While Moses was leader, God slew many Israelites, and preserved many Israelites.
He did not deal with Israel as a unit.
He dealt with them individually according to their individual faithfulness and obedience, or individual unfaithfulness and disobedience.
As He always has.
God slew many within the nation, and preserved many within the nation.
He did not treat Israel as a unit, but dealt individually with the individuals within it.
We could start here . . .
Exodus 19:3-8 KJV
3) And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4) Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5) Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6) And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7) And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8) And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Much love!
Oh, but He does!
Jeremiah 31:35-37 KJV
35) Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
36) If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37) Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
My God keeps His promises.
Much love!
OK, got it!
While you think God cancelled His promised to one people and then made that promise to another people, I think God keeps His promises according as He made them.
And what would stop God from cancelling His promise to you? I don't see God the way you see Him it seems.
Jeremiah 31:35-37 KJV
35) Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
36) If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
37) Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
The sun rose again today . . .
2 Peter 1:2-4 KJV
2) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
I've learn to live by the promises of God. That's the kind of certainty I have.
Much love!
Indeed He does.
The seed of Israel.
Galatians 3
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

God speaks to the "Remnant of Israel" as being his people, who are the elect according to God's foreknowledge, not a "National Israel" as you falsely claim
Save Thy People "The Remnant Of Israel"
Jeremiah 31:6-7KJV
6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God.
7 For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
God doesn't have an elect Nation in the middle east called Israel as you suggest
Only the remnant elect Jew will be saved by God's forekowledge and added to (The Church), "National Israel Is Blinded"
You act as if the scripture below doesn't exist "Why"?
"Israel Hath Not Obtained"
"The Election Hath Obtained" The Church
Romans 11:2-8KJV
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

On 911, the twin towers were bombed and even though only a fraction of the US population were killed, this was still an attack on the US.
A fraction of individuals in the population were killed.
The overwhelming majority of the population was not attacked.
Hundreds of millions of individuals were not attacked.

You said it was only Peter's kinsmen.
It was Christian Israelites, comprised of both Christian Jews and Christian Gentiles.
The elect.
Christians.
No I don't. Just another nonesense/junk accusation. I hear that sort of thing all the time when I disagree with certain people. All sorts of fallacies and ad hominem.
No, I understand some passages in different ways than you do, and underneath it all I have some different suppositions, such as that I still believe God keeps His promises.
And you gotta keep reading, take is all in.
And remember . . . God keeps His promises. Not like lying men.
Much love!

Explain what promises God failed to keep in the following verses:
Galatians 3
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Yes, he did. When only some are slain, it doesn't follow that he wasn't judging the nation.

That's right.
No. Peter was talking about the diaspora. He says it himself.
Of course.
