith in God does not include belief in many gods.

The context of Ephesians 2:11-12 starts in Ephesians 2:1-2. And who was dead in trespasses and sins? The Ephesians who in times past had no hope in leaving off sinning prior to Christ's sacrifice. Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time...

Context. What did the Ephesians have no hope of attaining in times past? Prior to Christ's sacrifice, the Ephesians like everyone else had no hope in leaving off sinning.
