So John 3:16 does not apply to everyone?
Of course it does . . .
IN GOD’S WAYS IN GODS’ TIME vis a vis the children of Jacob.
So does
HE THAT [EARNESTLY WHOLEHEARTEDLY] SEEKS ME SHALL FIND ME.
What are the parameters on that, oh wise one?
One author . . . might be Joel Rosenberg . . . believes the percentage of Messianic Jews in Israel at this moment are approaching the percentage of the children of Israel who had not bowed the knee to Baal when the prophet was wailing about being the only one worshipping God.
Then there’s the whole issue of the 144,000 with 12,000 from every tribe sold out to their Messiah and doing great exploits for Him in the END TIMES.
John 3:16 applies to everyone but that doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that the Church and Israel are two separate entities and are dealt with differently by God.
