  • The church with opportunity had little strength, but great faith, and for that they were commended by the Son of Man.

    Jesus did come back in that generation as he said. He is here with us now. He lives with us. We can't see him physically of course but one day we will.🤗

    Thanks for touching on the Replacement Theology issue. When people use that term, it’s their way of trying to shut down the conversation. Anyone familiar with the Old Testament and with the LXX will know immediately that the term ekklesia (church) is not some new concept; it goes all the way back to the time of Moses’ day. When Jesus said that he will build his church, the disciples weren’t scratching their heads saying “what’s a ekklesia (church)?” They knew exactly what he was referring to, especially because their translation of the Scriptures was the LXX; therefore, they were very familiar with what he was getting at.

    If we pray for the Jews to come in large numbers to believe in the true Christ is a good and the right thing. But we should pray similarly to all other peoples adverse to Christ Message such as the Muslims and others!

      Paul is simply using a metaphor for his consistent teaching that Gentiles become members of the commonwealth of Israel by faith (cf. Ephesians 2).

    At 42:47 Bruce, you refer to baptism as having the seal of the Holy Spirit inscribed on you which should give us great comfort and great peace knowing we have that inscription written on us when we are baptized - God autographed you at your baptism. So, in other words, are you saying that all infants are saved when they are baptized because that is what it sounds like?

    • @GoreBruce
      @GoreBruce  Před měsícem

      There is nothing we do that 'guarantees' regeneration. That is God's sovereign business. 'They were born, not of the blood (race), nor of the well of the flesh (human efforts), nor of the will of man (human authority), but of God.' (John 1:13). God normally works through standard means, however (e.g., baptism, nurture and admonition of the Lord, etc.), so parents are assured that as they act in genuine faith and responsible parenting, they may confidently rest in the assurance that 'the promise is to you and to your children.'

    • @carolfoster6990
      @carolfoster6990 Před měsícem

      @@GoreBruce So, in other words, if a person believes in the gospel they will be saved, whether they are baptized as infants or not. My question is, when is a person saved?

    • @GoreBruce
      @GoreBruce  Před měsícem

      A person is 'saved' in the past based on God's predestination (Romans 8:28-30); a person is saved in the present when they are regenerated, which may or may not be tied to the moment of baptism (Romans 6:1-11); a person will be saved in the future when they enter glory.

    The people who claim that, 'it's replacement theology', cannot see the grand pan of redemption for humanity. Those who were born before the covenant of Moses who are now in the kingdom of heaven, have they replaced the Israel of God? No most certainly not but they are counted in the faithful believers. Just like the believers from that nation have received the promise so have those who were pre and those who are after that nation.
    We { all believers by faith in Christ the redeemer } are counted in the Israel of God.
    All to be acknowledged and testified by The Messiah at the great judgement seat.
    Are you a sheep of the LORD or are you a goat of the world? Cause He is the judge, fullstop.
    Not you or me or any other person who thinks they know who is going to be in God's kingdom.

    Just finished listening for 2nd time thru. Cudos for keeping up with your Calvinist-Preterist paradigm. I did research your claim about the Philadelphia name change. That was a double Pinocchio. Wiki says Vesapian (70AD era) gave it a cognomen (surname) of Falvia, as opposed to the previous emperor name of Caesar. A cognomen would be ADDED to the name, not replaced, as Philadelphia-Flavia. So your early date claim is still in wanting, IMO.
    Second, the scripture claims the hour of testing upon the whole world, and you fairly identify world in that context as Roman World. YET, NERO's persecution (mid-late 60's) was LOCAL, NOT across the empire. Domitian (96ad+) was across the empire and short. Strike two on early date.
    Finally, while I am not a dispensationalist, I found the Calvinist puff plug for reformed theology not being called replacement theology unconvincing. Reformed teaching does replace Israel as the elect in the eye of God with any person who believes as the seed and elect, and I question that Calvinist-Augustinian predestination claim. The promise to Abraham is not spiritual alone (reformed model), but physical AND spiritual. There is always a true-Jew-remnant (Rom 9), but there are also the promises and covenants given. You quoted Gal 4 about the heavenly Jerusalem, and rightly so, the NEW has replaced the OLD is system, purpose, function, but Paul continues in v28
    28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
    Why specify Isaac if the promise is from faith as Abraham performed? Why? Because linage, heritage, ethnicity MATTERS to GOD. Abraham-Isaac-Jacob >> Nation of Israel, the elect (For a purpose, not for individual salvation). This is the physical path.
    So Paul in Gal 4 confirms the OT and NT teaching that Israel is spiritual and Physical, with the greater Jew being a new covenant/heart circumcised/New Jerusalem NT believer. BUT, he quotes Is 54:1, which means what?
    ‘Sing, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
    burst into song, shout for joy,
    you who were never in labour;
    because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband,’
    says the Lord.
    Speaking of more children from a desolate barren woman (House of Israel) over Judah who was never divorced. The barren woman in Isaiah refers to Hosea 1, the House of Israel, the unfaithful northern tribes, who are divorced and barren, yet multiply physically across the earth as gentiles per the physical birthright and promise. Thus Gal 4 ,under the new covenant, is a physical and spiritual fulfillment of his elect (physical Israel) believing and all foreigners who believe and come into the new Jerusalem. This is called Two House theology, naming Israel as the House of Judah (Jews) and House of Israel (Scattered in 700's BC). Two House accounts for God's elect physically and spiritually in both OT and NT era. Reformed only accounts for his elect spiritually in OT and NT, and totally dismisses any promises to ethnic Israel past 70AD. The gospel has gone to the world, all nations, ethnicities, and at the same time, God has kept his promises to Israel in the New covenant and called a remnant, spiritually, from the multiplied and fulfilled promises of Gen 12, 17, 48 to be sand of the sea.
