Running off, are we? I thought you guys would be all over me for Micaiah, and you didn’t disappoint, however you misread the intent. You really don't get it, do you? The point was this: When has the crowd ever gotten it right? "Group-think" has always led the church to believe in false doctrines.
Ephesians 4
Unity in the Body of Christ
1I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 7But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of
Christ’s gift. 8Therefore it says,
“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”
9(In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?a 10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherdsb and teachers,c 12to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13
until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood,d to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
2 Peter 2
False Prophets and Teachers
1But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in
destructive heresies,
even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. 3And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
Matthew 7:15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
1 Corinthians 11:19
No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval.
2 Corinthians 11:13
For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
1 Timothy 4:1
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Jude 1:4
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you.
They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord
The OP's brand of Dual Covenant heresy says unbelieving Jews today can openly deny and despise Jesus Christ Our only Sovereign and Lord, while 'waiting for, looking to' some other mosiach they think they might see in the Tanakh.
the OPs brand of Dual Covenant heresy says God has mercifully blinded Faithful "Old Testament Wineskins" from the True Identity of Jesus Christ of Nazareth of whom Moses and the prophets wrote, Christ our only Sovereign and Lord, since if they knew Him by Name they would explode and perish.
So,
while simultaneously reviling and rejecting The Very Real Person Jesus of Nazareth, The King of Israel, the Son of God, the Kinsman Redeemer of Israel, the Only Sacrifice for sins, the Only Way of salvation, the Only Mediator between man and God, the Only Name by which men may be saved - the JEWS ARE STILL SAVED.
Talmudic or secular Israelis who are bombing and practicing all manner of depravity and sin and rebellion (like all unbelievers) ARE SAVED ANYWAY. they have a licence to commit any abomination yet ARE SAVED because they hold some hope of some other christ, some other gospel.
the unbelieving jews are just unbelievers...like all unbelievers, jew or gentile. they believe falsely that the Messiah wasn't Jesus, that some other is to come. this is understood, and they need the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth. on the other hand, when we have people WHO CLAIM they know the True Christ, and CLAIM they know the Bible, and CLAIM they know the Gospel, yet devise and promote this 'other christ, this other gospel' - it is THESE Jude spoke of.
not unbelieving jews who just do and believe what what their rabbis tell them to.
yet the OP has a special provision for jews who reject Christ, something he claims God is only revealing to THIS generation - that God "found a way to saved His people (unbeliving jews)" without them needing to believe in the very Messiah God sent the Israelites of old. He blinded them and called them Old Wine Skins and made them One of Two Witnesses.
the OP has made TWO OLIVE TREES, not One....One Tree is beloved and preserved while REJECTING JESUS OF NAZARETH.
while the Other Tree is gentiles (and some jews? no way around THIS fact) - the Other Witness.
and people put up with this DAMNABLE HERESY readily enough. openly claiming it is OKAY to deny and reject Jesus of Nazareth!
why? because they have to band together to hold
their own heresies tightly in their bosoms.
i.e: Arianism.....any post in a storm.
"tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes."
what more deceitful scheme could there be than blatantly corrupt the very 70 weeks God was Glorified in and by as He sent His Only Son to die to redeem ISRAEL!!!!
To prove what I'm talking about, go back to the original post and disprove the day-years. You can't, but don't feel bad about that; nobody else has been able to in 35 years and some real heavyweights have tried. And you're wrong if you think they are just a mathematical anomaly and no big deal.
what dis-prove? "the day-years"
you apply that formula to
EVERYTHING (you deal with)...you have to!
but
Jesus of Nazareth laid in the grave for 3 days...
was that 3 YEARS ELLIS?
Those day-years, fulfilled in the Dome of the Rock, 688 A.D., in new Israel, 1948 A.D., and in Jerusalem, 1967 A.D., plus the time-times and 1/2, fulfilled in 1948 and 1967, are the death knell of the seven-year trib, a coming Antichrist and a rebuilt temple and many other myths that some hug so desperately to their bosoms. <grin>
this false gospel; false teaching; and demonic soteriology which DENIES the
VERY LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO BOUGHT SALVATION FOR ISRAEL is the death knell for those who teach it, and for those who believe it.
YOU CAN HAVE IT.
