Dear James;

I do not disagree with the scriptures you posted however I do disagree with the Replacement Theology / Covenant Theology that you seem to be supporting. I will be happy to discuss this with you with only a few ground rules. First please refrain from adding words to the scriptures you quote. It is not necessary to make your point and it can only add to confusion. Secondly I would ask that we can accept one another as brothers in Messiah who simply wish to reason together from the scriptures as we are encouraged by God to do.

I believe it is unfair of the church to claim the blessings God promised to Israel without dealing with the curses that have come with Israel's disobedience. Often God pronounces judgement and acknowledges their sin in the same passages He reiterates His promises to them. See Deu 4:26-31,Deu 30:1-5, Jer. 31,32,33 Eze 16:59-62. When the promises of God towards Israel are claimed to have been forfeited it makes God's love conditional and does not fit his character of Grace. I also am offended because it makes God out to be a liar because he has promised with perfect foreknowledge not to turn away from them.

Eze 16:59-60 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

I also would ask if we could look at the scriptures you posted in the light of Romans 11. What do you think Paul meant when he spoke of natural branches and wild branches?

I won't go on an on now as I am afraid I may start to ramble. Please look at the scriptures I cited and I will allow you to lead our discussion as much as I can.

I would welcome discussing this with Emile as well. I have simply requested that he apologize for the harsh words he has used against other believers on this thread. I have offered an apology to him and have read many others who have likewise apologized. I pray that he will do the "Christian" thing and apologize as well. I would welcome the opportunity to go from there reasonably and with the love of Messiah Yeshua.

Shalom uv'rachah b'Yeshua HaMashiach - Peace and blessings in Messiah Yeshua - DLL
