What promise are you talking about exactly and who do you think are His chosen? Do you not think you are one of God's chosen?

I did explain it, but you're not understanding my explanation. Your view that God will one day do something for one nation in regards to salvation (save all of them) that He will not do for any other nation implies that you at least think that in the future one's nationality will be a factor in...

I've already explained why I said that more than once. Have you somehow missed that? If my impressions of what you said led me to the wrong conclusion about what you believe, so be it. I will adjust my understanding of what you believe then. But, I was not purposely misrepresenting your view and...

So, 930 years equals 1,000 years in your mind?

Well, here's one thing we agree on. I have pointed this out before as well. Those of us who can see that God's promises apply to both Jew and Gentile believers understand that no one has been replaced, but rather that Gentile believers have been joined together with Israelite believers in "one...

Well, excuse me for assuming that when you were reading CadyandZoe's replies to me that you also were reading what I said. I think it was quite reasonable for me to assume that you were at least reading some of my comments since he quoted them in his replies to me. But, you do nothing to...

Did you read the whole verse? You don't think Him smiting them and treading them in the winepress of the wrath of God is a description of Him destroying them? Did you continue reading any further after that? Does context matter to you? Revelation 19:16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this...

You should be able to explain why that would be the case in light of scripture like Hebrews 8-10 which says that animal sacrifices have already served their purpose. For what reason would they be reinstated? It would have to be some reason that doesn't contradict what is written in passages like...

I wasn't meaning that you actually said those exact words. I'm saying your beliefs seem to imply that. So, explain how you don't believe that when you do believe that everyone in the nation of Israel will be saved one day, but not everyone in any other nation. How can you believe that, but at...

That is not true. I assume when you say the next three chapters you mean the rest of chapter 9 as well as chapters 10 and 11? Romans 9:22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23...

No matter what you may think of me, just know that I would never purposely twist any words. Why would I? Do you think I don't want to be a Christian? Purposely twisting words would be a dishonest act. A sin. Why would I do that? I wouldn't. You certainly seem to imply it when it's your belief...

The answer should be obvious. Faithful Israel. That can be seen in Romans 9:6-8 and can be seen here as well: Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God hath not cast away his people...

Paul taught that the promises God made to Abraham and his seed apply to Christ and all those who belong to Christ. But, you make them apply to the nation of Israel instead. It seems that you don't pay any attention to Galatians 3:16 and Galatians 3:29.

I can read quite well. The issue has nothing to do with that, it has to do with you taking 2 Thessalonians 2:3 completely out of context. Doesn't it follow that if wickedness increases that there would be an increase in the number of those falling away from the faith as well? Is that not what...

Tell me what was not true about what I said? Is it not your belief that in the case of natural descendants of Israel that they will one day be saved partly due to their nationality? That's what my post was about. Is that not what you believe? That's how you have come across in your posts. I am...

Have you taken the time to see what that really means? It doesn't seem so. Psalm 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a...

You are trying to say that flesh and blood WILL inherit the kingdom of God? What do you think Paul was meaning to say here then: 1 Corinthians 15:50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

That's true. I appreciate that correction. It doesn't just look like it, you DID ignore Romans 9:24.

It really seems as if he's never read a word of it. Why is it that some people insist on making things as hard as possible on themselves by not allowing the New Testament to explain the meaning of Old Testament prophecies for them?

Who said that I haven't? Not me. Are you acting like you know what I've read or not? You shouldn't. So, this response indicates you DO believe that God makes covenants with unbelievers. So, when should Israelite unbelievers like the Pharisees and scribes expect God to fulfill His covenant with them?
