this thread makes me sad.
but I'll answer the question: "Is the New Covenant for Israel only?"
I will not play with words and name games but simply state that Jesus came to save the world from its sins. He came to set the captives free and bring sight to the blind. yet people who say they see, their sin remains for they reject the only begotten son of God.
Why discuss theology?
is it not more important to ask oneself am I walking the path God intended me to tread?
am I leaning on my own strength or am I relying upon the grace of God to lead me?
Am I wise in my own eyes and thus made a fool before God?
Or am I willing to say Lord I am a fool, teach me Your wisdom?
Do I think myself strong enough to tackle demons and stand before all forces of darkness through my own understanding and strength?
Or do I recognize my weakness and realize my need for the grace of God to stand and through His power resist?
When I speak is it with humbleness of spirit that recognizes that all words and my heart will be judged by the words and intentions of those spoken words?
Or does pride and the flesh add teeth and fangs of poison to my speech?
I think the more important question is not who is the new covenant for and who is Israel?
but Do I keep the new covenant? Am I a child of God?
if the answer your heart and the Holy Spirit testifies in an affirmative YES!, Praise God!
then ask, what work has your Father prepared for you to do in this life? Are you doing it?
have you been distracted from the task by pointless arguing?
have you allowed your pride to overcome your compassion and love by making it more important to be right then to build up and light the path we as child of the Most High should tread?
are you displaying the traits you would want your children and grandchildren to emulate?
I'll come back later, maybe then there will be less arguing and more edifying on the boards.
where has discussion of the BIBLE gone today?
