Subject: Why did Jesus say "never again?" |
Bible Note: Thanks for the response. Paul writes, "and so all Israel will be saved." Has God elected to save ALL Israel, as in every single solitary individual of Abrahamic descent? Or, does this verse say, "and thus/in the same way all Israel will be saved"? Is Paul saying that Israel will miraculously start believing, everyone at the same time, and God will 'judiciously' regraft them into the olive tree? Or, is he saying, Thus/in the same way God is going to save all Israel? In the same way that God saves Gentiles who believed, God will save any Jew who believes? I doubt that any of you will buy it, but there is nothing judicious about saving people who don't believe, there is nothing judicious about God saving some who wouldn't believe in Him and damning all the rest because they couldn't believe? Call it whatever you will, but don't call it judicious. God bless, Disciplerami |
