Greeks were Gentiles.[Act 18:4 KJV] 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.

He does not want to know the truth. You already showed him the truth. He avoided it and kept repeating his error.
There it is. You believe in more than one gospel which explains a lot of why you have no understanding of scripture. There is only one gospel. Teaching any other gospel is forbidden.the gospel of the kingdom
The new testament is the new covenant. There will be no sacrifices in an imaginary future millennial kingdom because Jesus Christ made animal sacrifices permanently obsolete with His once for all sacrifice. Animal sacrifices were only done for the purpose of foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice (Hebrews 10:1) and would serve no purpose in the future except to be an insult to Christ's once for all sacrifice.the new testament not the new covenant.......the new covenant is future.......the sacrifices will resume in the millennial kingdom
The Greeks were Gentiles. Any time you say a reference to the Jews and the Greeks it's the same as referring to the Jews and the Gentiles. You prove over and over again that you will go to any length to deny the truth. Have you no shame?[Act 18:4 KJV] 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Yes, it is very clear at this point, and has been clear for awhile already, that he is not interested in truth but instead is interested in believing whatever he wants to believe.He does not want to know the truth. You already showed him the truth. He avoided it and kept repeating his error.
astounding .......that would mean he was loosed a thousand years ago.........[Rev 20:7 KJV] 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,......we should be in the new heavens and earthYes!
That circumvents the fact that Israel is fallenWhy not? The only criteria Paul gives for being a spiritual Jew is to have been spiritually circumcised and all believers, Jew and Gentile, have been spiritually circumcised. Please ask God for wisdom (James 1:5-7).
That would refute that Israel is fallen if we are the real IsraelYes. Now will you stop avoiding text after text that is presented to you that forbids your error and admit you are wrong?
It's not a literal thousand years. Jesus begins to reign at the beginning of the thousand years, right? He started reigning long ago after His resurrection.astounding .......that would mean he was loosed a thousand years ago.........[Rev 20:7 KJV] 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,......we should be in the new heavens and earth
What do you mean? How does this address my having said "The only criteria Paul gives for being a spiritual Jew is to have been spiritually circumcised and all believers, Jew and Gentile, have been spiritually circumcised."?That circumvents the fact that Israel is fallen
I just posted this......two churches .....one already there when Paul journeyd there and the church he establishedThere was not. Why do you always try to find a way around the truth? Are you not interested in believing in the truth?
Both are in Christ but there is a difference in dispensations.......in this dispensation God is forming the body of Christ.......before in a different dispensation God was forming the remnant of Israel....we cant be grafted into the remnant since God is not operating that wayWhy is that different? How is someone made a new creature in Christ in the body of Christ? By faith in Christ, right? How is someone grafted into Israel? By faith in Christ, right? So, what is the difference? You're not understanding that the olive tree analogy reflects salvation and being made part of the body of Christ.
[Rom 6:2 KJV] 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?It sounds like you are an Antinomianist. You are an advocate for lawlessness. There are no demands of Christ that we must keep. There are no relevant commands of God. You can just do your own thing.
Good grief, man. Are you even trying? What evidence do you have that there was a church in Ephesus besides the one that Paul wrote the letter of Ephesians to, which undeniably addressed both Jew and Gentile believers? What evidence do you have that the church in Ephesus being addressed in the book of Revelation was some other church than the one Paul wrote to? Do you have any? What you showed here is not evidence of that, so is this all you have?I just posted this......two churches .....one already there when Paul journeyd there and the church he established
When Paul went to Ephesus there were disciples there (Acts 19:1) He had not yet established the church at Ephesus. The disciples he met there were disciples of John and were baptized with John's baptism (Acts 19:2). Paul went into the synagogue to preach Christ (Acts 18:19 19:8); Paul would expound John's baptism more fully, that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God (Acts 9:20 9:22 18:26). This church of believing Jews was probably established upon being scattered into Asia (1 Peter 1:1) and was more than likely the church John sent his letter to in Revelations 2:1, not the church Paul established

What?! Paul is not talking about a different dispensation in Romans 11 than he talks about in Ephesians 2:11-22. He was talking about the early church in both cases that was comprised of both Jew and Gentile believers. Where do you com up with this nonsense?Both are in Christ but there is a difference in dispensations.......in this dispensation God is forming the body of Christ.......before in a different dispensation God was forming the remnant of Israel....we cant be grafted into the remnant since God is not operating that way
He doesn't need evidence for anything. What he thinks in his head is enough. Talk about crazy hermeneutics.Good grief, man. Are you even trying?

I'm not sure why I'm still replying to his nonsense. It's not as if I'm concerned that anyone else will be deceived by it, so what's the point? I think I'm close to being done with him.He doesn't need evidence for anything. What he thinks in his head is enough. Talk about crazy hermeneutics.
There are countless arguments above that he has sidestepped. He has to stop he has got no answers anymore.
What do you mean "before Paul"? Are they saved some other way after Paul?
You don't think that Gentiles are born of God by believing Jesus is the Christ, also?
What does this mean? They were saved by believing the same gospel that the rest of saved Gentiles have believed ever since.
What in the world are you talking about here? No one has to keep the law anymore.
Jews only had to believe in the name of Christ for eternal lifeWhat do you mean "before Paul"? Are they saved some other way after Paul?
which Gentiles? Gentiles before Paul had to believe Jesus was Christ ...........Gentiles after Paul had to believe that but not for eternal life we have to believe Paul's gospelYou don't think that Gentiles are born of God by believing Jesus is the Christ, also?
I dont recall any scripture about Gentiles being saved in Acts........they were saved by believing on the name of ChristWhat does this mean? They were saved by believing the same gospel that the rest of saved Gentiles have believed ever since.
talking about Acts 15What in the world are you talking about here? No one has to keep the law anymore.
Gentile believers are, yes. That is taught in passages like Romans 9:6-8, Ephesians 2:11-22 and Galatians 6:15-16.
If you are grafted into Israel does that not make you part of Israel?
we arent grafted into Israel Paul was talking about Gentiles who believed Peter in Acts 10If you are grafted into Israel does that not make you part of Israel?
