Amen brother. No decapitated 70th week.

It doesn't. That might be a dispensational argument, although I'm not even aware of such. It is not a historical Christian argument. It certainly isn't a Scriptural argument. Who can you cite for support? In Romans it applies exclusively to salvation from sin. It doesn't. In Romans it...

Below are all of the instances in Romans where Paul uses the word "saved". In all instances apart from Romans 9:27, not one uses "saved" in the sense of being saved from enemies. Rather, every instance refers to the salvation of the soul. So Romans 9:27 also refers to the salvation of the...

Yes, Justin Martyr was premil. And he believed that the Church is the "true Israelitic race".

Of course. Those who are "of Israel" can be transformed into "all Israel" at any time through saving faith and ongoing obedience. But since those who are "of Israel" eat kosher, I presume you believe that it will save them.

Evidence? Justin Martyr (100-165AD), Dialogue With Trypho The Jew. "As, therefore, Christ is the Israel and the Jacob, even so we, who have been quarried out from the bowels of Christ, are the true Israelitic race."

Imagine that. I've always believed from Scripture that faith and obedience were God's requirements to be chosen. Now I'm told that eating kosher will satisfy at least part of that requirement. How much and how often do I need to eat it? Is one forkful a day sufficient? And what is the...

Romans 11:26 (all Israel) is identified in Romans 9:6-8. I've covered that previously.

Does God now identify a Jew by culture? If so, is eating kosher sufficient to qualify?

What to believe? 1. More than 17 centuries of the united testimony of acclaimed defenders of the True Faith or 2. Less than one century of modernist denial No dilemma for me.

Why are you denying Romans 9:27?

From the pen of acclaimed historical apologist Matthew Henry: "All Christians, wheresoever they be, compose one holy nation. They are one nation, collected under one head, agreeing in the same manners and customs, and governed by the same laws; and they are a holy nation, because consecrated...

No. Only a remnant will turn to God. (Romans 9:27) As is true of the entirety of humanity.

"They" are not identified today by genetics, as they themselves acknowledge and applaud. "They" are identified today by culture, community, and religion. But salvation cometh not by culture, community, and religion. It comes by grace through faith in the Son of God. Spiritual DNA. And...

The only nation in Peter's letters is the holy nation of 1 Peter 2:9. And there is only one holy nation of the New Covenant. The Church of God.

Here is your "Jewish People" figment. Every person on the planet. After more than three millennia of natural genetic dispersion and diffusion, Abraham's physical DNA is ubiquitous in every inhabitant of planet earth. Genetically, "Jewishness" is found in the entirety of humanity. Established...

It was directed to believing Israelites in exile. Israelites were comprised of both Jew and Gentile.

That's a bullet that you can't dodge. If, as you claim, the nation of 1 Peter 2:9 is the literal nation of Exodus 19:6; then the priesthood of 1 Peter 2:9 is the literal priests of Exodus 19:6. That's simple undeniable unassailable logic and consistency. Of course, if logic and consistency...

There's a British idiom "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander", meaning that one person or situation should be treated the same way that another person or situation is treated. So what's sauce for the literal Israelite nation being imposed upon 1 Peter 2:9 is sauce for the literal...

In the same way that Paul's letter to the predominantly Gentile Galatian church was relevant to both Jews and Gentiles, so was Peter's letter to the churches, which included that same predominantly Gentile Galatian church, relevant to both Jews and Gentiles. It was not limited to Jews.
