Regarding “examples of gentiles living within Israel”. Once again I ask you: there are TWO ways a Gentile could be saved before the wall came down. What are they?
1. A Gentile could become a proselyte: Esther 8:17; Exodus 12:48; Isaiah 56.
OR
2. A Gentile could put himself in the place of blessing by BLESSING ISRAEL: Genesis 12:3; 1 Kings 17:10-15; Joshua 2:9-11; 2 Kings 5:15,17.
Those were the TWO doors available to Gentiles who came to recognize their gods were false and that Israel had the one true and living God.
Galatians 3:28 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.
Notice there is a caveat on that “no separation”. The nation of Israel as well as most of the world are NOT in Christ Jesus. That is what the tribulation period is all about. Those who are not yet in Christ Jesus.
Exactly right, CB. But there WAS a time when we WERE separated, BY GOD HIMSELF. THAT is what I’m trying to get roamer 1 to see, BY SCRIPTURE, it’s proven. He seems unimpressed by God’s word of truth on this matter..
FOTFLOL!!!!
Now we're up to a *couple billion* from 1.2? When did that jump occur?
;)
And of course, with the communion of the saints nonsense, they can probably even count the dead ones, since tey pray to them anyway.
I’ll betcha they’re STILL counting me, as well.
It’s become clear to me that they do not believe what the Holy Spirit says in the New Testament. They have been convinced by some sect that the New Testament is secondary to the Old and have denied words in the New Testament in order to try to fit their belief rather than read what the Holy Spirit inspired. I believe it’s time to leave them to their error.
Oh, we KNOW they are! And wondering where you’ve been the last 25 years! Looks like you’re a “no way” for sainthood, metmom. *sigh*
From what I’ve been posted on, it’s clear that they don’t believe what the OT says either. To deny that God put a wall of partition up when Abraham was called is to deny the WHOLE purpose of prophecy concerning Israel, which is the ENTIRE OT, plus Matthew Mark Luke John and the early part of Acts. What are they left with???
Well, they're late to the party. God declared me a saint 35 years ago and I don't need the RCC stamp of approval to believe it.
Well, for pete’s sake, don’t submit a recipe to any Catholic magazine. THAT’S where they get their “saint of the day”.
>> “The fall feasts are still to be fulfilled but true believers will be taken from this world before they are” <<
.
Then the feasts are a lie!
The first fall feast, Yom Teruah, is the first resurrection, at the Last Trump, at the end of the Tribulation.
I agree. Sadly. Bible study can be so much fun, nevermind making a believer go from the milk of the word to the meat of it. But it takes people actually reading, looking up, and comparing Scripture with Scripture. Otherwise it’s just an exercise in futility. Which is where I think we are now..

This is what Yehova said:
Isaiah 56:
[3] Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
And just how would that “son of the stranger” “join himself to the Lord”, editor?
we've decided to count in some of the validly baptized people who call themselves Protestant but, since they do not follow any particular denomination, are baptized Catholics....that's everyone ever validly baptized you know!!
sure you do
