And my point is that the person whose theology you are basing your beliefs on was incorrect in their interpretation of Scripture. This was NOT foretold, the US is NOT a replacement for Israel as God’s Chosen People. Therefore, your assumption that this was foretold is off-base. The Trinity interpretation was simply used as an example to show that your source’s Scripture interpretation is flawed. The thought that God would use one people-group to bring judgment on another people-group is something that can be extrapolated from the way God worked in the Old Testament. We, our country, the US - I believe we are protected precisely because we continue to stand with Israel (although I also think we stab them in the back too often.) I believe that if our country ceases to be an ally of Israel, that protection will be removed.
Honestly, I didn’t wish to debate the Trinity - it was an example. Not that the fact that every major evangelical denomination as well as the Catholic church’s agreement on the subject means that it’s right, but it ought to make you think a little more carefully before you categorically deny that all those theologians may have a truth that your church is denying. And I don’t see how an interpretation of John 1:1-4 denies the existence of the Trinity. How can you prove something does not exist? It’s like me saying I went to the mall with my husband, when I also had my kids along. But then you saying my kids weren’t there because I didn’t mention them. Sorta silly if you ask me!
If you'll just think a minute, you'll see that todays nation if Israel isn't "House of Israel".
Try to think of this:
In the preceding chapter (Genesis 48) is the vitally important account of how the name of Israel passed upon Ephraim and Manassseh, Joseph's two sons!
But the most important verse is verse 16. Read it again!
"The angel [messenger] which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lad; and LET MY NAME BE NAMED ON THEM, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."
Which tribes, then, according to your Bible, should wear the name of Israel? Judah? No. Simeon or Levi? No.
The name of the House of ISRAEL was very clearly passed down to the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, in that order!
Ephraim was prophesied to become a company of nations, and his brother, Manasseh, a great single nation!
These two brothers were to possess the names of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, or ISRAEL!
They, uniquely among the other children of Jacob, were to have the name of "ISRAEL" upon them!
Yet millions of professing Christians remain blissfully ignorant of these vitally important scriptures which clearly identify the "lost ten tribes," or the "covenant people," prophesied to inherit the national greatness promised the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!
I hope this helps. If not, there's not much else to say.
Now you see why I don’t argue theology.
