I have seen dispensationalists pull verses 1 and 2 out of Romans 11:1-5 and claim these verses prove that Old Covenant Israel was not done away with. But Romans 11: 1-5 should be read as one text on the remnant of Old Covenant Israel brought into whatever you want to call it, the Israel of...

Travis is right, that Galatians 4: 22-26 leads up to Paul's statement in Galatians 6: 16, where he talks about the Israel of God. Just as Paul teaches in Romans 9: 6 that "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel," meaning that not all who are Israel born again in Christ are of Old Covenant...

That there is an Israel of God is consistent with what Paul says in several other places. I listed some of these texts above. First, the remnant in Romans 11: 5 is the Israel of God, and the beginning of it. Paul says in Romans 9: 6, "they are not all Israel which are of Israel." You can read...

I do not know Hebrew well enough to identify the meaning of a Hebrew word in Ezekiel 38: 17 translated as "them." The Hebrew-English Interlinear I looked at for this verse is not helpful in identifying the key Hebrew word. I see that the NIV follows the King James Version in using "them." Lets...

Revelation 17: 18 is one of the verses which the Reformation protestants used to support their claim that Babylon refers only to the Roman Catholic Church. And it does include the Catholic Church, but is not limited to it. The present day Capital C Church does not really accept II...

"But Babylon as a metaphor for Old Covenant Israel seen in Jeremiah 50 and 51 repeats for New Covenant Israel in Revelation 17 and 18, and some of the verses from Jeremiah are almost the same as those in Revelation. Babylon as a metaphor for those in captivity to false doctrines may not be fully...

"1. For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, 5. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself...

"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one...

John 8: 44 Helps To Clarify Revelation 13: 11 - "He Spake As A Dragon" “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon” Revelation 13:11 In the King James Version, when the Pharisees in John Chapter 8 were arguing with Christ...

I try to avoid getting into arguments with individuals on Christian forums. The issues of the New Testament saying there is one Body of Christ, not two, and of Romans 11: 25-26 and "...so all Israel shall be saved" are important and a focus on these can help in understanding Old Covenant...

Daniel 7: 2-7 "Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.3. And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. 4. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof...

Look at the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance definition of the key Hebrew word in Hosea 10: 1, which is number 1238, baqaq, which is said to mean "to pour out,to empty, to depopulate, by analogy, to spread out as a fruitful vine, make empty, (out), fail, utterly make void." There is one part of...

When the New International Version is said to be one of the new Bible versions based upon the Westcott-Hort Greek text of 1881 someone will often argue that the NIV is not based on the Westcott-Hort. The NIV is said to be from a version of the Nestle-Aland Greek text. See: Westcott & Hort...

King James Version Was Edited by Rosicrucians and/or Masons? One origin of the teaching that the KJV was edited by Rosicrucians and/or Masons comes from David Bray and Cutting Edge Ministries. See: DEFENDING THE KJV David Bay says "We shall look at a number of Title Page symbols in this...

Look at the idea that a sentence of a Bible text has its surface structure, which is its literal verbatim words in some order, and there can also be the jist meaning of that sentence. Jist is said to mean: "the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work......the substance or essence...
