Do you mean that even though they don't believe in Christ, the grace of God saves them?

I wrote BarnyFife what I would say:

For years I thought these were unsaved Gentiles that were a law unto themselves, but no. These are grafted in Gentiles to the Church, without the Jewish law, but the law of the Spirit of life in Christ. How could I miss this for so long! Actually decades! I've only seen the truth for a couple...

According to the letter to the Laodecians in Revelation 3, God would have us be either hot or cold, but hates the lukewarm. Those are two very different types of Christians. The Hot are like the prophets and revivalists. Paul was hot and had more concern for a church or person to turn from...

Yes, this is the ministry of the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3: 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that...

I wish they could be, but it is only through Christ one is saved.

Well, I don't believe that God has abandoned this State of Israel. That is Replacement Theology. But they are still partially blinded for a couple more years, then all of them in that State will be saved.

Luke 10: 25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with...

Personally, I didn't think you meant I was devoid. I have been baptized in the Spirit when I was almost 30 and the Spirit wrote the eternal laws of God on my heart, which are more than the commandments of the Old Covenant (Exodus 34:28), to make me lacking nothing I need to be saved. I actually...

What was said to the Jews, the Gentiles inherited as they are grafted into Israel. The laws written on our hearts were the eternal laws of God: Love God with all your heart, mind and body, and your love neighbor as yourself. It is a mistake to believe they were the Ten Commandments. How can you...

I understand your confusion having once been SDA, and am not mocking you or your beliefs that the Old Covenant still is in force. You already have all of the new covenant you need to be saved, but have hung on to the old as well, not knowing the meaning of you can't put new wine into old...

I agreed with you until the last one. None of them were repeated in the New Covenant. They were the bottom line, but never went deep enough to make anyone righteous. Someone with hatred in his heart may still not murder - the bottom line.

What was finished was the Old Covenant. Otherwise "NEW" has no meaning if the old covenant was still in affect. Exodus 34:28

Those before Christ came, yes. Those who denied Jesus to His face and never accepted Him, no.

The way I look at it, Christ did all the suffering he could do to cleanse us of our sin, and just before giving up the ghost said, "it is finished." Don't diminish His sacrifice by saying He said that while alive. It is He that starts covenants, and it is He that ends covenants. So it ends when...

Cooper meant the Pharisees. They followed the Ten Commandments, yet were unbelievers in Christ.

I'm not sure how this is in response to my post. What State?

I agree. "It is finished."

When the temple was destroyed, they couldn't do many things. What, I don't know. I'm not Jewish.

Are they still stoning today in Jerusalem?
