first ERROR, calling upon the name of the Lord is to recognize the level of authority and power. which means one must first BELIEVE? supportive scripture, Romans 10:11 "For the scripture saith, Whosoever
believeth on him shall not be
ashamed." Romans 10:12 "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all
that call upon him." Romans 10:13 "
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:14 "How then shall
they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
understand, call on is the Greek word,
G1941 ἐπικαλέομαι epikaleomai (e-piy-ka-le'-o-mai) v.
1. to entitle.
2. (by implication)
to invoke (
for aid,
worship, testimony, decision, etc.).
[middle voice from G1909 and G2564]
KJV: appeal (unto), call (on, upon), surname
Root(s): G1909, G2564
worship is not an entitlement, but a REQUIREMENT.... lol, lol, lol, Oh my... how ignorant can one be. the only entitlement, or the legal RIGHT a sinner has with God is to "BELIEVE" to be SAVED. and as Romans points out, "a
nd how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
this is why so many are still lost in the wilderness. yes, the church that is in the wilderness.
a covenant do not save you, especially when you have broken it.... (smile), lol, Oh dear. and your THIRD ERROR. unbelievers can worship God. as a matter of Fact God can allow the Rock cry out and worship him. are rocks unbelievers, or believers... (smile).
Fourth ERROR, the "remnant" yes a small group, and it's not just Israel. listen and learn, Acts 2:39 "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call." question time, is the Lord still calling people unto himself today? YES, so the remnant is still coming, and it's not all Jews.... (smile), ..
YIKES!
NOW as for ISRAEL, Romans 9:27 "Esaias also crieth concerning Israel,
Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
a remnant shall be saved:"
say what? LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL, and please don't try to use this, Romans 11:25 "For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans 11:26 "
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:" Romans 11:27 "For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins."
ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED? not EVERY but all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus. for, Romans 9:7 "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they
all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called." (see that ALL there in the verse... (smile), now let's see those "ALL). Romans 9:8 "
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."
SAY WHAT? all who are of the Flesh.... those who walk after the flesh are not God children,,,, (smile). those of the PROMISE is, and what did the Apostle Peter preached on Pentecost? listen, Acts 2:39 "For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off,
even as many as the Lord our God shall call." so what Children, and you? Romans 9:7 "Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they
all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called." Romans 9:8 "
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God". Cough, Cough, Cough.
fleshly Israel ......... out the back door.
Now what about that Name of God? ...... (smile).
