Premillennialism contradicts scripture (1 Corinthians 15:50-54) by having mortal flesh and blood inheriting the kingdom of God when Jesus returns.

This is exactly what Siritual Isralite wrote in post #988 here above you
Are you both getting this from the same source?
LOL. No. He just copied what I said because you need to read it carefully and learn something from it.

Here is the answer I gave him,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
There can be two households one of believing Israel and one the body of Christ,,,,,,,,that doesnt mean the body of Christ is a priesthood
There are two churches one of believing Israel and one the body of Christ just as there can be two households
Scripture never teaches this nonsense. There are not two churches and two households. You cannot find any scripture teaching that. You made it up in your imagination.

Not true. We Gentiles who have been grafted into believing israel.
If you want it to be about you then you have to accept being broken off as well..............[Rom 11:20-21 KJV] 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.

What are you talking about? Are you denying that Gentile believers were grafted into the cultivated olive tree? After the unbelieving Israelites were broken off, only the remnant of believing Israelites and believing Gentiles remained in the cultivated olive tree. Do you deny that?

I am saying that if you want to be grafted as a Gentile then you could be broken off as well from unbelief......the Gentiles grafted in were by believing the preaching of Peter not Paul

You mean broken off because of unbelief? Yeah. So?

.....the Gentiles grafted in were by believing the preaching of Peter not Paul
Paul was the apostles of the Gentiles (Romans 11:13), so he preached to Gentiles, also. So, I'm not sure what you're talking about here.

[Rom 11:5 KJV] 5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

There was an election of grace at the time Paul wrote Romans

This is the church Paul persecuted and was in existence at that time.........Paul had fellow laborers from this church

[Rom 11:13 KJV] 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

We arent the only Gentiles..............the Gentiles he spoke of arent Gentiles in the body of Christ................the Gentiles here are those Gentiles who were placed into the believing remnant of Israel by believing on the name of Christ; .this is the remnant of Romans 11:5.............this can be seen in Acts 10 ...........[Act 10:43-45 KJV] 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

[Rom 11:17 KJV] 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

These are the Gentiles grafted in NOT US the body of Christ Gentiles but rather the Gentiles in the church of the believing remnant of Israel

There was no mention in the OT of Jews and Gentiles forming a new creature........it was a mystery not known til Paul

Heb 11:13
(13) These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

They all died sanctified in faith as believers, not actually seeing Christ yet but receiving salvation through the promise Of God's covenant.

Heb 11:24-25
(24) By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
(25) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

That faith is saving belief, the grace of God's spirit working in him to sanctify him so his will was to do, and thus he believed. Even though Christ had not yet come to confirm the Covenant with Him, in efficacy he is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world for Old Testament saints. It was already foreordained that they should be under grace. This biblical principle is illustrated in Revelation 13.

Rev 13:8
(8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Also do you realized that the Holy Spirit did work in the Old Testament? Yes, He did!


Zec 14:8-9

(8) And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
(9) And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

The Holy Spirit as the Living Water came from the Cross, and half of it went toward the former sea, the Old Testament Saints, and the hinder sea, the New Testament Saints. The Holy Spirit did come upon individuals in the Old Testament per Ex odus 31:3, 2nd Samuel 23:2, Judges 3:10; 6:34; 11:29). Therefore, the Holy Spirit did sanctify the Old Testament Saints like we are today, and they all were made new creatures in Christ before the foundation of the Earth. Selah!
