Shows you can't differentiate between the Abrahamic Covenant and the Law of Moses.* This has nothing to do with what I am saying.* The Abrahamic Covenant is not the Old Covenant nor the Law hate to say.The Adamic (Edenic) Covenants are in full effect yet.* The Noahic Covenant is in full effect yet. The Abrahamic is in full effect yet.* The Davidic is in full effect yet---- these are not the Old Covenant.Now, back to the Abrahamic---- Genesis 35:11 says that nations will come from Jacob.* You have not given an answer to this yet. Can you tell us why God would say that, and then not do it?Now, let me give a hint---- the Abrahamic Covenant is a promise to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to be the means of bringing the Law (the Old Covenant) and later the New Covenant to the world.* The Old and new Covenants work within that framework of the Abrahamic Covenant just like two different objects can be a subset of a greater object in mathematical thinking.I don't know how many ways I can describe an elephant before it sinks in.
That's just the FIRST area in which you miss it terribly. God's Truth doesn't sink in by intellectual explanation, but by the Revelation of His Spirit. Thank God these useless and endless "geneologies" are sealed OUT of the heart of the elect.What you are saying has nothing to do with what Jesus came to do. He was the fulfillment of the law and the prophets. The "end of the law for Righteousness., unto all them that beleive". Romans 10:4Your "mathematical thinking" doesn't ADD UP to the Revelation of God to His elect. That may be what they teach in "Bible college", but that's futile babblings compared to the Revelation given to Paul.."not of man, neither was I taught it, but by the Revelation of Jesus Christ." Galatians 1:12We're talking from two entirely different levels. You are on the side of intellectualism; God's elect are on in the dimension of Revealed Truth. The only conclusions you could possibly come up with in your politics and nationalism is useless to God's people being effective for God in His Kingdom.It's good for philosophical debatings and for puffing up the fleshly mind, but of no value to the "new creation" potential in Christ.Col 2:8-10 (KJV)]8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:2 Cor 11:2-3 (KJV)2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.No, you see, the "NEW CREATION MAN" and the Holy Nation of God's called out people...are made up of all nations; born-again sons and daughters...and are COME OUT OF CHRIST. From Him alone comes ALL that makes up God's Kingdom. The natural nations of this world have no part nor lot in it.Outside of Him there's nothing worth talking about. God's judgments and indignation are upon ALL nations...ALL UNregenerate people!Don't worry, I don't expect you to see it, or have it "sink in" unless you have a heart prepared of God to receive Truth.It is also nice and warm and fuzzy that you have all the support and security of your "friends"; all I need is God and His revealed Word. God and any ONE of His elect ARE A MAJORITY.

I am looking at things from two sides, the natural and the spiritual, and you look at it by only one side, the spiritual. That's why I used the coin analogy. So whose missing something here? The apostle Paul was the Einstein of the theological world, so he reasoned many things intellectually, and yet had faith and the Spirit. Thank God I came from the way you used to reason to the understanding I have now--- couldn't be natural. Must be supernatural of the Spirit to understand God's Word.
Thank God these useless and endless "geneologies" are sealed OUT of the heart of the elect.
Funny thing the NT starts with a massive genealogy. So we can't use passages like Titus 3:9 quoted without discretion to tap dance around that subject. Therefore, since the bible is replete with genealogies, and yet such a verse exists, it must mean there is more to the issue at hand. No wonder it was said of Paul that his writings were hard to understand, so men twisted his writings, like the other scriptures, to their destruction. I'm not always right, but nine chances out of ten when the genealogy issue is brought up by someone, I am usually debating someone under 30, barely knowing anyone past their grandparents. What I am saying is that I was once a kid that way, too, thinking I had all the answers.

OK, fine. I have no problem with the Law. But what about Genesis 35:11, or here's another one--- Genesis 48:19? The Law does not nullify the covenant given 450 years earlier with Abraham. God was still obligated to keep it to Abraham's seed whether they obeyed or not. He could withhold it for a season, but never nullify it. I'm still not convinced you are even differentiating between the two, and you want my eyes opened?

