Spiritual Israel is represented by Jacob/Israel. God changed Jacob's name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel. (Gen 33:28). (Isa 41:8) (Isa 43:1) (Isa 44::1) (Isa 44:21) (Isa 45:4) (Isa 46:3-4) (Isa 48:1)...

The nation of Israel does not represent spiritual Israel. Jacob/Israel represents spiritual Israel. God changed Jacob's name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel (Gen 33:29) Jacob/Israel is made up of people from every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation (Rev 5:9-10)...

God is never surprised about anything because he knows what the future holds. He knows the end from the beginning. God changed Jacob's name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel (Gen 33:28). Most of the scriptures that refer to Israel are actually have reference to...

They, more than likely, are his brethren also.

Notice that Jesus's blood was shed for many, indicating that it was not shed for all mankind, but only for those that his Father gave him (John 6:37-40). Your comments further mention God's sheep. I invite you to consider (John 10:26-30)

The lost sheep of the house of Israel/Jacob, (whom God changed his name to be called Israel) are those of God's elect to whom God blinded their eyes to see the truth of Christ's doctrine because they turned away from God and began to worship idols.

God changed Jacob's name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel. Most of the scriptures in the new testament, when referring to Israel, is not referencing the nation of Israel, but is speaking of Israel/Jacob, witch represents all of God's elect people who are scattered from every...

Those who are saved eternally are saved (delivered) by the faith (faithfulness) of Jesus Christ (Gal 2:16- KJV), Faith is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22=23) You must be born again of the Holy Spirit before you can have spiritual faith.

Heb 10:10 = Christ died for all of those that his Father gave to him (John 6:37=40). The "all" in Heb 10:10 are all that the Father gave him, witch was not all of mankind.. Jesus also stated that all that he died for, he would not lose any of them, but reais all of them up at the last day.

That is true, and they are but natural mankind that cannot know spiritual things (1 Cor 2:14). There are also those that think the scriptures teach the natural man can have faith without first being born again. They cannot. Faith is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22=23). A person has...

With respect, Jesus does not teach that a person is already born again just because they study Scripture or worship God. He said clearly, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). That shows the new birth is not assumed. It is...

You quoted Rom2:8=9 as one of your references, I was wondering if you were thinking that the word "faith" in that scripture was referring to mankind's faith.

Most of the time, when the scriptures mention Israel they are referencing Jacob, in whom God changed his name to be no more called Jacob, but to be called Israel. Jacob, as Israel, represents all of God's elect. The 144,000 refers to the remnant of spiritual Israel who have been revealed the...

Just wondering. Whose faith do you think this indicates in harmony with the other scriptures?

God only calls his elect. His elect are his sheep and are the only ones that can hear his voice ( John 10:26=30 )

All of the scriptures must harmonize in order to portray the truths contained in the doctrine of Jesus Christ. If all mankind has a choice in accepting the truths in the scriptures, then how do you interpret 1 Cor 2:14?. God says that his ways are higher than our ways. (Isa 55:9) That is why...

With all due respect, because I believe the scriptures teach that if a person studies the scriptures and worships God that they have already been born (quickened) by the Holy Spirit, unlike 1 Cor 2:14 describes the natural man who cannot receive the things of the Spirit, neither can he know...

Christ died as a sacrifice to God for everyone that his Father gave him. Christ's sacrifice was offered to God, for God's acceptance, and not to mankind for mankind's acceptance. (John 6:37-40). After Christ's blood on the cross washed their sins away, God looked upon their sins as being as...
