Discuss Romans 11 Page 12

Would the fullness of the Gentiles, be the rapture of the
church?

1 Cor. 2:16 - " ....., but we have the mind of Christ." Christ is the Word, the Word is the scriptures - which we have; God's will for us is in His Word. So we can know the mind of God to the extent we can read His word. The Bible is all we need to know of Him - until we get to Heaven - then we will know - ALL!!!

Rom. 11:28 states - As concerning the Gospel they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they ae beloved for the father's sakes." This lets us know that we should have any hatred, or become the enemy of the "branches" who were broken off, but that we should have love and mercy towards them. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have been made partakers of the "Root". cont.

To Irene123
Matt. 28:19 - using the words of Jesus (thru Peter) of Acts2:38; Matt. 16:19. Irene did you know that none of these verses that you used were written for you to follow. Look at Acts 9:15, Romans 16:25-26, Romans 11:13, and Gal 1:8-9. After Acts 7 even the Jews could no longer claim them. Their exalted nation status was set aside until the tribulation.

The god of this age is Satan, he keeps lost sinners in the dark. ( John 12:31) He is the ruler of this world in which we live today. Read Romans 11:25 and 2nd Corinthian 3:14-16. Satan doesn't want the light of salvation to shine in the hearts of sinners.

GOD is the light of salvation. Amen!

God is the light of salvation.

Frank: Mark 7:18-23. V:22-----pride, foolishness:23: all these evil things come from within and defile the man.
John6:44,no man can come to me,except
ll Corinthians5:17 Therefore If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
Matthew3:11---He shall baptize you with--
Revelation20:15 and whosoever was not-
How wonderful it is to be in the arms of The Savior! Next morning,Wow! I'm in new world !

God knows all; because he causes it all to happen; Romans 11:33

Linda, God is righteous.What Herod did in his anger was wicked;murder of innocent children.
Everything that happens is under the umbrella of Romans 11:33, but God tells his children to come boldly before the thrown and make prayer requests, prayers that are according to his will, he will hear.Praying for restoration is done in faith because God shows compassion and mercy.Trust in his mercy.

V. 13 says "God cannot be tempted with evil." Isaiah 45:5-7 says that God creates evil. God created all things, including evil.
"Tempted" is not the same as creates. Romans 11:36 "For of him, through him, and to him are all things, to whom be glory forever, Amen." "all things" would include evil.

Romans 11:36 "For of him, and through him, and to him are all things, to whom be the glory forever. Amen."

All that the Lord does;He does all things so that all men might know him. Remove yourselves from idols! Fear the Lord! Consider that God made himself known to Adam and Eve,he walked and talked with them in the Garden of Eden.After they sinned and ate from the tree of good and evil, they were afraid. Romans 11:33 "For of him and through him and to him are all things,to whom be glory forever.Amen"

Mockingbird, How do you explain Romans 11:33 "For of Him, through Him, and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever." If ALL THINGS are of the Lord, it would have to include all the things you have listed.

Concerning "can God devise and direct a man's plan"
Romans 11:33 "For of him, through him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
Amen."
God means what he says; all things.

There is know way our mind can under stand God. By watching the sky at night my mind just wanders from star to star.

To answer you Jo's,Please read Isaiah 55:8,9 and Romans 11:33,34. You cannot fanthom the nature and work of God.And God didnt put man on earth with Satan.Satan was overthrown from heaven due to his pride onto the earth.Read Isaiah 14:12-14,Ezekial 28:15-17,Rev.12:7-9.On earth he deceived Adam and Eve and sin originated which result in death and which means the separation between God and Man.In creation,God spoke and His Word brought those spoken things into existence.So everything,seen and unseen things were brought into existence by the Word of God.This word is Jesus Christ whom Paul said everything was created by Him and for Him.Hence we humans,been His inheritance,He became one of us to redeem us from sin and bring immortality to light.He accomplisd this upon his death and resurection when he defeated Satan who had the power over death-Heb.2:14-15,Rev.1:18.Now upon His return,he will punish Satan and those who refuse to obey him by sending them to eternal destruection.He will however glorify His Saint and we will assume His nature and be like him.He wl take us to heaven and there we will be with him forever.2Th1:8,9,1Jn.3:2,3,1Th.4:16-19,1Cor.15:51-54.Pls read all versus.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

we are all part of the olive tree,with out discrimnation Jew,Gentile,all creeds.Grace keeps us whole.

