End Times Ping
FReemail me if you wish to be added to or removed from The End Times Ping List.
Knowing that the Church of Christ has not, nor will ever, replace Israel is crucial towards any End Times Eschatological Study.
Maranatha!
God’s people are those who follow Him.
Period.
God hasn’t replaced Israel, but He *has* set aside Israel until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, at which point then “all Israel shall be saved.”
Ultimately, God’s people are all those - Jew or Gentile - who have believed on Christ in faith. The current Jewish rejection of Christ is not compatible with that. Once they believe on Him nationally at His return, they will be grafted back in and receive all the promises God has made to them.
God’s people are those who follow Him.
Period.
Thus Christians should have no special care for Israel then, right?
Thus spake Pope Terry James.
I guess "private interpretation of Scripture" isn't part of his organization's teachings and beliefs.
Do you believe Jews must accept Christ to make it to Heaven?
I was just arguing this very point with a friend. He believes that the new Jews are NOT the same as the Old Testament Jews and are therefore no longer God’s people.
I disagreed 100% and assured him that the today’s State of Israel in God’s eyes is the same one as when He drew up the Old Covenant with Moses, Abraham and Isaac.
God does not renege on His promises, EVER!
Correct. I see dogma like Replacement Theology or Christian Zionism as useless arguments meant to complicate Christian Unity.
Are you a disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you follow his commandments?
That’s all you need to do.
That is true, although, Jews are returning to YESHUA every day, PTL! Israel is GOD the Father’s wife, and he put her aside for infidelity and rebellion, but he is now drawing her back to himself. The Covenant with Israel stands.
Although he did not address the book of Revelation, there is the passage about the 144,000 Jews sealed during the Great Tribulation, 12,000 from each tribe.
If anyone thinks God has broken his promise and has abandoned His people, which vine do they think they are grafted onto? If they reject that instead, don’t they just wither?
See post 10.
Both points can be argued, what is true though is that MANY Jews are coming to believe in Yahshua as their messiah and Lord.
MANY more than the benchmark 144,000 from all the tribes have accepted Him as their Christ.
Another sign of the Last Days.
The Church is the Bride of Christ. So if the Church loves it’s coming Jewish Bridegroom, it should love his people as well.
You start off 180 degrees in the wrong direction whenever it comes to Christian Doctrine.
Terry James ain’t a ‘poop’.
Go bow before Francis.
👍
True!
The Catholic Church has firmly rejected “Replacement Theology.”
This was an outcome of intense discussions during Vatican II and was promulgated in the famous document “Nostra Aetate” by Pope Paul VI in 1965.
As an aside, this is one problem with the “trad” movement. This pope despises all things traditional, but nothing can be proven wrong with the Tridentine Mass. More to the point is the trad rejection of Vatican II, which could include Nostra, and thus lead to theological confusion and anti-semitism among “trad Catholics.”
” He who is a true Jew is one who’s Curcimsisom has been made inwardly, in the Heart.
100%
Satan loves to make God out to be a liar, and anybody who claims The Lord reneges on His promises is clearly in the wrong.
And I might add, if God can renege on His Promises To Israel, well how might that work out for you oh “Christian”?
No way!
