Simple words found in the Book.
There is nada, zero, where the NT Gospel says you must believe in a future Israel restoration to be saved, in which saved = justification from sins.

Of which I quote 10x the amount you do.
Made up. You misquote and chapter blast.
Who taught you how to do that?

Back to the OP:
Prager said: "I would apply this (behavior vs identity) to Judaism, but it does not apply." The problem: he welcomes a homosexual for his orientation/identity THE SAME WAY he treats his Judaism as an identity!!! Apart from behavior!
I don't know or care what happens to an "identity" when behavior is the question!!! As far as I'm concerned, identity/orientation is an entirely fraudulent modern conception. TOL readers will probably agree on that about homosexuality, but the D'ists will operate the same way Prager is about Judaism for Judaism's fraudulent reason: that it is an identity.
Now look at the NT telling us that the believer has a new self or identity in Christ which 'kills' or 'puts to death' the behavior of the flesh. See where this is going? We DO have an new identity apart from race, gender, class, and it causes right behavior, which is still the question that matters. We can never just say we have an identity without actions.
So, how many ways can Judaism be wrong, and D'ism still follow along with it?
You cannot and never have and prob never will provide a summary of what Gal 3-4 is saying. Because it detonates 2 programs.

That's what you mean, but you don't know how to talk, and you shouldn't be here until you do.
So, how many ways can Judaism be wrong, and D'ism still follow along with it?
No, you can't, because your reasons will expose that you are following a fraud.
Hardly. One cannot read the entirety of Galatians, with the book of Acts in his other hand, and fail to see the two programs.
What you are doing is intellectually dishonest.
But I explain myself, and you don't because your dishonesty shows up.
anyway, the question of the OP is not answered:
Will we accept a system that is based on identity for some (Jews, homosexuals) and behavior for the rest? God forbid, and Rom 11:11-24 say so.
The difference between us STP is that in your Biblical education you seemed to have missed the teacher who showed that yes, it is possible to compact each NT letter down in to one statement--after each paragraph and section has been done. That was a guy who constantly taught the big picture and oddly enough was at Multnomah U. Wilkerson, I think. He did outside seminars on the same thing in which he got people to be able to orally summarize the entire Bible in about 3 lines. It is a very important skill.
and our pal chafer or /Darby would never have said the Bible doesn't make sense if he'd had that opportunity. He'd see the Bible is self-organizing in a few passages.
you all were given 3 days to catch Pragers exchanges with the homosexual editor at Town Hall, then DP's solo hour on the same question about the race of Israel.
As a rabbi and conservative and identity-based thinker about Israel , he exempted Israel from questions about its behavior. "I would apply the ruLe of behavior to Judaism, but it doesnt apply" he said after saying the same thing of the homosexual conservative. The identity wins. "A Jew who is an atheist is still a Jew, but a Christian who is an atheist has forsaken their distinction."
If you can't hear the old covenant mindset in that you have no idea what your NT is saying, which is why your use of Hebrews (!!!) is an incessant disaster:
You are hooked on one verse, 8:8.
You are totally disobedient to the unifiying and oneness of 12:22-24, ruining it just yesterday.
you are totally defiant of the ch 11 declaration that the believers spoken of in ch 11 never found the land promised because it was heaven. NEVER ON THIS EARTH!!! The end of the chapter clearly says they recieved what was promised along with us, which is Christ. Just like Acts 13.
I will never take your word on the OT. I will only take the NT saying what the OT means. Like that.
