??? We are grafted into the blessings and promises of Abraham,...Jesus Christ, to form a One New man called the Church, the bride of Christ. This is why Israel is NOT the Church. Ephesians 2:13-15 (KJV) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of...

This seems to be a growing trend in the world and the 'Church' is following suit, as as a result of the disdain the world has for Scripture and it's people. The world has infiltrated the Church...or the Church has prostituted itself out to the world...or both.

Romans 9:6-8 KJV [6] Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: [7] Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. [8] That is, They which are the children of the flesh...

Are you saying Muslims and Arabs (who comprise the vast majority of the Middle East) will remain anti-Christian?

No where in Scripture is there a concept called 'spiritual Israel', it's a bogus false concept pushed by those with a false agenda.

I wasn't talking about 'winging it' (red herring), I was responding to your recommended formula of 'few words', which Paul didn't seem to grasp. lol

Little nifty formulas don't work either... Acts 17:1-3 (KJV) Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures...

What I was trying to express, is that we are to be already prepared to forgive them in our hearts even before the person asks for forgiveness, so that when they ask us to forgive them we don't have to 'drum it up', it's already there and we thus forgive them from our heart.

You are mixing apples and oranges. I said 'we must first have forgiveness in our heart' not 'we must want to forgive'. Sure God forgives those who repent, but the difference is, God can read our hearts and motives, we can't read the heart of others. ...and God will deal with those with...

Ezekiel 11:17 KJV [17] Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God ; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel. (this is happening) Ezekiel 11:19-20 KJV [19] And I will give them one heart, and I...

Some people are so antisemitic, their 'Replacement Gospel' blinds them to the true Gospel. Inspired by satan, Hitler had no problem in finding out who the Jews were and did not confuse it with the Church. Pharisees and E. Europeans? LOL. Simply antisemitic hatred.

Forgiveness must already be in our heart on the basis of God forgiving us ALL our sins. Their offense is minor in comparison to our guilt before God. If we don't already have forgiveness in our hearts, what are we going to do, fake it when a person asks us to forgive them?

We are already to forgive them in our heart before their repentance so that when they ask for forgiveness we pronounce our forgiveness verbally to them.

I think it is the other way around. We walk according to the Spirit because we have (already) entered in. Jn 5:24. Eph 2:6 etc. Jesus expects us to forgive those who trespass against us (7x70/day) how much more perfect/gracious is His forgiveness? Hebrews 12:6-7 (KJV) For whom the Lord loveth...

Often truth is spoken in terms of light. (Ps 43:3)(Ps 119:105) God's Word as found in Scripture enlightens our understanding. Darkness would be that which would be opposite of truth (lies) and darkens the understanding. Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the...

True, but resting in His Righteousness is better than striving in our flesh to keep the law thus producing works of the flesh as recorded in Gal 5.

Newsflash! Compared to His lawkeeping we sin ALL the time. Only those who have lowered the goal posts think they are sometimes sinless. His righteousness is above ours higher than the heavens are over the earth?

The works of the flesh as listed in the OP are a result of failed self effort attempts of trying to attain righteousness by the law rather than by God's Spirit (of grace). This is the main message of Galatians and Paul sums it up here... Galatians 3:2-5 NASBS [2] This is the only thing I want...

I hope you are not under the impression you are keeping the Sabbath as you no longer have a physical Temple for your physical rest. Wait, I forgot why we are having this silly conversation in the first place. My point is that Jesus is my Sabbath as I rest in Him. Come Judgment Day, believe me...

Regarding the Sabbath, yes, I keep it as I find my 'rest' in Christ and not in a certain day but everyday.
