Bible Note: Dear Steve, ............. ¶ Somewhere on the thread above was presented scriptural support that believing Jews and gentiles are the true Israel of God, to which you agreed. "Not all Israel is Israel." The Church is the NT Israel. Believing gentiles have been grafted in to the people of God in fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed in his seed, that is, Christ. By faith gentiles now are the children of Abraham. Jews (physical descendants of Abraham) who do not believe in Christ are not sons of Abraham but of the devil. (John 8) ........ ¶ How has anything I've written about 2Chron 7:14 been contrary to the context of this verse? The context shows a God who answers prayer. Is this not applicable to God's NT Israel? ...... ¶Peace, Lionstrong |
