    Who’s it to?

    I don't have any problem with this letter being directed at Jewish believers primarily. The title is certainly one of the best evidences. However, the title is not part of the actual letter--it isn't "scripture". It's interesting to note that the letter reads like other letters in the Bible...

    If you want to narrow it down, just tell me which are Paul and which are someone preaching the physical kingdom.

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    Umm...that dizziness was coming from your doctrine. You can only say Paul preached a different kingdom from extra-biblical knowledge. The text doesn't support it. Here, you show me the difference. Tell me without looking in your bible who was doing the speaking in each of the following...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    So the kingdom of heaven is not the kingdom of the God in heavenly places? The kingdom of heaven is really the kingdom on earth? So when Jesus said to pray “Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”, he didn't really mean the kingdom of God in heaven, because that kingdom was really on the...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    My point was that assurance doesn't equal salvation. It never does. And Jesus' words are about the heavenly kingdom, which you claim Paul was talking about.

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    That's not the way Jesus saw it. Luke 6:25 (KJV) Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Matthew 7:21 (KJV) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    Hebrews 2:3 (KJV) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him]; Hebrews 2:9 (KJV) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned...

    Maybe there are some that say they preached the resurrection before he went to the cross, but the claim is mainly a false dichotomy, which the MAD view touted here requires to make headway.

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    "The poor of this world, rich in faith". Where does that say "Jew"? He told the disciples the kingdom was within them. That was before the crucifixion and final rejection of Christ. But the good news wasn't that a Jew would take the good news to the Gentiles. The good news was that Christ had...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    Just because they were expecting one kind of salvation, doesn't mean God wasn't planning the other kind. Luke 2:10 (KJV) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 17:20 (KJV) And when he was demanded of the...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    But it wasn't there. And it could be delayed. The first good news was when Jesus arrived on the scene. Luke 2:10 (KJV) And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings (gospel) of great joy, which shall be to all people. But why was it good news? Because it was...

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    How could Jesus die for our sins if he didn't also come for us? John 10:16 (KJV) And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.

    Why is a "promise made" a gospel? Didn't God promise Adam he would die if he sinned in the garden? But that was bad news, not good.

    Earthly gospel? What does that mean?

    Please correct my misunderstanding about the gospel of the kingdom.

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    I guess your response explains a lot. "It's true because it's true." Is just as bad a reason is "It's false because it's false." Maybe you should use your imagination a little more.

    Constitutional Monarchy

    Like the kind that "cause" people to kill, rape, etc., maybe? Which hopefully would have been punished appropriately when it first started.

    when did Peter use the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven ?

    Which is not an answer to my question. And I'm not the one saying there are a bunch (but not all) of believers in Jesus Christ who still have to work their way to salvation.
