That doesn't actually address my post.I think the Key Word is reconcile. Jesus took the form of a servant to come for the purpose of reconciling us back to God, and achieved His purpose.
Much love!

I was thinking of why He seems so different from the OT to the NT. That in the OT time we see God as the judge of the whole earth, for the most part blessing/cursing Israel according to the terms of their covenant, and at times judging the other nations. When I go back to your post, it seems to me we are looking at this the same.That doesn't actually address my post.
Israel has more to their covenant with God. Many think that the Sinai Covenant is over, but Peter affirms it's not. Actually there are many prophecies that Israel, once they, as a people, have come to faith when He comes in glory, that they will then receive all that goes with their covenant made at Sinai. They will "keep all the statutes and judgment", a people as James described, "zealous to keep the Law".
They will be the head of nations, prosperous in everything, all that was described for them in their covenant. Fulfilled on their behalf. The benefit received when they trust into Christ, who fulfilled it on their behalf.
You see, Israel, they get to have their cake . . . and eat it too!
They will live in a glorious kingdom age for 1,000 years, showing the world what happens to the people who have been chosen by the LORD.
Much love!
To be clear, I'm in absolute agreement with this.The only way that ethnic Jews are made right with God is through the cross and resurrection of Christ.
What more to their Covenant with God does Israel have that other people do not Mark?
I can see your point,yes.I was thinking of why He seems so different from the OT to the NT. That in the OT time we see God as the judge of the whole earth, for the most part blessing/cursing Israel according to the terms of their covenant, and at times judging the other nations. When I go back to your post, it seems to me we are looking at this the same.
Jesus came as servant to save us, and set aside judging us, so He could reconcile us, showing us an see your point,yes. different way of addressing us. Does that help clarify?
Much love!
Exactly. But, he won't listen. He will just continue foolishly misrepresenting our view using a term that does not describe what we believe because he doesn't care if he misrepresents our view or not. He posted this same thing on another forum and I called him out on his nonsense and he just doesn't care.Randy don't state what you think Amillennialism doctrine is. I know MANY Amillennialists, including myself, and not ONE of them believe or teach that the Christian Church rejected or even replaced the nation of Israel. Amillennialism in fact believes that faithful Israel together with faithful Gentiles are and have always been the Church. It's not a doctrine of replacing or separation as you assume, but is a doctrine of inclusion of all the faithful of the whole world no matter what their ethnic makeup. This is true of both Old Covenant faithful Israel as well as New Covenant faithful Israel. Who together are the Church in the wilderness, and not an ethnic Israel, but "Israel of God."
My advise to you is this, before assuming to argue for or against ANY doctrinal biblical position learn the position you desire to argue against well before speaking. Otherwise, as you've done here, you show yourself to err concerning doctrine you THINK you know, but in reality you DON'T KNOW very well at all.
