Another comparison that should be considered. Christians and jews worship the same God.
For true Jews, this is true.
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
But Pharisees (many which commonly refer to themselves as Jews) worship Satan.
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
While I agree with this over all it seems your understanding of the terminology differ from mine.
Please post scripture so that we can discuss.
Romans 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: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.
Then there are those who say they are 'Jews'...
Believing Jews do, but unbelieving Jews do not. You need to get the idea out of your head for your own sake.
Post what scripture? To show what? This?
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the sons of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Romans 9:25-28
it was meant to go that way. God had already said prior to this that the scepter will not depart from Judah. without this we would have no line of david from whom Jesus would come as the davidic king from judah.
israel is a democracy full of white people from poland/germany/russia etc. that secular state has no king.
i agree the dispensationalists are brute forcing the prophecies. in the biblical regathering there is no more war and animal kingdom is at peace
If you disbelieve every other Scripture, Romans 11 makes it clear. God loves the Jews and has a plan and purpose for them.
The scepter refers to the headship that was split off from the birthright of the firstborn and given to Judah. The firstborn normally received the father's inheritance and the family headship, but the headship was taken from Ephraim, the firstborn, and given to Judah. This was the branch off of the tribes of Israel that would eventually become Christ. So the scepter came from God's choice, not from man's anointing of an earthly king.
God loves every human and has a plan and purpose for them. Romans 11 makes clear that the believing election of Israel is loved through the promises made to their fathers, but the disbelieving part that is not the election are the enemies of God.
He loves some of them yes, just like He loves some gentiles.
but make no mistake about it, God does not love everyone:
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
this is right after the famous john 3:16 where God so loved the world
No God loves ALL of them and ALL of us. And calls all of us to repentance. The issue is that they have been blinded for a time.
Yes, that is after the judgement comes. Till then there is time to repent and God's Word says He wishes that none would perish.
I didn't say He didn't. I have had to continually God still loves the Jews because so many here believes He does not, nor does He have a plan for them. The Jews are who we are speaking about.
As are the Gentiles enemies of God, as were we before we came to Christ. Romans 11 makes clear God's continuing call toward the Jewish people, His love for them and His plan for them.
I don't think anyone here says that. We say one thing and it gets translated into something else. What "we" say is that God loves the election of Israel, those whom he foreknew. Those whom he did not foreknow are not his people.
Is His call to the Jewish people different than His call toward the Gentile people?
Not all have been blinded. Many, many, many have believed over the past 2000 years
All come through the cross. That's been said before, if you missed it. Not being sarcastic.
And yet we have those that say they are Christian yet according to scripture they are not. Mormons, J.W. ect .... so stop criticizing and boxing up all jews are the same.....we have Christians that believe that they must work at salvation add on to salvation. Have they come to the truth.
The revelation of who Jesus is and was is with held for the purposes of God but will be revealed.
My point is we as Christians have the same troubles in many respects as Israel does.
