When you make an idol or worship idols it has happened already. 1 cor 10: 19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I...

The law leads sinners to Jesus. You cannot assume they understand their guilt before God. The historic facts of the gospel do not save. Jesus saves sinners who are drawn to him, as the end of the law, for righteousness.Rom10:4

We are not supposed to make such images; Deut4: 12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. 13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he...

That is Romans 15....How could the actual Kingdom begin without The King being on the throne? That is why I said inaugurate; Acts:2 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30...

1 cor10: 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table...

Hello Josiah, Not sure what you mean here? Would you be able to clarify this a bit. I will help if I can.

Covenant theology, is biblical theology, rightly understood. 2cor6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. The teaching of...

God is a Covenant making/ Covenant keeping God. On the last day, there will only be one people of God. In Christ there is only one people now. Rom2: 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one...

David wrote; 2 sam23:5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. Heb.13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our...

The New Testament Scriptures, then, are the finality of Divine revelation in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (Lk. 24:25–27, 44–47; 1 Tim. 3:16). As the fulfillment and finality of Divine revelation, the New Testament is inherently eschatological. This eschatological aspect is...

Note: The eternal redemptive purpose extends from personal election (Eph. 1:4; Rom. 11:5; 2 Pet. 1:10), to predestination (Eph. 1:5, 11; Rom. 8:29–30), covenant redemption (Rom. 3:24–26; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14; Heb. 9:12; 1 Pet. 3:18), effectual calling (Rom. 8:30; 9:24; 1 Cor...
