Jesus Christ has ratified the New Covenant, but has not yet enacted it. Its unenacted status is what necessitates that Jesus be the guarantee of the New Covenant (Hebrews 7:22). If enactment had already occurred, no need for the guarantee would exist. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is that...

Regarding Adam's sin being imputed to the human race ( Romans 5:12-21 ) is the central passage. In verse 12 it's declared that death is the penalty for all men because they have sinned. This doesn't refer to the fact that all men sin in their daily experience since the verb is in the aorist...

In man's relation to God, Scripture presents three major imputations: (a) the Adamic sin to the human race, (b) the sin of man to the Substitute, (c) and the righteouusness of God to the believer. These imputations may be either real or judicial. The imputation that is real is the...

Neither. In Christ, Tracey

Even though some assert the Church is the "true Israel" the facts of Scripture don't support them. The writers of the New Testament consistently make a distinction between the two. The term Israel is used over seventy times in the New Testament, and in each case referencing ethinic Israel...

My opinion is that the reality would be nearly parallel among Christians if a new divine project were to be forced in at this time to supersede Christianity. Up until the time of the cross Judaism had not only been engendered, promoted, and blessed of God, it was His will for a chosen people...

Paul would disagree with you: "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor the Gentiles, nor to the church of God" (1 Cor. 10:32). The Bible presents the origin, present estate, and destiny of four classes of rational created beings in this universe: the angels, the Gentiles, the Jews, and the...

Michael is the only one given the title of archangel (Jude 1::9). Gabriel is never said to be one, though is often so styled by men. Raphael, along with Uriel and Jeremiel are not mentioned in the Bible, but are found in the Apocryphal writings. In Christ, Tracey

Great decision. Carole Lieberman M.D. “As a psychiatrist, I have had to evaluate and treat people who talk in the third person. They are most often extremely narcissistic, with a desperate need to think of themselves as celebrities or a very important person, who merit the awe that...

History shows that the "prince for his own behalf" is a reference to the Roman consul Lucius Scipio Asiaticus, who brought about the defeat of Antiochus the Great. The reference to "the reproach offered by him," refers to Antiochus' treatment of the Roman ambassadors at a meeting in Lysimachia...

In some listings of the twelve tribes both Ephraim and Manasseh are numbered as separate tribes, but no explaination is given for the substitution of Joseph in this one. Also the Bible doesn't tell us why Dan was omitted, but Alford states that ancient interpreters theorized that the Antichrist...

A. T. Robertson identifies the word measure (Gr., metron) as "the accusative case of general reference in apposition with the verb emetresen." The implication of this statement is that whether man or angel measured it, the measurement would be the same. Word Picutres in the New Testament, VI...

This prophecy was fulfilled by the Babylonian Captivity. In Christ, Tracey [/INDENT]

"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts" (Gal. 5:24). Notice the tense of the verb in this verse is properly represented. In a past and completed sense the Christian's flesh, with its affections and lusts, was crucified when Christ was crucified...

Most determining is the truth that in His resurrection - the pattern of the Christian resurrection - Christ left nothing of His material body in the tomb. It should be noted also that Paul stated the resurrection body will be related to the present body as the harvest is related to the seed...

The Word of God declares that in every instance, whether saved or not, the human body will be raised from the dead. Christ's words are incapable of any other interpretation: "For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; and hath given Him...

I must have missed the reports concerning the bodily resurrection of millions across the globe. Seriously, an analysis of the method of interpretation is called for when discussing prophetic issues. It's obvious we're not on the same page. Once spiritualization is allowed it's difficult to...

For consideration. Was the gospel preached also to them that are dead - Many, as Doddridge, Whitby, and others, understand this of those who are spiritually dead, that is, the Gentiles, and suppose that the object for which this was done was that "they might be brought to such a state...
