God surely knows who the 12 tribes are. One thing is certain, it isn't the genetic progeny of those tribes dispersed nor is it those who today call them selves Jews in present day Israel.

oh dear...going around and around and missing the point. Your quotes do not answer the questions of who Israel is in both my posts charity.

Well Charity...you've surprised me. Those 'lost' tribes dispersed thousands of years ago and continually mixed with the nations and others that dispersed them; you could hardly say these folk are Israelites. Their DNA is no longer pure as far as belonging to 'Israel" is concerned particularly...

Would ask, is little ol' Mary a man?

Ok, let me start from another angle taking it a bite at a time and lets see if we can make some progress. Perhaps we can start with the question of who is and what does Israel consist of. Does it consist of a geographical location in the middle east with bricks and mortar or is it about...

Dear Charity...Yes there are several covenants recorded in the scripture and as said in my previous post they consist of the same covenant repeated to different men. It was given to Adam, to Noah, to Moses etc. The Old Covenant is called so because the message of Salvation was conveyed to people...

Would it make a difference if I offered scripture? Does offering scripture verses make a difference? Besides, any who are interested need only ask and they would be provided. Unless one is honest, open and willing truth is subjugated to bias and bias is as fickle as the weather forecasts.

What you don't seem to understand justbyfaith or perhaps it is that you choose to misunderstand is that no one is saying that one is justified by keeping the law....that has been clarified infinitum. By bringing this charge repeatedly, evidence that your ears are stopped to what is actually...

Well said brakelite! ....I see it his way, the message is going out so that none will have an excuse.....every man and woman at each juncture are casting their vote in their attitude towards God's Law and slowly or not so slowly but surely they are preparing for the time when their irreversible...

Leave them Jesus said, they are blind guides. I've taken a feather out of that cap. I notice that Jesus didn't engage them in endless dialogue and the reason is obvious.....there is none so blind as he who will not see.

what a shamozel!

You are thrashing in the straw GISMYS_7 and in so doing blurring the intent of Paul's statement to Timothy. He is saying he does not want any to be lost....that is not to say that people will not be lost; the scripture is quiet clear on this. Clarification is needed so that context remains...

My dear... I believe the chosen of God are from all nations, tongues and people and not the Jews only. Israel is a metaphor for God's people as is Jerusalem, as is the term 'Jew' as Paul verifies. To misunderstand this is to be on the back foot, nay, it is to look in the wrong places for the...

Charity, consider this.....The promise of redemption was given to Adam and his seed. All other promises (covenants) are a reiteration of this same promise. The phenomena of Israel is but a type of God's people called out of Egypt. The tabernacle/temple of Israel is a type. In fact, all the...

In Spirit = the conscious core of ones reality. In Truth = the willingness to come clean at every juncture.

If the law no longer applies how can there be lawlessness?

It sounds a muddled CL. Do you now have no propensity to sin now that you have the spirit and the moral law is in your heart? Do you not sin at all?.... If both of your answers are no to these questions then surely there is a muddle and you are out of step with John in his first letter 1 John...

I am saying he sees the weakness in his own flesh which is perishing and gives thanks that in Jesus there is no condemnation. Does this give him licence to ignore the Ten C's?....certainly not.

I'm sorry you cannot see my point. You make charges totally unfounded and it is all because you do not see. You turn the scripture to say what it is not saying by deliberately misunderstanding its intent so that it shores up your misconception. The same situation applied with Jesus and the...
