No I did not, I carefully spelled out that the conjunction "but" showed opposing thoughts: enemies "but" elect, which indeed does indicate salvation, though not necessarily for all. But believe me, I'm not going to get into some rediculous spitting contest over election. I'll say it once more for your peace of mind: Not all Jews are saved, Old Testament or New. But many Jews in both eras are saved. Devout O.T Jews are looking for their biblical Messiah. We are also looking for our Messiah, but because we have the New Testament, we know the Messiah for us both to be Jesus.
Now that doesn't work if we're stuck in Replacement Theology. But events in the Holy Land of 1948 and 1967, that we can see with our own eyes, cannot honestly be denied. So like it or not, God is still dealing with physical Israel, the Jewish people.
ya think?
1 John 2:22
Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that
Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist--denying the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:23
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
1 John 4:2
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that
Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God
1 John 4:3
but
every spirit that does not acknowledge
Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
1 John 5:1
Everyone who believes that
Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.
2 John 1:7
I say this because
many deceivers,
who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world.
Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
John 8
We have one Father—even God.” 42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. 43Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 44You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47
Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
