Interesting.

You state in your earlier post that “God did not divorce or replace this remnant, but lavished incredible additional blessings upon faithful Israel.” yet by stating this, you admit that you believe God divorced the unfaithful portion of Israel.

By saying this, you make God out to be a liar, as it was Christ Himself that said that it was only because of the hardness of mankind’s heart that Moses allowed for divorce. Divorce is not a creation that God has ordained, it is against His natural order of things and to say that God, in His longsuffering patience, would actually stoop to such a human evil as divorce proves that your theory, despite it’s high minded ideals and great schools of thought, is wrong from the outset. What is that verse again, you know, the one we base our own wedding vows upon? “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matt 19:6)

Your focus on God’s divorce of those who left Him betrays your own misunderstanding of God’s love and, more importantly, God’s knowledge of the future. For God to divorce Israel and to marry the Church, He would not only have to be a liar, because of the verses that state divorce is not designed by God but is a response by Moses to the evil hearts of mankind(Matt 19:7-9, Mark 10:4-9), but also not able to even conduct Himself above the emotional range of a mere mortal by seeking out a divorce as if He were a man and given to evil thoughts. Furthermore, for God to divorce Israel and marry the Church, you would have God acting as some kind of monster or worse since He would know about the marriage supper of the Lamb. After all, the Church is the bride of the Lamb, not the bride of the Father.

You’ve got some pretty twisted Theology, would you like to try it again?

Faithless "Israel" != real Israel.
