Hi meusing-welcome to the discussion--Here's something from Jeremiah--chp.31 vs-37--Thus saith the Lord-If heaven above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,I will also cast off all the seed of isreal for all that they have done-saith the Lord.--Yes they rejected HIM and we should be greatful to them for it---If they had not had their eyes "veiled" we gentiles would not have had a chance to be brought in and His death for our sins would not have taken place!They will "look on Him whom they have pierced" zechariah12:10 but not until "the fullness of the gentiles "has been brought in. in Him angel-1 | ||||||

that is what I meant when I said read Romans 9-11. Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That Gentiles who did not follow after righteousness [who did not seek salvation by right relationship to God] have attained it by faith [a righteousness imputed by God, based on and produced by faith], Rom 9:31 Whereas Israel, though ever in pursuit of a law [for the securing] of righteousness (right standing with God), actually did not succeed in fulfilling the Law. [Isa. 51:1.] Rom 10:19 Again I ask, Did Israel not understand? [Did the Jews have no warning that the Gospel was to go forth to the Gentiles, to all the earth?] First, there is Moses who says, I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry. [Deut. 32:21.] Rom 10:20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, I have been found by those who did not seek Me; I have shown (revealed) Myself to those who did not [consciously] ask for Me. [Isa. 65:1.] Rom 10:21 But of Israel he says, All day long I have stretched out My hands to a people unyielding and disobedient and self-willed [to a faultfinding, contrary, and contradicting people]. [Isa. 65:2.] Rom 11:2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? [Ps. 94:14; I Kings 19.] Rom 11:28 From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice (of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. Rom 11:31 So they also now are being disobedient [when you are receiving mercy], that they in turn may one day, through the mercy you are enjoying, also receive mercy [that they may share the mercy which has been shown to you--through you as messengers of the Gospel to them]. |

Hi meusing-let's go further on in John chptr12-vss37-41 especially vss. 40-41 " he hath blinded their eyes and hardened thair heart, that they should not see with their eyes,nor understand with their heart,and be converted,and i should heal them" I don't think we are really in disagreement here-at least not serious disagreement--I wittness to every person I can jew or gentile--His name is Jesus--in Him angel-1 | ||||||
