again, your last post makes no sense. you don’t realize the Church is the Body of Christ and all those that are saved must be in that Body or they are not saved. The reason is that Body has already suffered, died and rose again. If you aren’t in that Body, you are still an enemy of God and will suffer eternal punishment. For a Jew to be at peace with God, they must believe on Jesus and be baptized for the remission of their sins, then they will be part of the true Israel of God. This applies to all Gentiles as well. your statement that those who accept Christ during the Tribulation will be believers but will not be part of the Church is so unbiblical to be laughable. again, spiritual blindness to what the Church is. ( hint: it’s not like the Rotary Club )

This just reveals your lack of understanding about God's plan for the end of this Age. The Church Age ends with the Rapture. The Church Age began at Pentecost and ends at the Rapture. This requires a belief that all of the Scripture is the inspired word of God and that every single word is absolute truth and inerrant. If you don't believe that, if you feel there is quite a bit of Scripture which man has the wisdom and omniscience to deny, then you're not going to understand what God is talking about when He says that "all Israel will be saved."

The reason is that Body has already suffered, died and rose again.

Well, actually Jesus Christ suffered, died and rose again for the salvation of the world. I, as a member of the Church, did not do these things. I give all the credit for suffering, dying, and rising again to Jesus Christ and no one else. I am the beneficiary of what He did, but I had nothing to do with it.

If you aren’t in that Body, you are still an enemy of God and will suffer eternal punishment.

That is true for this present Age. The Church Age is coming to a close and there will be people saved after the Church Age has ended but they will not be part of the Church. It's all in Scripture.

For a Jew to be at peace with God, they must believe on Jesus and be baptized for the remission of their sins, then they will be part of the true Israel of God.

No, they will be part of the Church. Israel is a separate entity from the Church and has a different destiny than the Church.

This applies to all Gentiles as well. your statement that those who accept Christ during the Tribulation will be believers but will not be part of the Church is so unbiblical to be laughable. again, spiritual blindness to what the Church is. ( hint: it’s not like the Rotary Club )

Well I'm not surprised that you find that laughable since it is part of Scripture. I'm not going into a Bible study right now since I have to work tomorrow, but the Scripture states that the Church will be removed at the Rapture and while it will be possible to be saved during the Tribulation, those who get saved during the Tribulation will not be part of the Church.

I guess you can throw that on your pile of Scripture that you have denied and discarded. I, on the other hand, will believe everything that God has said even if it doesn't always make sense to my fallen, limited, finite mind.

Good night.
