John 11 45-46
[SUP]45 [/SUP]Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, [SUP]46 [/SUP]but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.

what about these "many" of Jews?
"Many" can mean 100, for example. Still nothing regarding the rest of unbelieving nation.

John said: "He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him."
This is the overall description of the situation, after all was done.

The point is.. For Israel to be in the land, they have to do certain things, But the land is still there's. Eternal means eternal.
what NONSENSE!
so the land is for the lucky jews who got there....but what about all the ones who didn't?
what about the ones who have died over 2000 years NOT in the land?
what about the ones who live somewhere else? << are they the chosen ones too?

Did God give Ishmael the land of Cannan?

did God give Arabs the land of cannan?

Or did God give Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and all THEIR descendents the land of Jacob. He even re-iterated or remade this promise to both of these sons..

so...

1. Why do you ignore forever?
2. WHy do you ignore who the land was given too? Because it was not to ALL his descendents, it was through a certain seed. Proven by the fact God said he gave it to Israel so many times later..

Gal is not talking about land, Galations is talking about eternal life. The spiritual seed. In you shall all th enations be blessed.

Two seperate promises. Why do you try to combine them?
If you want to talk about Gen 17, its about his seed.

Paul said its Christ. Not "many", but "one". What do you not understand about it?

yes, he did. Daniel wouldn't be in the land to see it (go your way Daniel - wait for the resurrection), but he was given one of the most precise and amazing prophecies in scripture:

the years of captivity were coming to an end.

the call would go out to rebuild the city and the sanctuary....they went back in stages....there were troublous times during the rebuilding.

a remnant returned along with the masses.

JESUS IS BORN and lives in the land, calls for repentance.

Messiah is cut off after being betrayed, their fate is sealed.

40 years of preaching the gospel.

Titus and the romans surround Jerusalem and not one stone was left upon another.

remaining promises? forgiveness of sins won by Christ, for all who believe.
those who are not children of the promise (not Christ's) will go into the lake of fire; those who are children of the promise (Christ's) go into eternity.
Yep thats what I thought.

You want to equate land promises with eternal life.

Thats heresy Zone.


It is not a salvation issue, Never was.. God did not tell them, Obey me follow my commands, and observe my statutes and I will give you Salvation or eternal life (although some think he did. I know even you do not believe this).

He said do these things and I will let you live in the land I gave you, and you will live in peace. and your enemies will not bother you.. I will increase your land in food. give you rain in season, I will be your god and you my people. (lev 26)

I do not know why you have such an issue with lev 26. That is sad..

The question is, Has the church replaced them. (if so, why are they not in Isreal living in peace) ...
haha.
that's a very good question.
why doesn't the church care about being in Jerusalem that now is?

Galatians 4
Example of Hagar and Sarah

21Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the law? 22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 23But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. 24Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;e she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

27For it is written,

“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than those of the one who has a husband.”

28Now you,f brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now. 30But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but of the free woman.

..... ie, does Gods promise still stand, or is God done. (ie eternal does not mean eternal)
always the same twist in there, EG.
God's Promise stands:

Hebrews 4:1
Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it.

....

Acts 3:19
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out,

2 Corinthians 6:1
Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

Galatians 5:4
You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen away from grace.

I want to talk about 1 thing in Gen 17. WHo did God give the land to. And who did he say it was theres as an eternal inheritance.

Thats it Bud, God did not give Jesus this land, He gave hm the whole world. He did not give Jesus lev 26 and say, Do this and I will let you live in peace. Do not do this, And I will destroy your high places...

so please. Lets stop it ok? and lets really talk.


Paul spoke of eternal life. I am talking about and and peace or war..

If you want to equate land with eternal life. You have destroyed the context


Because yes, God promised through Abraham (his seed0 shall all the nations of the world be blessed. And this seed is christ.

But he also gave a parcel of land to abraham, which has nothign to do with salvation of one person.



If you want to equate them as one, Then all who are descended from abraham issac and jacob are eternally saved, because the one promise (land) was given ONLY to them.

so you have major issues..


Either they are all saved (romans 9 refutes this) Or the promise is seperate, not concerning salvation. And God is not done wiht them, because lev 26 still stands (Romans 11 addresses this. )

"What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise."

Everything here concerns eternal life, Concerns the promise, In you shall all the nations of the world be blessed


NOTHING HERE concerns, I give you and your descendents after you this and as an ETERNAL posession.

Please stick to the topic zone.


And stop your slander saying I do not think Jesus fulfilled that promise of eternal life to all who believe, whether jew or greek. I am sick of it.. Your lying/

and for the thrid time, Are you going to tell the room where you get off saying I think God is sending people who are dead (All Isreal) to hell..

Gal 3
Your right it does not set aside the promise.

Isreal is scattered today and her land is desolate. because of the law given 430 years later.

It does not mean the land is still not theres. If they repent today as a nation, Would god re-establish his covenant with THEM> and resgtore them to the land and again let them live in peace as long as they obey his commands and bserve his statutes?

I ahve asked you this three times now. are you going to answer?

you going to continue to ignore Gen 17? Tisk Tisk. and explain how forever does not mean forever?
forever means forever, except when it doesn't:rolleyes:
c'mon eg.

Isaiah 34:10
Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it [Edom] shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.

You must realize that Israel, Law etc are just pictures and shadows of what was to come in Christ. Land, Jerusalem, everything.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob knew that.

thanks, i know what you think of God and his promises now,
Joshua 21
Forty-Eight Cities of the Levites
…44And the LORD gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the LORD gave all their enemies into their hand. 45Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.

- the LORD gave them rest on every side,

- according to all that He had sworn to their fathers,

- and no one of all their enemies stood before them;

- the LORD gave all their enemies into their hand.

- Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed;

- all came to pass.

....

did God confirm that ALL the good promises came to pass?
is there anything He promised that didn't come to pass?
was He clear enough about that?


1. He gave them REST
2. according to His PROMISE to the fathers
3. He gave all their enemies into their hand
4. none of the promises failed
5. ALL CAME TO PASS

Deuteronomy 19:7-9
Therefore, I command you, saying, 'You shall set aside three cities for yourself.' "If the LORD your God enlarges your territory, just as He has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land which He promised to give your fathers— if you carefully observe all this commandment which I command you today, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in His ways always—then you shall add three more cities for yourself, besides these three.

Joshua 20:7-9 lists six cities of refuge - Kadesh, Shechem, Hebron, Bezer, Ramoth, and Golan.

DONE.
ALL CAME TO PASS.
6 cities

Joshua 23:14-15
Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed. "It shall come about that just as all the good words which the Lord your God spoke to you have come upon you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the threats, until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

Can any one explain to me, Why zone keeps showing where God kept his promise at a certain time, Yet the promise is no longer eternal? As God said it was?

Why Zone wants God to stop keeping his promise? It does not matter if God gave them it at a particualr time, It matters, Is God still keeping his "ETERNAL Promise" or not

ETERNAL. (I give you this land as an ETERNAL inheritance)

Since when does eternal not mean eternal Zone?

I hope you do not consider your ETERNAL life in the same way as you consider Gods eternal promise to them, If you do. You have no hope.


To me that is what you are offering people. God said he gave you this gift forever. But forever does not mean forever (in this case the gift of eternal life)

Because they have one foot in the OT and one in the NT? We are under grace and can be forgiven of our sins. The Jews,apparently, they have to work for their salvation. Grace doesn't reach to them.

You are condemning a bunch of people. and slandering them, (people like me) and you say relax?



It is one thing for you to say, This is what I think this passage says, It is another thing to tell people what they believe. When you are wrong about them.
