Apparently, none of the Bibles at Dallas Theological Seminary contain Hebrews 8:6-13, or Hebrews 12:22-24, or 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, or the following...


1Ti_1:4  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.



Tit_3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

.


It would seem the ego trips you take that continually get deflated would would awaken you as to how useless the denigration of others you keep doing about others really is> Tae note of the following that refutes you:

What is the purpose of the thousand-year reign of Christ?

The Millennium (also known as the Millennial Kingdom) is the 1,000-year reign of Jesus after the Tribulation and before all the people of the world are sent to either heaven or hell. Jesus will reign as king over Israel as well as all the nations of the world (Isaiah 2:4; 42:1). The world will live in peace (Isaiah 11:6–9; 32:18), Satan will be bound (Revelation 20:1–3), and, at the beginning, everyone will worship God (Isaiah 2:2–3). The purpose of the 1,000-year reign is to fulfill promises God made to the world that cannot be fulfilled while Satan is free and humans have political authority. Some of these promises, called covenants, were given specifically to Israel. Others were given to Jesus, the nations of the world, and creation. All of these will be fulfilled during Jesus’ 1,000-year reign.

The Palestinian Covenant, also called the Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30:1-10)
God has already fulfilled the personal aspects of the Abrahamic Covenant; Abraham did go to the Promised Land, he did have many descendants, and he is the forefather of many nations. Several hundred years after Abraham, Joshua led the Israelites to claim ownership of the Promised Land. But Israel has never possessed the specific boundaries that God promised in Genesis 15:18–20 and Numbers 34:1-12. Not even Solomon ruled over this particular area (1 Kings 4:21–24). Although he did reign from the River of Egypt to the Euphrates, he did not hold the area from Mount Hor to Hazarenan (Numbers 34:7–9)—into present-day Lebanon and Syria. In addition, the covenant God made with Abraham was that he and his descendants would have the land for eternity (Genesis 13:15; 17:8; Ezekiel 16:60). The current Israeli state may be a step in this direction, but they still do not possess the boundaries God laid out.

The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7)
God’s covenant with David was that his line would never die out and that David’s heir would sit on the throne of Israel forever (2 Samuel 7:16). Biblical scholars agree that Jesus is the fulfillment of this covenant—one of the reasons His genealogy is given for both His step-father (Matthew 1:1–17) and His mother (Luke 3:23–38). The Jews understood this when they laid down palm branches and their cloaks as Jesus rode into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1–17). They expected Him to be a military/political leader that would liberate them from the Romans and make Israel a great nation again. But they didn’t understand the nature of Jesus’ work at the time was for the New Covenant, not the Davidic Covenant. The 1,000-year reign will be the beginning of Jesus’ eternal reign over Israel and the earth (Revelation 20:4, 6).

The New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
The work of the New Covenant—Jesus’ death and resurrection to reconcile hearts to God—has been accomplished. But we have not yet seen the complete fulfillment. Jeremiah 31:33 says, “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” Ezekiel 36:28 gives more specifics: “You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.” Isaiah 59:20–21 explains that this covenant is possible because of the Redeemer, and the reconciliation He provides will last forever. This covenant does not mean that every Jew will be saved. But it does mean that Israel as a nation will worship their Messiah. The Old Testament prophets who spoke of this covenant, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, and Ezekiel, all wrote that it will be fulfilled in the future. From their time on, Israel has yet to be an independent nation that worshiped its Messiah (Romans 9—11). They will be in the 1,000-year reign of Christ.

Other Promises
Those are the covenants God made with Israel that are to be fulfilled in Jesus’ 1,000-year reign, but the Bible lists other promises that will be fulfilled, too. God promised Jesus He will make His enemies a footstool, and that Jesus’ followers will worship Him freely (Psalm 100). God promised the nations of the world that they would live in peace with Jesus as their ruler (Daniel 7:11–14). And He promised creation that the curse would be lifted (Romans 8:18–23), animals and the earth would be restored to peace and prosperity (Isaiah 11:6–9; 32:13–15), and people would be freed from disease (Ezekiel 34:16). These, too, will be fulfilled during the 1,000-year reign.

The main purpose of Jesus’ 1,000-year reign is to fulfill the prophecies given to Israel and the promises made to Jesus, the nations, and the whole earth. God’s covenants were voluntary and one-sided. He promised He would bless Israel and restore the world in specific ways, and He will.

Maybe you would be better off if you used a Bible that does not have Hebrews 8:6-13 removed, since it contains the exact text from Jeremiah 31:31-34, fulfilled during the first century by Christ.

Try to find a Bible not used at Dallas Theological Seminary, since professors from that institution also seem to have removed the same passage from their Bibles.

Indeed Jer.31:31-34 was fulfilled and accepted by every person who ever believed in Jesus Christ. In which all of them belong to the one body of Christ, His Church.

Meanwhile, the nation of Israel has to this day rejected the tebbets of the New Covenant, by rejecting Jesus as their Messiah, They will remain that way until the second coming of Jesus, as recorded in Zech.12:19 and 14:4-5.

All the excuses for your interpretations are nothing but that. excuses. the fact remains, that your doctrine makes God out to be a liar.
Ah yes, when all else fails, trot out the "makes God a liar" accusation.

