This will be a sign for you:

You need to read the New Testament, Jack. You come across as if your religion is Judaism.

Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.

I concur completely. He's far more Jew than Christian; shouldn't even be on this forum.

 

[Jack]

It's only a topic when placed in a separate topical thread.

So you deny the Trinity?

Maybe staff will tell us if Trinity is allowed here.

 

[covenantee]

No.

So what distinguishes the Jews who will be saved from those who will not?

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

I have. And I can't find "Spiritual Israelite" anywhere.

Is the Israel of God which consists of those who have been made new creations in Christ spiritual or earthly in nature?

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? Do you not believe in one God who exists in the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

Nah, I don't sacrifice animals for my sins. Jesus' Blood takes care of that!

Are you a Jew? Gentile? Don't know?

Israel wannabees are not Israel. It's simple.

It appears that he does. What else would explain his reluctance in discussing it? We are exposing a wolf in sheep's clothing here. One who denies the truth taught throughout the New Testament.

Both. So are you. So is everyone. Post 159.

Irrelevant to God, whose sole and exclusive Covenant criteria are faith and obedience.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Israel wannabees are not Israel. It's simple.

Paul refers to those who have been made new creations in Christ, both Jew and Gentile, as "the Israel of God".

Is Galatians 6:15-16 in your Bible, Jack? Do you even own a New Testament?

Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.

Romans 3:1-2
1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Much in every way!

Why aren't you wannabees in Israel where Jesus will return???

Romans 3:1-2

So you believe that a Jew has the same advantages as a Christian?

Antichrist wannabe antichrist.

We're not antichrist.

Are you?

If you don't believe Jesus why would I think you believe me?

What do you think that means exactly and how do you interpret this passage:

Galatians 6:15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule—to the Israel of God.

Obviously, Paul would not contradict himself, so these two passages clearly have different contexts. The context of Romans 3:1-2 is the fact that Israel had the advantage of having a relationship with God before Christ came and they had the opportunity to commune with God before that while the Gentiles didn't. That is all Romans 3:1-2 means. What it doesn't mean is that being a Jew has anything to do with someone's salvation. No. In that sense "neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything". There is neither Jew nor Gentile in the church (Galatians 3:26-29).

 

[Jack]

Antichrist wannabe antichrist.

We're not antichrist.

Are you?

Only time anyone hears about the wannabees is when they TOOT their own horns. Israel in the Land of the Bible is in the news nearly every day. Nobody seems to know who you are.

C'mon right out and tell us:

Did/does Jesus believe that a Jew has the same advantages as a Christian?

Why won't you answer simple questions? Your avoidance of giving your understanding of Galatians 6:15-16 and your avoidance of discussing the trinity suggests that your religion is Judaism.

If that's not true, then prove me wrong by addressing our questions. How do you interpret Galatians 6:15-16? Do you believe that Jesus is God?
