Would you help me understand how and when to apply (or not apply) the Old Testament scriptures (and promises) to us today? [Jeremiah 29:11, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 28:1-15, Ephesians 1:3-14, 2 Corinthians 1:20, 1 Peter 2:9-10].
Is it wrong to apply Old Testament scriptures to our lives today, even though it was actually directed to the Israelites? [2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Timothy 1:15-11, 1 Corinthians 9:9, 1 Timothy 5:18, Deuteronomy 22:10, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5].
How do we know when the promises of God in scripture apply to us, or when they were only for those to whom they were addressed? [2 Chronicles 7:14, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Matthew 19:28, Psalm 34, Acts 2:38, Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5-6, Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Proverbs 22:6, Proverbs 15:1].
Are there any other promises made to the New Testament church, beyond He will "never leave or forsake" us? [2 Peter 1:4, Hebrew 8:6, 13:5, Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36, Matthew 6:33, Romans 8:28].
I am wondering if I can apply one of my favorite verses to myself, even though it was meant to the Old Testament exiles in Babylon? [Jeremiah 29:11, Deuteronomy 28, Joshua 1:5, Hebrews 13:5, Psalm 118:6, 2 Corinthians 1:20].
How do you reconcile the fact that many of the poor are because of their own immorality, so should we be supporting those who at not at fault, or should it also be an evangelistic outreach? [2 Thessalonians 3:10, Galatians 6:10, Hebrews 13:5, I Timothy 6:8].
Didn't Jesus say that He would never leave us and He will be with us until the end of time? [Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 24:3, Matthew 13:40, Matthew 13:48].
