The Four Stages of Mankind's Redemption:

[Ronald Nolette]

What in the world are you even talking about? Are you trying to deny what Galatians 3 verses 16 and 29 say?

No, just your interpretation of it.

As for Jacob and Isaac...have you never read this...

So are you saying God has revoked the eternal promises He made to the nation of Israel?

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

No, just your interpretation of it.

How do you interpret them Galatians 3:16 and Galatians 3:29 exactly?

So are you saying God has revoked the eternal promises He made to the nation of Israel?

Of course not. Why do people on here ask other Christians if they think God doesn't keep His promises? It's an absolutely ridiculous thing to ask of other Christians. We all believe He keeps His promises, but we just don't have the same understanding of His promises and who His promises are made to sometimes. In my view, the way that God keeps His eternal promises made to Israel is by way of having His Son die for their sins while giving them all the opportunity for eternal life. What more can He do to keep His promises than that?

God will keep His Promises to the true Israelites, who are His faithful people. Soon to become a proper country, In the new nation of Beulah -Isaiah 62:1-5 But for now - still scattered around the world.

He will also keep what His Prophets said about the House of Judah, and only a remnant of the Jews will survive.

Well why don't you read the specific promises He made to Israel that concern far more than just their redemption. And you are implying that you have better understanding of how God keeps His promises than most others.

As for Gal. 3:16- I do not interpret it but accept it as written. It is not hard to understand.

Same with Gal. 3:29. Go read Gods promise to Abraham and you will see. His promise to Abraham is different than His promises to the nation of Israel.

So you go in and out of literal interpretation about Israel when it suits your own theories.

And sorry but Beulah is merely a description of Israel. If you had bothered to use rules of hermeneutics and basic grammar, you would see that Beulah is a description for the promised land and not a new nation.

Isaiah 62:4
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

He is talking to ethnic Israel and describing the land beulah which means beuatiful.

No, I'm saying that about Paul and I agree with Paul.

As for Gal. 3:16- I do not interpret it but accept it as written. It is not hard to understand.

LOL. So, why do you apply the promises to Abraham and his seed to anyone but Christ and those who belong to Christ? Do you think Paul didn't know what he was talking about? Do you think maybe Paul had a better understanding of the Old Testament prophecies than we do?

Same with Gal. 3:29. Go read Gods promise to Abraham and you will see. His promise to Abraham is different than His promises to the nation of Israel.

What promises are you talking about then? Is it too much trouble for you to be specific about anything?

 

[Ronald Nolette]

No, I'm saying that about Paul and I agree with Paul.

WEll you don't for Paul says ALL Israel in the future will be saved! Maybe you should read romans 9-11 more carefully.

Cuz there were more than one promise made to Abraham. One is the Land of Israel which was confirmed to Isaac , then Jacob . It was an eternal promise- the land of Israel belongs to ethnic Israel and the saved of Israel before and after teh church will inherit that land.

You clearly need to read it more carefully because you have the wrong Israel in mind. It's the Israel of which not all of the nation of Israel is part (Romans 9:6-8) that is saved and will be saved!

Do you have the same understanding that Abraham had when he realized that he was a stranger on this earth and he then looked forward to a heavenly country instead?

Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she[a] considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. 13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

It is all Jews in the all Israel that will be saved. it is the 1/3 who survive the tribulation. Zech13, Ez. 20 and Romans 11.

And if you kept your verse in context, you would know Paul was reffering to Ishmael and Esau and not the child of promise- Isaac!

And God still made promises to the nation of Israel for a land- it will be theirs in the Millenninal kingdom here on earth.

Gentiles will have to send a representative to Jerusalem annually and offer sacrifices or their nation will suffer drought! Gentiles will observe the feast of tabernacles. Ultimately , after the Millennial kingdom on earth ends, we all live in the new Jerusalem which comes down to earth after the great white throne judgment.

You're not even reading the passage carefully at all. He is contrasting natural descendants of Abraham with spiritual descendants of Abraham and saying that not all natural descendants of Abraham are spiritual descendants of Abraham.

Do you not know that all believers are children of the promise like Abraham and Isaac?

Galatians 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Galatians 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

Compare those to this...

Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

And God still made promises to the nation of Israel for a land- it will be theirs in the Millenninal kingdom here on earth.

Do you think Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were mistaken when they said they were strangers on the earth and started looking for a heavenly country and city instead? Why do you just completely ignore scripture like Hebrews 11:8-16?

Gentiles will have to send a representative to Jerusalem annually and offer sacrifices or their nation will suffer drought!

LOL. Total nonsense not taught in scripture anywhere.

Gentiles will observe the feast of tabernacles.

This is horrific blasphemy! Animal sacrifices were done for the purpose of foreshadowing Christ's "once for all" sacrifice which made animal sacrifices obsolete forever! Reinstating animal sacrifices would be a serious offense to His "once for all" work on the cross!

Hebrews 8
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

More than once upon a time there was a father who, in his will, bequeathed his son 100 ounces of silver. He told his son of the bequest. Some time later, the father decided to update his will, and without telling his son, changed the bequest from 100 ounces of silver to 100 ounces of gold. Silver was valued at $30/ounce, and gold at $2000/ounce. Eventually, the father passed away, and the time for the reading of the will ensued. The bequest to the son of his 100 ounces of gold was read, whereupon he arose in fury, and accused his father of lying and not keeping his promise. He straightway marched down to the local coin shop and demanded that his gold be exchanged for silver. The shopkeeper eagerly granted his demand.

Christ bequeaths 100 ounces of gold.

Dispensationalism demands 100 ounces of silver.

Undoubtedly you can relate.

LOL. That is a great analogy which sums up dispensationalism really well.
