I've asked multiple times. He won't touch it.

They were certainly not taught about a kingdom for Israel, because that thought is snapped at Acts 1:8 and it never surfaces again. Their last mistake like that, it seems.
There is no kingdom gospel, the one Gospel pertains to the kingdom, is part of it, is associated with it.
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the good news (gospel)" (Mk.1:14-15).
Preterism usually means the belief the 2nd coming came in 70. I do not.
because Israel fell there is a different gospelIn Acts 15 what matters is when Peter was referring to. He says merely some time ago. It doesn't matter when you think Israel failed, because God is no longer doing things with nations as such. Everything is through christ, rom 11:30.
Luk 13:9 And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.The nation's failure to believe led to the destruction of the country, but in a logical-inevitable sense.
The distinction of circ v uncirc was real to the weak apostles. You must not be aware of the commission in the end of the synoptics and beginning of Acts: Jerusalem, Judea, the ends of the earth. The goal always was the ends of the earth.
circumcised and uncircumcisedThere never was 2 gospels. The grammar of Gal 2 does not support that because the Greek has case systems that clarify and the verb 'euangelizo' is the same one single gospel to each group. Total crock.
Act 2:5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.Peter didn't know who might be there. Look at 2:14. converts.
futureYou're wrong on Acts 15:16. it is not futurist. It is about the Gentiles coming in to the faith and fellowship right then, right before their eyes. It is amos's 'after this' not James.
:blabla:There is no kingdom gospel, the one Gospel pertains to the kingdom, is part of it, is associated with it. He never meant it was about the kingdom and the Greek case system for prepositional phrases proves that.

Luk 13:9 And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
Jer 18:9 And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it,
Jer 18:10 and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had
via Jews
circumcised and uncircumcised
Gal 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
we know there are different rules for the circumcision.
Act 2:5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
future
Rom 11:25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
:blabla:
Mat_4:23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.
So what? That doesn't change the content of it. It does not follow that the good announcement is the kingdom; things can be simultaneous, you know. Ie, when people believe the Gospel, it can make kingdom activity increase.
So when the Lord Jesus told His disciples to pray in the following manner it had nothing to do with a kingdom coming to the earth?:
"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Mt.6:10).
What do you do with the 80% of the OT that is not mentioned in the NT?
So what Peter said later had nothing to do with an earthly kingdom?:
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you" (Acts 3:19-20).
So when the Lord Jesus told His disciples to pray in the following manner it had nothing to do with a kingdom coming to the earth?:
"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Mt.6:10).
You'll save yourself a bit of the back and forth, Jer, if you'll pause to reflect a moment on his answering from within his skewed views.
Case in point - you already know his is the "spiritual Israel/spiritual, not literal kingdom" malarky endlessly parroted in his books "about" and their reader's over reliance on same, over the Scripture.
As Jesus says it is Spiritual.
Peter was quoting old testament scripture.
Kingdom or reign, yes. Davidic monarchy or theocracy, no.
This verse speaks of the kingdom which will come to earth and then the will of God will be done in earth as it is in heaven:
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth" (Jer.23:5).
If you think that God's will is now being done on the earth as it is in heaven then you are not facing reality but instead you are delusional.
Of course you must somehow get rid of what Peter said at Acts 3:19-20 because it contradicts your preconceived ideas. Please quote what he said there from the OT!
The following verse speaks of a Davidic theocracy but you must somehow get rid of it because you have no place for its fulfillment in your eschatology:
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth" (Jer.23:5).
