Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
5:31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Here Peter was speaking of Christ's resurrection and how Christ has been...
The book of Revelation focuses on Israel, not the body of Christ. The churches addressed in chapters 2 and 3 are churches of God, composed of the believing remnant of Israel. The gospel preached is not the gospel of grace, but the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 24:14). The gospel of the kingdom...
Acts 4:2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Peter and John were preaching Jesus. They were preaching Jesus and faith in him unto eternal life (John 20:31). They were preaching his resurrection, and how that would ensure the...
Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
After a lame man was made whole, Peter preached to the crowd. It was Israel that Peter...
1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Revealed to Paul, was the mystery, that the sacrificial death of Jesus was a ransom for all who would believe, both Jew and Gentile.
This mystery was not made known to the prophets of the old testament scriptures...
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Jesus, after his resurrection, spoke unto the twelve apostles of the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). The aspect of the kingdom of God Jesus spoke of was the kingdom of the Davidic covenant; the...
1 Corinthians 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
This passage could not be a physical principal. It would not be possible to become uncircumcised physically.
This passage must be alluding to a...
Acts 1:1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his...
Peter and Paul did not preach the same gospel messages. Below are the differences between the gospels and Apostleship's of Peter and Paul.
Peter's Apostleship: His Apostleship was commanded by Jesus Christ along with the other eleven disciples before Paul. Peter was primarily the Apostle to...
It may be desirable for the church, the body, to have the physical blessings given to Israel, but the riches of Christ would be lost.
The church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation has not been given the new covenant, nor in fact, any covenant. If that would be the case, then we need to...
I was wrong in thinking the new testament was only for Israel. Upon further study, I have come to see that the new testament has been applied to the church, the body of Christ, in this dispensation of grace.
The new covenant is not the same as the new testament. The new covenant is future. The...
Genesis 13:14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
3:19 By which also he...
Can it be said that the new testament is just another way to say the new covenant?
Is this not just another error in translation?
In regard to God, a covenant is a stated obligation from God to perform a promise; this can be seen in God's promise not to flood the earth again in Genesis 9:9-11...
Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
12:3 And...

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The kingdom of heaven is not in heaven, it is the thousand year reign of Christ on earth (Revelation 20:4-6).
1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the...
