Please would you clarify regarding the Gospel Peter preached to the circumcised - are you saying such a Gospel is still reserved for them and them only?

Oh.... you didn’t realize that post was rhetorical? Silly me. I should have made it clear...

Good Lord, and here I was thinking you actually meant you were leaving for the night.
I was getting all excited and looking for my dancing shoes.
Alas....deceived once again, by the Evil one. :nono:
I believe he is making an effort to show Christ's love to the the guy. Personally I would soften my approach. This applies at all interacting with him. There has just been too much nastiness.
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. -- Proverbs 15:1
Context: judaizers followed Paul waiting for him to leave and then falsely proclaimed circumcision in order to follow Jesus. Calvin did not preach another gospel in this context because Calvin did not add works to the cross whether circumcision or anything else. Although somehow he became a legalistic nightmare in his own day, outlawing Christmas dinner, forbidding the going to Shakespeare’s plays and more great deeds.

Why this ij?
Either the answer is already in the question, or please survey some of my dozens of posts in this thread, to make your question less ambiguous for me.
How do you know that? Is it because you were born Catholic? Because most people born non-Catholic don't know that word.
Isn't that what Easter celebrates, each and every year? That's a head scratcher, to me, to have a problem with this. :idunno: It's .. like .. you're a Dispensationalist first, and a Christian second.
Yes, that is the Gospel. It does not exclude His death and burial, Easter rather includes absolutely everything about the Christian faith, from beginning to end, top to bottom, in and out; complete. Easter is all of it. One faith (Eph4:5KJV).
Augustine didn't have the authority to do that.

Thank you for that, sister. It is probably best to place him "below the fold" (on ignore) until he can rehabilitate himself.
That a professing believer would inject himself into a discussion between believer and non-believer, judging the non-believer to be somehow victorious in said discussion, speaks volumes to the perniciousness that underlies such an action. Such an action also presumes, contrary to the very Scripture one would claim (Romans 1), that the non-believer possesses the ability to actually understand spiritual matters, despite their dire state of unbelief. There is no neutral ground wherein the believer and non-believer may meet on matters of the faith. The believer, by axiomatic presupposition, will always possess the upper hand. To act as if this is not so, is to assume one can merely argue the non-believer into the Kingdom, or that the non-believer may argue the believer out of the Kingdom.
No matter what I may think of a believer's views (e.g., Arminian vs. Calvinist), when that person is taking the time to instruct the non-believer, I never inject myself into the discussion with the attitude of denunciation where the very means of God (witnessing to the lost) are at work. Doing so is to gravely place the millstone about one's own neck (Luke 17:2). This action is but the arrogant action of those given over to listening to the Accuser of the brethren to sow discord. May it never be.

Nope, I wasn't born Catholic. I only went to Catholic middle school. I never heard Pascha or Paschal during my time there. I remember a lot of Latin, but I didn't speak it. I have, however, over my years as a believer, studied up on Jewish things, which include the Passover. There are many festivals and feasts that relate to our Lord. The Passover Lev. 23:5 pointed to the Messiah being the Passover Lamb, and it was First Fruits Lev. 23:10 that pointed to His resurrection (as the first to raise from the dead).
Well, that's kinda silly since this has NOTHING to do with being a Dispensationalist, and everything to do with understanding Jewish history. Jesus was, after all, a Jew. The Messiah. And all these things were spoken of by Jewish prophets.
Actually no. The Gospel is very simple. You say it includes everything, but insist on narrowing it down to the resurrection. I'm just telling you, it is simple but not that simple. And, it is not Easter. In fact "Easter" which is actually the Passover is speaking of His death....not His resurrection.
That He is risen. Mt28:6KJV Mk16:6KJV Lk24:6KJV
Ah.
'Seemed like it was related. My mistake.
Nobody .. thinks Good Friday is Easter.

Exactly, and well said. :thumb:
That's the point I was trying to make. I'm certainly not as artful or kind as you are, AMR, but I do know one thing for a fact, and that is one never stomps on another's witnessing to the unsaved, for who knows what it will be that opens the eyes of the blind. And it's why I posted this verse, several times, hoping Evil would hear it.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
But, what did he do? He was offended by that verse. Took it as a personal affront.
I don't happen to believe that Sonnet is the seeking babe Evil would like us to believe, and he can certainly hold his own without a Personal Protector. Nor do I believe that we can hold someone's hand and escort them gently into God's presence, all the while kicking aside those who speak to them along the way. THAT is the only "arrogant pride" I'm seeing in this thread.

Probably because they replace the proper terms with made up one like Good Friday and Easter.
Once you start changing what is written, you lose the meaning of what was written.

I saw the word "crucified" in there. Don't try to hide it. :chuckle:

You mock God by questioning eternal fire and damnation. Mark 9:43 :chew:
Unbelievers are incapable of understanding spiritual things. :chew: 1 Corinthians 2:14
Talk is cheap. Even an unbeliever can say that. :chew:
Liar. This is why you have lost all credibility.
And you? No guts Evil who can't even admit when he's wrong. :think:
Yep, give kudos to the forum for not giving in to your childish demand to ban you. :chuckle:
False accusation AGAIN. I have no hostility toward you, Evil one...only pity, and that is going by the wayside the more you whine. Take that cigar out of your mouth :baby:

I know exactly what I said. You, on the other hand, seem to have a problem with twisting what has been said. Truly, you are no better than God's UNtruth in this regard. All mouth and no ears.
