AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. [Rom 3:22; 1 Cor 12:13] |
Subject: spirtual seed? |
Bible Note: Hi John, Well your last statement is where we part company, as you suggest the following; “I truly believe that the Church is "spiritual" Isreal” I believe the Church is the Body of Christ not “spiritual Israel” and that we have an allotted time witch will come to an abrupt halt the moment the rapture takes place. It sounds to me like you might be boasting a little against the natural branches, i.e. Israel. Romans 11:18-23 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. [19] Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. [20] Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: [21] For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. [22] Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. [23] And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. The Church age is the age of the Gentiles, which is going to be fulfilled, then God it going to open the eyes of His chosen race, who for our blessing, have been given eyes of slumber, and God will graft them in again. Romans 11:25-28 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, “until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in”. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. I hope you aren’t hung up on the 144,000 that God is going to seal? They are all Jews and God knows exactly which tribe that they are from. Rev. 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. No Goy in that bunch, all descendants of Jacob, and God’s plan is right on time! x Have a nice day, CDBJ |
