Bill Mc: You write: "There are some who would say that Israel forfeited being God's people so the Christian now 'inherits' everything Israel was supposed to. I believe that certain promises were given only to Israel and that God is not finished with that nation yet." The Bible and I agree with you: "...certain promises were given only to Israel and God is not finished with that nation yet." Israel cast away? "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 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". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)". (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/ ) --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |

You are most welcome. Thank you also for your post in which you presented a scriptural answer. I would only change one thing about my recent post. In it there is one sentence that sums up the whole thing. I should have pulled that quote and put it by itself at the very top of my posting. Here is the quote: "That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture." |
