Per Romans 11, God's people are not FLESH Israel. God cast away national Israel but he did not cast away his people. God forbid that God would cast away Matthew, Paul, Peter etc. just because he was done with NATIONAL Israel.
Thats your interpretation.

But it is not true.

but hey, if you want to believe that, feel free.


again,

God cast away THE NATION of Isreal as his representatives on earth.

The remnant is not representing ISRAEL It is part of the CHURCH,


if you want to think otherwise, feel free that is your right.

The differnce between the way you and I see things is bias. I have no bias, I don't care if flesh Israel is God's chosen people or not.... why would I? Your bias blinds you from objectively reading anything. We will agree to disagree. :)

Do you always have to act this way? You think you are God and you KNOW what everyone else believes?

do us all a favor. Stop pretending like you want to discuss things, when anyone can see you have no desire to discuss anything but your view. And anyone who does not agree with you, You know exactly why and what it comes from.

I have no bias. My only bias is God keeps his word.. And when he says something will happen HE MEANS IT.


what you do, thats on you..

Romans 11:15
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

He was losing them because of transgressions.
*He wants the whole world to be saved.
It isn't so much that he cast them away as it is he gave them a better covenant.
The new covenant offers life to all who were dead because of trasgressing the old one.
I guess by ending the old one it would seem like he was turning his back to them but the new one offers them a much easier way.
This promise is for all the world.





(I use to wonder if Job was being considered as a sacrifice for the* transgressions of Israel).

I see it different.

God cast away the nation of Isreal. (not flesh Isreal) And because of this, The rest of the world was offered salvation, and the church grew in leaps and bounds away from Israel. and became a gentile institution.

in the OT, Israel was supposed to teach the other nations, and lead them to christ, they failed, this was a hinderance to God as it was hard to bring a nation to you when the people who represent you HATE YOU.

Leter paul explains how our casting away will lead to their salvation. and warnss us against making the same mistake (being puffed up like the jews were)

sadly, we have made the same mistake as an organisation who is supposed to represent God.

I have come to realize that KJV6111 is simply a troll in disguise. I know many of you know this as well. He keeps asking the same thing over and over. It has been explained many times over and still he keeps asking the same questions again and again.

I have found this type of deceit in the Atheist Chat rooms. They have nothing to stand on or no solid evidence to shore-up their rhetoric so they simply ask the same questions over and over until you get tired, quit or stay silent. In the end, they win,,,,their chat site is only populated by people who believe the same thing or same way.

Because it actually distracts or takes away from other people on this forum, I personally think he needs to be banned but that is up to others above my pay grade.

However, in lieu of that, I will block him and his post so I will not follow or be duped into his schemes again.

But the casting away, was to save them. If that makes sense? Lol

as a nation, not as an induvidual.

two nations are in context. Not induvidual people who belong to those nations. Does this make sense?

yes it does, it gets complicated when we try to determine who "they" are..

that is where the disconnect, or difference, between sides lie.

I understand. ☺ It seems to me, a lot of people believe the same things but have a much different way of explaining and that's where some of the confusion comes in. None of us have all the answers but I'm hoping by being part of CC, I'll find some of them. We need to remember to love one another. ❤

I think Job was a foreshadow of Christ, so I too believe Job was considered as a sacrifice for the transgressions of Israel.

Do you think the verse below is speaking of the casting away of Israel?
Matthew 21:43 KJV
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

excellent verse, and goes right along with what I was saying about romans 11.

I am taking this kingdom from you (nation of Isreal) and giving it to this other nation (the church) who will produce fruit..


which is exactly what Paul said in Rom 11: 15, about Isreal (the nation) being cut off.

I agree with that, that's what I've been saying all along. Flesh Israel - Physical Israel - National Israel was cast away but God's chosen people weren't... God's chosen people have nothing to do with physical Israel.

Yet in Romans 11. Paul called flesh them all one nation, (saved Israel and Non blinded Israel)

so why are you trying to separate them in romans 11?


and what about all the OT prophecies which predicted the very thing would happen, Yet after God gave the kingdom to gentiles. Isreal would be one day restored..

and finally, It is not talking about salvation in context. But the kingdom of God (the people who represent God)

Since he is talking to the chief priests and the elders of the people and it's following,
The Parable of the Tenants and The Parable of the Vineyard.

I'd say he's saying, The Kingdom of God will be taken from specifically Israel’s religious leaders and all who reject Him, ( Since He is the foundation of the Father’s temple or church of believers) and given to the church, which will unite both Jew and Gentile.

Please, no one attack me if I'm wrong. Lol

lol.. No attack.. we just see it two different ways..

I see it as a whole nation, and not just the religious, because of the fact he said I will give it to "ANOTHER" nation..


but I can see what your saying.

Paul separated them. Israel is cast away, but has God cast away his people, no he hasn't. Israel - cast away. God's people - not cast away. 2 groups of people:

1) National Israel - Flesh descendants - cast away.
2) God's Chosen - A subset of national Israel - not cast away.

National - Physical - Flesh Descendants - cast away - not God's chosen people.
God's chosen people SPIRITUAL ISRAEL - Paul - Peter - James - John - not cast away.

Has God cast away his Chosen People - no.
Has God cast away national Israel - yes.

National Israel is not God's chosen people. God's chosen people are a SUBSET of National Israel.... NOT National Israel. Now God's chosen people are a subset of the Gentile nations and a subset of National Israel - Jews.

What function has national Israel had in the affairs of God in the last 2000 years.... I'm not attacking lol. I consider you one of the good guys. :)
