Bible Note: What you fail to realize is that Israel is all God's chosen people, not just the Jews. If you limit it to the Jews then you have missed one of the major points of Paul's letters, especially Ephesians and Galatians. The mystery of the New covenant is that God's grace is for "all" people, not just the Jews. The spirit that is pro-Jew and denies that the Church is the body of Christ is the spirit of antichrist. John says: John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 1 John 4:4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. A couple notes here. First John clearly indicates that antichrist is already at work in his day. Second, that spirit denies that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. What he means by "has come in the flesh" is the church. He makes that clear in verse 4 where he states that Jesus lives "in" us. To deny that there was a guy named Jesus is just plain rediculous. The quesiton is do you believe that He lives here and now, and that as the Bible says, the church is the "body" of Christ. Also, I highly recomend you go and read Galatians 4:19-31. You are missing something. |
