There will be many, many, ethnic Jews in heaven. There were many Israelites who were promised eternal life before Christ. The same promise during this period of grace is given to them as well and the Gentiles. The during the last seven years there will be ethnic Jews who accept Christ who will be saved out of the tribulation to rule with Christ for 1000 years. No replacement theology. The church did not replace the Jews.
In Jn 14;16 Jesus promises to send the Advocate who has guided Christianity for 2000 years. Without a Spirit guided Magisterium there would be no Church for Christianity would have disappeared shortly after the Ascension
I constantly deal with probative evidence and can see the sheer brilliance in Jesus slowly guiding the formation of a Church possessing a Magisterium not tens of thousands of discrete churches each interpreting scripture in its own manner.
In Jn 17:21 He prayed for unity.
Do you think this board reflects the unity Jesus prayed for in that verse
How can so many divisions reflect the essence of His prayer?
After over 2500 posts on this thread what has been accomplished? Certainly not the Will of the Lord whose prayer in Jn 17:21 is thwarted by the pride of those who must have their own interpretation. I wonder why this is so. Could Satan have entered their hearts?
For starters, the thief on the cross next to Jesus who was promised paradise was most likely Jewish.
Even if not,there is much to explore here. I am confused about the tribulation/rule with Christ/?
The second coming will be definitive - (It will include the Jews who convert - perhaps at the last minute?)
