ESSENTIALLY,

I agree
with you.

HOWEVER,

Also, ESSENTIALLY, by the time MOST of the REPLACEMENTARIAN crew hereon gets through pontificating, they have repeatedly INSISTED THAT:

1. All the promises to Israel/Blood children of Abraham Isaac and Jacob either have ALREADY been fulfilled [as idiotic as that nonsense perspective is];

2. Or by some Scripture mangling mumbo-jumbo have declared and decreed that ALMIGHTY GOD'S EVERLASTING PROMISES THAT WILL NEVER FAIL AS LONG AS THERE ARE A MOON, STARS ETC. have been abandoned and negated, forgotten by GOD ALMIGHTY because they rejected Christ and ALL such promises that by some slip of the REPLACEMENTARIANS calculations MIGHT POSSIBLY have slipped by unfulfilled will be fulfilled ONLY & EXCLUSIVELY with THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

3. That for any & all functional, prophetic, predictive purpose conceivable, ISRAEL, as blood descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have ceased to exist in any significance AT ALL to the REPLACEMENTARIANS and their Rubber Bibles.

4. That ALMIGHTY GOD NO LONGER even sees Israel as a distinct, unique, Biblical, entity of any specific, enduring significance to Him whatsoever [They have never offered any rational explanation for the 12 Patriarch's thrones along with the Disciples'].

5. That Israel as a Nation, to REPLACEMENTARIANS, is of no more significance to God, to unfulfilled prophecy, to the END TIMES, than is a dead spider in the most remote out-house in Siberia.

Therefore, the seemingly willfully blind folks--particularly most of the contingent hereon--have well earned the label: REPLACEMENTARIANS.

Since you are representing their beliefs and claims, I’ll respond specifically to your points. If you are incorrectly representing their claims, I’ll expect them to clear it up. Mind you I’m not trying to resolve a dispute. I’m just trying to understand the essence of the disagreement.

1. The verses I quoted from Hebrews state clearly that no one has yet received any of the promises that God promised to Abraham, not even Abraham. Any claim otherwise is hogwash.

2. Malachi 3:6-7 I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendents of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord Almighty.

God doesn’t change. Israel has until the end of the world to return to God and be accepted by him with open arms. After that, they’ll be destroyed with all the other unbelievers. God will never forsake his first love until he destroys the Earth by fire.

Again Hebrews makes it clear that together, children by faith and children by seed, will receive God’s promises to Abraham.

3. To be addressed fully in a subsequent post after some sleep.

4. See #2. God does not change.

5. See #3.
