It was directly opposed to your "Acts 7" reference.So what is your point?
a big DUH

OK, where is it in Luke?You seem to be forgetting the rest of the parable, where the there was an extra year given to till the soil.

But you're wrong. So your point is rejected.It was directly opposed to your "Acts 7" reference.
No.No, Israel was a nation separated from the nations.
They already got the land and a king a loooooooong time ago.God promised Israel a kingdom in a land with a King. That is most definitely on hold at the present time (since about Acts 7).
Not only that, but they didn't even have their own kingdom at the time anyway.You don't think that it was "on hold" when they you know executed their own King? That was before Acts 7.
Israel was separated from other people.No.
Israel was not a nation when mankind was dispersed at tower of Babel.
Israel was a nation created from the nations.
So what? God says that they will have the land and the King forever.They already got the land and a king a loooooooong time ago.
So what? They will be gathered and rejoined.Then they were split and dispersed.
Who said otherwise?They have not had a legit king since the return of some of them from the Babylonia captivity, and won't have until the promised Messiah returns as King.
Their ultimate day of atonement still awaits. Do you think that this is a problem that God cannot solve?Not only that but none of them could possibly keep the whole law since they no longer have the ark for the Day of Atonement.
So what?And as we all know, if you don't keep the whole law then you are guilty of the whole law.
Too bad you were not there to let the Lord know that.Not only that, but they didn't even have their own kingdom at the time anyway.
They were under Roman rule.
True he did not say "search the scriptures for only certain things about Christ", and that is not what I said either.NO!!!!
Paul did NOT say search the scriptures for only certain things about Christ.
You know that.
God clearly says in scripture that He will always have a remnant.
The remnant is not on hold.
The remnant never stopped or was put on hold.
Sure, insisting gentiles keep the law.Jews were witnessing to Gentiles both before and after Paul's conversion.
Meaning with very few exceptions. Look at the Jews today, if you're in doubt.Blindness in part.
The rest of the parable of the fig tree is in Acts 1-8?Where is what? The extra year? In Acts 1-8.
It was the Romans who crowned Him.Not only that, but they didn't even have their own kingdom at the time anyway.
They were under Roman rule.
The rest of the parable of the fig tree is in Acts 1-8?
I would say that Acts 1-6 is part of the "digging and fertilizing" phase.He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’ ” - Luke 13:6-9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke13:6-9&version=NKJV
Three years Christ came to minister.
One year later, He cut off unbelieving Israel, and turned to working with the Gentiles.
Acts 1-8 is the latter.
I would say that Acts 1-6 is part of the "digging and fertilizing" phase.
I would say that the "cutting down" phase was Acts 7-9.
Too bad you don't listen to what the Lord says.Too bad you were not there to let the Lord know that.
Matt 21:42-45 (AKJV/PCE)
(21:42) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? (21:43) Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (21:44) And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (21:45) And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Odd, since God's appointed time has stretched into 2000 years already.Too bad you don't listen to what the Lord says.
The Lord was there and He knew it was not the appointed time for the united earthly kingdom promised.
The Lord Jesus Christ plainly said at that time that His kingdom was not of this world.
Nothing man did could possibly have thwarted God's own appointed time for the earthly kingdom to be restored.
I DID listen to what the Lord says, here it is again: Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.Too bad you don't listen to what the Lord says.
Who said otherwise? You are battling straw-men.The Lord was there and He knew it was not the appointed time for the united earthly kingdom promised.

I didn't say otherwise. You are battling a strawman.The Lord is not illogical. He cannot take "the kingdom of God" AWAY from someone that does not have it.
