2Tim 2:15 ...rightly dividing the word of truth.  This is a subject I've just started to study.  Learning which sciptures were for the new church and which were pertaining to the Jew especially for the Jew at the end of the age.  Some of the scipture above was spoken to the Jew and not the new church.  I'm sure there is someone else on this forum who understands this better then I.

Amen, like the prodigal in Lk 15:17, anyone who are children of God, born of the will of God, may return to him, from his wonderings; but first must come to theirs senses, and confess sin.

My question is, is a child of God bent on wondering away in willfull sin? That is to say, calculated sin, where he thinks about it and then does it.

I would say, he should examine himself to prove himself, if he is in the faith he claims.


Belssings,

Dispensationalists teach that believers today are NOT "Spiritual Jews", as the Bible itself states in Gal. 3:28; Col. 3:9-11; and Ro. 10:12.

IrishAngel, I didn't mean that we are spiritual Jews I just meant Jews non-believers in Jesus.  Thanks for the web-site, I'll have to investigate it some time.