Most people commenting on this verse fail to recognize the most fundamental premise of Biblical study application, and that is to "rightly divide the word of truth " per 2 Timothy 2:15. The Epistle Of James could not, for the most part, doctrinally apply to Christians in this present age of grace, because it implies salvation either by works or validated by them. It actually fits in better applied to believers in The Tribulation, see Revelation 12:17, 14 12 especially since it is addressed to Jewish believers, James 1:1. We find no where in the 13 certain Pauline Epistles, excluding Hebrews to appease those who have certain doubts, Paul The Apostle Of The Gentiles, see Romans 11:13, instructing us to anoint anyone for any reason. But I suppose if we were to grant that we could should anoint the sick, we should first observe a time of self examination, confession of personal faults these would be areas of inclined weaknesses, NOT SINS , and of course fervent effectual prayer. The only prayer that will save a lost Hell-bound sinner, is the one were he she admits their pitiful condition, and by faith receives The Lord Jesus Christ as their own personal Saviour. It has two distinct sides, repentance towards God for what you are and have done, and then faith in The Lord Jesus Christ for who He is and what He has done! See Acts 20:21. God speed.

take heed if you think you stand you may fall...

God is merciful,Just, Faithful to his children and loving

nothing to think it 's true. Everyone needs to accept it as it is!

If we confess our sins, the Lord is more than willing to forgive us our sins!! that 's why Jesus died on the cross for us sinners, For our past sins, present sins and the sins to come! That doesn 't mean that we can continue to sin, cause we 're forgiving anyway... NO................ Numbers 14:18 1John 1:9 Romans 11:27

Part 2 of 3: Gifts and the calling on God are without repentance, Romans 11: 29. This is why people who are not filled with the Holy Ghost God still perform miracles in their lives. Through their faith and because of his stripes we are healed. He did not say you had to be saved to get this benefit, Isaiah 53: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed.

Without holiness no man shall see The Lord. Also, this chapter reminds us today that God is not through with Israel, he still remembers all his promises to them and will fulfill every one of them.

Glory be to God! We exists because of him, for we are were created intentionally for an intelligent purpose. He is truly a transcendent entity!! He is the possesser of all things. He is the object of my faith. Amen

God 's ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Praise God for this powerful scripture.

some people judge. GOD is the final judge. Thou we are CHRISTIANS we are to follow peace with all men without such no man will see the Lord. we have the good news we are suppose to preach the good news. When something is grafted unless pointed out you can hardly tell where the graft is. Now I say this because they call us step children. yet the word says that JESUS GAVE US POWER TO BECOME SONS AND DAUGHTER OF GOD. I MAYBE GRAFTED YET THE WORD OF GOD IS SO POWERFUL LIKE A TWO EDGE SWORD IT PLACED ME IN THE FAMILY OF GOD AND MADE ME A CHILD OF GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND THE PRECIOUS GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST.

God 's wisdom and knowledge is His riches The Grace of God has given me the ability to share in a portion of His riches. All that He has and is , is mine to take hold of. My mere being cannot hold all that God is. But I have the earnest of His Spirit and I can know all things. I will always be getting to know my Lord even through out eternity. Praise God for Holy Spirit that dwells within me.

That 's why the things that comes from the LORD passes human understanding, can you explain HIS peace? HIS ways are higher than ours.

Reading this chapter today, I praised the Lord for saving us the Gentiles by giving partial blindness to His own people for our sake. But as it says in verse 26 all Israel shall be saved....We have to pray for Israel and her people for these very difficult times that they are going through when almost all the World has turned against them. In Gen 12 God says that He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. so let 's pray for the peace and salvation of Israel, which is so near.
