@5PointBaptist Good post!

When do you see this occurring?

“Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power.”
1 Corinthians 15:24 ESV

Earlier this week, our dear brother Samuel Sey @SlowToWrite was en route to appear on our podcast when he got detained by ICE. Samuel is from Canada, and has been living here as a legal resident of the United States. We are confident this clerical mistake will be fixed, but this has been a terrible experience for his family.

Please consider supporting his lovely wife Annie and their three small children as they deal with the legal and living expenses of this terrible ordeal.

If you know Samuel, you know what a good man of character he is. So many of us have been blessed by his writing and ministry. Please help! https://t.co/eoAQwwHpfK

@beready4rapture @Mish_K_ @DineshDSouza Amen! I’m a simple man too. When I see clear promises I trust it will happen just as it says.

@DrAlanKurschner @HE_is_coming_37 Do you not view Revelation 20 to 21 as chronological?

[Scripture Speaks @scripturesvoice]

@DrAlanKurschner So true 👍

Here’s another trope: Restorationists believe that all Jews will be saved on the basis of their ethnicity.

Anyone who says this is hardly worth responding to. They’re not generally in pursuit of understanding the truth.

I’ll give you my thoughts to consider, Root.

The Jewish believer in Jerusalem were zealous for Torah. Acts 21:20. Pretty shocking to hear but it’s the truth and Paul didn’t issue a correction. In fact, the Jewish Council in Acts 15 had nothing to do with whether believers in general should be circumcised or observe all of Torah’s ordinances; it was convened to determine what to do with Gentiles who apparently were receiving the Holy Spirit. Did they need to be circumcised? Did they need to essentially become Jews in order to join the covenant community? The answer was a resounding no.

They didn’t see Torah as contrary to the gospel in the way that Christians do today. They did recognize that it was Christ who saved them, not their Torah observance. At least, this is true of the Apostles and those who were true disciples. They knew that it was Christ who saved them but Paul was not conscious stricken because he likely didn’t see participating in a purification ritual as contrary to the gospel.

If all of this sounds strange, the history of it checks out.

What is a biblical theology of the care for the poor? The answer is the individual operating under the guidance of biblical revelation from a God who hates poverty and injustice. The answer is not the empowerment of a corruptible state. That is the secular God-less answer. We ought not baptize the secular answer to make it appear biblical; that is a deceit.

I believe that when our Jewish ancestors were offered the choice between Jesus and Barabbas, and we chose Barabbas, we chose the political revolutionary over the Prince of Peace.

This choice, in my opinion, unleashed a spirit of insurrection within Israel, which culminated in the failed revolts against Rome, the destruction of Jerusalem and the dispersion of our people.

God’s not done with Jacob. That’s really good news.

@rootcausesleuth @ni_commando Common sense wouldn’t generate clicks and comments 😂

[Scripture Speaks @scripturesvoice]

@wordsofthislife They assumed their position to prove their position. This only makes me more confident in a more literal reading, not less

[Scripture Speaks @scripturesvoice]

@OpStCyprian @gummibear737 Or sarcastic. Can’t tell which

[Scripture Speaks @scripturesvoice]

@OpStCyprian @gummibear737 So charitable 🙄
