As I said earlier,I am a wife.That means I have a house to care for and a husband to boot. I may jump in from time to time.If you want something answered directly,say so. Its too much to sit and respond to every part of each persons post.Right now Im looking at my fall decor and trying to decide when to replace it with Christmas stuff. Ug. So I do have other things to do and on my mind. Unless you want to come and take down my decorations for me and put up Christmas.I warn you though,Im a perfectionist! Just ask my husband...

How do you boot your husband? Is he a computer? :confused: lol Sorry, Kayla, I couldn't resist..I just messin' with ya.. :eek:

I understand what you are saying Jimmie, but also, you could address the verses she posted. I just feel too much of me, and not enough of God can lead to "sometimes" egos clashing. I will take a look at what you said, and give a personal opinion if I feel led ok. But I still see using scripture only as a viable way to communicate our beliefs. I also see in our human-ness, how that could become totally boring, or at least, not competitive enough for us;) So no, I would just read the bible only if that were always used on bible forums.

remember the issue here is not who is saved and who is not saved.

All people who are born again are one in christ, there is neither jew or gentile. free or slave, male or female. we are one in Christ (from adam until the last person who will ever be saved, this is true of all of us)

The issue is, Did God make specific promises and give them to the nation of Israel (which have absolutely nothing to do wiht salvation of anyone) that he di dnot make with any other people groups (gentile) and are those promises still valid today.


people want to try to make it all fit into one puzzle. and not separate the two. (ie both issues are salvic in nature and related) But we can not do that, God did not. nore should we.
Right, and I have lots of room to grow in studying the Word. I love these verses regarding that, and yes by the way, I do see the difference already with being saved, drafted in as saved gentiles, and the promises God has made to Israel, the Jewish people (saved or unsaved) because of yours or someones verses in the thread;)

2 Timothy 3:14-17New King James Version (NKJV)

[SUP]14 [/SUP]But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, [SUP]15 [/SUP]and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, [SUP]17 [/SUP]that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Yep. This is going to convince me.

Why is it you only want to rip people apart who believe in Young Earth and Pre-Millenialism. Do you think God has given you a mission or something? I never hear you talk about the gospel. or trying to win people to Christ. or anything like that. Is there a reason?


LOL you have given me so many 'likes' I wonder you can say that. Do you wear blinkers all the time?



And I am not arguing with anyone, I could care less what you believe in this issue,
so you have not argued with me below? GOOD we shall see lol Funnily I couldn't care what you believe either. I am concerned about the young Christians you could lead astray.

We all will know the truth one day, And unlike you. I am not to arrogant to try to force anyone to believe the way I do here. Or judge that they are not saved, or not of God..
that is quite frankly a LIE. you have constantly questioned whether I am saved because of what I believe about subjects you disagree on. And you are one of the most arrogant contributors I know. Shall I go back and post them? You're not worth the time.


Argue about what? That Abraham seeked a better country than ANY COUNTRY HERE ON EARTH? I am not going to argue with this.
Good. And that fulfilled all the promises made to Abraham concerning his seed.

I DO THAT, YOU BETTER DO THAT, AND EVERYONE HERE BETTER DO THAT.
Is this a new song? LOL

But that does not mean God did not give abraham a peace of land, and his family.
They were given that piece of land and they possessed it. But in the end they forfeited it.

Just like God gave me a peace of land (although small) and a country (the United States)
Good.

No, it does not, But your to arrogant and proud to see that.
LOL of course Heb 11.1-16 debunks your whole position. It was GOD's explanation of the fulfilment of His promises.

It actually makes me laugh, I am amazed people can think they are so smart, When they have not even begun to make an argument.
well keep trying. you never know you might succeed lol

I would rather have both the old and new, They go together.
Pity you don't use the New more. Are you sure you haven't just got Revelation? LOL

True :)




Well I prefer the Holy Spirit and Scripture :) As WE are His chosen people (1 Pet 2.9) it is clear He is not finished with us. But He is certainly finished with unbelieving Judaism.



I think you overexaggerate their importance. The whole world is focussed on ISIS but what does that prove? The present nation of Israel is man's invention. It commenced when Zionists took possession of an empty country in the nineteenth century. It is not related to the promises of God. God's promises are to believers, not unbelievers. And believing Israel were the foundation of the church which is God's holy nation (1 Pet 2.9)



It happened to the Palestinians.




Actually it wasn't. It was founded in the late nineteenth century by Zionists, confirmed by the 1917 Balfour Declaration. 1948 was simply when it chose to declare itself a nation.



