REALLY?
I sure do NOT read it that way!!
Galatians 3:28-29 KJV
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
For some silly reason, I do NOT think Abraham was ISRAEL.
God gives the name Israel to Abraham’s grandson Jacob after he spends a night wrestling with God (Genesis 32:28). Later, Israel is the name given to Jacob’s offspring and to the nation that they eventually form. |
Is “Israel” from the seed of Abraham?
The answer is yes, Elsie.
Oh, and maybe I missed your post, but did you address those three texts that CLEARLY state that Grace covers PAST SINS only? If not, I’ll be looking for the ping. Thanks again.

It probably goes back to the way you feel about/treat God’s law. Same with all OSAS/OJAJ. It is an open revolt on the law of God.
You refuse to acknowledge the NEW COVENANT, and especially the fact that it’s based on God’s 10 commandment law, the same law as in the Old Covenant.
Elsie, it’s RATIFIED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. I don’t know why it’s so hard to understand. Oh, I know, it’s that law thing that you have a problem with, right? Right.
No NEW COVENANT, no BOL, no heaven.
And, in your church, does you pastor preach “faith (believing) without works is dead”? I don’t think so. You keep telling me that one can simply believe their way into heaven, WITHOUT works. That is unfortunate.
