Greetings James and all who love the Lord Jesus Christ,
<<< The children of the flesh are not the children of God. God has, at the crucifixion of Jesus, made one people in Christ, the Israel of God. All races and color are under one banner, that of Christianity >>>
Very well said, the crucifiction is the pivotal point in understanding scriptures and who are the people of God.
I understand scripture to teach that Gods people are those who are in covenant with Him. In the Old Testament it was Israel, while now under the New and better covenant, Gods people are from ALL NATIONS ( Jew and Gentile, as many as God will call ). This fullfills the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12:3 and made possible by the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. That being through the lineage of Abraham Jesus would come and would bless ALL nations with the " Good News ".
The Jews today have the same opportunity as the Gentile nations " believe on the Lord Jesus Christ ".
But sad to say the majority of christians living in North America have bought into the " dispensational lie " which teaches that God has two peoples, Jews and Christians. This is a heresy and violates the clear teaching of scriptures.
The Hal Lindseys, John Hagees, Jack Van Impees etc, etc, along with the the founder of Dispensationalism, Scoefield spew this abominable heresy to the " sleeping Church ".
May the Lord cause many of His Children to hear and " wake up " to see the error of this teaching.
The Lord Bless and keep you James as you honor His Word.
In Christ, Robert |
