JD, that has absolutely nothing to do with John 1:12. Those who rejected him when he came to them rejected him after he left. Those who received him and his testimony were his apostles and disciples. To those who received him, them he gave power or the authority to become the sons of God. It is not talking future tense, it was in the day and time in which he lived. Many Jews received him as well as a Samaritan woman, most rejected him.(Matt. 1:21) "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Who shall he save? Who are his people? What shall he save them from? Don't tel me that every Jew rejected him. Try again! |

JD wrote: That sounds fine, DB, but that is not a proposition that is advanced by Scripture. That comes strictly from human reasoning and is a false premise. Human reasoning! I beg your pardon.For the man who wants a bible verse for everything. (John 8:34) "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." (1 Cor. 7:21-24) "Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. 23. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 24. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God." (1 Cor. 6:19-20) "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." |

JD wrote: Now, that is what he said! John was not in the kingdom because when he died it was still "at hand"! One must be born again to enter into it and the agency for that birth did not come until Christ died on the cross and was buried, and rose from the dead. Fifty days later, he was given and the kingdom had arrived! Ah! Thus the reason for Abraham's bossom (sic). It was the place for the souls of the Old Testament saints until the resurrection of Christ (ie. Lazarus). Then could the souls of the OT saints enter into the presence of God. |

Might have John Darby and the gang suffered from a wee bit of anti-Semitism? Nah. Couldn't be. It makes you wonder. That was my thought as I read his post. Perhaps his brand of dispensationalism is, but I don't believe the majority of dispensationalist hold his view. |

JD wrote: Trying to teach a blind man how to see is an impossible task. I did not say anything about John the Baptist. Jesus Christ said it. I only quoted him. Jesus Christ had been preaching the kingdom of God is "at hand". That meant it was not here yet but when it came, men must be born again to enter into it, yea to even see (as in perceive) it. What worries me JD is that you also claim that an unsaved man, one who is lost, dead in tresspasses and sin, one who is not born again can fully comprehend, understand and respnd to the spiritual things of God and then claims that unless one is born of the Spirit, he cannot even perceive it. Which is it JD. You've contradicted yourself. |

DJC49 wrote: So what of all the saved Jews? Whatever happened to their chosen and special status with the Lord? Not a thing. It does not mean a thing to the dispensationalist. To them all the Jews that God called were a physical nation and that is all. It looks to me that they deny any kind of spiritual intimate relationship with God whatsoever. They were basically saved by obedience to the law according to Scofield, not through the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. At least judging from some of their comments here, that is how they come across. If I am wrong, then let them prove me wrong. So far they haven't. |
