Romans 11:25 blindness in part has happened to Israel You're saying those who believe in Christ are blind, but the scripture says exactly the opposite: John 12:39-40 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they...

Romans 11:25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Blindness in part has happened to WHO?

The Wife is unclean and divorced. The Bride is washed and betrothed. The wife is made jealous by the Betrothed Romans 11:17-18 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of...

bottom line being, this statement: is absolute nonsense & complete rubbish foolishness! Israel is Israel. if Jacob is not your father, you are not Israel, you are the grafted-in wild olive branch. you are not the natural branch just by virtue of being grafted in. Abraham is not an Israelite...

which leaves Israel still being Israel

That doesn't make them cease to exist.

That's ridiculous. If God has utterly forsaken His people whom He swore He would never utterly forsake, how then can you trust Him to save yourself? Your position is that He is not faithful, hat God cannot be trusted in His promises. Deuteronomy 32:21 They have provoked Me to jealousy by...

What nation ever rose or fell apart from His own will?

There are two regatherings of Israel, one in judgement and one in restoration. Israel is Israel. Don't fall for anti-semetic replacement junk theology.

No one learns without understanding and accepting their own ignorance & inadequacy

No, Paul said: ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ Of faith I live, that the Son of the God There is no 'in' and no 'of' in this part of Galatians 2:20, at all. It's Greek, not English. You're eisegeting.

No, he wasn't. James isn't one of the apostles. He is possibly/probably Jesus earthly brother - which in that case means he actively rejected Christ until after the resurrection. We have to know our Bibles before we can teach our Bibles.

Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Would you curse your sister in front of strangers while you know for a fact it was a different girl who did...

causing unbelievers to pretend they are righteous is not His work in us. at the end there will be very few with faith, and very many who despise & reject God, and they will not hide it, but we perhaps will. the unabashed sinfulness of the world is not 'the church's fault for being weak' that's...

What does it mean if I tell you "do your own business" and "who art thou that judgest another man's servant?"

1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 ... aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and you may lack nothing. A good model for living, amen

It's also foretold that the church will be full of false teachers and idol shepherds. It is heartbreaking, but it's what we should expect, and not be surprised at it Will the Son find faith on the earth when He returns?

this doesn't say the church is going to cause the world to put on a veneer or righteousness, and this doesn't say it's the church's job to take worldly power and enforce outward moral behavior on the unbelieving world. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being...

stunned? ((har har har))

nowhere is it written that the church if it is faithful will cause the world to act righteous on the outside. in fact the scripture teaches us the opposite is true -- evil people will wax worse and worse. the church isn't supposed to get into politics and worldly power and force outward moral...
