Thank you Mr Feldick. My daily prayer is, Dear God may I leave this life believing with all of my heart Your simple Gospel of Grace that I came to know through the Bible study that I appreciate even to this day after many years of needing to know about my Creator. Thank You God for "Through The Bible" and for helping me and so many other people to realize that we were lost sinners in need of a Savior and You and You alone were the Remedy. Romans 3:23, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Christ died for sins according to the Scriptures (1 Cor. 15:3) Beginning at Moses and all the prophets Jesus expounded unto two Apostles in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (Luke 24:27) Then to the 11 (Luke 24:45) I guess that’s why 1 Corinthians 15:11 says that Paul, Peter, the other disciples, James. all the apostles, and 500 others Christ appeared to; all preached the same gospel. And why Paul says he preached the same gospel he was persecuting others for preaching (Galatians 1:23) And why Peter said, “To Him give ALL THE PROPHETS witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.” Acts 10:43(emphasis mine) Side note belief is a gift (Philippians 1:29) Faith is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9) Gods Grace is sufficient. You have nothing to boast in, not even your faith and belief. All glory to God! Fun fact: According to tradition, Luke was a Gentile. The apostle Paul seems to confirm this, distinguishing Luke from those who were “of the circumcision” (Col. 4:11, 14). Unless you have different reason Paul names 6 guys and says “These are the ONLY fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be a comfort to me.” Colossians 4:11b. And then says “Luke, the beloved physician, sends you his greetings, and also Demas.” Colossians 4:14 Either Luke is not a fellow worker in the kingdom of God who comforts Paul or he is not a Jew. Philemon 24 says Luke is a fellow worker. Surely the beloved physician was a comfort to Paul. Salvation has always been by grace through faith. Works never saved anybody. Not Adam and not anybody after him. Sola Scriptura. Tota Scriptura.
@@CHRjasonISTFaith is not a gift. Romans 1 tells us that ALL men have sufficient evidence of the truth of God but that some CHOOSE to suppress the truth. Faith isn't believing in something unknown. Faith is putting your trust in what God has promised and what He has revealed to everyone. Salvation is the gift. Faith is CHOOSING to believe what you know is true, rather than suppressing it, which grants eternal life. Even John 1 tells us that all men have the light of life, but some CHOOSE to reject that Light.

I believe God's mercy withholds the punishment you deserve, and His grace freely offers the good that you don't deserve. Mercy was prominent in the Old Testament, and grace is prominent in the New Testament.
he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

@@savannahhernandez3467 1. Acts 20:24 and Ephesians 3:20 - While Acts 20:24 emphasizes Paul’s dedication to the gospel of God’s grace, it does not imply a different gospel from what Peter preached. Paul consistently preached Christ crucified and risen, the same foundation Peter preached at Pentecost. Ephesians 3 addresses the mystery of Gentile inclusion in the gospel-not a new gospel, but a fuller revelation of God’s plan for all nations. 2. Romans 2:16; 16:25; 1:1, 16-17 - Each of these passages emphasizes the power and righteousness of God revealed in the gospel, a gospel that is “for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” There is no indication of a distinct message here. Instead, Paul speaks of the gospel’s universal nature and its consistency with the Old Testament Scriptures. 3. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - Paul explicitly calls this message the gospel, which is centered on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Importantly, Paul received this gospel as the same message handed down, affirming continuity rather than distinction from Peter’s message. 4. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; 4:3-4 - These verses speak of reconciliation through Christ, a core truth of the gospel. Hyperdispensationalists may argue that Paul’s “ministry of reconciliation” differs from Peter’s message, but Peter also preached repentance and forgiveness of sins in Christ’s name (Acts 2:38), revealing the same reconciling message. 5. 2 Timothy 2:8 - Paul reminds Timothy to remember “Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel.” Far from suggesting a different gospel, this underscores the unity of God’s redemptive work in Christ, consistent with the message Peter preached in Acts. Hyperdispensationalism often tries to create divisions where there are none, but the Bible itself refutes such divisions. Both Peter and Paul were ministers of the same gospel of grace through faith in Jesus Christ, with no divergence in their message of salvation. Paul’s emphasis on certain elements of the gospel message, particularly Gentile inclusion, does not imply a different gospel but rather a fuller revelation of the same gospel that began with Christ and continued through each of His apostles.
No matter what you do or what day you reference, do it for the Lord! God told the Hebrews to keep the sabbath under the law given to Moses. God also showed the nation his grace before giving them the law. Parting the Red Sea, Manna, sweet water to drink,and they still wanted to be delt with by God according to their performance. Read Leviticus 26, it lays out the whole Bible except the dispensation of grace. Every judgement on Israel for not obeying God is in that chapter.
7/15/23. How sad that God's Grace has been walked under foot since day one. For the first 2000 years by the Gentiles. Then the Nation of Israel came along and did the same thing for the next 2000 years. But we can't look down on the Jews to harshly for their behavior because that is EXACTLY what we both Gentiles and Jews are doing today almost 6000 years later ( since Adam got the ball rolling) when we REFUSE to recognize The Apostleship of the Apostle Paul. Most of the preaching and teaching Sunday after Sunday are in the Four Gospels ( most people cannot see that every thing Christ said or did in his earthly ministry was under the Law ( Pre Resurrection). We are under Grace ( Post-Resurrection). Why can't the world see the value of that horrible death on the Cross. Isiah 52:14. If there any thing that I have learnt through Mr.Feldick's teachings is that people do not CHANGE ( other than their Salvation experience). I can still say today, how sad is that ?
I go to church on Saturday because God set it aside for us and I am more comfortable than Sunday that is the Sun god worship. God gave us the 7th day ,he said remember the sabbath day and help it holly. It’s not a have to, to be saved.
To Israel under the Law the Sabbath day was the 4th commandment (Exodus 20:8). If you can find in your study of Paul's letters where he says that a Christian ( Jew or Gentile) today should remember the Saturday Sabbath then you are on the right path😂. But, if you cannot find that in Paul's letters then you are on thin ice😢. 2 Timothy 2:15.
