3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Yes this is the gospel Paul was preaching from the day he met Jesus on...

A simple question but does not seem to have a simple answer and we wonder why we are so divided.

Just curious is it recorded in the bible anywhere so I can read it or is it just scattered in bits and pieces and I have to put it together to understand?

Interesting I might return to this one to discuss a little further with you after I get more answers for a better thought.

Galatians 1:6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should...

Still gathering thoughts just putting them to as I accumulate them And upon the Israel of God ... It is surprising that any could misunderstand this, as if Paul were, in any manner, invoking a blessing upon racial Jews. "Israel of God," in the true sense, with Paul, was never racial Israel, but...

I think the tree is Abraham, myself. I think scripture makes it clear the tree is the old Israel (the Jews) Gods chosen people to bring about the plan of salvation and the now is the new spiritual Israel in which he had planned along. I am not not good at explaining my thoughts on this will...

Yes I believe that the church is the "spiritual Israel" and we are in the time waiting for the fullness of the gentiles but I think future conversion of secular Israel is neither affirmed in Scripture nor denied as possible.

I thought that might be somewhat that you were trying to get but now we have to study the kingdom to come it did come we are in the kingdom it is a spiritual kingdom. To me the passage is saying that God is seeking a spiritual kingdom that will be taken to heaven at the completion of the...

That is kinda what I understand it was easier to cut and pasted than to type sorry.

Coffman's Commentaries on the BibleVerse Acts 3:20 20 And that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus, whom the heavens must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been of old. Whereas in...

19) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Same as he preached in Acts 2 he preached Christ crucified and likewise preached repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the...

No why? Because this is way before the gospel of Christ but was pointing to the cross. Even here God used this in place of the cross until the cross was put into play (sorry for the poor choice of words) the cross was the final play now we are all under the cross from Acts 2 forward. same gospel...

Not really it may seem like I put it in the gospels and Acts and not the letters but that is because in my view many have missed the connections to that and try to define the baptism the letters talk about as different In my view the gospels and Acts comes first it is where the Christians in...

Let me ask you this. I believe Jesus will return from heaven to earth, to establish a kingdom on this earth, which He will rule from His throne in Jerusalem. Do you see the same? This is going off topic and will get me in trouble again but No I think that is what the Jews thought, and was...

Sorry I have been asked not to pursue this line of discussion on this thread but to take it to a new thread so I will start a conversation with you on this.

You are forgetting one thing, The spirit came upon Peter and gave him his words and thoughts. Peter did know mall about the n baptism in the name of Jesus Christ being the new fulfilled baptism that Jesus was to baptize with because the spirit is giving Peter the words from the Father to speak.

Yes I agree and do you agree it is where sin is remitted and the one that Romans 6 talks about

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger...

My thoughts and I have no ready scriptures to support but thought everyone shared (can dig up scripture if needed) is that Gods plan from start to finish meaning the new testament church his kingdom to come was to bring all mankind unto himself (both Jew and gentile) and Jesus was sent to...
