Of course you just ignored what I said about some being saved by the"good news" that the Lord Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (1 Jn.5:1-5) while other people were saved by the "good news" that Christ died for our sins. Common sense dictates that the "good news" in both instances were...

Because the thing dispensed from God to Paul was specifically a "stewardship" and a stewardship is not a period of time. It covers a period of time but it itself is not a period of time. I have provided serveral verses that specifically speak of the present dispensations and have also quoted...

So even though the Lord Jesus said that He would not send the Holy Spirit to His disciples untilHe departed to be with the Father He changed His mind without telling anyone and did send the Holy Spirit before He departed? He was not sent but unto the house of Israel but do you deny, with John...

Mark, my view is supported by the "context." Yours is not. Of course your idea is flatly contradicted by the verses which I quoted. That is obviouly why you refused to even attempt to deal with those verses. To shine forth in the earthly kingdom (Mt.13:43). The disciples asked, Where Lord...

Paul was referring to facts about the Lord Jesus and believing those facts brings salvation (see 1 Jn.5:1) and a person cannot be saved without being justified before God. Here is the passage: Acts 17:2-3: "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them...

The stewardship responsibility in the present dispensation belongs ONLY to the saved. For instance, the "dispensation of the Law" or the "dispensation of the Mosaic Covent" was only for the children of Israel. Paul says that the Gentiles "have not the Law" (Ro.2:14). In His grace, Jerry

I already gave you the verses which you requested earlier and you had nothing to say about them. Now I will give you three verses written by Paul where he speaks of a dispensation which was given to him: "If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you"...

You failed to even attempt to respond to what I said about John 20:22 and John 16:5-7. Dr.E.W. Bullinger was a well known Greek expert and he recognized that any reference to "holy spirit" in the Scriptures without the definite article is not referring to the third Person of the Godhead...

Let us look at similiar verses from the gospel of Luke: Luke 17:36-37: "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left. And answering they said to Him, "Where, Lord?" And He said to them, "Where the body is, there also the *vultures will be gathered." Of course...

Here is one of the things which Paul did when he went to Jerusalem: Galatians 2:2: "It was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that I might be running...

Tyhe Lord Jesus´words there were in answer to the following questin from His disciples concering what will happen at the "end of the age": Matthew 24:3: "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" Earlier the Lord Jesus spoke the...

If you remember you said the following: If the baptism was the same them why were you not baptized with fire, as the Baptist said?: Luke 3:16: "I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with holy...

So do you continue ro maintain that even though Paul tells the Christians to be looking for the Lord Jesus with their heads outstretched in anticipation of seeing Him appear, but in reality (if you are right) then He could not even appear until three and one half years later at the earliest? In...

1 Cor.4:1: "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God." Of course being stewards of the mysteries of God must include the following mystery which is referring to the gospel: Rom. 16:25: "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according...

The context proves you are in error: Mk.13:27-33: "[I] then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of...

You do not seem to understand that the present stewardship is in regard to "service" and not to "salvation." Of course it was not given to him while he remained in unbelief. It was given to him AFTER he had already believed the good news. So his stewardship responsiblity was NOT to believe...

Yes, and when those words are spoken the tribulation is already over. The verses which I cited where the Christian is told by Paul to be looking for the appearing of the Lord Jesus with outstretched heads were written before the tribulation occured. The verses which you make reference are in...

Since the gospel comes in the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Thess.1:5) then it is certain that no one could believe apart from that fact. The only ones who hear the gospel and do not believe are those who "resist the Holy Spirit" (Acts 7:51). However, the one who hears the gospel must use his...

Mark, According to your mistaken ideas the Christian was told to be ready for the Lord Jesus´ return even though there was a "zero" chance of His returning at that time. That is because, if you are right, He couldn´t return until the tribulation was over. We must throw our reason to the...

Hi Schroeder, Do you fault me even though I take the approach which Paul tells us to take?: " Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own...
