The entire bloodline of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are not there.

I haven't laid out all the involved verses and considered all the nuances of that issue.

HOWEVER, in terms of REPLACEMENTARIANISM--YOUR POINT IS SILLY AND MOOT.

GOD HAS CLEARLY DECREED 12 TRIBES AS BLOOD DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB

WILL

LITERALLY INHERIT HIS LITERAL PROMISES TO ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.

That's just a Biblical fact stated clearly and plainly in many dozens of verses.

Your frothing at the fingers about 'spiritual Israel' in terms of God's promises to Blood Descendants Israel is just so much Biblical cluelessness or willful blindness, as far as I can detect or discern.

It's also rather mystifying psychologically. Why would anyone calling themselves "Christian" work so hard to call God a liar?

Your frothing at the fingers

Of all your replies, this is the first I can remember that brought a smile to my face. At least the above statement did. "Frothing at the fingers..." I like it. I've personally used: "I could keep driving home the point until I'm blue in the fingers, but..." Anyhow, I'll probably use it in the future.

It's also rather mystifying psychologically. Why would anyone calling themselves "Christian" work so hard to call God a liar?

I call myself a Christian because I have been justified by faith through the redemptive work of Christ. I have never called God a liar. I simply call your interpretation of Scripture incorrect, your theology silly, and your attempts to exegete newspapers against Scripture misguided.

I haven't laid out all the involved verses and considered all the nuances of that issue.

Until you have, and can reply intelligently without invective assaults and empty arguments, your frothing at the fingers will be ignored on this issue.
