Debbie, You are right as well, we are children of Abraham as Paul mentioned, Gal 3:7 "Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham" and Rom 4:16 "For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, " So I agree with you that we are "sons" meaning sons and daughters of Abraham by faith because that's what it says, "by faith". There is a difference here, if you note in Romans 4:16, the passage "not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith " makes a clear distinction that there is a difference of the two. This is where you have to go to Revelation and see that the promise of God to the people of Judah are kept with the 144,000. There is a lot of theology behind this so it is important to understand end times and past promises of God to the Jewish people. With this distinction, II Chronicles 7:14 speaks to the people of the Law as Romans 4:16 distinguishes. Why are we trying to make the world a better place when the Lord is going to destroy it eventually? Of course we need to preserve some sort of decency and morality which without a nation cannot stand but eventually and inevitably, the whole world will fall. We must keep an eternal prespective, stop pointing blame and preach the gospel. If they reject you, shake the dust off your feet and go on to the next person. Onnig |

You are so right. But if we know that the world is going to be destroyed anyway, why do anything? I think the bible says somewhere about "pray for peace in Jerusalem". Why should we follow that when we also know that the only time there will be peace is when the antichrist signs the treaty for peace, which he will eventually break himself. When I heard about the terrorists' action, all I could think was "God have mercy, God forgive us." I do believe the US will turn back to Him, just as the Ninevites repented after Jonah preached to them. But I bet there were Ninevites who said, "The man was a fool. God never was going to do anything anyway". | ||||||