Now the truth of your personality is coming out. Bad at math are we? Well, it's not required for salvation I agree. But please do not take a shot at those who are because the bible is replete with numbers and they have a symbolic representation of spiritual truths. And BTW, I never came from a Bible college. I think they take more the side of what you are saying, so I stayed away.

Well, you seem to be shutting too much out from God's Word for the truth to sink in yourself. I know everything you are talking about spiritually, but that is just one facet. There's more. So what are you suggesting, that I dummy up some to see the truth, some simplicity in Christ? I dare not do that because by doing it I am effectively rejecting much of God's Word and sweeping it under the carpet.Bottom line, you are miffed because someone here (and several others) shook up your core foundation of your theology packed in a nice little box. There's things that even after 30 years of study in the bible I can't figure out yet, but this covenant stuff is not one of them. Now, I was just talking about the Abrahamic Covenant. Don't get me started on the Davidic Covenant where God promises a lineage in all generations to this earthly throne. And if there is a King, then there has to be a people yet.

"A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways" James 1:8You need to seek God for what He is doing in this very hour, and become established in the "present Truth". 2 Peter 1:12You can't shake up those who are founded upon eternal Revelation. "We are receiving a Kingdom which CANNOT be shaken." Hebrews 12:28These aren't things we've spent 30 years "trying to figuer out". God has REVEALED them to us...us who are His Predestinated in this very hour.I never "got you started" on anything. It is your own self-will that triggered your carnal religious interpretation of an originally SPIRITUAL topic. "Eternal Life is Promised to the Elect"You are still lost in the shadows...probing around like a blind man. Come on in to the New Testament Glory...and then look back with Holy Ghost purpose. That is of course...if God allows you into this Glory and opens your eyes.

Tim...you aught to read the articles in Christian discussion forum "He Completed it". Some pretty heavy reading, but you might learn something.

As I mentioned before, according to God's Word, there are two types of elect, just as there are two nations of His people? Don't you? Maybe not. Apparently you want me to truncate 70% of the bible to dummy down to just believing there is one type again.Well, I won't plague you any more with the Abrahamic Covenant since you do not understand it.Let's try something more New Testamentish. Based on your handle, I trust you at least know that Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday to fulfill Matthew 12:40. The Churches have that wrong and I trust since God reveals things to you and you do not seem to think study is necessary, then the true God would reveal that simple fact to you.

The Elect are immune to the "plagues" of Babylon. We've been called out that confusion of voices and mixture, and are safe and SOUND (of sound mind) in Christ Jesus. Your Bible-trivia play time is of no interest to those of us caught up in end time prophetic insight and purpose. We're pressing on to the high calling in Christ Jesus. Going on to perfection.Like I said, we're coming from two different dimensions. By the way, have you been baptzed "in the name of Jesus Christ" yet, according to Acts 2:38? Maybe your problem is a "Trinitarian" cloud of idolatry still hanging over your head. There is a proper "Door" to enter through. And a proper "foundation" to be built upon. Maybe you haven't yet started right. If the "cornerstone" of a buiding isn't right...then the further you go, the further you must back track and start over. This is what today's God-ordained prophetic ministries are here to set straight.

Just some young hot-shot kid who thinks they know it all. I think I'll teach my cats calculus---- I'll have more luck with that.

God says Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. These are the Elect the predestined who overcome and sense it isnt over yet and no one has yet had to stand aganist Antichrist. To make claims you were chosen and are of the predestined Elect and the one who knows all the truth is nothing but arrogance and pride both of which Christ preached against. Need I say more.

I'm not as hard on the kid as I sound. I'm an ol' man here having a little fun. As for my cats, I'm having a dickens of a time teaching them calculus, but I still am getting farther with them at least.
