The spread of the gospel and its consequences as well as the violence amped at this time in Rome (If I'm understanding your 'what' correctly). Matthew 24:13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved. That's a promise of comfort. Mat 24:34 I tell you the truth, this generation will...

Specifically the disciples/apostles enduring persecution and not to worry because they are going to be saved, though they are killed? It seems to me, a promise of comfort for 'this *(that) generation.' He said it wouldn't pass away until it had seen all of it.

Agree. Because it does 'simply' say 'kind' of faith, as in "Can this kind of faith save him?" Otherwise, even if I 'were' Mid Acts, I'd have a hard problem with James counteracting what Paul says: "NOBODY is,was,ever shall be saved by keeping the works of the Law." You make a point last...

I'm not sure it needs an answer. It is rather, what do I agree with and where am I different from any other Mid Acts theologian? When I first came to TOL in 2004, I wasn't as solid on my own theology, kind of ecumenical with good training but no experience field yet to hammer out my...

Prior to sin, she'd never have seen it that way nor known it that way. Thank you for this dialogue btw. I appreciate you. Ask? You were, if someone is 'taken care of' that's love. My kids came home from the hospital EXACTLY this way! My kids couldn't move away and frankly didn't...

Have you changed any of your minds? 🤔 Asking for a friend :D

Haven't thought about it much, but seems legit "appointed 'once' to die" came to mind reading your response. Any other scriptures in mind on this one? (off topic so ignore if appropriate)

Matthew 19:17 “Why do you ask me concerning what is good?” answered Jesus. “There is only One who is good. Keep the commandments if you want to enter life.” Yet Paul says no one received eternal life by keeping the law, it is the whole argument of Galatians and much of Romans. His comment...

Before or after sin? You'd say it doesn't matter but I'd disagree. Next, you are describing love as if it were not connected to action. I don't reckon love that way, I reckon that if I went into a house, all and every need was taken care of from that moment, I'd know I was loved. It...

Yes until the last line. God the Father isn't tempted yet IS praiseworthy so the equivocation needs work. It is a platitude that isn't true demonstrably. The Father cannot love? Spirit? This second conclusion also needs a rethink. Wholly disagree. I know of no scripture that says love...

Right Divider sent me this link (thank you): https://graceambassadors.com/prophecy/conflict-in-israel-and-gods-blessing "This imbalanced response by America’s churches is largely due to a failure to rightly divide the word of God. Israel is mentioned over 2,600 times in the Bible, and it is...

So would you place it as "Paul?" Or more specifically "Death Burial Resurrection?" Thank you for the links. Was there a thread at one time here on the Plot? Seems like I participated in it at one time? Interesting on the second reading that Darby was considered Mid Acts. Thanks for the...

True although and for instance, Enoch was righteous prior to Moses. Paul says "having a law unto themselves (conscience such that it was)." 2nd Chapter Dispensationalists see this as the age of "Conscience" (2nd of 7) How many Dispensations are recognized in Mid Acts? Innocence (Adam and...

I think so Well, for me it was understood: It is better sometimes to communicate the long-way rather than with short-hand, especially when someone else isn't getting it. On top of that, even here in thread, there are different MAD as well, thus the label is 'appreciable' but not always...

Paul says the Law never did give life. Hebrews 11 says 'faith' in God's ability to save was always the way men came to eternal life. Then read verse 5 again: always even then, chosen by grace. I think you say you agree last paragraph below? John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it will, and...

Know who you are talking to, this board is Mid Acts and for them, the contradiction isn't a disagreement, but how each applies differently to the target audience (Jew vs gentile). Nick may have rather said "if you are trying to follow John as well as Paul, you are trying to follow two...

I'm not sure this is a MAD distinction persay, but a grasp of the whole of scripture (I may be missing the MAD point and context so help is appreciated on such). Paul said when we've erred on one point of the law, we've missed the whole: "Keep (all) the commandments," then, was Jesus' way...
