2 | Abrahamic covenant fulfillment ?...ect.. | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 99749 | ||
Greetings Notmyown! So how is everything at JBU? My father went to JBU while he was serving as a pastor in Northwestern Arkansas. Now, to your topics: 1. "The church has not replaced God's plan for Israel".. FOR: Those who argue "FOR" the above comment would point to the restoration of Israel (Zephaniah 3:18-20; Zechariah 8:1-17; chapters 12,13,14; 1 Peter 2:9) and verses such as Ex. 29:28; 32:13; 2 Sam. 7:24. AGAINST: Those who argue "AGAINST" the above comment would point to the fact that the Jews have, for the most part, rejected the Gospel, and Christianity has spread and thrived among the Gentiles (Matthew 21:33-46; Acts 10,11; Romans 2; Eph. 2:11-13). 2. "Abrahamic Covenant (not yet fulfilled)".. FOR: Those who argue "FOR" the above comment would point to the fact that there continues to be people being born as Abraham's descendants to this very day (Gen. 45:7; 2 Kings 19:31; Ezra 9:13; Isaiah 10:21; Jer. 23:3; 50:20; Micah 2:12; 4:7; 5:7; Zephaniah 2:9; Zechariah 9:7; Romans 9:27; 11:5), and the nation of Israel has not yet been able to acquire complete, uncontested rights to the land that was promised to them in Gen. 17:8. Also, God promised "to be God to you and to your descendants after you".. (Gen. 17:7), which has not been completed if there continues to be descendants born to Abraham. AGAINST: Those who argue "AGAINST" the above comment would point to the fact that the New Testament itself affirms that the "Abrahamic Covenant" has been fulfilled (Romans 4:16-18; 15:8-12; Gal. 3:29; Rev. 7:9; 21:24). I hope that this gives you a good start. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
