They were not under Christ in the OT. They were under the Law.

Christ is the door, and that door was opened after his death and resurrection.
Yes they were under the law but were justified because they believed God and God is Christ which is the door the very same God they believed in made them righteous.

Yes, they prophesied about Jesus, but were not under him. They never knew him. All those who were under the Law will be judged by the Law. Grace was later to be given to the gentiles.
They knew Him because He is I AM THAT I AM.

Yes, Moses had faith. So did Abraham and all the prophets. But they were still under the Law (except Abraham of course)
I think if any of the patriarchs are to be judged and sentenced by God's Torah then they'd be damned. But somewhere in the New Testament I believe Jesus says that Moses and Abraham will be at the feast in the kingdom. Moses can't be at the feast in the kingdom if he's roasty toasty elsewhere. So I think under the 'law' or under the 'Law' are different things than being judged according to your transgression of the 'Law'.

Christ is the door, and that door was opened after his death and resurrection.
dispensationalism is horrible.

Romans 11:2-5
"God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace."


Acts 3:16-21
"But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."


Matthew 17:11-12
"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them."


Amos 9:13-15
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God."


Luke 4:18
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"


Isaiah 61:1-4
"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations."


John 6:44-45
"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me."

Hebrews 11


23 By faith Moses, after he was born, was hidden by his parents for three months, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they didn't fear the king's edict.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter

25 and chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the short-lived pleasure of sin
26 For he considered reproach for the sake of the Messiah to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since his attention was on the reward.

Those people and the prophets are some of the ones chosen by God, by election. The rest of the Israelites that listened and followed those prophets are also chosen by election.

All this because we wont lay down and worship the nation state that calls itself Israel

All this because some people here believe the globe should be a massive theocracy run by dictatorship through the nation state of Israel

Sorry., but I dont worship Jews.., never will and its sad that some people here hold Jews on some kind of elevated platform

then are they CHRISTIANS NOW?

or is there a majikal 1,000 years where some Law/Gospel/Law dispy nightmare perpetuates the TWO PEOPLES heresy?


Acts 11:26
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

The simple answer here is everyone in the OT who believed in God were made righteous through Christ because God IS Christ.

....because it is written Christ has been slain before the foundation the world Revelation 13:8 (KJV)


It's like this,

no one can come to the Father (God) but by me (God) John 14:6 (KJV)
[/QUOTE]But you were all saying that Israel misses out? Salvation to the gentiles only? So theres a backflip happening here and I'm confused?

Those people back then were not made righteous through Christ. They were made righteous through their works, and some had faith to go with it, but they did not have Christ in the flesh with them...He was a future prophesy for them. They were under the law, and all who are under the law will be judged by the law.

God hadn't even sent his son yet. So you are saying that they snuck in before his death and resurrection?

Gentiles simply means nations..., it seriously irks me when people use terminology like Gentile Nations

Think about it for a second.., translate the words., the Nation Nations ., makes no sense to me

Are you telling me Israel is not a Gentile? The word simply means Nations., stop misusing it as a derogatory term

Noone is doing any backflips except you

All of Israel will be saved.., EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US!!

And if you start reading scripture correctly this will start making sense

Yes thats right. Moses and Abraham will be in the kingdom. Bear with me a little while!

This is part of predestination Romans 8:29-30 (KJV)

Who said anything about worshipping Israel or the Jews? We are to worship only the Father through Christ our Lord.

I think you have misunderstood my previous posts.

They were made righteous through their works, and some had faith to go with it, but they did not have Christ in the flesh with them...He was a future prophesy for them. They were under the law, and all who are under the law will be judged by the law.
Romans 1:17
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

Romans 9:13
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.

Romans 10:3
Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness.

Romans 10:2
For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.

Romans 11:7
What then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,

2 Corinthians 3:14
But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.

Romans 3:21
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

Acts 10:43
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

Romans 1:2
the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures
