Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Mark wrote of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Mark identifies his deity as the Son of God, and that he is Christ, the Messiah.
Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission...
Hello
I like your response.
Just a point for you to consider.
In Romans 11 Paul is speaking about Israel.
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. verse 1
Even so then at this present time also there...
Hello
I will tackle just a few verses;
Galatians 5:4 Paul is saying we can't be justified by the law after we are saved. Justified here is not to eternal life but walking in the sight of God blameless. Fallen from grace means not relying on the Spirit and the provision of grace but on the law...
Hi
If you have believed the gospel and trusted Christ to have died for your sins you can not lose your salvation.
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
This is the gospel by which we are saved.

28:19 Go ye...
Hi
Those in unbelief can also be among the saved. Look at the verse below, where the brethren are being spoken to.
Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Hebrews 3:12
Hi
To view the other sheep as Gentiles is held by lots of people. I just don't understand this to be the case, but I could be wrong and you and others right.
God always made provisions for the Gentiles to be saved. Paul, in the verses you gave, is the Apostle to the Gentiles and makes the most...
Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
This is the Lord Jesus Christ coming to establish the prophetic, Davidic kingdom promised to the Israel of God, the little flock. Jesus will sit and reign...
Matthew 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his...
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Jesus is teaching the disciples of his coming and the time of Jacob's trouble, the...
Hello
Yes you are right...always by grace through faith by Christ and his blood sacrifice of himself.
But in the verses below, there is an old and a new covenant with Israel.
Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and...
Hello
And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; John 11:51
That nation is Israel.
And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. John...
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Jesus Christ is the good shepherd, and Israel his sheep. Psalm 100:3
John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and...
Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
9:16 For where a testament is, there must also...
To label the church, the body of Christ, as new testament is not really accurate. Israel was given the new testament.
Psalms 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto...
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Genesis 18:18
Israel is the nation; the Gentiles are the nations.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou...

I said
The disciples did not have the full knowledge of the cross
You said
Which is?
Luke 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
18:32 For he...
19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Matthew 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Jesus, when...
