To the trenches my friend .Over there
Your Bible is the Holy Book.My bible is the narrow gate?
Hitler was just as Talmud Jew !
Taken,
Your premise of Israel salvation is correct, but your timing of postponement into our future the recovery from their blindness is incorrectly misunderstanding the scriptures you posted to do that postponement.
Peter clear told us when all the house of Israel could be saved, and that open-door began for them in the 1st century, and has continued throughout every generation.
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and they said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.”
Acts 2:36-40
No postponement….
Complete salvation by Jesus’ blood for all the house of Israel and their children from that generation of Pentecost onward!!!
Question: What then is the "narrow gate"Your Bible is the Holy Book.
Jesus , Emmanuel, is The Word of God.
You are 100% accurate concerning the Gospel = "Jew first and also to the Gentile"Absolutely — and I actually agree with what you just said more than you might realize.
Peter did declare the open door to salvation for “all the house of Israel” in Acts 2. And that door was through Christ, not through Zionist politics or a future military state.
That’s the whole point: there was no postponement.
Salvation came to Israel right then — on Pentecost — and it’s been open to all ever since, to the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
So if that's true (and it is), then why do so many Christians today act like God is still holding something back for ethnic Israel to be fulfilled at some future date?
That’s the exact false framework of Dispensationalism — pretending that Jesus didn’t already fulfill the covenants and that modern Israel still has a separate “destiny” apart from Him.
Peter wasn't pointing them to a future nation-state. He was pointing them to the cross — and saying “Repent, be baptized, and you will receive the promise.”
Not “someday.” Not “after WWIII.” Not “once the third temple is rebuilt.”
Now. Through Christ. Through His blood. Through the New Covenant.
So again — if anyone is preaching that modern Israel is the key to prophecy, or that the Jewish people will be saved outside of Christ at some future date... They’re not preaching the Gospel. They’re preaching Scofield.
You said it yourself: no postponement.
So let’s stop treating a secular state founded in 1948 as if it’s the ark of God’s covenant. The real ark was already broken open 2,000 years ago — at the cross.
@marks = SEE Galatians ch3This reply wasn't for me, so forgive me for butting in...
I don't see that God changed His mind at all. In Genesis, when God made His covenant with Abraham, He promised to give Abraham both a natural son AND to make him a "Father of Nations." That word "nations" is usually translated as Gentiles.
Salvation was always intended for Abraham's sons, both the natural and the adopted.
It has been highjacked by the Baptists/Dispensationalists/Pentecostals/USA christianity and most denominationsNo — your Bible is not the narrow gate.
Jesus Christ is.
Not your footnotes. Not your timelines. Not your Scofield Study Bible held together with tape and denial.
If you think the “narrow path” is paved with prophecy charts, Israel flags, red heifer updates, and WWIII enthusiasm, then you’re not following Jesus — you’re following a death cult with a cross necklace.
The body of Christ has been hijacked.
Hijacked by a theology that replaced the Gospel with a doomsday countdown, replaced Jesus with a flag, and replaced the Church with a future ethnic remnant that supposedly inherits everything without even believing in the Son of God.
This isn’t Christianity.
It’s end-times Zionist cosplay.
It’s a golden calf made out of political ideology and Dispensationalist fiction.
And the worst part? You’re calling it "holy".
They cheer for global collapse like it’s obedience.
They call for world war like it’s prophecy.
And they preach a return of Christ that depends on death, destruction, and temple construction — instead of the cross.
That’s not the narrow gate. That’s the wide road — the one Jesus said leads to destruction.
He’s already reigning.
The Kingdom is now.
And the only thing being “postponed” is your repentance — because you’re too busy worshipping at the altar of Scofield to recognize the King you claim to serve.
Burn the charts.
Tear down the idols.
Open your Bible without the filter.
And walk through the gate before it’s too late.
You are 100% accurate concerning the Gospel = "Jew first and also to the Gentile"
You are only 66.6% accurate concerning the Jews = according to Scripture
FYI - i am NOT a Dispensationalist and they do not like me for i expose their heresies
Now meditate on the Truth that you correctly stated:
#1 - JESUS is the Open Door for all who come to HIM
#2 - JESUS/Salvation came to the Jews the moment the WORD became flesh inside Mary(Jew)
#3 - JESUS/Salvation will RETURN to Israel and RESCUE the Jews who are appointed for SALVATION
I appreciate the tone and the honesty — but what you’re describing in #3 is still a postponed fulfillment narrative, even if you’re not calling it Dispensationalism.
Saying “Jesus will return to rescue the Jews appointed for salvation” implies two dangerous things:
1. That salvation is still owed to some ethnic remnant in a special way.
2. That Christ’s finished work wasn’t the complete fulfillment of God’s promises.
But that’s not what Scripture teaches.
Jesus isn’t returning to “resume” something for Israel.
He’s returning to judge the nations and gather His people — all those in Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, who entered through the narrow gate of His blood.
Paul didn’t say, “To the Jew first… and then later again.”
He said “To the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.” Past tense initiated. Ongoing invitation. One Gospel. One body. One covenant.
If Christ is the fulfillment of the covenants — and He is — then there’s nothing left for Israel outside of Him.
So again, I ask:
If salvation already came in Christ, and Peter already invited “all the house of Israel” in…
Then what exactly are you waiting for?
This is Scripturrally inaccurate.Saying “Jesus will return to rescue the Jews appointed for salvation” implies two dangerous things:
1. That salvation is still owed to some ethnic remnant in a special way.
2. That Christ’s finished work wasn’t the complete fulfillment of God’s promises.
The reason why such people are all wound up with demanding the 2ed coming is truly because they are not born again ! for they are looking for Salvation, because they do not have it !You could literally quote Jesus, Paul, Hebrews, Galatians, and Romans word-for-word, and the second it threatens their Scofield-fueled fantasy world? BOOM — they slam the “REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY!!!” alarm like it’s the Rapture fire drill they’ve been practicing since 1972.
