(Gal 4:26) But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Is it anti-Semitic to say the Jerusalem in the Middle East means nothing, and that the Jerusalem that is above is the mother of us all?
This only proves that this is the gentile age and Jerusalem of Heaven is for the BOC, while Israel is in slavery.
It says Jerusalem, not Israel.
Please admit you are unable to exegete and address what I have asked.
What about the rest of the Israelites who were never Jews?
What happened to them?
Again, you are trying to avoid my question and the op topic.
LOL....nowhere in Romans chapter 11 will you find the words "Jew" or "Jews".
If you don't know what a Jew is, I can't help you.
(Rom 9:8) in other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.
Again,
Could you please Exegete Romans 9 in full.
That verse does not reference Israel being replaced. You are purposefully avoiding what Paul says before that and after it.
Spoiler
Here it is again:
(Rom 9:6) It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
What part of the bold/underline do you not understand?
That is not the context of that verse.
Again... could you please quote scripture properly?
Er, no.
(Rom 9:6) It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
You Darby Followers like to go on and on about Paul's epistles. Yet, at times, it's as if you guys have never read them.
Let's do this again.
Israel is all those who come to Jesus by living faith no matter what nationality and ethnicity they are.
It must have seemed as if all Jews were cut off, hardened, and blinded by God forever, and that an ethnicity of people was permanently disallowed from ever being saved again.
However, Paul assures the listener that all Israel will be saved...that is, any potential believer from the nation of Israel are not being kept out by God and not allowed to be grafted back in to true Israel and thus being saved...that any Jew who would believe in Jesus---can do so, so that all Israel, true Israel will be saved; for leaving out a race of people would leave out those who make up together true Israel.
Certainly, all Israel being saved is not about every single Jew is going to be saved.
Abrahams descendants are no more Israel than Moses is the same person as Noah.
Jacob's descendants are Israel's descendants. Jacob is Israel. Romans 9 specifies that Israel is rebellious and in present perilous times.
All of Romans 9 says this. Are you now saying God called Abraham Israel and could you please produce that verse?
Could you please show exact scripture that says Israel is not Jacobs descendants? It must say Israel is no longer Jacob's descendants.
Scripture please? It must use the word Israel and redesignate it.
Romans 9-11 designates Israel the descendants of Jacob, under Moses.
So, what now?
I'm waiting. To support your claim, you need to contextually exegete Romans 9-11.
Can you do so and prove Israel is replaced?
The New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant.
In the New Covenant, those who have faith in Christ Jesus are the Israel of God.
Yet, you Darby Followers keep looking to the flesh.
(2 Cor 5:16) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:...
Why do you keep looking to the flesh, when Paul said not to?
Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Paul connects Israel of the flesh to Israel here. This leads to 11.
Please be honest with scripture friend.
I take it you cannot exegete 9-11 on your own and know that it will refute your claims if you do?
