That’s agreement. That’s a conversation killer.

That’s helpful. Don’t all who belong to the Messiah receive glorified bodies at the same time as Jesus is returning to the earth and bodily resurrects them (or changes those of them who are still alive as he returns, in an instant) to the life of the age to come?

How, that is, in what way, were they not made like Jesus?

Yes. That’s one of the reasons I don’t see an un-united body - one group in heaven and one group on earth. I see the entire body physically with him when he returns to the earth. I also see God as the head of Messiah. Do you?

It is also about his purpose for mankind. Isn’t it?

In my theology, the Messiah (Jesus of Nazareth) is the ideal Israelite.

But the gospel that Jesus and the apostles preached isn’t directed to gentiles, I’ve surmised from your comments. Yes. Scripture, in my view, is all about God and us.

I had Romans 11 in mind.

Thanks. I think I’ve gained a pretty good understanding of your position now. *** Readers should think carefully about this: Jesus’ words are only for the Jews? Jesus’ words aren’t for his non-Jewish audience? Don’t listen to Jesus preach the gospel of the kingdom unless you are a Jew? Those...

Is that one gospel or two gospels?

The followers of Jesus are divided from another? One group (comprised of Gentiles) in heaven and one group (comprised of Jews) on earth? One group is the body of Christ and the other group is not the body of Christ?

If I’m understanding you correctly @Marilyn C, you’re saying that Jesus’ words, his message, his gospel of the kingdom isn’t for Gentiles. Is that correct?

Okay. Thanks. I’m grafted into Israel. I’m looking to Jesus and seeking the kingdom.

Would you say then that there is more than one gospel?

Tradition has them going to Jews and non-Jews and we find Jesus and the disciples speaking with non-Jews in scripture. What was he, and what were they, speaking to non-Jews about if not the kingdom? Aren’t the disciples promised by the Lord to reign with him in the kingdom?

So you would say then that you are not seeking the kingdom? Would you say that non-Jews shouldn’t seek the kingdom?

Do you not believe that Jesus will sit on David’s throne in Jerusalem when he returns?

Thanks for your reply. Are you saying that Jesus’ preaching is only for Jews?

“Everything in life has a design, function, and purpose. What is yours?” (Grover Peterson, quoted by J. Warner Wallace in Forensic Faith, p. 179)
