I agree with you. I am a child of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. No one comes to the Father except through faith in Jesus. He said "I am the way, the truth and the life."
There is no other way to be redeemed except through the shed blood of Jesus.
I honestly don't know anything about Jewish teaching today, but I do know that the Holy Spirit of God said through the Apostle Paul (Romans 11: 25-29) -
"Lest you be self-opinionated (wise in your own conceits), I do not want you to miss this hidden truth and mystery, brethren: a hardening (insensibility) has [temporarily] befallen a part of Israel [to last] until the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles has come in,
" And so all Israel will be saved. As it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob.
"And this will be My covenant (My agreement) with them when I shall take away their sins. From the point of view of the Gospel (good news) they [the Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's choice of election, of divine selection), they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers.
"For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. {he never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He send His call."
This is Romans 11:25-29 (Amplified Bible). Romans is in the New Testament, you know, the New Covenant?
Is this passage what you are referring to as "dispensationalist"???? If you have a problem with this passage, you might pray about it. Perhaps the Holy Spirit will give you light on it. I'm sure He will if you ask.
I really didn't understand what you were saying about dispensationalism. I think this passage from Romans makes it pretty clear how God feels about the Jewish people and that He has already planned a massive outpouring of revelation and revival to bring all the Jewish people into His kingdom. That's what the passage says. I don't see how it can be any clearer or how it can be twisted to say something else. The Jewish people are going to see Jesus and they are going to be saved, according to the Holy Spirit speaking through the Apostle Paul in Romans.
Yes we need to love all people everywhere and do good to all. In fact the only way Christians can tell if they are truly born again is if they love. That's what the New Testament says. We are to love all, every race, every color, every nation, and do good to all. That's what Jesus does and what He expects us to do. |
