    "True" Israel?

    No it wasnt to all Adams progeny, but a chosen people from his progeny, the seed of Abraham Heb 2:14-16 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that...

    "True" Israel?

    No it was made known to Adam following the fall, it had been confirmed in Christ before the world began as with Abraham Gal 3:17 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it...

    Scripture that confirms that Jesus Christ as Saviour gives His People repentance, by blessing them and turning them from their sins Acts 3:25-26 25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the...

    "True" Israel?

    This sounds confusing, I believe Adam was under a Covenant of works, and the Covenant of Grace was with Christ b4 the foundation of the world, or its called the Everlasting Covenant. But no Covenant of Grace was ever made with Adam. But this is a different discussion

    The Church is Israel, the peculiar people of God Writing to the Gentile Church to perhaps its Gentile Pastor Titus, Paul writes Tit 2:14 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Now the proud jews...

    "True" Israel?

    The Children of promise ! Paul when writing in Rom 9:6-8 reference is made to the children of promise 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.
