dual-covenant theology is nonsense that you would hear from the world council of churches or any other ecumenical group.
I didnt hear it from any church, I read it in the Bible. Did I happen to mention it says well over 30 times in the Tanach that the covenant is not only eternal but the Jewish people should follow it as they can enjoy a relationship with HaShem through it? If you think its nonsence then you are calling the Torah nonsence.
JewishHeart said:
unfortunately, it is this very theology that some good believers in jerusalem have accepted and therefore it has led to blood on their hands.
How has it lead to blood on their hands? The mass brutality caused against the Jews during the Crusades and the Inquisitions in the name of force converting to christianity derived from your very view. Once again, you cannot ignore what the Torah says nor what it promises the Jews if they are faithfull to it, which is exactly the reason they choose death over abandoning it.
JewishHeart said:
there is a generation of jewish people out there that are lost without messiah yeshua whether you believe it or not, to believe otherwise is to be the watchman who didn't report and has blood on his hands
Why then does the Brit Hadasha specifically state that the Jews will NOT accept Yeshua as HaShem has made them blind towards him? Why did HaShem make them blind? Why would he do so if there were no other way to gain salvation? They will see in the end times and accept Yeshua then, for now those faithfull to the eternal covenant can enjoy a relationship with G-d and that is exactly what all the prophets and indeed Yeshua himself called for.
JewishHeart said:
if you are right and I am wrong, then it doesn't matter about the salvation of the Jewish people and whether I am wrong
If I am right and you are wrong, then you have blood on your hands for not evangelizing
So your going to try and guilt me into ignoring the entire message of the Tanach? Nope not going to work.
JewishHeart said:
Paul said in Romans 9 that he was willing to give away his own eternal inheritance and salvation to see the Jewish people saved !!!! If they were saved under the first covenant then Paul is foolish for giving away such a precious thing to see someone saved who is already saved.
As much as Paul would have loved to have seen the Jewish people accept that yeshua was messiah, he also admits that it is in G-ds plan that they do not. Once again of cource, your completely ignoring the entire message in the Tanach.
JewishHeart said:
In Romans 11 Paul says that their salvation will bring a revival to the rest of the nations.
And this will happen in the Messianic Era.
JewishHeart said:
Your twist of Yeshua's " I did not come for the healthy, but for the sick" is absurd. You can tell whether Yeshua thinks the Prushim ( modern rabbinical judaism) are sick or healthy in Matthew 23.
Yes indeed I can tell, he did not eat with them instead with the sinners as that is why he came. Isnt it funny how people like JewishHeart here say they are messianic, yet they ignore the entirity of the Torah and Tanach so as to twist the words of the Jewish messiah?
JewishHeart said:
There are people out there who shed blood, sweat, and tears for the salvation of the Jewish people.Their burden is immense. They want mercy and hope for mercy for the Jewish people, but know that only the blood of Yeshua provides this.
Thats lovely. Torah says different.
JewishHeart said:
Dual-covenant theology is much like Calvinism in that it cools down the fire of evangelism.
I wont trade the truth of what the Bible says in so that we can rekindle the "flame of evangelism", sorry.
JewishHeart said:
Hix, I can't find your theology anywhere in the New Covenant unless I twisted alot of scriptures.
Its there, trust me it is. Oh and while your looking in the Bible how about reading the Tanach? open at any page and im sure youl find what Im saying.
JewishHeart said:
Hix, notice also in Jeremiah that the Brit HaChadashah was for JUDAH!!!!
Im guessing you are refering to the new covenant mentioned? I couldnt agree with you more, well said and amen! Jeremiah states it will be a reknewal of the OLD covenant ie the One at Sinai when IT will be written in our hearts to perform it. Thats just what Yeshua did.
Shalom and G-d bless
