Bob,
<<If you put any hope in receiving any gifts because of your flesh then you will be disappointed. The lineage of your flesh entitles you to nothing. Only those born of the Spirit of God are entitled to the promises. >>

Amen ! Because if that were the case then the promises would surely have also gone to Esau, Ishmael, and a whole host of others who call Abraham their father after the flesh.

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."

The Holy Spirit is telling us here that all of the holy dreams of the men of faith in ancient Israel, all of the promises, all of the prophecies, all of the hope are fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In verse 19 he says it was "not yea and nay, but in him was yea". Not maybe yes all is fulfilled in Jesus or maybe no, but absolutely YES, all was fulfilled in Jesus.
For those who have experienced the Kingdom promises of Christ through His death, Resurrection and giving of the Holy Spirit, this is elementary and fundamental Christiantiy. For those who have not, they must wrestle with the carnal elements of the Old Coveanant to give meaning to a mental religion that has not fully formed in their hearts yet.
Jesus has done all things perfectly when He established His Kingdom.
He forgave the sins of mankind, recreated their human spirit by giving them a new birth and then filled them with His Holy Spirit as a comforter and teacher. That is His HOly Church and Body--the Kingdom of God. There will never be anything greater for man until he receives the fullness in his resurrected body and sees Jesus face to face in worship and adoration.

The sad part of all this is that we must spend so much time exposing heretical and false teachings rather than spend our time praying and helping one another understand and appropriate all the promises that came with our salvation---

2Cor.2
"19: For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus
and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
20: For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
21: Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
22: Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."

I am sorry Bob but I see it as more spiritual than you are. We just can not communicate on this and I don't want to with you anymore. You know that I love the Lord and He will take care of me and others for He is our true Teacher and will never leave us or forsake us so I do not question your relationship with Him or how you believe it is you that is concerned with me so I suggest you pray for me for I would have to be shown by Him that there is no National acceptance of Yeshua in the future by the Jews. By the way since I have a Gentile mother and Jewish father I would not be accepted by the Jews so it would be suicide for me to put confidence in the flesh, my opinions are totally based on scripture and a love God has given me. I am a dispensationalist to the core and find to many weaknesses in the Covenant Amilinealist views to accept them. But I have searched them all and made a decision on information not on what felt right. Thank you for your concern, Nancy
