All of us in Christ ~ regardless of ethnicity ~ are the surviving Jews of God ~ because we have been called by God ~ who get saved in the end, dad. Right. Of what nation in matters not. There is no ethnic distinction. Goodness gracious. Those who are called by God are saved, dad. We are...

Te remnant that God is preserving for Himself is all His elect, dad. All who are called by God, Jew and Gentile alike, folks from every tongue, tribe and nation. They are true Jews of God, His Israel. Regardless of ethnicity. children of the promise through Isaac. In Christ. I guess… That we...

I’d be a little interested to hear your reasoning why you think Judas is not saved. I could tell you why I changed my mind on it, and I will if you like, but yeah, why do you think that? lol! Maybe someday you’ll come to realize you think far more along the same lines as Calvin did. That was...

Right. And if you don't think that's happening right now, well, somehow you must not have heard about what's happening in the Ukraine and Iran right now, for starters... LOL! Grace and peace to you, Davy.

Yes. <smile> Well, I agree... not "every nation," but people of ~ or hailing from ~ every tongue, tribe, and nation (people group). Well, "survivors" in the sense of Joel 2:32... "And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and...

Ugh. <smile> The children of Abraham are all believers, all children of the promise. And true Jews, as Paul says in Romans 2:28-29. We are all born again of the Spirit and are thus. The New Jerusalem is not a literal city, but a symbol of God’s people living with Him in a restored paradise...

Oh my goodness... Right, there will be believers alive here on earth during the final conflict, which may be very close, even by our standards. Agree, but they will not be "removed" for any period of time. God never promises to remove us from trouble, or trial, or tribulation, but to walk...

Which will be an inumerable multitude, from every tongue, tribe, and nation... Yes, the whole earth. Jesus says so in Matthew 5:5... "the meek shall inherit the earth." No, as I said, we are that city, the city of God. Well... me either. <smile> But, innumerable multitude that they are ~...

Yes. Folks do that from time to time, you know. <smile> Interesting to know that you keep a running record of everything I've said. I mean that's good; maybe some of it will... you know... sink in... <chuckles> But it's kinda creepy at the same time, like a...

Right, or... the true vine, as Jesus says in John 15: "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." <smile> And all we in Christ are grafted in...

A dispensation, RVMB, as it is used in the passages you yourself cited, is a plan, or intention, not a time period. God has one plan, one intention, and that is to unite all things to Him in Christ, to make all things new. Just using Ephesians 1:10 as a case in point, this is the ESV...

Sure, and all of us will come out of the time of tribulation... successfully. <smile> God will see to that. <smile> As Jesus said to His disciples ~ and by extension to all of us who are in Him, recorded by John in John 16:33 ~ "In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have...

A little late to the party, I am, obviously... <smile> I like your OP, dad, but okay, who are the children of Abraham? You might want to remember what Paul says in Romans 9:6-8... "...it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel...

Judas was not saved. Peter repented and was restored for his denial of Jesus, and he is remembered as the rock, not primarily as the denier of Christ. But Judas never turned from his sin and bears the shame of his deed forever. Now, Judas is remorseful after the fact, changing his mind about...

Me, too, actually. You know, this is just me saying this, and I'm a conservative Christian, but just in the way the concept is... bandied about... I would actually say there is no such thing as a "holy war" in the way most people think or talk about that kind of thing. Grace and peace to you...

I did not deny that, SI. I even acknowledged it. But the issue is your apparent understanding of the Greek word used there. Maybe I'm wrong about what you understand a covenant ~ or yes, a testament ~ to be. Define it for me. Maybe I'll agree with you. <smile> <eye roll> Well Paul does...

Your idea of Israel, dad, who Israel is, who makes up God's Israel is far, far too small. You will be offended at that, but that's not my intention at all. There is no Jew or Gentile; we are all one in Christ Jesus. Lesser Israel, yes. But greater Israel, God's true Israel, His household...

I did; you missed (or possibly ignored) my point concerning that (specifically the word 'testament'). Sure, and I acknowledged that. Not so. See above. Ahhhh... <smile> It might be better to talk about what the covenant of works is first, and when and with whom it was made: In the...

Sure they were.The land promised to Abraham and his immediate progeny was a sliver of land on the eastern end of what is now the Mediterranean Sea, but the greater reality of that promised land is the whole earth. Yes, specific in both respects/instances, but the ultimate far greater than the...

Ah, well, yes and no. The promise of land in God's covenant with Abraham was a type, a shadow, of the real promise, so "lesser" in that sense, and indicative of the greater promise to come. The greater promise of land came in the Person of Jesus Christ, Who said... [in the New Testament, of...
