THIS SOUNDS REALLY GREAT BUT ARE YOU AWARE THAT PAUL WAS WRITING TO THE CHURCH AT PHILIPPA. DO YOU MEAN HOW SHOULD THE PEOPLE AT THAT CHURCH CHANGE? WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ON TRANSPOSING EVERYTHING ON US. PAUL AS YOU KNOW, WROTE THINGS THAT WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR THE CHURCH IN AMERICA. EXAMPLE WOULD BE, NO MARRIAGES. IT IS NOT THE BEST FOR SOME NOT TO BE MARRIED. SEE WHAT I MEAN HERE?
IS THERE VALUE IN IT FOR YOU AND ME, YES! IS THERE APPLICATION FOR YOU AND ME? SOMETIMES YES, MOST TIMES NO! THE REAL VALUE OF PAUL'S WRITINGS ARE TO SEE INSIDE THE MIND OF GOD AND HOW HE DEALS WITH US. WE ARE NEVER TO APPLY THE THINGS INTENDED FOR ISRAEL AND APPLY THEM TO THE CHURCH. EXAMPLES WOULD BE, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS, BEATITUDES,AND OTHERS TEACHINGS ON THE KINGDOM. I THINK 2 CHRON. 7:14, IF MY PEOPLE... WOULD BE THE BIGGEST VIOLATION OF THIS. THERE IS VALUE IN ALL SCRIPTURE IF IT IS PROPERLY APPLIED. DOES THIS CLEAR UP WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY?
Yes, I see your point. And if you've been deluged with a lot of TV Preaching over the last couple of years, I can see how you would be especially sensitive to this error. So, as Mark Twain, said, "It's not what I don't understand about the Bible that bothers me, it's what I do understand." Let's see how God wants us to respond to His revelation as found in Phillippians, yeah?
UNFORTUNATELY IT IS NOT ONLY THE TV WACKO'S, BUT MANY CHURCHES BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH IS ISREAL AND SPREAD THIS ERROR. AS YOU KNOW MARK TWAIN, OR SAMUEL CLEMMONS WAS A PAGAN. DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFE TO TRUST ANYTHING HE SAYS ABOUT GOD AND THE BIBLE? TO BAD HE NEVER UNDERSTOOD JOHN 3:16. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE GREAT COMMISSION APPLIES TO THE CHURCH TODAY? I ASKED YOU BEFORE WHERE IN PHILIPPIANS SHOULD WE START? WHERE? WHY DO YOU THINK THE KENOSIS IS NOT ROBBERY? START HERE OR IN CHAPTER ONE?

SO, SINCE EVERYONE IT WAS MEANT FOR IS DEAD, IS THERE NO VALUE IN IT FOR ME OR YOU?