What makes God a liar are the incessant attempts to deny His Son His inheritance under the New Will and Testament in His Blood, and replace it with the weak and beggarly elements (Gal. 4:9) of an old, decayed, vanished (Heb. 8:13) caricature.

They cannot succeed.

This comment, sadly, places you into the narrow minded, cultic crowd, that can't see beyond their literal interpretations and fixed beliefs.

The question of who is Israel today is perfectly covered by Paul in Ephesians 2:11-18. Read it and understand that Gentiles and Jews are one in Jesus. One people, one promise of God's blessing and of Eternal life to every born again Christian, from every tribe, race, nation and language, Revelation 5:9-10

Your insistence on the redemption of ethnic Israel: the citizens of the State of Israel, who may or may not be actual Israelites, is totally at odds with Bible teachings. ONLY those who have accepted the sacrifice of Jesus and who keep His Commandments now, will be saved. And this does NOT mean to be taken up to heaven; we Christians must endure until the end.

This is not a "desperation play," "when all else fails." It is the basic, fundamental beginning from which it all springs. This is what I began with, and what I end with. All of you present scripture after scripture, that you interpret to mean that God will not keep His promises to the nation of Israel, and to its many sub-parts. But not even one of these many scriptures actually says what you interpret it to mean. But the promises actually say, and say in explicit words, that God is going to deliver them in a physical way, and not just spiritually.

So, although none of you like it, the fact remains unmovable, that it your interpretations are correct, then God lied when He made the promises. And God never lies.

I am going to bow out now, for all of you have clearly demonstrated that you are fully committed to giving greater credence to your interpretations of what some scriptures mean, that to the explicit statements of many times more other scriptures.

Dispensationalism fully recognizes every claim of Christ under the New Covenant. But, unlike the unbelief of others, it does not deny any of the promises previously made.

Many advocates of the Two Peoples of God doctrine claim that something went horribly wrong during the first century when the Messiah was rejected by most Israelites, even though we have the text of Isaiah chapter 53, which reveals "the suffering servant".

Other advocates claim their recognition of the New Covenant, while failing to produce any of their writings to support this claim.
How many promoters of the doctrine have preached sermons on the New Covenant of Christ.


The doctrine does everything in its power to separate Israel and the Church by ignoring Acts 2:36, and Romans 11:1, and Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 12:22-24, and James 1:1-3.

Some claim the Book of Matthew was not written for the Church, even though Christ announces His Church in chapter 16, and the Great Commission to the Church is found at the end of the Book.

The greatest error of the doctrine is the claim that at some future point in time modern descendants of Jacob will come to salvation outside of the Church.

Before you bow out, please give us explanations of these two simple but profound New Will and Testament promissory clauses that are free of our interpretations:

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

More disinformation. In my 55 years of studying the writings of Dispensationalists, I have never run across this idea even one time. This is strictly a false accusation that is circulated against Dispensationalists.

All the promises of God are indeed in Christ. And they will all be fulfilled in Christ. But this truth, which is clearly taught in scripture, does not even imply when and how hey will be fulfilled. other scriptures tell us that, and if these are ignored, the full meaning of 2 Corinthians 1:20 can never even begun to be understood.

And Christ is indeed heir of all things. But along the way, he has made specific promises of things he is going to give His lovers. He made one set of promises to those of us who live in the present age. and He made a different set of promises to those who lived in a past age. These promises are not an either/or proposition, but rather a both/and proposition.

The promises he made to us are far better than the ones He made to them, but they do not supplant of change the previous promises. He has promised us a share in His heavenly glory, and He promised them a share in His earthly glory. And to deny either, is to deny that He is indeed heir of all things.

Heb 11:13  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
 

Heb 11:14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 

Heb 11:15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 

Heb 11:16  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

The 1,000-year reign will be the beginning of Jesus’ eternal reign over Israel and the earth (Revelation 20:4, 6).

The work of the New Covenant—Jesus’ death and resurrection to reconcile hearts to God—has been accomplished. But we have not yet seen the complete fulfillment. Jeremiah 31:33 says, “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.

I love the ocean, but my wife, for some STRANGE reason worries about those nasty little problems called hurricanes. So we settled in Ocala, about as far from the open water as you can get in Florida, even though it is only sixty miles away, east OR west.

Since moving here, we have had three hurricanes. Twp passed up the east coast, and one up the west coast. For all three, the zone of destruction ended about 10 to 20 miles short of our home.

Good thing is we have at least a three day warning on hurricanes.
Take off for 3 days on a little vacation :)

Good thing is we have at least a three day warning on hurricanes.
Take off for 3 days on a little vacation :)

FOUR DAYS before the last hurricane was predicted to arrive, while it was still predicted to have only a 20% chance of hitting us, we decided to buy gas. The gas station was "out of gas! So we thought we really should go to the store and get a few things, "just in case." We could not believe our eyes when we arrived at the local Super Wal-Mart. Entire shelves were EMPTY! There was basically no canned meat, almost no canned vegetables. And drinks, breads, and pastries simply did not exist.

The whole area had gone crazy. There was a run on - everything!

And when the storm actually hit, the damage at out house was two palm fronds down in the front yard, and a dozen twigs down in the back. And we lost power six times - for a TOTAL of about two seconds!

It took the local stores two weeks to re-stock.
