Nobody is denying that they have stumbled but YOU deny that they will be accepted. They have not stumbled so as to fall, they have been laid aside.


... until the fulness of the Gentiles are brought in. That's the teaching of Paul.
I never said that they will never be accepted. I said that IF in 2,000 years there hasn't been any progress, what makes you they will be saved in the future? Surely by now, we should have some proof that the people of Israel are waking up, unfortunately, nothing indicates they are calling on the Lord to save them. Muslims have a better chance than them. By the way, I would love to see thousands of Jews coming to the Lord.

Eph. 2:19 and Gal. 3:28-29 states that there is no longer any difference between Jew and Gentile, so you need to consider that the fulness of the Gentiles took place up to the moment the destruction of the temple took place. After that, the difference between Jew and Gentile ended abruptly.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (NASB95)
For He says,
“At the acceptable time, I listened to you,
And on the day of salvation, I helped you.”

Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation”—

John says He comes descending in the clouds and every eye shall see Him.

The phrase “coming with the clouds” is apocalyptic language that speaks of the judgment of God against the harlot city, Jerusalem (Lk 19:41-44).

Exceptions: Those capable of sinning...are babies capable of sinning? It states that all have sinned...what sin is an infant guilty of? All babies are born after Adam meaning they have a sin nature. They will come about sin naturally.
Show me. please post what you understand to be your Scriptural backup for this post. Again your post shows the real sad disregard dispensastinalism has for the Word of God .
What Saith The Scripture? God Inspired Paul, in the Current
Dispensation Of GRACE, to write TO us, The Body Of Christ,
This Truth:

Rom 7:9 "For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died."

GRACE And Peace...

Part II

God's Prophetic Program, and second earthly coming

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That DIFFER!” {online}:

The Great GRACE Departure, According to The Heavenly Mystery!:

(1) Immediately After GRACE Has ENDED/ZERO signs!:
CHRIST, As Head Of His Body, The Church, Will Descend From
Heaven! (Ephesians 1:19-23; Colossians 1:18; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17!)

(2) CHRIST Is Coming With A Shout, With the voice of an archangel,
And With The Trump of God! (1 Thessalonians 4:16!)

3) God (JESUS CHRIST) Will Bring With Him {those who Were With
Him In Heaven}, part Of His Own, those who are “asleep In JESUS!”
(2 Corinthians 5:8; Philippians 1:21-23; 1 Thessalonians 4:13!)

(4) CHRIST Descends With One archangel, Will resurrect those
asleep {in 3)} First, and Then, we “which are alive and remain,” {which
Is A Mystery!}, will be changed/all “incorruptible, And Caught Up”
together to meet The LORD in the air, in the “twinkling of an eye!”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; 1 Corinthians 15:52-53!)

By The Head Himself!... (Romans 2:6, 16, 14:10-12;
1 Corinthians 3:8-15, 4:5, 6:20; 2 Corinthians 5:10;
Ephesians 6:8; Colossians 3:24-25!)

(7a) ...After Judgment, the GRACE assembly Is Then Presented as
A Glorious Church, To CHRIST Himself!... (Ephesians 5:27!)

(7b) ...And, Then CHRIST Will Present His Body, holy and
unblameable and unreproveable, In His Sight, To His Father,
In Heaven
, Where we Live * Forever And Ever! Amen!
(1 Thessalonians 3:13; Colossians 1:5, 22;
1 Corinthians 6:3; 2 Corinthians 5:1-2 KJB!)

* Note, The ONE army Of The Body Of CHRIST, Must "have been
assigned our Heavenly positions" for ruling and reigning! Amen?

