>>these passages are not talking about corporate Israel, they are referring to the elect, the Body of Christ.<<

Oh good grief.

“that the Lord your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you.”<<

That’s talking about the body of Christ? Are you kidding?

“Then the Lord your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it”

What land did the “church” possess and why will God have to bring them back?

You’re so far off it’s almost a waste of time discussing this with you.

To: CynicalBear

our father Adam possessed paradise before he sinned.

all humans ( except Jesus ) were subject to this sin and therefore were in captivity of sin and death.

Jesus came to set the captives free.

why do you think this refers to Jews coming back to Israel? what difference does it make if a Jew is living in New York, Jerusalem or Paris? where are Jews in “captivity” today?

the Bible is a spiritual book concerned with telling the story of the love God has for His chosen people, and His sending His Son into the world to save these people from their sins. i suggest you are making the same mistake the Jews in Jesus’s day made, remember Jesus kingdom is not of this world.
