1 | Why did God wait to send the Holy Spirit | Joel 2:28 | Sir Pent | 114094 | ||
Disagreement............................................ Hi Jcsav, I want to thank you again for pointing me to the Galations 4 passage. It has been helpful for my thinking and also assisted coming to consensus with EdB on this issue. However, I think that I disagree with your interpretation of the passage. You seem to be saying that the passage is comparing Jews and Gentiles. I think that instead he is comparing God's people in the Old and New Testament. In the Old Testament, God's people were the Jews and they were under bondage to the law (Gal 4:1-3). Then the critical change happened when Jesus came (Gal 4:4) and God's people were all those who believed, whether Jew or Gentile. Furthermore, the relationship of God to His people changed from a master/servant relationship to a father/son relationship (Gal 4:5-7). What do you think? |

Though your statement have some correctness to it. I am trying to understand why you don't understand Paul fully. You seem to understand that in God, there is neither Jew or Gentile. But, do you realize that in the Church then (the Galatian Church, which was mostly Jews) and the Church today (The True Church) that there are both Jews and Gentiles? | ||||||

Agreement................................................... Hi again Jcsav, I agree that in God there is neither Jew or Gentile. I also agree that as humans there is still a definition of "Jew" and "Gentile". I also agree that the Church today has some people who would be classified as "Jews" and others who would be classified as "Gentiles". For instance, my wife has some Jewish ancestry, and I do not think that I have any myself. And we are both believers and a part of the Church today :) |

Very Good. You understand better than I thought. So the Jews that believe is the remnant that is spoken of in Romans 11:5. This is true today as well. That is who Paul was speaking to. Can you include the Gentiles? In parts of it, maybe. But that is not who Paul was speaking to. | ||||||
