MATTHEW 25:30 THE UNPROFITABLE SERVANT

[Fred J]

The body of Christ found in Paul's epistles will be in heavenly places.......only believing Israel will be priests in the kingdom on earth

Again i disagree strongly.

The body of Christ mentioned in Paul's epistle is the church on earthly places.

1 Corinthians 12:
12. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond of free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
25. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.


The body of Christ, the church, since the beginning consist of the remnant of Jews and Gentiles in 'equality' and 'oneness'.

From then on when their time on earth is up, they die or in other word, asleep, Jews or Gentiles alike await for the 'first resurrection'.

...only believing Israel will be priests in the kingdom on earth

You're still in ancient Israel and Temple and under the Law and bound.

Acts 9:
15. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto Me, to bear My name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

In all the epistles of Paul addressed to the Gentile nation churches, he prophesy all the promises of God 'equally' to the Gentiles and Jews now in one body of Christ.

There's no such divided testament that only the believing Israel will be priest in the kingdom of earth and in Heaven.

Again it's merely your usual 'spin' and 'twist' varying from the actual and truthful New Testament account.

Hope you get it or in vain am just talking to a brick wall.
