GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ISRAEL, and Gentile Believers ARE NOT ISRAEL. The concept that we become spiritual Israelites because we have the faith of Abraham purely is FALSE DOCTRINE FROM A FALSE PROPHET. ABRAHAM was NOT an Israelite, he was from UR of the CHALDEES. If you want to think you become a spiritual Chaldean because you have the Faith of Abraham, go ahead, but I will believe GOD:
Genesis 17:5 (CSBBible)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] Your name will no longer be Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.
Romans 12:3 (NIV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP] For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
Love the scriptures but your interpretation above is not from the bible.
Let's see who God's Word describes as being Israel................
Well that interpretation is not according to God’s Word and there is no scripture to support your view. Let’s talk scripture……..
[FONT="]Who are Israel according to God’s Word?[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Israel" [/FONT][FONT="]is only a name given by God himself to represent his people. It has its origin from Gen 32:28 where Jacob wrestled with the Angel and prevailed ...for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Its meaning is his posterity will rule as God. Jacob had 12 sons representing the 12 tribes of Israel. This is God's people and today anyone who is following Jesus is part of God's spiritual Israel according to God's Word. The same New Covenant is written for God's people who are now spiritual Israel following. Scripture support;[/FONT]

[FONT="]Let’s talk more scripture…………[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Let God be true and every man a liar that thou might be justified in thy sayings, and might overcome when thou art judged.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He says not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Now who is Abraham’s seed? [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus and if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Galatians 3:28-29, [/FONT]
[FONT="]There is neither Jew nor Greek[/FONT][FONT="], there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Colossians 3:11,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,[/FONT][FONT="] circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Romans 10:11-13,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]For the scripture says, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Romans 2:28-29, [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly;[/FONT][FONT="] neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Jeremiah 31:33-4,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel; after those days, says the LORD,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Heb 8:10-12,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]For this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel after those days, says the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Heb 10:14-17,[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
this is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]Gal 3:29, [/FONT]
[FONT="]And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]The New Covenant is for Spiritual Israel
which represent God’s followers the believers. If you are not a part of spiritual Israel you are not part of the
New Covenant (Heb 8:10-12). I believe God’s Word VCO, how about you?
Who should we obey God or man? Sunday worship is a teaching and tradition of man over the Word of God breaking God's commandments. God's Word tells us that if we break God's commandments by following man made traditions we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
