Nation of false promise.

Where in the New Testament do we find "the kingdom God promised Israel"?

Well, let's run a test, with the first recorded prophecy in Scripture. Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Is this literal or spiritual? Please provide your interpretation.

Good. So what was your point?

Scripture is comprised of both literal and spiritual reality. Spiritual discernment is necessary to recognize spiritual reality.

This is the kingdom. Colossians 1 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: True when written in the present...

Scripture for a nation of promise?

Keep laughing. "Definition: a dispersion (Israelites in Gentile countries)" "From diaspeiro; dispersion, i.e. (specially and concretely) the (converted) Israelite resident in Gentile countries -- (which are) scattered (abroad)."

I know, that the Galatian brethren were the children of promise. Or was Paul lying?

Joshua 21 43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. 45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. Colossians 1 12 Giving thanks unto the...

Should the verse instead read "literally discerned"?

Ephesians 3:6 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Along with all other promises, fulfilled, realized, actualized, and accomplished in Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

In God's New Will and Testament, all covenants and promises are fulfilled only in Christ, and in those who are in Christ. The OT covenants and promises are the promissory clauses of God's Old Will and Testament, and they are both revoked and fulfilled in the promissory clauses of His New Will...

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I think he's a gander. But yes, no less silly. :)

Paul differs. Galatians 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. The Galatian Church was comprised of both Jews and Gentiles.

The diaspora was Israelites, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, living abroad. 1 Peter 1:1 Greek 3927 [e] parepidēmois παρεπιδήμοις sojourners Adj-DMP "in the N. T. metaphorically, in reference to heaven as the native country, one who sojourns on earth: so of Christians, 1 Peter 1:1;"...

"All Israel" in Romans 11 is the same "All Israel" as in Romans 9". Paul's doctrine is consistent. 1. Includes grafted-in Gentiles. 2. Comprised of the unblinded elect, who are the Church saved by grace. 3. "All Israel" are the beloved elect. "Of Israel" are the enemies of the Gospel...

I know what Paul said. I described "all Israel" and "of Israel" in a recent post. The Israel of promise is "all Israel": Not of Israel Not the children of the flesh The children of God The children of the promise Counted for the seed Would you agree?

For some reason, the author in your link, under the Abrahamic Covenant, concluded his first quote from Irenaeus immediately before Irenaeus declared the following: For his seed is the Church, which receives the adoption to God through the Lord, as John the Baptist said: "For God is able from...
