Right, and appropriate to those who also cannot say they have fellowship with God. Why? Because they walk in the darkness ! Darkness is sin. (Pro 4:19) Not at all, as it is those who walk in sin that cannot say they have no sin. Look at 1 John 1:7, which says that ALL our sins can be washed...

Th apostles in Acts 1:7 were still inquiring about a physical kingdom. Paul refers to the end of time and the Lord Jesus' return in 1 Thes 5:1. I don't see any similarities.

If one wants to see something bad enough, they will see it as they wish. Yes He was. From context, it seems more like He was rebuffing their desire to see what kingdom was more important. The Jews only wanted a physical kingdom...and probably freedom from the Romans. Jesus knew that the...

So the draw for you was..."Recognizing distinctions in the text rather than blending it all together". In other words, seeing a division between what is written of the original 12 apostles and Paul. That doesn't make my heart flutter. Why did it appeal to you to see division instead of unity...

I fail to see anything by Paul that even hints of David's kingdom. BTW, the kingdom of God is within you...according to Jesus. (Luke 17:20-21) The word "kingdom" has more than one application.

Yes, Christ in you...the hope of glory. Col 1:26-28..."Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope...

As to my OP, I still have not garnered what is the big draw of Mid-Acts-Dispensationalism. As I know it speaks of a difference between Jewish and Gentile believers, and what each is required to do in order to be saved, is the "draw" that MADs forgo repentance from sin? water baptism in the name...

Know Paul's path, or know MAD's doctrine which they say follows Paul's path?

Where does Paul talk about the "earthly kingdom of David" anywhere? He mentions David a few times in historical reference, but not at all in relationship to conversion or salvation.

Even though I am following Paul's path after Christ Jesus?

Yes the narratives can be compared against each other.. But which narrative is the true one from which one bases their conclusion? That is a rhetorical question, as I know which is correct. Amen to that, and we will find John 8:32-34 to help determine if what they consider the narrative is the...

Did and done..."the correct and incorrect narratives".

How can I prove I am in "lock-step" with the apostles when you don't even believe I live without sin? If we can find love in any particular doctrine, it is of God. There may indeed be one correct narrative, but there are hundreds of other incorrect narratives. Sorting them out takes the gift of...

After. I had read parts of it in prior years, but with the catholic tendencies. I love what she did, but right now she is just another dead lady. I guess we can love the dead though. I guess one could hold assumptions, and the assumptions of others, as true until one finds out a real truth to...

You kind of lost me there. Who exactly are you referring to? I went back and can see the "each other" refers to the correct and incorrect narratives. Thank you for your patience. Even the bible itself tells us how to identify the truth.

Jesus' mission was one step at a time, I suppose. His interactions with Gentiles does prove He had not written the off. Supra. As the words concerning Sidon were spoken by Jesus while telling the Jews that God had in times past ignored the Jews in favor of a Gentile, it makes sense again to...

Equating them to what? Propaganda will sometimes usurp truth. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao made a pretty good living at that. Men have to know what truth is in order to adhere to it.

You inferred that Jesus was more or less ignoring the Gentiles. So Jesus was not closing the "door" on the Gentiles at all. Modern day Israel. It was a city of Sidon once. I don't really see Cornelius or the Roman soldier or the Syrophoenician woman "going through Israel" Like us now, they...

Dead faith can't save. Live faith can save.

Not at all. God in Christ came and redeemed His people. God delivered the believers out of the hand of their enemies so they could serve Him without fear all of their lives. That makes me think of..."The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 31 Him hath God...