LOL it depends where you looked :) What do you think the Zionist were doing who had settled there?



He has done. Here we are, God's olive tree (Rom 11.12-24)



So do I. That's why I believe we ARE Israel (Gal 3.28; 6.16; Eph 2.11-22; Rom 11.12-24; 1 Peter 2.9; John 15.1-6)..



I wonder if it can be anything to do with America's aid, her atomic bombs, her modern weaponry and training?



LOL read the history. It was no miracle. That is the invention of fertile minds.

.

Yes to the olive tree. So we have become part of Israel (not part of the Jews).



Sooooo? There will also be a remnant of Arabs lol



Some will and those who do will become members of the true Israel, the church.



The unbelieving Jews displaced themselves. But you must not equate the Jews with Israel. Paul quite clearly distinguishes them. Unbelieving Jews were cut off from Israel. Believing Gentiles were grafted in, thus becoming Israel.



They belong to Israel, BELIEVING Israel, and that is now the true Messiah believing church.



I have already found it in the New Testament :)



True but its also important to be right :)
These answers, taken in full, seem a bit convoluted, and I detect an anti-semitic bent as well, though it may not be deliberate, maybe sub-conscious, so I don't mean to be accusatory.

Keep listening to men.

I will listen to the word of God.

When God, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER,

Says I WILL

Make you a great nation
Make you the father of many nations
make you a blessing to all nations through your seed
Give you and your descendents this land (God called Canaan) as an eternal possession.

and asks for nothing in return, but abrahams faith (Abraham believed God and it was acrdited to him for righteousness)

I take Gods word. some some man who says otherwise.

So keep following men, thats your choice, but do noot get mad at me when God proves your men wrong.
If your standard mantra helps you to rationalize a false teaching, go for it.
As can be clearly seen the only man made theory here is yours, the premil/dispensational theory. None of you can even put forth a consensus. Yet the Gospel given once in the beginning has always been unified and has been believed and practiced the very same from the beginning. That is the authentic work of the Holy Spirit as He promised.

A promise you clearly do not believe. You much more prefer either your own version of interpretation or use some other man's premise and build on it.

You are far from God's word. You are mired in a 20th century theory still being developed and probably will always be in transition, unlike the Gospel which has not changed from the beginning.

It is a theory that has no purpose and no one has yet even tried to present one.

You are still mixed up as to what we believe. Try and read what I say carefully without your usual presuppositions.

We do not believe that anyone has 'replaced' anyone. We believe that Israel has CONTINUED. If you know anything about what the Old Testament really says you will know that 'Israel' regularly lost members when those members ceased to believe, and regularly took on Gentile proselytes when they believed in YHWH.

As you know Isaiah prophesied that a remnant would be saved. That remnant was those who believed in the Messiah in the days of Jesus and the early days of the Apostles. They were a LARGE remnant and they formed the true Israel recognised by God. As Paul says unbelieving Jews were CUT OFF.

In accordance with God's plan many Gentiles became proselytes through their ministry and as always with proselytes BECAME MEMBERS OF ISRAEL. They were grafted into the olive tree.

Thus Israel continued, founded on the true Messiah believing Jews (the true Israel) augmented by converts as had ALWAYS happened to Israel.

So the promises to Israel are RIGHTLY made to the church (congregation) of true believers in the Messiah.

There is no mixing up at all.
I rest my case. thanks for proving me right. Ya mix the two points, make them one, thus a salvation issue!

First Peter is talking of the Jews IMO He isnt finished with them not us.

2.

Focused on ISIS because of the Jews.Who hates Jews more than ISIS? Still about Israel.

3.
It is not related to the promises of God. God's promises are to believers, not unbelievers. And believing Israel were the foundation of the church which is God's holy nation.

Romans 11,Jews are blinded until the Gentiles all come in. God doesnt go back on His promises.

4.

History lesson needed,I confess.

5.
Actually it wasn't. It was founded in the late nineteenth century by Zionists, confirmed by the 1917 Balfour Declaration. 1948 was simply when it chose to declare itself a nation.

Bible talks of a woman in birthing,then born in a day. I believe it refers to Israel.

6.

Look at pictures before Israel became a country,desolate. Even Mark Twain said so in his travels.

Dont have time to repost the verses on the church being separate for Israel. Crossnote posted a great one tho.

9.I wonder if it can be anything to do with America's aid, her atomic bombs, her modern weaponry and training?

Oh certainly,I totally believe America was created by God for a reason,one is the support of Israel.

