Answering justme In my own Christian experience especially in the latter years I don’t seem to have the problem I once had. In recent times I have experienced many miraculous things from the Lord that has very much strengthened my faith about such things Him personally showing me that He is concerned about my every need. In recent times I had a thyroid problem and a sonogram showed a fairly large nodule on each side of the thyroid so I was sent to the hospital for a biopsy. There I lay on the table in my short tail gown waiting for the worst while I prayed. The doctor went out of the room and came back with his assistant and took another look at the CD with my sonogram pictures. He stood there a few minutes looking at me, then he turned to his assistant and said: I would like to do my own sonogram. So they wheeled in a machine and checked me again. Then he said to me: I don’s see a nodule large enough to do a biopsy on, there isn’t any needed, just go on home. He even made the front office give me back my one hundred and seventy dollars co-payment back. So the short of it is, keep on praying and let the Lord handle problems larger than yourself.

3 | How many churches will be saved? | Matthew | Movingon | 241042 | ||
Hi JasperHi Jasper, about you mention of Matt. 16:18 and building His Church. Almost without exception all translations mistranslate the word "ekklesia" to Church which is incorrect. All the word means is assembly; of any kind. However, anyone can read v. 19 where he clarified the assembly when he said he would give Peter the keys to it which he said was the kingdom of heaven (which the church is not) that He and they had been offering for the past 3 years. I hope this helps Movingon |

5 | Grace begins with Paul in Acts (? | Acts 9:1 | Movingon | 240957 | ||
The question asked: “Is there any room in your exegesis of scripture for the dispensational viewpoint? That is, the grace message does not begin until Paul in Acts 9?” Paul says the dispensation of grace was given to him and began with his ministry to the Gentiles (Acts 13:2, 46-47). “For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ” (Eph. 3:1-9). The dispensational approach to understanding the Scriptures is the only way to establish a biblical theology. Otherwise at least a third of Scriptures are denied or applied to the wrong people, dispensation, and covenants. At least 3 times Paul states that his gospel of grace was unknown before being revealed and given to him: (Rom. 2:16; 2 Tim. 2:8), and in Rom. 16:25 he identifies “his gospel,” as “a mystery kept secret since the world began.” Paul was sent by revelation (Gal. 2:2) to Jerusalem to explain his gospel to the apostles before him. This whole Dispensation of Grace commonly known as the church was a mystery, completely hidden in past ages and generations (Rom. 16:25 26; Eph. 3:5, 9; Col. 1:26). If Paul’s word is not accepted, then we have the present confusion which has split the church into some 300 denominations. In His grace Movingon |

6 | New Covenant beginning | Heb 8:13 | Movingon | 240061 | ||
This answer is to DocTrinsograce about his answer to my post about the division between the Old and New Covenant. New Covenant beginning Note: "Hi, movingon... We are not a forum created for debate, or the promulgation of unusual or aberrant teachings. Our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation, has us agree specifically to these things in the Terms of Use (TOU). I understand that you want to pedal your books -- although that is also eschewed in the TOU. Ours is necessarily an ecumenical association of Christendom. It is novel to hear from the fringe from time to time, but you might be received in a better light in some of the other forums in which you have participated. There, perhaps, the focus is more on novelty that on Scripture alone. In Him, Doc" You said: “In hermeneutics we have something called the principle of previous mention. When the same writer uses the same word in the same way he means the same thing. As stated it is one of those things that sounds a bit pedantic; but without it, rational communication would be impossible.” Answering the Doctor You say we are not a forum created for debate. According to the dictionary a forum is: (1) "…a meeting at which a subject can be discussed. (2) "…a place or opportunity for discussing a subject. “I thought that was what we were doing. The subject I asked about was the division of the Old and New Covenant and showed the plain statements by Paul in the Hebrews and Galatians epistle where the present division is incorrect and you challenged me with the remark: “In hermeneutics we have something called the principle of previous mention…” You or no one else can use theological principles or anything else to deny what is plainly written in the Scriptures. Then you accuse me of chopping up the gospels and placing part of them after Malachi and the rest before Acts. Those were your words not mine. You then accuse me of being silly for your invention that you accuse me of. Ad to that, you say perhaps I should go where: “…perhaps, the focus is more on novelty than on Scripture alone.” It seems to me that you are the one being novel. Ad to the above the accusation that I want to pedal my books. You say: “…I understand that you want to pedal your books.” Well Doc, that hurt. Even though there isn’t a word of truth in your remark I can quickly say: I would be more than happy to give anything I have written to anyone who would care to read them without any charge anytime. If that wasn’t enough you then say I am novel and on the fringe. I can imagine some of the things you accuse me of were common in the days of the Reformers because they came to undersanding the Scriptures as meaning what they literally said. Perhaps they became weary of theological principles. Doc I would very much like to discuss and share my findings in Scripture without any heated debate with you or anyone on the forum. I understand your concern with my conclusions. What I do not understand is you slandering behavior when I said nothing to deserve it. I notice your contribution in helping others to understanding many things with your vast knowledge of Scripture and for that I am thankful. And if you don’t manage to get me dismissed from the Forum, perhaps I can also help some and I am certainly not above learning from you or anyone else. The only thing I expect from you is treatment as a brother in Christ who has also studied many years and think I also have somewhat to offer. Yet you have slandered me unmercifully when I give you plain and easy to understand Scriptures by anyone to verify my conclusions which you rejected outright. If I have done anything other than be honest and try to defend myself, then I ask your forgiveness. May the Lord Judge between us. The Lord told some folks one day: “...I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned (Matt. 12:36-37). May the Lord bless you and your ministry in His Word Doc. In His grace movingon |

