    Growth Suggested Reading for Israel/Church Distinctions

    Yes from what I can tell, the first heaven is our atmosphere and the second heaven is the starry spaces. The third heaven is a real place where the Father and Son are residing personally, now, while the Spirit of God resides here on Earth. I'm not sure where the OT saints are. What's great is...

    Whomever the Spirit of God places into it -- they're the ones in it. I know the Spirit of God is "resident" on Earth in His current capacity since Pentecost and has definitely "baptized all..." (and those of us like the believers in that context) into one Body... I don't know however, if God...

    Regardless of one's position in God's program, I know (fortunately for me) one unique promise for "in Christ ones" (a.k.a. "Christians") only is Eph 2:7, how that... "He, in the coming ages (plural) will display the riches of His grace through his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Q: What...

    I certainly agree. For example, a saved (into the Church) Jewish teenager is a huios "a mature son" and a saved (into the Church) gentile adult is a huios "a mature son" ... They're both mature sons, positionally, in Christ, in the mind of God. Jews saved at different points in God's...

    I love how you're taking the time to look into it. I pondered that question 5-6 weeks ago when I wrote a short paper on two new covenants (a simple compare/contrast the "who" "what" "when"). When I ponder a question sometimes the Spirit of God bumps me into someone like you... that is looking...

    The Apostle Paul was dispensational (Paul was the "steward" of the dispensation of the grace of God toward the Church) way before Darby. Ephesians 3:1 - if it is so that you (grace believers in the context) have heard of the "administration (oikonomia - house rules, economy, dispensation) of...

    Hello!

    The only things I have that are of real value ... have been given to me in the realm of my glorious position in the Glorified Resurrected One... the Son of His love...seated at the right hand of the Father. I think there are like 200 verses with "into Him".. "in Him"... "intimately together...

    Loving the Lord, not the world

    ... Satan's major play through history is to get the believer to live independently of God. Basically, a believer can't "value" the satanic system and "value" the Father at the same time. We can use the system appropriately, or we can value (love) the system and depend on it instead of God...

    I can't believe there are people looking at the two new covenants-which I think is great. Galatians 3:15 lays out in human terms that once a covenant is cut no man can add to it or remove from it. That's something we can understand. That's the nature of a covenant and that's how God works them...

    The further you go down this path the healthier you will be as a grace believer. CI Scofield Study Bible notes "Law or Grace" by Dehaan Lewis Sperry Chafer Darby (his translation, called the "DBY" - is excellent) Clarence Larkin - "Dispensational Truth" (drawings, notes, timelines) "Me! A...

    I am nothing but a failure

    Would becoming more specialized in the same field help? What about becoming a diesel engine technician? I see job growth for that is about 15% for the next 8 years. If that's the case you may end up with options work at a place you like better. With regard to student loan debt, I think it is a...

    Hello!

    Hi - Thanks StoveBolts! I love that verse. I've learned it's one of a few "perfect periphrastics" in the NT... For by grace "you are" (still) ... "having been" (in the past) saved by God by grace through faith. KJV says it one way and NKJV says it the other way and both are true...

    In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the satisfactory sacrifice for our sins. 1 Jn 4:10

    Hello!

    OhFarouk, I'm really doing great. I love your pointing out in your signature that it all began with His love. His love was the motivation to send His Son - and He certainly proved His love. (NASB) 1 Jn 410 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be...

    Hello!

    Hi everyone. I thought I'd join and get involved in an online community of believers. I'm missing that. I'm a grace believer saved by God by grace through faith. His Son Jesus died "for my sins," was buried, and rose again the third day. That's the only reason I'm right with God and the only...
