And yet Jesus did help the Greek/Syrophoenician, (Mark 7:24), woman's daughter. He wasn't so narrowminded that He couldn't see that those from other nations couldn't also have faith in His grace. He proved it again when He helped the Roman centurion's servant in Matt 8. I think Jesus summed up...

If you don't "follow it" or adhere to it, what penalty is there? Anything eternal?

Can you give me an example?

Is it the truth that Jesus said could free us from service to sin?

Yet, He did minister to other nation's citizens. Sure, if Canaanites are Israelis. Frankly speaking, I am glad he started his ministries in other cities with stops at the local synagogues to start with the Jews.

Hi. May I ask what is the main draw of mid-Acts-dispensationalism? Is there something about it that other sects are missing out on? What/where is the profit in following it?

All I wrote was that he was a Canaanite. That indicates to me that more than just the Israelites were hearing the words of Jesus. The Lord Jesus would not withhold His words from anyone just on the grounds of nationality. Though the Israelites were His main mission, everyone was invited to "come...

It sure looked like you did.

That which will die and be put in a grave to be raised on the day of judgement is just a vessel. It isn't who the man actually is. Paul writes in Rom 6:6..."Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve...

If the old man is not destroyed, our rebirth / new creature would have an evil twin walking around. One has to go before the other takes its place.

With Rom 6:6 added in destruction is obvious..."Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin." Thank God we can be raised with Christ from our water baptism into Him, and his death and burial, to walk in...

I agree with you.

Mark 3:17-19..."And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, 19 And Judas...

I don't understand how anyone could use the Jerusalem council to insist the original 12a apostles never spoke to Gentiles again, despite Jesus' commands to do just that. Especially after knowing that most were killed in foreign lands.

I'm sorry you don't see it.

More information contrary to the OT Law, for sure. You do realize, I hope, that things changed after the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Though Jesus was initially sent only to Israel, things changed dramatically between Matt 10:5's commandment and His resurrection. Even while...

Peter and the rest of the apostles were told..."And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:47) And..."And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)...

It is written..."Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:4) Of course I am not Him, but I have been reborn of His seed. Why would I...

Was that your answer to your own rhetorical question ? Or was that the reason you wondered why that in spite of having the gift of the Holy Ghost, God additionally gave Peter the vision ? God gave Peter the vision so He could send him to the Gentiles without the fear that it would offend God...

If repentance is mentioned in one case, but not the other, it is apparent to me that repentance is not necessary for my forgiveness. And I thank God for allowing me to forgive the now long dead. Don't you mean "absence of scripture"? "Repentance is absent in Matt. I don't need to justify my...
