Haha. No kidding. It seems that some here would be more comfortable following Judaism rather than Christianity. In Christianity Jew and Gentile believers have been brought together as one body and as the one people of God by the blood of Christ. Some here are talking about some other religion...

And you know this how? Or are you just wanting that to be the case? The text certainly does not say that.

No, He will do that when He returns. That is talking about Him literally putting down all rule and authority and power forever, which He will do when He returns and destroys all of His enemies. To me, verses 22-23 clearly refer to His second coming and indicate that those who belong to Him will...

In Daniel 9:27, when it talks about the sacrifices and offerings ceasing, it is not talking about the literal end of sacrifices and offerings, it is talking about them being made obsolete (no longer in effect, no longer necessary). You do understand that Christ's sacrifice made the old covenant...

Have you never read the following where His people came to realize that He promised them something even better, so, as a result, they started looking for something better? Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance...

We are showing how an event being the worst ever can be understood in different contexts (such as most people killed, highest percentage of people killed, worst types of atrocities occurring, etc.). But, you don't seem to want to even consider that. I made no such claim. Not even close. Why do...

LOL. Exactly. Dispensationalists are so literal and carnal in their thinking that they can't even accept that God revealed something even better than what was originally revealed. As if God is not allowed to do that for some reason. "No, God. Sorry. You have to stick with the original promise...

Wrong. Don't try to tell me how I am interpreting it. I will tell you how I am interpreting it. My interpretation sees Paul as referring to the descendants of the nation of Israel and to spiritual Israel. That's two Israels. And I believe he indicated that not all of the descendants of Israel...

Yep, that's what he's talking about alright. I'm trying to get him to actually read Romans 11 so that he can actually see what it's about, but it appears he'd rather just make things up without reading it.

Have you never read this: Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4...

Yes, exactly. Do you not think you are grafted into the tree? Where does it say a branch (singular) was cut off? It doesn't. It says branches (plural) were cut off. Stop changing scripture. Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted...

Exactly. Well said. People foolishly accuse those of us who see it the way you described here as promoting replacement theology even though we don't believe anyone has been replaced. It was God's plan from the beginning to include Gentile believers as "fellowheirs" of His promises (Ephesians 3:1-6).

Don't put words in my mouth. The ones Paul talked about in particular were his fellow Israelites that were alive in his day. I didn't then say something else besides that. You are just not understanding what I'm saying because you have terrible reading comprehension skills. That is not what...

Yes, and I showed you how ridiculous it is to see it how you do. So, when it says Christ will appear it means He will understand? It says we will see Him as He is. You think that means we will understand Him as He is? No one does. Are you just saying it is not yet made known what we will be? I...

When you say things like "I can only go by what is written" it comes across as if you go by what is written and I don't. You can understand how that can come across, right? Regardless, I accept your apology. No issues. The order Paul gave was of bodily resurrections just like Christ's. That is...

We are discussing Daniel 9 and related scriptures. You are the one who thinks Daniel 9 has something to do with the salvation of all Israel, so it is you who brought Romans 11 into the discussion, not me. LOL. No, I do not. When all you can do is constantly make false claims like this the way...

I agree. The stubbornness we see being displayed on this forum at times is almost unbelievable. There clearly are various contexts in which an event can be considered the worst of all-time. It could be one resulting in the most total deaths (Christ's return will be the winner there). It could...

When Paul talked about a spiritual body, he was not talking about the corporate body of Christ. He was comparing one type of individual body (the natural body like we all have) with another type of individual body that he called a spiritual body. So, you acknowledge that it is the spirits of...

I only go by what is written as well, so it's pointless to say things like this. It comes across as if you're saying I'm not going by what is written. I am. But, I interpret some things that are written differently than you. So be it. We both know we also interpret many other things the same. I...

Are you kidding? It has EVERYTHING to do with this conversation. You can't understand what Paul meant when he said "and so all Israel shall be saved" without understanding which Israel he was talking about. Romans 9:6-8 is not that complicated. You have to make things complicated in order to...
