1 | Jesus , the Messiah - Yeshua ha Mashiach | Bible general Archive 3 | skccab | 186418 | ||
Hi John I'm kinda there too, i.e., if Jesus caught the church away tonight (wouldn't that be marvelous??) those believing Jews would go too. I'm speaking of those who are not yet born-again, but are, with everything that is in them, still looking to be godly and hoping for Yeshua ha Mashiach. Just as down through the ages God has always had an army of born-again, Spirit-led people, He also has always had a remnant of godly Israel. Did that explain my thinking? I think we're pretty much on the same page. It's just that I don't think that becoming a Christian the Jew has given up his heritage of being natural born Israel. Instead we as non-Jewish become grafted in, spiritual Israel (this is how I understand Romans chapters 9-11). Am I all wrong here? I'm not arguing the point, there's just a lot of questions. Like, Doc, you said you were Jewish born. You probably don't observe the Jewish traditions now but do you not have a love for Israel, the land your Father promised to your people, and are they not still your people, even though they, as a whole may be blinded to the truth right now? Do you not pray for them first of all? (I do because Jesus told us too, but you should for that reason AND because they are your people.) in Love Cheri |

Hi Cheri, Yes, Pretty much we are on the same page. I would like too say as well that I am impressed with your knowledge of Scripture, Coming from a charismatic background. And please, don't any one get me wrong, please know my heart in this, as I have fellowship with charismatic christians, and Love them just as much as I do all my brothers and sisters. But I have sometimes found that the real 'meat' of the scriptures are left out of their teaching, but not always. And not necessarily that this is inherently wrong, there is a time and season for all things. ok, having said that, I think it is important to really see the difference between the Church, and the nation Israel, as we will someday be God's priests, to and for them. God promised the 'land' to Abraham, not to the Church, and its ok I guess to see it as though we are spiritually grafted in with them as spiritual Israel if you please. but in actuality we are not the same. Israel will be given the Land, and forever, as God promised, God will make 'our' dwelling place the new Jerusalem. that is were the Church will live if you please. And I don't know how, but we will be able to come and go to minister to all the nations of the world during the millennial rain, after that comes another Judgment. I believe even during that time, even though Jesus will be King, and His law will rule, many will fall because of mans sin nature. But as always, there will still be a 'remnent' of the nation Israel. I hope we are doing ok so far. I'm not very good at typing I need a break. :-( I've been at it all day. :-( God bless John |