It’s not an argument. It’s a panic reflex.
What it really means is:
“You just quoted the Bible in context and I don’t know how to respond without my Scofield footnotes, so I’m going to scream ‘HERESY!’ and hope you go away.”
Most of them don’t really know the Gospel — they know charts, buzzwords, and fear-based fiction.
And the irony? These people are the real "replacers".
They’ve replaced Jesus with a modern political state that rejects His resurrection and mocks His name.
They’ve replaced the Gospel with a rapture countdown.
They’ve replaced the Church with a future ethnic remnant — despite everything Paul and Hebrews clearly teach.
And the moment you say -- “All the promises are fulfilled in Christ,” they act like you just punched their golden calf and set fire to their prophecy charts.
They scream about “Replacement Theology” the way a vampire screams at sunlight.
Not because it’s false — but because it exposes the lie, and deep down, they know it.
Dispensationalism is exactly why millions of bright, thinking young adults walk away from the Church.
They open the Bible.
They read the words of Jesus — “love your enemies,” “the Kingdom is here,” “blessed are the peacemakers.”
They see grace, truth, beauty, and freedom.
And then from the pulpit they get hit with:
“Actually, Jesus can’t return until we help start World War III, rebuild a third temple, and make sure billions of people die in a nuclear firestorm — and then, finally, Jesus might land on the Mount of Olives in a golden F-16 and pass out altar calls to whoever survived, even though Revelation says He’s already reigning; and Hebrews says the covenant is already fulfilled' but shhhh, just go with it.”
So how can you blame them? What’s being preached from far too many pulpits doesn’t resemble the New Testament in any way, shape, or form.
To these kids — the ones who actually read their Bibles — the whole thing?
It doesn’t sound like the Gospel.
It sounds like a doomsday cult that hijacked Christianity and wrapped it in prophecy charts. (Which is exactly what it is.)
This wasn’t handed down by the apostles.
It wasn’t taught by Christ.
It was cooked up 1,800 years after the resurrection — by John Nelson Darby, a separatist mystic whose doctrines read like he wrote a fanfiction prequel to Revelation while ignoring Paul, deleting Hebrews, and pretending Christ hadn’t already fulfilled the covenants.
Not one word of it is rooted in the Gospel.
It’s not truth. It’s a plague on the Gospel — and it’s time the Church cast it out like leprosy.
The reason why such people are all wound up with demanding the 2ed coming is truly because they are not born again ! for they are looking for Salvation, because they do not have it !
They Idolise so called Jews !

This is Scripturrally inaccurate.
Do you believe the words of the LORD Jesus Christ?
Let's SEE if you TRULY believe the words of CHRISTAbsolutely I believe the words of the Lord Jesus Christ.
That’s why I reject the idea that salvation for Israel is still “on pause.”
Let’s go straight to Jesus’ own words, since you asked:
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” — Matthew 5:17
“It is finished.” — John 19:30
“The Kingdom of God is at hand.” — Mark 1:15
“My Kingdom is not of this world.” — John 18:36
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” — John 14:6
Jesus didn’t say, “I’ll come back later and finish saving Israel differently.”
He said the door is open now — and the only way in is through Him.
Paul didn’t preach a second plan.
Hebrews didn’t leave room for a delayed fulfillment.
Peter didn’t say, “Later, guys — we’ll circle back to Israel in 2,000 years.”
So if you’re still waiting for some national ethnic rescue plan —
You’re not believing Jesus.
You’re believing John Nelson Darby’s 19th-century Irish fantasy —
Propped up by Scofield’s footnotes
And wrapped in political idolatry.
That’s not faith.
That’s fiction.
And it’s leading people away from the very Christ they claim to serve.
So yes — I believe the words of Jesus.
Enough to call out the counterfeit gospels that try to replace Him.
No, not "Be where?"Be where??
That isn't the point. Judas is not mentioned in the prophecy of betraying Jesus. What Old Testament prophecy specifically states "And a man name Judas will betray the Messiah for 30 pieces of gold"?Judas is literally the only person the Bible outright tells us was damned. John 17:
Jesus often used contrasts or opposites in his illustrations….and the one in Matt 7:13-14 is a good example.
There are two alternative paths presented to mankind…one leads to everlasting life, and the other to everlasting death. (destruction)
One road is easy, and the other is difficult to travel. Both have a gate….one is wide…the other is narrow.
Now we have a mental picture of what Jesus was teaching. We all have the same choices…..we choose the path that appeals to us. Given that choice, who would take the difficult road if there was an easy way to arrive at the same destination?….right?
That is the pivotal question…..because those traveling the easy road have been convinced that it doesn’t lead to death at all….the devil has posted a sign on the wide gate, saying in effect…. “enter here…this is the road to life”.…sniggering all the while because he knows how to manipulate the thinking of the human race, so flawed now, that he knows they will easily fall for his lies.
This is called “perception management” and it is used by governments and large corporations all over the world to manipulate the thinking of their target audience…..promoting their own agenda or products whilst at the same time denigrating their competitors. There are no new tricks….these are time tested.
For each individual, a choice will be made at some point in their lives to either alter their course, or stay with the comfortable status quo. We saw this clearly with the Jews of the first century…..they had a choice to enter the narrow gate and change course entirely by following Jesus Christ, or to stay on the path that they entered at birth, as a nation dedicated to their God Yahweh. Who did they believe? Who misled them?
