Did I not address the Romans 11 Scripture in my post #9? Then why would you tell a lie and try to claim that I'm avoiding the actual Scriptures in question? That would be an automatic loss in a real debate.
So you need to address those Romans 11 Scriptures in my post#9 before anything.
You didn’t
address Romans 11 — you
weaponized it. There’s a difference. You quoted it selectively to shield a system (Scofieldism) that Paul himself would
condemn. And yes, I
will point that out, because twisting Scripture to protect unbelief is exactly what Paul warned against.
Let me break it down for you — again:
“What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened.” — Romans 11:7
“They were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.” — Romans 11:20
“If they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted back in.” — Romans 11:23
Paul isn’t propping up an unbelieving nation-state.
He’s pleading for repentance through Christ. That’s the context.
And no — pointing out Paul’s warning about hardened, unbelieving Israel does
not equal “hating Jews.” That’s your escape hatch because you don’t want to deal with the actual argument:
The New Covenant defines Israel by faith in Christ.
Not ethnicity. Not geography. Not political allegiance.
“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed.” — Galatians 3:29
“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.” — Romans 9:6
That’s not my “opinion.” That’s the Apostle Paul. So either engage with
his theology, or admit you’ve built your beliefs on Scofield instead of Scripture.
