Bible Question:
Quote, "Thus, proving Paul’s point that simply being a physical descendant of Abraham does not make you a part of the spiritual Israel." Textually, how do you draw a distinction here between what you are calling "spiritual" Isreal and "True" Isreal? |
Bible Answer: shecky, As your question has no reference point, I'm having some difficulty determining exactly what your asking? Could you clarify "Spiritual" Israel? There are those who believe that the Church is "spiritual Israel" and those who do not. I'm of the latter that the Church, the Body of Christ is separate and distinct from Israel. I believe scripture makes such a distinction (Eph. 2:11-12,3:6). The only debatable reference I'm aware of that's used to support the Church being "spiritual Israel" is Gal. 6:16 "And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God." I hope this helps, BradK |
