No, not true. God said He would gather the Jews back to Israel from all corners of the earth. Physical Israel. He made an unconditional covenant with Abraham, and He will fulfill it.
Now prove, by any scripture you like, that these who are claiming to be Israel, are actually Israel, and not a fake?

Jesus is clear. If you are not with him, you are with Satan.
Don't know what this has to do with my post #94. But if all you can muster is a one line response, then this conversation is not worth having anyway.

I appreciate your concern for the academic. I am concerned about the direct and immediate usefulness of your lesson.
Your lesson concluded that Jesus would restore Israel, no need for work from us. I won't disagree.
But I will add.
Satan will conquer Israel, multiple times, and that should get no work from us.

Israel was the nation born in a day. God is and will bring back Jews from all over the world. That's in His Word, I didn't write that. Are you saying Hitler murdered 6 million imposters? Fakes? The Bible says the desert will flourish again. Look at pics of Israel before 48 and today. Clearly He is keeping His promise to the Jew. Other than conspiracy theorists I've never heard anyone deny the Jewish race exists.

Who is to say that this isn't their land?
Since nobody can prove anything except Middle Easterner?
These are middle easterners, often with as jewish looking a nose and face as any Talmudist on earth. They're just Christians, who didn't ask for, or desire, a Talmudist government.
Because the arabs have their own racial homeland, it's called arabia.

Here is my take on the subject. Keep in mind others may have already used these verses. I have not yet read the comments.

Tracing your heritage is irrelevant.
1Ti_1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

As to who is a Jew:
Rom 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Rom 2:29 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.

Who is Abraham's Seed?
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Who is the elect?
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

Congratulations! You are a Jew.

I hope this helps.

While this is true, the Abrahamic Covenant included many others as "Abraham's seed" also. So (1) all believers are Abraham's "seed" and (2) the twelve tribes of Israel in redeemed and restored Israel will also be "Abraham's seed". Paul was focused on Christ as the seed of of Abraham but then he also said "if ye be in Christ".

You asked the question: "If i were to adopt you to be my child would i become part of your family? Or would you become part of mine?"

I believe Paul answered that here:

Rom 11:16 And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
Rom 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
Rom 11:18 glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19 Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
Rom 11:20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Rom 11:21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Rom 11:24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?


The root of the tree is Jesus Christ. (Rev 22:16).
The branches broken off - are some of the Jews.
The wild/natural branches grafted into the tree - are the Gentile believers.

The two key verses as to your question, are:

Rom 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
Rom 11:24 For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?


Since the Gentiles have become partakers with them, obviously, the Gentiles have been adopted into their family, their tree and their root. For He (Christ) is the first fruit and they (Jews) are the first fruits. However, both are adopted into God's family by Grace and not the works of the Law.
Im so glad you get it..many dont.😀😀

Why do you keep using the term "Replacement theology" then???
Here is why I think that....
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

According to how I read it Isreal is not the Election.

I had a good teacher, whom many hate, but he gives the verses and he is right. Thanks for your comment.

What's the issue with what I said? Straight from the Bible.

You implied God brought the Jews back to Isreal and He did not do it. They did not repent, nor did they believe on His Son, whom He sent. Man brought them back.

According to the Law, one gets land in Israel by blood-line. Are you saying anyone of those 6 million, or however many are living in Israel now, have a bloodline?
So your question is based on the premise you can't prove in the first place.
You're covering an obvious failure of logic in the claims of the people who you say Hitler was after, by getting me into an emotional condition over a war that happened before I was born.

Are they related to Jacob, and if they cannot prove this relation, they are not jews by their own arguments.
So yeah, I'm saying that unless you can find a verse that proves this current group actually is the Israel that God wants, they may well be fakes.
And since you don't seem to have any way to check otherwise, other than emotional claims to history...

And Romans 11, you just cross that out of the Bible? I'm not meaning to be rude, but how do you deal with what Romans 11 says?!

I don't have to, since the question is to those claiming they match this. I don't need to debate IF God is capable.
I want to know how I am going to know what God thinks is that group?

Right now, I have a group of people who claim Moses, but don't follow the Law. Claim Jew but can't show a Lineage to Jacob. Claim a place for Moses, but can't prove a Levite to undertake the deeds Moses requires. These Disqualify under The LAW.

Then I get into my faith, which says that only Jesus is the truth. And now, I have a group of people whose core doctrine says Jesus is boiling in Hell for being an Idolator. So I'm pretty sure THIS disqualifies them as following God.

And while it IS possible for God to move even a blinded nation anywhere he wants, How Can I Know Who Is A Jew???

No, you are the one saying that 6 million fake Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. It happened before I was born also, what has that to do with the price of tea in China? Yes, you should be emotional when innocent people are murdered, if you sit and listen to testimony of those who survived the Holocaust and you aren't moved and emotional something is wrong with you. This should be in the conspiracy theory forum.

They are not fakes, you're talking foolishness, no one denies the Jews are Jews but conspiracy theorists or those that are anti-Semitic. 6 million innocent Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, son, those are the facts!!

That question wasn't posed to you, but to another poster. God knows who His chosen people are, He hasn't lost them, so don't worry your little head about it.

No, you are the one saying
lol Ok, look. I'm not here to discuss your concerns about WW2. If that's your reasoning for everything you do, then we're on two different pages.
I'm here to seek Truth in Jesus, and to help the Church, as I can, identify itself, and the lies of Satan in it.

If you want to continue to take me back to a story that YOU find important, that isn't Biblical, perhaps you need to take it to Politics.
I'm asking about Jews.
I got people Claiming Jew who have no blood line to Jacob they can prove.
I got people Claiming Jew who do not follow the Law of Moses.
I got people Claiming Jew who for nobody available to prove a bloodline cannot follow the Law of Moses EVEN IF THEY WANT TO.
And I got people Claiming Jew, who after all this inability to be Jew, are claiming Land for the sake of their claim to Jew.

Now, as Christian, I know that God does not bless those who refuse Jesus. In fact, Refusing Jesus is ANTICHRIST SPIRIT.

You can not begin to imagine how overjoyed I am you responded with that chapter, Romans 11. Did you even read it?

Notice these verses:
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

If that does not tell you enough, try this:
Rev_3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Now who uses synagogues? Not Christians.

Try this:
1Jn_2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn_4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Jn_1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

After reading that you think the United Nations didn't put people kicked out of most countries for persecution of Christians and predatory lending practices?????

How about their "Star of David"?
Act 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
Amo 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Amo 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.

Remphan is Moloch, who is Baal (Satan)

Getting the picture yet?
