Bob, I can appreciate your thinking along this line but do not confuse the Body of Christ, the Church of God with the Kingdom program that God will fulfill with the Jews. God is specifically dealing with Gentiles and born-again Christians during this dispensation of Grace given to our Apostle, Paul. You must approach the Word of God from a broader aspect than to pull verses out of context and try to make them fit in with the complete Word of God.
Galatians
"26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
When God resumes His program with the Jewish nation there will come out of the tribulation 144,000 Priests of Israel that will turn the Jewish nation back to Christ and they will all be saved because of the promises God made to Abraham and the prophets.
Look at what God says to His chosen people, the Hewbrews, in the Hewbrew books of the Bible.
You must at least be open enough to read and appreciate what God's Word really says about the Church of God and the Hewbrews.
Regards,
James |
