1. The "One New Man" (A Brand New Entity)
The strongest textual evidence for your point is found in Ephesians. Paul explains that God did not simply bring Gentiles into the existing structure of the Jewish kingdom, nor did He make Jews into Gentiles. He took the two and created a third, entirely new category.
Ephesians 2:15: "...having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace..."

Ad this is what he did/does with the "One Old Man"

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: Romans 11:19-20
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Matthew 21:43
 
Your humble side does not shine through much in your posts here.
I hope that after modern "Israel" collapses we will still continue to hear from you.

God has completed what He stated He would complete ...

I am sure He is never pleased with counterfeit end time scripts, nor with men who meet in back rooms who connive and manipulate world affairs, using His Holy Words to construct false narratives for their unholy schemes.

Prattle on if that assuages your conscience.
Nevertheless, the truth spoken by Paul and all of the prophets is on my side.

Nah, Jesus was clear many times and so was Paul.
Your doctrine has to invent gaps and actually deny pretty much all of Galatians and Hebrews.

"Truly I tell you, there are some standing here......

He is a model Zionist - "Always accuse others of that which you are doing yourself". "Prattle" sums up his vast collection of posts to a tee, and yet he accuses you of this? :p

Tis true, I noticed that a while back with a few other members as well.
I was reading about this, it is called DARVO.

Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.
Hmm, does that also remind you of a war tactic... hmm.

A pathetic childish rant is by no means a useful debate technique.
Anyhoo, we futurists are cleaning house around here.

So far, the futurists are batting 1000 if you care to notice. And the winning streak shall continue unabated no doubt.

And invoking God's name in the process. It's good for these that we are not in the Old Testament times they want to make believe we still are in. I can visualise such folks being struck down for blasphemy left, right and center. Or at least all developing cancers or similar, like the Philistines did when they stole the ark, until they repented acknowledging it didn't belong to them, and sent it back.

LOL. The futurists are not looking for excuses nor offering them.
Unlike the replacement theology crew.

Get a clue and find out what's in there. Mocking is not studying.

Luk 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Luke 24:27 kind of clashes with your belief that the church was never prophesied about.
You do not seem to accept that Jesus is also the rightful king of Israel, as I notice that you have replaced Israel with another entity that rejects Him.
It seems that you prefer prophesies to be un-fulfilled, as that is more useful politically.
You argue that words like "kainos", "musterion" and "until", regardless of their context can only mean one precise thing-specified by you.
I think that you are telling us that there are things that you prefer not to know.
Why do I debate you?
In the long run it will be much funnier to let you "win".

To debate me and lose continuously should indeed be fodder for contemplation, this much is true.

However, your dire dilemma remains: an abject denial of your losses and a consequent refusal to repent of bogus doctrine.

Severely throttled — Iranian seaborne crude exports have dropped dramatically since the US naval blockade began around April 13, 2026.
fdd.org

Current Status (as of late May 2026)Pre-blockade baseline (early 2026, before escalation): Iran was exporting roughly 1.5–2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude and products, mostly to China via a "shadow fleet" using ship-to-ship transfers, AIS evasion, and discounted sales.
unitedagainstnucleariran.com

Post-blockade impact: Exports plunged. April totals were already down (e.g., ~29–35 million barrels for the month, or under 1 mbpd average), but the real drop hit after April 13. From mid-April onward, effective exports fell to roughly 200,000 bpd or lower in tracked data, with further declines in May.
fdd.org

Early May data (first ~18 days): Almost no crude exports; only limited naphtha (~2 million barrels total).
fdd.org

Some sources report periods with zero confirmed successful crude tanker departures through the blockade zone for weeks.
nytimes.com

A small number of tankers (Iran-linked or sanctioned) bypassed early on (e.g., ~10.7 million barrels in one mid-April window per Vortexa), but overall volumes are down 80%+ from pre-blockade levels in key periods.
iranwire.com

The blockade (enforced by US Navy/CENTCOM in the Gulf of Oman area) targets vessels to/from Iranian ports, with interdictions, redirects, and sanctions on tankers/companies. CENTCOM has reported dozens of vessels turned away or intercepted.
fdd.org

Kharg Island
Not literally "fully blockaded" (e.g., no permanent occupation or total physical siege of the island itself), but effectively crippled for exports. Kharg handles ~90% of Iran's oil exports. It features major terminals, storage, and pipelines.
bloomberg.com

Satellite imagery (e.g., Bloomberg/Sentinel as of mid-May) showed no large ocean-going tankers loading for extended periods (e.g., 10+ days with none visible).
bloomberg.com

Storage is filling rapidly (onshore ~120 million barrels capacity including Kharg; plus floating storage). Iran faces risks of running out of space, forcing production cuts or other measures. There have been reports of suspected oil slicks near the island.
nytimes.com

Loading activity has been minimal or halted at times due to the inability of tankers to safely depart and empty ones to arrive.
iranintl.com

Iran has adapted somewhat with floating storage (tens of millions of barrels on tankers near the Strait), continued shadow fleet attempts, and ship-to-ship transfers farther out, but these are limited and high-risk under current enforcement.

That dude is an expert in DARVO - Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It definitely is funny to watch him rather than engage in endless, tireless (tiresome?) debate. I'm talking Donald Trump level funny, where he can't reverse a blockade, so he invokes his own blockade of the blockade and then declares victory, and with such confidence that some folks believe it. Lol. :D

This dude loses and loses and loses then some despite tirades of incessant wall-text, then declares he has 1000 victories and the content of one of the most informed and sensible commentators in the discussion is merely "prattle". Hat off to that dude, at least when it comes to DARVO - Mossad or their proxies have trained him well. He's probably a black belt in it or something.

Remember though, some of these people are getting paid to do this, so while we are wasting our spare time talking common sense, this is what they do for a living, ultimately on the tax payer dime.