10.LOL read the history. It was no miracle. That is the invention of fertile minds.

God uses whomever He wishes to bring about His plan.Like the Pharaoh of Egypt.

11.Yes to the olive tree. So we have become part of Israel

Excellent! Now you're getting somewhere! PART not REPLACED.

12.Sooooo? There will also be a remnant of Arabs lol

Not according to the Bible. Romans says a remnant of Jews.

13.
Some will and those who do will become members of the true Israel, the church.

The Jews will trust the anti-Christ.He will turn on them and they will understand Christ was their Messiah.They will mourn and will be saved. Romans 11

14.
The unbelieving Jews displaced themselves. But you must not equate the Jews with Israel. Paul quite clearly distinguishes them. Unbelieving Jews were cut off from Israel. Believing Gentiles were grafted in, thus becoming Israel.

Yes I understand that is your theology but I disagree with that.

15.

Dont believe the church replaced the Jews.

Maybe that is why you deviate so much. I believe that all of scripture is the witness of the revelation God gave to man. It is all being guarded and preserved by the Holy Spirit. All of it, not part of it. The Church has always had the same scriptural understanding and has remained unchanged. What those outside of the Church want to make of it is their own, it has no relation to the view of the Church.


The Church has never relied on man to interpret scripture and surely not men outside of the Church. It is why today, 2000 years after all revelation was given, it is very easy to ascertain false teachings because they are not from the beginning.

It would be very strange if God set aside the believing Jews who accepted the Messiah and obeyed the teaching of Jesus, and chose the unbelieving Judaists s Israel who rejected the teaching of Jesus. In fact it would be incredible, (as Paul pointed out).
The new TRUE ISRAEL was formed (Matt 21.43; John 15.1-6) before a single Gentile proselyte was made.

Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself... Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b]5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.... Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!...And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

The arrival of the Zionists awoke former Palestinians to the fact that they could return to their land.

They have no country.Israel is a nation,Palestine is not.Not the same thing,at all.

5.
Israel really WAS born in a day when the first returnees arrived after the Exile. It was again born in a day at Pentecost.

Once again,I dont believe that theology.

6.
I see what you mean about history not being your strong point. Mark Twain had in mind Palestine before the Zionists settled. But the Zionists transformed the land where they were. The desert blossomed like a rose (or crocus).

Hey watch the sarcasm! I'll sick the dog on ya! Check out these pics...

Compare them to Israel today.

7.So we have become an essential part of Israel.

Agreed,a part,grafted in.Not a replacement!!!!

8.
Then I could have shown up his error.

Take that up with Crossnote.Its a few pages back,cant miss it.Or ask him to repost it.

9.
Then why are so many Jews staying in America?

God is gathering them home.I dont know Gods timing, but there was no homeland,now there is.He'll do what He has said.

10.
well that can be used to prove that every nation is chosen by God. It proves NOTHING.

Except God calls them His chosen people,the apple of His eye. And He has guided them down though history,Hes not going to stop now.

If you read everything I have said not ONCE have I spoken of replacing Israel. From the beginning I have insisted that it is the CONTINUING of Israel. A replacement Israel would not fulfil promises. A continuing Israel DOES.

[FONT=Helvetica Neue, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] Yes! Israel is continuing and so is the church.The church doesnt receive the promises given to Israel.

[/FONT]12.LOL EVERY nation leaves a remnant in the end.

Verse is written out above. If you dont believe it I cant make you.It says remnant...

13.That is simply fantasy based on misusing texts.

Well I guess you need to prove that statement :)

14.well you are entitled to do that as I disagree with yours lol

Ya I know,we seriously need to find something we agree on.

15.Nor do I. The earliest church WERE JEWS. So you have two large groups. Messiah believing Jews. Messiah rejecting Jews. Which of them was God's true Israel?

Sigh we're still missing each other. All the Jews have not come in yet! We still believe differently.

Nah dont think I can boot him. Hes 6'4 and Im 5'2. How tall are you BTW :p joking joking

Maybe that is why you deviate so much. I believe that all of scripture is the witness of the revelation God gave to man. It is all being guarded and preserved by the Holy Spirit. All of it, not part of it. The Church has always had the same scriptural understanding and has remained unchanged. What those outside of the Church want to make of it is their own, it has no relation to the view of the Church.


The Church has never relied on man to interpret scripture and surely not men outside of the Church. It is why today, 2000 years after all revelation was given, it is very easy to ascertain false teachings because they are not from the beginning.
So why aren't you Classical PreMil like the Early Church was before it went Amil?