Conclusion: verses Never "taken Out Of God's Context" and

So and So, I believe we may have been talking past each other or I totally misunderstood you. Would you agree that the Gentile church was never commanded to keep the 7th day sabbath? Yet, there did not seem to be a major issue about Jews who were used to the 7th day sabbath continuing to meet on that day. Many things under the law could have been continued by the Jews without contradicting the shedding of blood for salvation, of which Jesus Christ was that final and totally satisfactory sacrifice. Do we have an agreement here? I insist that Gentiles were NEVER under the law of Moses, but there was God's law from the very beginning and that is what is spoken of in Romans 2:14-16. I do not accept the idea that the Ten Commandments(words) were ever given to Gentiles and yet I believe 9 of the 10 are in agreement with Christian living in the New Covenant. I do not even like the modern hyphenated word "Judeo-Christian" values. I have no agreement whatsoever with the present day 'Jew', because I cannot see an agreement outside recognition of Jesus the Christ/Messiah as the one promised, the eternal Son of God Himself. Israel to me is merely a Christ-rejecting culture group placed in Palestine by the UN. I accept Israel as an ally of the US and a friend, but I see nothing of prophecy fulfillment there, so I am definitely not a Christian Zionest or Dispensationalist.
I guess the best way to respond is that the reason I began saying I was "out side the camps" is that I noticed several years back when the internet began being popular(late 80's early 90's) that I could follow along with any one topic and every individual posti ng had a different idea of what it meant. When I was young the town I grew up in only had four Churches in it Catholic,Baptist an Assembly of God and a Church of Christ. I alternated going to them as I grew up but my mother went to the Church of Christ(just a few blocks so we could walk) and my grandparents went to the Church of Christ but in a different town. As I became an adult I decided to start in Genesis 1:1 and read from one end to the other because I had noticed by then it didn't matter which Church I went to if I ask the deacons or preacher the exact same question's they all had a different idea of what it meant.

As time went on and I got married and moved to a different town we looked at the Churches there and the only ones were Baptist,Pentecostal, Church of Christ,Catholic and several that said they were non denominational. At first because I went to the Church of Christ as a child we went there but after the first few times I thought I should look at the sign again out front because the preacher and deacons in that one believed and taught completely different from the one in the town I grew up in or the one my grand parents went to(went there if I stayed the summer). By then we decided to go to the Baptist Churches there(there were three) but it was the same thing if I ask questions I got a different answer. We then thought well lets try the Pentecostal Churches (there's three here and several that have meetings at someones house) but it's the same issue,,,ask a question and you get a different answer from everyone of them. They though were a little more honest about why there were three Churches plus those who had meetings at someones house it was because years back there were disagreements of how they saw things and split into another then into another and those who disagreed with all three began meeting at someones house until their was a disagreement and they then decided to meet at someone else's house.

It made me wonder by then if there were any group of Christians anywhere that ever agreed on anything and began researching Church history and found the Protestant Churches that split from the Catholic Churches because of disagreements and formed the multitude of different Church's because they didn't agree with each other after the protestant movement. Then digging deeper there was the disagreement over Amil or premillennialism around 2,300 ad but even then I realized Acts 15 begins in the first verse with the issue over needing to follow the Law or not and Acts 21 is about friction between how different believers saw things. If you think about it in post #56 you gave several different men's teachings and stated the ones you agreed with most. Anyway I love God and I am Christian but I usually just ask a question and hope the vast majority agrees on an answer and wait for it. Ive lost track of how many years Ive done this or how many times I've read the Bible,some books in it at least a hundred times.

Lots of misinterpretations and much misuse of the scriptures but nothing concrete. Pushing dispensationalism is heresy because it diminishes the finished work of Christ and suggests that He didn't finish redemption on the cross.

Give me one concrete scripture and I will shred it into pieces because dispensationalism is the work of man that began 200 years ago. Actually, it is heresy to believe what Darvin and C.I. Scofield taught.

Believe the word of God, not the interpretations of men.

You are playing games here. I asked first the question of why God chose Israel. If you don't know, you prove that dispensationalism is nothing but a house of cards without a foundation.

By the way, I know why God chose Israel, so when God's plan was completed, Israel as a nation was judged and dismissed forever. Well, I just gave you a clue. 😃

Well, i made a short pawn move because you are a chess player.

Next move - When did God first enact His Plan?
AND
What make syou think God is done "forever" with the earthbound nation Israel?

I think you are talking about Mid Acts Dispensationalists or MAD to give it's acronym. I am not a MADianite. When I speak about Dispensations I mean nothing more than that God has dealt differently with different people at different times.

This is exactly what the Covenant people believe also.

The REAL grievance they have is the fact we believe in the 1, 000 year reign of Christ on earth with His saints. And they grieve that we believe the Jews will be converted.
Again, you are taking something literally when it is in fact symbolic. Christians today prefer to hold on to false teachings than admit they are wrong. I call that pride which is what caused Lucifer to fall from grace.

They were church, the promise made to the church is heaven ... the promise made to the Jews is the earth.

If God reneges on His promise to the Jews that they shall possess the ends of the earth [where-so-ever their feet have trod] then might He also renege on the promise He has made to us.

God forbid that He should ever renege.
You don't believe that Paul and Peter were Jews?

How many parts of the Bible do you remove in order for your belief system to work?
