Alan, I thought that I made it clear that I have never thought that the Church would in any form or fashion inherit the promises of God to Israel and the Jews. I want to post a passage that I believe Emil overuses to try and prove his point that the Church is the inheritor of the promises to the Jews. Romans 2:28,29 28For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. I believe that Paul is alluding to the fact that people who are not the physical decendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob but also those who are spiritually of the faith of Abraham that are the true heirs to Abraham's promises. This is the group of people to whom Christ, in His earthly ministry promised the kingdom and therefore all the inheritance of Abraham. Luke 12:32 "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Now here is where you have to realize that we are in the dispensation of Grace. The Mystery of Grace as Paul calls it. We can apply the following verse to us as Christians, all those who died in Christ, ever since the day that it was given to Paul and he started to preach the grace message up until this present age and until this age of grace ends during the Day of the Lord and the start of the tribulation. "Their is neither Jew nor Greek(gentile), there is neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 "ye whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. 16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.Galatians 6: Now Paul makes a distinction between ye who have been crucified to Him and upon the Israel of God. There is definitely two groups that he is talking about. My thoughts" The Church and the Israel of God, the Israel of God being all decendants of Jacob + those Jews who were saved and baptised in the little group of believers during Christ's time on earth. When Jesus returns to save his bloodline from annihilation, it will include all of those Jews who have turned to Christ. Comments? Santi
