If you doubt my sincerity, feel free to ask any of the usual suspects on the board, on either side. They'll all vouch as to that.

The more I considered your points, the more I think you are right. I will still say that I do not think you can equate ethnic Israel with Spiritual Israel (Romans 9 makes that abundantly clear), and many of the promises are fulfilled in the person of Christ.

In that post, I didn't have sincerity in mind. Just the way you appeared to brush by some substantive considerations with a cliched response.

Some of these are points of non-dispute, I think. I know of no one who doesn't acknowledge that "the elect remnant" is a subset of physical Israel. But that is a far shot from saying, "Therefore, all the 'cursing' prophecies are literal and for the nation of Israel, and all the 'blessing' prophecies are spiritual and for the church," as amills must — if they even allow themselves to come THAT close to the actual details (i.e. words — hello, plenary VERBAL inspiration) of prophecies.
