How do you know you have the Holy Spirit if I may ask?..
dfw,
You don't know?
Well, it's because God's word says we do.
1Cor.6:
19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body[c] and in your spirit, which are Gods.
You should have read a little further...because just as I said the law is written of their heart. Now...this is all of what it says:In us only who believe ... The law still has power on sinners... It even says somewhere that those that sin under the law shall be judge by the law
Romans 2:12
All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.
So the law is not abolished for sinners who put themselves under the law and break them
No. For the very reason we are told...John 3:16, Ephesians 2:4, 5.Why do you think he calls us out of the world ?... Because satan is the ruler of this world... He will take it back one day
The main point is we are here as witnesses of His grace and mercy to those who are lost in their sin...you give Satan too much credit.Yep... Because the world is evil and satan is the prince of this world... That will change in the future... And the kingdoms of this world will belong to Christ
You asked me what I meant by lost.Ok .. But I don't know what that had to do with this topic
Yet we're told we're redeemed too...so the point is we are redeemed in our spirit but not in our body...remember Romans 8:23?Yes ..redemption is still to come
This you need to figure. Why do you think God used only the apostles?And now?..... Know anyone raising the dead and casting out devils?... Know any apostles?... Know any prophets?...we pray and god answers prayers but the gifts are few in us .. We have little strength for now but we don't deny his name
This is something I'll leave with you...we've been there before.Don't forget fulfill messianic prophecies... Reign 1000 years in Jerusalem rule the world.. Build his temple .. Create world peace... End war and weapons of war ... Rebuilt the cities of Israel enlarge Israel's borders.. Protect Israel and on and on
No...that is eternity, and it is not messianic. Jesus returns the reign to God and eternity begins.This is spoken of in the Old Testament as well being a messianic prophecy
Is 65:17
"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
What? An Old Testament prophecy not fulfilled?
Don't bank on it...Jesus is reigning right now.I'm guessing That there is a new earth?... Regardless it's still the earth just Renovated ... But Jesus comes 1000 years before the new heaven and new earth
You'll see how it works.... Yep on mt olives to be sent to Israel as he said .. You will not see me again until??? So Israel will see him again and receive him as king
Nope...another huge misnomer. Jesus has no desire to reign over those who don't want Him...but this too you'll find out. Jesus is coming to judge. and when He does that...you can go ask Him about why He didn't reign a literal 1000 years.Established in us only ... Not the world.. But when he returns... That will change ...the world too will be under him
You should have read a little further...because just as I said the law is written of their heart. Now...this is all of what it says:
Romans 2:12-15
12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;
13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
14 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,
15 in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts,their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,
So contrary to what you're saying, the law is written on the heart of everyone and they will have no excuse for that reason.
No. For the very reason we are told...John 3:16, Ephesians 2:4, 5.
The main point is we are here as witnesses of His grace and mercy to those who are lost in their sin...you give Satan too much credit.

Epehesians 1:22
22 And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
Already done.

parousia70 said in post 1:
The term "Fullness of the Gentiles" is oft equated with the notion of quantity, amount, or number count of Gentile believers, but does scripture support such a notion?
Yes.
Romans 11:25 doesn't have to say "until the fulness (pleroma) of the number of the Gentiles be come in" in order to mean that, just as, for example, Revelation 6:11 doesn't have to say "until the number of their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled (pleroo)", in order to mean that.
When Paul says "until the fulness (pleroma) of the Gentiles be come in" (Romans 11:25), he means until a full number of genetic Gentile individuals have become saved,
Immediately after the tribulation, at Jesus' 2nd coming (Matthew 24:29-30), all the unsaved elect genetic Jews will become saved (Romans 11:26-28) by God's grace when they see the returned Jesus in person and believe in him (Zechariah 12:10-14). And so they will all become part of the church at that time, just as when genetic Jews believe in Jesus now they become part of the church, for there are now no believers outside of the church (Ephesians 4:4-6).
And the genetic Jews who will become believers at the 2nd coming will all become part of the church by receiving some measure of the Holy Spirit, who is "the spirit of grace and of supplications" in Zechariah 12:10 (Hebrews 10:29c, Romans 8:26), just as genetic Jewish believers today become part of the church by receiving some measure of the Holy Spirit. For it's by receiving some measure of the Holy Spirit that both genetic Jewish believers and genetic Gentile believers become part of the church (1 Corinthians 12:13).
After Jesus' 2nd coming (Revelation 19:7 to 20:3, Zechariah 14:3-5) will occur the millennium (Revelation 20:4-6, Zechariah 14:8-21), during which, Gentile nations will come to seek the returned Jesus ruling the whole earth (Zechariah 8:22, Zechariah 14:9, Psalms 72:8-11) on the restored throne of David (Isaiah 9:7) in the earthly Jerusalem (Isaiah 2:1-4, Zechariah 14:8-11,16-19). And the bodily resurrected church will reign on the earth with the returned Jesus during the millennium (Revelation 20:4-6, Revelation 5:10, Revelation 2:26-29). For the church is Israel (Romans 11:1,17,24, Ephesians 2:12,19, Galatians 3:29, Revelation 21:9,12; 1 Peter 2:9-10).

Not me ... The word says satan is ruler of this world
John 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out
It does not mean what you think it means
I do know... I was wondering how you know you have the Spirit?..
What does it mean then?
What did Jesus mean by "Now"?
It means Jesus is about to go to the cross and receive all power ...
Wait a minute... you are saying He received "ALL Power"? at the cross?
If you claim He received "all power" at the cross, How is He not ruling today?
You can receive all power from god but not exercise that authority until an appointed time for whatever purpose you choose to do so
Ok, so what power over believers does Satan currently have then?
