Bible Note: "You either have ETERNAL life or you don't. I don't see anywheres where you have eternal life then you don't its a contradiction if that was the case." I agree. "Israel was not spared?" It wasn't obliterated, but it certainly wasn't spared from God's judgment. Ten of the twelve tribes were scattered to the four winds by the Assyrians, for example. The Old Testament shows this, and Jesus accurately prophesies the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70. "They seem to be doing fine" I wouldn't call generation upon generation of Jews going to hell due to rejection of their Messiah "doing well." "God isn't in the habit of breaking promises." No he isn't, but many of his promises are conditional. In the case of the churches in Revelation, for example, "Israel was/is being punished, but God has not forgotten them or broke the Covenant with them." Of course he hasn't, but most Jews nowadays show themselves to be covenant breakers. While he will always preserve a remnant of Israel, spiritual Israel consists of covenant-keeping Jews (read: Christian Jews) and the Gentiles who have been grafted in (read: Christian Gentiles). Those who will be in hell are not recipients of God's eternal covenant blessings. --Joe! |
