Let the Reformed truth continue to be sounded ... "a Church chosen to everlasting life, agreeing in true faith" (Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day XXI) Agreeing is a key word in the HC. So which Reformed faith would that be? The sects version that refuse to acknowledge that they have back slidden from former attainments and so start their reformation by leaving out the truths that have already been attained; the ones that would cost them the loss of temporal comfort(and the wrathful faces men instead of their smiles) if they embraced those attainments at this time in History? |

Are you saying, EP, that those who believe that in the New Testament covenant *there is neither Jew nor Greek but are all one in Christ Jesus, no matter which nation or people group they emanate from* are in error? John if I said that I'd be contradicting God's word in the first part of what you ask and I'd have great reason to fear. No, that is not what I'm saying. But Romans 11 makes it clear, there are two branches from the root stock and one is a wild in graft and the other a natural branch. Both are at this present state scattered abroad in every nation. So that is what we have to work with at the present time and to sort through according to the whole of Scripture. And to do that right now without the knowledgeable assistance of our elder sister, the Jews. John, there is neither male nor female in Christ, but I don't think that goes without qualification either, and it appears the Scripture has much to say about order and unfortunately some confuse that with the worth or value in the respective duties of each in Christ, not dissimilar to the confusion of place and worth of Jew and Gentile. |

Thank God there are smart Jewish candidates running in Chicago! Candidate(s) plural Jim? Or are you referring the Mr. Emmanuel who did what Mrs. Clinton did a quick change of residence for strategic reasons. That's seems fishy to me. What qualifies a man for being 'smart' in your estimation? Why wouldn't I rather a wise man who would rule in the fear of God because he believed in the deity of Jesus Christ and his accountability to Him as his Lord? Granted I'd ask no brother to swear an unlawful oath to a deist Constitution, but perhaps someday soon that won't be necessary and those who vote won't have to choose between two evils. Nor will false teachers abound on every side whose teaching kills souls, not bodies. |

David clearly understood that Christ and His elect(children of faith, through all the ages, the true isreal) were spiritual, not earthly. This is replacement theology and is also errant, just as the dispensationalist error that you point out. Just another error that has caused major divisions and needs to be repented of and turned from, as should all erroneous doctrine. Zeal without knowledge, in a day like this is a dangerous combination. Where does our true knowledge come from? Paul in his zeal and in association with the Scribes and Pharisees, even though under one of the most esteemed teachers in the nation, during a time of reformation, (Hebrew 9:10) persecuted Steven and hauled men and women off to prison. Acts 9:4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
This has happened in Church History both Canonical and continuing. |

I have always said... Joshua 24:19And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
21And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. 22And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. This is a type of a Covenanted nation, the antitype was Scotland, England and Ireland, but Scotland in particular. I attempted to explain this but my post was too long and to shorten it ruined it. May God speak for Himself. |

Wow! An internet poster smarter than John Gill.
Guess you missed the fact that not everyone that is reformed in Soteriology is an A millenialist or a Postmillenialist. But, if you write a commentary on the bible, and a Body of Divinity of the lenght and duration of Gill, I'll read it with the same respect I do His. I was referring to Jim's author of the booklet he mentioned and your reference to John Gill is going over my head. |
