Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; Rom 9:7 nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but: "THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED." Rom 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. How does this passage fit with what you stated? Thanks, John |

Hath God cast away his people? Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ____________________ "That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture." ____________________ (Source: bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ ScofieldReferenceNotes/) 'rejected (cast) 'That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter. '(1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant (Romans 11:1 ) '(2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it (Romans 11:2-6). '(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen (Romans 11:7-10). '(4) Israel's unbelief is the Gentile opportunity (Romans 11:11-25). '(5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ (Romans 11:17-22 ). '(6) They are to be grafted in again (Romans 11:23,24). '(7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved (Romans 11:25-29). 'That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; (Genesis 15:5,6 ; Galatians 3:29) and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant. (See Scofield Genesis 15:18) but Israel as a nation always has it own place, and is yet to have its greatest exaltation as the earthly people of God. See "Israel" (Genesis 12:2 ; Romans 11:26 "Kingdom"; Genesis 1:26-28 ; Zechariah 12:8).' Bibliography Information Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Jude 1".

Kingdom Blessings Depend Upon Following The King To be a member of a kingdom means to swear allegiance to its king. Jesus is the King of Israel and those who follow him are members of his kingdom. Consider the implications of these passages: John the Baptizer, said: "For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham" (Luke 3:8). The Scriptures teach that all those who believe are Jesus' brothers (Romans 8:29 and Hebrews 2:10-11). Jesus said "whoever who does God's will is my brother and sister and mother" (Mark 3:35). Jesus said he had other sheep, not of that flock (10:16). All believers are Jesus' family and the sheep of His flock. Paul says Gentile believers are grafted in to the tree of Israel, become Abraham's children by faith, become heirs to the blessing of Abraham and are citizens of Israel (Romans 4:16-18; 11:17-21; Galatians 3:14; and Ephesians 2:19). So, we see that every believer is a brother of Jesus, a child of Abraham, part of the flock of the Shepherd of Israel, grafted into the tree of Israel, an heir to the promise given to Abraham, and a citizen of the commonwealth of Israel! How wonderful to have become, spiritually, part of Israel! (Rev. Fred Klett) Dear Kalos, I don't buy into the idea of the church replacing the Jews. Rather I see it as an expansion of the Kingdom of Christ. John |