7 | New Covenant beginning | Heb 8:13 | Movingon | 240021 | ||
Doc asked if I have been on this website before. I don’t remember posting anything here. As to my remark that Paul’s gospel was a mystery, Doc says: “Who ignores it and it what way?” There are many ways it is ignored. We are taught that Paul’s gospel is the same as the 12 before him. Consequently, we cannot tell the difference between the Lord’s offering an earthly kingdom to Israel and our citizenship in heaven. Paul’s Gospel of Grace was a mystery, including a previously unknown Dispensation of Grace (Eph. 3:1-9) set between the Lord’s first and second coming. His gospel was to establish a special mystery program that had nothing to do with Israel or their offer of the Kingdom by the 12 apostles before him. Paul’s first ministry to the Gentiles began in Acts 13:46-47 some 14 years after Pentecost which was also the beginning of the present assembly of Christ and Dispensation of Grace. The delay of Paul’s calling and ministry was because the Jews were again rejecting the second offer of the kingdom as they had before the cross (Matt. 10:16-23; 22:4-7; Lk. 21:12-24; Acts 3:19-25). Paul’s mystery gospel he named 3 times as “my gospel” it is mentioned nowhere in the Moses, the psalms, the prophets nor the Lord’s teaching. Paul’s gospel being unknown in past ages, what we see in Matt. 10:5 23; 22:1-10 is the same is throughout Scripture. Shown here is only a few Scriptures from the many where there is no break shown for the present age: Gen. 49:10; Isa. 9:6 7; 61:2; Dan. 7:8 9, 12 14, 19 22; 9:26 27; Amos 9:9 11; Zech. 9:9 10; 13:7 9; Matt. 3:11; 10:5 23; Lk. 1:31 33; 21:24 25; Acts 2:17 21; Rev. 12:5 6. And as Paul said, his gospel, this dispensation and rapture were mysteries in past ages until revealed to him (Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:1-9; Col. 1:25-27). How much evidence do we need to establish such a simple fact? Doc says: You are assuming that the New Covenant took place at the moment of Christ's death. No, I am not assuming anything. I simply quoted Paul’s words. Any debate about where the New Covenant began is between you and Paul. You furthermore say: “I do not think that every Christian in 21 centuries got it wrong. :-) If the gospel message of Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, etc. were not absolutely integral to the New Covenant. It would be rather silly to chop up the gospels and place part of them after Malachi and the rest of them just before Acts. :-)” If they say the New Covenant began with Matt. 1:1, then yes, they certainly got it wrong. What is erroneously called the Gospel’s is according to Paul yet part of the Mosaic Covenants. As to it being silly to chop up the Gospels, I never mentioned any such thing. There are between 2 and 3 hundred religious denominations in the United States. That is the reason I am concerned about the incorrect division of the Old and New covenants. That incorrect division is the primary reason for the present confusion in the body of Christ. We have a poisonous mixture of two covenants that are diametrically opposed to each other teaching the exact opposite of the way of eternal life. The last remark here will be addressed in full in another post. I fully understand the Lord saying He was the way of life, but he also said other things that is usually ignored and will be discussed in a later post. Has anyone noticed the Lord’s words when He said: “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matt. 15:24). Or Matt. 10:5 6, where He refused to let His disciples preach to the Gentiles or even the Samaritans. Because the kingdom was promised to, and still belongs to Israel. As late as Acts 11:19 the disciples were still only preaching to Jews; Luke records: “Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.” I will make the statement here but it should be placed alone in another thread to prevent confusion. Nowhere did the Lord ever in His earthly ministry directly mention the present church (assembly of Christ) or else there is a head on collision between Himself and Paul. Before anyone reminds me of Matt. 16:18; 18:17 or the churches in Rev. 2 and 3 make sure you have thoroughly studied the evidence. The understanding of this truth has a profound effect on all that we believe. In His grace movingon |
