To add to my list below of which books are for the Jews and which for the Gentiles.

I forgot to mention that

I, II and III John are all written to the Jews only, not to the Christian. So you can skip those books, and don't worry about them. (I know they cause a lot of Christians to sweat and worry, but just don't!)

So add that one in.

I'm actually somewhat of a hillbilly who lives in Tennessee, which may explain my somewhat blunt manner. And unfortunately my Internet is so slow I can't surf the Net, which is why I have to restrict what I know to my Scofield Bible footnotes and a Bullenger book on Bible numerics I sprang for back 30 years ago.

Everything after Acts 20, but nothing before.

All the Pauline epistles except for Hebrews. I don't even think Paul wrote Hebrews and neither does Scofield.

The first three chapters of Revelation are for Christians. All the rest is about the Jews.

I and II Peter were written to the Jews.

Jude was to the Jews, and so was James.

All four gospels were to the Jews, so just skip them. They don't say what you think they do.

There's lots of definitions and codes you can learn if you have a Scofield Bible -- such as "gospel of grace" and "gospel of Christ." There's also "day of the Lord" and "day of Christ," two completely different things! Also "kingdom of God" and "kingdom of Heaven." And more. You get these fine distinctions from context and reading Scofield's footnotes.

Most of you in the room don't have a clue because you don't have a Scofield Bible, haven't read Bullenger.

Context redefines plain words and meanings, shows which scriptures to discount.

As a Dispensationalist, I know most of the Bible is written for the Jews and doesn't apply to Christians -- just the last few chapters of Acts, the Epistles (but not Hebrews), and that's about it.

The few books for Christians aren't to be taken at face value either. You have to consider context, which knocks out a lot more verses. There's really not much in the Bible that applies to the average Christian when you get right down to it, other than "believe on Jesus and be saved" and the verses about not being snatched out of God's hand.

You said, "You've missed it, the entire Scriptures are for Christians."

Not according to my Scofield Bible they are not all for Christians, unless you mean for a historical or literary purpose.

I've taught repeatedly on Sermon Audio that the four gospels, for example, were written to the Jews and only the Jews. Who did Jesus come here for anyway?

You see, if Jesus was talking to the Jews, then that means the message was to the Jews, not the Gentiles. We all know that the disciples were all Jews. Jesus was speaking in code, things that only Jews would understand. They have no application to Gentile believers.

Hebrews was also written to the Jews and only the Jews. That's why it's called "Hebrews" and not "Gentiles."

God's Word is wonderful, but you have to take God at His Word -- and that means context.

What exactly do you want the verse to say? That God draws only some? How would you go about explaining that as the meaning from the context? And how would reading the verse without the word men strengthen your contention that Christ did not draw all. You have implied that but you have made no effort to explain it.

7 But contrariwise, when they (The Twelve) saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

There is not two different gospels, but one gospel to two groups to whom the ministry went.

The Jews already had a 1600 year relationship with God and was in transition from the old covenant of law to the new covenant of grace and the gentiles were expereincing a brand new relationship with God through Christ and therefore the need for the particular types of instruction.

James, Peter, and John addressed their letters to Jews! That does not mean it does not have an application to the gentiles within the framework of 2 Ti 3:16,17.

Paul wrote 9 letters to gentile churches that instructs us throughout this whole age in how to walk and please God.

16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

I am just a believer in plain communication skills and I believe God has the greatest skills. He knows how to address whom he will! I know how to read!

The fact is he spoke to the Hebrews at the end of one of those ages that he made. So, the specifics of the letter are applied to them. (I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel).

But did he say anything to you and me specifically. If you can believe this he did!

When did you come out of Egypt and are you keeping the feast?

Ge 21:4 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

Is this a command for Christians?
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

When Jesus heals you, do you go to the Priest as per the Mosaic Law?

Well, you get the message.

If God addresses certain individuals or certain groups, why is that hard for us to grasp?
Consider Hebrews 1:1,

Since you responded to a post by Smith as if it were mine, I feel I need to clarify my position on the Scripture and it's application.

You said this,

Smith,
You've missed it, the entire Scriptures are for Christians.

Of course I would say a hearty AMEN to that. In fact I would even expand on that some and quote the four-fold benefit all Scripture in the Bible affords us Christians.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The one thing that it doesn't say is that all Scripture is written TO every Christian to obey.

For instance, how would you obey this?
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Or, how about this,

Ge 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

I know lots of special Scofield definitions and codes such as "gospel of grace" and "gospel of Christ." There's also "day of the Lord" and "day of Christ," two completely different things! Also "kingdom of God" and "kingdom of Heaven." And more.

You don't have a clue because you don't have a Scofield Bible, haven't read Bullenger.

Context redefines plain words and meanings. I'm the only one in the room smart enough to know what context is and which scripture to discount.

As a Dispensationalist, I know most of the Bible is written for the Jews and doesn't apply to Christians -- just the last few chapters of Acts, the Epistles (but not Hebrews), and that's about it.

I and II Peter were written to the Jews.

Jude was to the Jews, and so was James.

All four gospels were to the Jews, so just skip them. They don't say what you think they do.

Obviously the Old Testament was written to the Jews and we read it only for historical purposes. Christians are living in the church age, the age of grace, and the rules have all changed.

So then, it is not about seeing and believing, it is about hearing and believing.

But that is not all. We cannot discount the words of God in any way. If he said plainly that he would draw all men unto himself, this must be true and he did at one time in history draw all men unto himself through his Word and Mike said he did not believe the record!

Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and] which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

The drawing By Jesus of all men will be post resurrection and will not be with physical aids. There are no miracles but there is a record of the miracles in the Scriptures. There is no John the Baptist but there is a record of his ministry in Scripture. We have not heard the voice of the Father when he spoke from heaven but it is recorded in Scripture. So then, the Word of God is how he is drawing men today.

Many years after Israel was no longer a national entity, John wrote;
