    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I’m not convinced. Genesis 13:15 (KJV) For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. There weren’t any conditions placed on this, and God letter confirmed it as a covenant by walking between the halves by Himself. Yet He “paused” the covenant when the...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    You say they are. I showed that they weren’t. Of course they needed to hear the bad news of their sin before hearing the good news of the gospel. Just like Gentiles need to hear the bad news of their sins before they know they need a savior. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (KJV) And such were some of you...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    Is Acts 10 the only scripture we look to for Peter’s version of the gospel? what about this: Acts 2:38 (KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. If he...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    Genesis 25:16 (KJV) These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. But what was preached to the Jew after Paul’s conversion? Even Peter had to admit Paul had good things to say to the Jew. 2 Peter...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I guess you have to include the tithe in the liturgy, then, if we describe what happened as a liturgy.

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    If you think "fulfill" is better, that's fine, but you complained about that term, too. Jesus did both. Was Cornelius required to be circumcised? Was Cornelius required to be circumcised before Peter learned from Paul? No, "technically" they are not. Neither did the Jews think Samaritans were...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    If it has something to do with us, then I would agree. I’m not sure it does. Did someone suggest there are two? I might have missed it. Part of the beauty of the new covenant was the removal of excess liturgy, in my mind. And I would agree it makes it more like Abraham’s liturgy. Destruction...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    If someone breaks one of our laws, and they are found guilty and punished, the law has been fulfilled in that instance, but there are continuing instances, so it isn’t totally accomplished. To accomplish the law, it has to do all that it is intended to do, at which point it can be abolished...

    Trump has not conceded

    Does Dan Crenshaw matter more than the senators in Arizona?

    Trump has not conceded

    Many parts have become public knowledge. Many of these have been corroborated by multiple witnesses. That is the biblical standard of proof. What is yours? I agree that it has not been fully argued in court or US Congress. It has been argued in a few legislative bodies, and has been proven...

    Trump has not conceded

    Truth. You obviously don’t have it yet. It might take awhile, but the truth will come out about the election. When it does, you probably still won’t believe it, but you will move on to a different battle, fighting either in ignorance or purposeful deception.

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour !

    This has to be the best post I’ve ever seen from you B52! Keep up the good work.

    Christ the risen Saviour, not potential Saviour !

    I’m sure you have me on ignore, but we are not saved from the second death until we are saved from the first death. And EVERYONE is saved from the first death. The second death is not the penalty for sin—the first death is. EVERYONE is not saved from the second death. Thus God was accurate when...

    The claim that most doctors support the coronavirus vaccine turns out to be a lie

    So when the head of the AMA says, “You can take it from your doctor: the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective.” I guess I can also take it from my doctor that the covid vaccine is not safe and effective, according to AMA logic.

    The claim that most doctors support the coronavirus vaccine turns out to be a lie

    Interesting. I just went to an appointment with a new doc, and he thinks the vaccine is a scam. Among about 5 docs I’ve seen this year, 2 are anti covid vaccine. And in a supposedly blue state. I don’t know about the others, so I’m guessing they’re pro covid-vax

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    And, as a spotless lamb He was killed as a sacrifice, so that no other sacrifice was needed, ever again. The law was fulfilled, as there was no more need to do it. Hebrews 10:12-14 (KJV) 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I wasn't talking about "all things". Just "the law". If there are prophecies that remain to be fulfilled, whether from Moses or the prophets or Psalms, yet "the law" is fulfilled already, Jesus' statement is still valid. It’s later in the same chapter. So you seem to make the case that Paul...

    Speed of light

    We know that the speed of light slows down when it hits denser media. It’s slower in water than in air, and slower in air than in vacuum. So there’s no gaps of darkness due to those changes. I’m not trying to advocate for the speed of light in vacuum (which is the number we usually use for “c”)...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    Did they? There question indicated that for 40 days Jesus didn’t teach than anything about the kingdom of Israel, but Christ had been teaching them about something that was the kingdom of God and not of Israel. I don’t disagree that the apostles and other disciples were going to those of Israel...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I guess there's some question as to whether TItus carried off the ark, or just other temple accoutrements. But the temple was certainly destroyed, and with it the levitical sacrificial system stopped. Though I question why you point to a liturgy in just 42 instead of the whole rest of the...
