Sister Pennnnnnned,
My comment to you was intended as encouragement, not rebuke. Sometimes I get the impression that you see the glass as half empty. Now I realize that I tend to be a bury my head in the sand type; I should probably be more concerned about certain things that the world is doing. I just wanted to remind you that no matter how much the world rages against the Christ and His church, he will bring all their efforts to naught. He will laugh at their vain attempts to thwart His decree.
God bless.

Thanks John...maybe it explains the leg I have growing out of my neck. Embarassing.

Saul of Tarsus was in the old covenant.
His sin was not being counted by God along with the rest of Israel until the law came.

all people born in Israel were saved from their sins?

nope.

you had people sacrificing their babies to molech, deep into the occultic and pagan practices of the people around them.

many did great evil.

in the time of the major prophets, the prophets were some of the few that remained faithful to God.

God chose Mary, she was humble of heart, Paul was on the road to judgment as were the Pharasees who crucified Christ, "Paul, why do you persecute me?"

the Hebrew people had to reckon with God of their sin.

Anyone here have a link to a sermon about those in the OC looking forward to the Messiah?

Seriously?

and... its tripping over the same question the disciples tripped over and tripped over the whole time. so when is this kingdom? its already come (1Cor15 - he reigns until all souls of His are brought in and the last enemy is death). The tension between already come and the future completion at the resurrection... throughout the gospels for any who type in the word "kingdom" and study.

and they looked at the magnificence of the temple, Christ doesn't say, oh great building, he says, "I'm the temple" and tells them their temple will be dismantled, every stone.

why? Christ is the temple.

The Kingdom is now available to Jew and Gentile. The Holy Spirit is with His people! The Holy Spirit empowers us to remain in Him and to be faithful to Him, that is victory even in an evil world.

But we are in a rough times and we are ending an era when the church merged with the state and was prosperous and often lazy, and moving into a time of persecution.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

I just came across this on youtube for those who are interested first hand in MacArthur's thoughts

more ecumenicalism.

he will either lead his church out of Babylon or be Babylon. there is no "third way" in Christianity.

I know, I know, how could they be Babylon, they don't babble? Maybe to God his conference was babbling.

Shall we condemn the underground church of China for the miracles they are seeing? Shall we obey our western, never tested false prophets who repeat the theology of their daddies and proclaim they have the mark of the suffering servant... when our brethren in China actually have the mark of the suffering servant? Men of God who have been scourged for the name of Christ.

Lets not forget many evangelicals in China welcomed the oncoming communst rev because they had been taught the pretrib rapture theory and were NOT PREPARED to suffer for the name of Christ.

Just like the generation of Moses left in the desert...

Quite so, Penny.
"And when his eyes were opened, he saw no man".
So when Paul opened his eyes, he could not see.
It only makes sense if it was physical sight.

after the light, he is blinded and told to go, and he obeys -- this is not spiritual blindness, but a spiritual awakening -- in his physically blinded condition, he stops persecuting Christ and finally obeys him, walking in the dark, although he has yet to be indwelled with the Holy Spirit or really understanding what Christ has done on the cross.

reminds me of the writer of amazing grace, I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see. but the writer of the hymn was now physically blind, when he had sight, he had been working in the slavery business.

However, if one were to study Anabaptists, the first Baptists, some were way off, others were remnant believers who took up persecution rather than compromise their testimony and to receive believer's baptism.

scofield has essentially re-Romanized what came OUT of Rome during the reformation.

scofieldism is ecumenical, and in fact many believe that the ideas were designed by a Jesuit. Whatever it is, by not knowing or understand the Kingdom of God, many number among them that never counted the cost. I know many among them who just don't know better, the best antidote is reading the bible without Jesuit commentators.

Here's a huge listout for those who want to research this:
