Is the only argument here that God will come back to establish physical Israel at some point?

With a temple and sacrifices and everything?

It sounds really, really farfetched to me and I don't understand what the ultimate goal of believing this is?

Is it just to excuse Judaism and those that practice its form?

Romans 8:5-8
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Galatians 4:24-26
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

My Grand parents lived in Watertown. I think the author of the Old Rugged Cross first completed it there . Some say he sang it at my Grandparents house using their piano..

Because, my parents did not drive. My memories do not provide a clear picture. One or two family reunions.

But Christians never become Jews. Jewish is an ethnic designation. It finds itself in DNA not in theology. Just the same for Gentiles DNA.

For the cause of Christ

Rubbish Anyone can be converted to Judaism. It is nothing to do with DNA. Did all the Apostles and early Jewish Christians have their DNA changed when they believed in Jesus?. All this nonsense is rooted in the belief that there are two separate ways to salvation for Jews and Gentiles which is a fundamental part of Darbyism and nothing to do with the Gospel as Paul defines it.

GOD said, and Jacob prophesied, that Israel would become a multitude of nations (peoples).
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; Genesis 35:10-11
And [Jacob] his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: [Mannasseh] also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother [Ephraim] shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. Genesis 48:19

Israel was called Ephraim after it split from Judah because Ephraim received the rights of the firstborn and inherited the promises of GOD. When Jacob said his seed would become a multitude of nations, he meant the spiritual seed who would inherit the rights of the firstborn and the promises, who is Christ, whose seed has become many nations (peoples). The genealogy of GOD's people is, and always has been, according to faith.
If you had stopped here you would have been right on. There is a physical Israel existing today, and God knows where they are.

It's not that Israel has been replaced, but that it has become so great as to encompass all peoples of the world, just as promised and prophesied.
It does not however, encompass all peoples of the world. God said Mannasseh would become a single great nation, but Ephraim would become a multitude of nations. That isn't everyone in the world.

This is true pertaining to salvation, but God's other promise to Abraham was of physical land. There is a physical promise that has to do with land that is seperate from the salvation issue. So we get a spiritual promise and a physical promise to look for. :cool:

Well then I hate to have to tell you, you aren't going to heaven. Heaven (The Kingdom of) is coming here to earth. There is not a third coming like the pre-trib rapture proponents claim. No, when Christ comes back He will be taking over as King of Kings. :)

But it makes this argument of yours wrong.

Also, you are mixing the people of faith (Israel, Church) with biological lineage or state constitution.

In the Old Testament, the people of God were believers from Israel, now its Church (believers from Israel together with believers from other nations).
Yes and even after leaving Egypt by way of God there was a "mixed" multitude lineage isn't God's "fixation" he is no "respector of persons".

Paul makes clear in Galatians 3:16 that your seed refers to Christ.
Why is it a problem for you to recognize that within the Abrahamic Covenant the "seed" of Abraham is BOTH Christ and redeemed and restored Israel (not at the same time but in different verses)?

So why don't you carefully study that covenant before responding again. And make sure you include a review of that covenant as repeated to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

No wonder we have the 12 tribes mentioned specifically in Revelation 7. "Lineage isn't God's 'fixation"" is another nonsensical statement. Please read and study the prophecy of Ezekiel before responding.

There were two covenants. The one in Genesis 15 has nothing to do with Israel.

Right: in your conscience mind it will instantly be the Day of the Lord, and you will be with Jesus. That is all you need to know for sure. :D
