No, I did not assume anything. I only posted scripture that shows that Gods' true Israel is the body of Christ (the Church) in
post # 699. What was it in the scriptures provided that you did not believe?
But there is nothing in those scripture that stated that the Body of Christ is true Israel.
Its because you already begin with that axiom, and thus you interpret them as such.
If you disagree, just state 1 or 2 out of that list, and explain clearly how they say
the Body of Christ is true Israel
Here is my argument and the scripture I used
True Israel/Israel of God (Galatians 6:16) refers to the little flock out of the nation Israel that believe, those that are pastored by James the brother of Jesus, at the end of Acts.
They continue to stay zealous to the Law of Moses, even after they believed in Christ as their Messiah (Acts 21:18-25, James 2:24-26).
The rest of the nation Israel has fallen in disbelief (Acts 7:51, Romans 11:1-5)
As a result of the fall of the nation of Israel,
salvation without the Law of Moses (Romans 4:5), is now open to everyone, Jew and gentiles, thru Paul's gospel of grace (Romans 11:11).
All Jews and gentiles who thus believe in Paul's gospel, found in 1 Cor 15:1-4, are now in the Body of Christ, where there is neither Jew nor gentile.
But the Body of Christ is not the same as the little flock. They are 2 separate groups of believers.
