You are simply not listening, or addressing what I'm saying.
A common thread with those who follow replacement theology - throwing stones from a glass house. Of course it's pride and hypocrisy - unless you can tell me that you have never been disobedient to God ?
I'll just leave this one here to ponder - if the Church is Israel, why would the Church need to be saved ? Romans 11:26
25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26
And so all Israel will be saved
"all Israel will be saved" - don't confuse their punishment with their complete eradication. It's actually (in revelation) God's plan to destroy those nations that seek to destroy Israel !
I addressed what you said brother, you simply don't see it that way.
Of course I've sinned brother, that doesn't change what the word of God says.
Only a remnant of the Natural branches are saved, and they will be apart of the whole of Israel.
Romans 11 kjv
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in:
for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Only a remnant of the people will be saved who have the blood of Abraham. It will be at the end after they have already been destroyed as a nation, and after all the nations that took it are then driven out when Christ stand spiritually on the Mt of Olives to divide it. The remnant of the people of Abraham's blood will be saved. The Natural branches are not grafted back into the root until they accept Christ and turn from sin.
Also remember that the Slaughter of Ez 9 will start in the Lord's Church to purge it of all those who did not sight and weep for the Abominations done in the Midst. So it is not just the Natural branches that were cut out that are being punished during the end times but also the branches that were grafted in but did not heed the word of God.
