THE MYSTERY KEPT SECRET

[DougE]

Luke 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

The prophets spoke of the Lord Jesus Christ since the world began.

Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Peter preached that the prophets spoke of the Lord Jesus Christ since the world began.

Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

Paul's preaching of the Lord Jesus Christ however, was kept secret since the world began.
Paul preached Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret, but was now made manifest through Paul (Romans 16:26 Ephesians 3:3).

Neither the prophets, nor Peter and the disciples, preached the mystery, as it was hid from them (Colossians 1:26).

The mystery revealed to Paul was that all could be justified freely by grace through faith in Christ Jesus as our propitiation, apart from the law, apart from Israel and covenants (Romans 3:19-26) and the preaching of the cross (1 Corinthians 1:18).

The mystery revealed the body of Christ (Ephesians 3:4-6 Colossians 1:18 Ephesians 1:22-23).​

The Mystery is that Israel is the Body of Christ comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

 

[Bright Raven]

The Mystery is that Israel is the Body of Christ comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

Untrue. That is replacement theology.

The Mystery is that Israel is the Body of Christ comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

Completely FALSE also known as a LIE.

The Mystery is that Israel is the Body of Christ comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

Israel as a nation will remain set aside in unbelief. Jesus will take away the kingdom on earth from the nation of Israel and give it to the little flock, the remnant of Israel, the Israel of faith in Christ Matthew 21:43

Completely FALSE also known as a LIE.

No it's the truth in Christ Jesus! I know it's hard for you to accept it!

You way off. Israel is the Body of Christ. It's now comprised of both Jews and Gentiles. At first it was mostly made up of Jews.

 

[Right Divider]

I accept the truth... I reject your nonsensical "version" of it.

 

[beloved57]

Actually its vice versa

Completely FALSE also known as a LIE.

Hi and give a verse for this LIE ?

How will you view Col 1:26 ?

[Right Divider]

Actually its vice versa

You are either confused or lying or both.

[beloved57]

You are either confused or lying or both.

Sorry that is you!

 

[DAN P]

It's the same place were it says it is not true.

Hi and JUST where does it say that Israel is the BODY OF CHRIST ?

Answer me this?

Where does it say Israel is not the Body of Christ?

 

[JudgeRightly]

Answer me this?

Where does it say Israel is not the Body of Christ?

Throughout the Bible.

Throughout Paul's epistles. Especially Romans.

1&2 Peter.

To name a few examples.

 

[JudgeRightly]

Israel is the Body of Christ

Israel is the Body of Christ.

Stamping your foot and reasserting your position won't magically make it come true.

The Mystery is that

If it's the mystery, then why is it never stated explicitly by Paul as the mystery being such?

But instead, we have Paul constantly making distinctions between the two groups, and even separating his ministry for 14 years!

comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

God has always welcomed Gentiles into covenant relationship with Him through Israel.

No it's the truth in Christ Jesus! I know it's hard for you to accept it!

:yawn:

I repeat: Stamping your foot and reasserting your position won't magically make it come true.

It's now comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

It always has been.

Here's the difference though:

Prior to the forming of the Body of Christ, there was a distinction between Jew and Gentile, and Gentiles who became Jews were called Proselytes. However, starting with Paul, that distinction has been done away with regarding salvation, and there is now no distinction between Jew and Gentile, all may freely come to God WITHOUT having to go through Israel's national covenant.

At first it was mostly made up of Jews.

... And Gentiles who became proselytes...

Hi and JUST where does it say that Israel is the BODY OF CHRIST ?

dan p

The same place were it says Israel is not the Body of Christ.

So the Bible contradicts itself?

When you ignore the laws of logic, your position becomes untenable. You have just done so.

They're called the law of identity, the law of the excluded middle, and the law of non-contradiction.

Two things that contradict each other cannot both be true at the same time and/or in the same way.

Which means that the Bible cannot say both "Israel is the Body of Christ" AND "Israel is not the Body of Christ", because those are two contradictory statements.

You just made the claim that the Bible says BOTH in the same place.

Care to elaborate? Or shall we just dismiss you as a lunatic who disregards the laws of logic and reason simply to uphold his position?
