So Jesus is the one who is, and who was, and who is to come?

Guarantee you that he isn't ignoring it at all... And neither do I. We (Steko and I) agree that in the Body there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. So, with that in mind, to whom is the "them/their" referring?

That "very large company of devout and learned men" was full of men who were, just like you and me, just as fallible as everyone else. This is why your argument is fallacious, because men can be wrong about things, even men in positions of authority. This is one such case where those men were...

Someone doesn't know what "begging the question" means. Scripture shows this to be true. Saying it doesn't make it so. And so God can't use that to accomplish His purposes? Or do you reject the idea that God can use the actions of wicked men for good, as He did with Joseph and his...

Correct. Correct. None of which are significant enough to change the overarching story of the Bible. No, it means that I believe that the original manuscripts have been copied hundreds of times over the course of 3500 years in order to preserve them, and that, because men are fallible...

It doesn't matter how many people claim it was written by Paul. If the evidence doesn't support it, and such a position goes against what the Bible teaches, then the belief is false, no matter who those people are who believe Paul wrote Hebrews. Saying it doesn't make it so. An appeal to...

Translation: I can't defend my beliefs and so I'm going to straw-man my opponent and not even try to defend my beliefs.

Uh, no, it's not.

Also, you didn't answer my questions. Please answer the questions I asked: Was it wrong for the US army in World War 2 to use inflatable tanks, sound effects, and radio trickery to fool the Nazis? Was it evil? Was it wrong for God to trick the enemy army at Ai into an ambush? Was it evil?

Again, there is an entire thread on the topic of lying.

This is called begging the question. It's a logical fallacy for a reason. It's also not what I said. I said that God will manipulate Satan into defeat. He tells us as much in Revelation. Do you deny that God will bring about His own victory in the end?

I would argue that God is better at manipulation than the devil is, because He will manipulate him into defeat. God is definitely a better chess player than the devil. Lying and deception are not quite the same thing. You're equivocating. On this and on manipulation. You're talking about...

Manipulation != temptation

Or your understanding of what scripture says is in error...

You seem to have lost the point of your argument, or at the very least, forgotten the point Steko made. We in the Body of Christ are saved, past tense, the moment we believed. Our hope, our confidence, is in God, that He will not cast us into the lake of fire on judgement day, because He...

Again, I believe the entire Bible, from Moses to John. No, except in the original manuscripts. What does that have to do with anything in this thread? Of the Jews under the New Covenant. Are you a Jew under the New Covenant? What tribe are you from? I did. You ignored it. You keep...

The idea is that the promises God makes are as good as fulfilled. Or are you saying that God can't deliver on His promises when He promises something? Our hope is in Him. We fully expect that we are saved when we place our trust in Him. The fact is that He promised to save us if we placed our...

No. Jews who believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah who came to establish His eternal Kingdom. I'm not talking about Christians. Two. Two. None. Don't try to turn this around on me. It's not going to work. I believe the ENTIRE Bible. You don't, because: I asked: "Why do you...

Jews and proselytes under the New Covenant. The phrase you're looking for is "raises the question." Define "faiths."
