Hey guys,
Blessings in Christ Jesus!
I'm doing a study on world religions and need to know what does your religion feel about the Jews... are they still the chosen people... or do Christians and Christianity replace them?
thanks!!
I'm not sure anymore. I've always thought we replaced them but I've been listening to John Macarthur on Grace to you and now I'm not sure. It looks like they may repent and accept Christ one day.
But, "not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but 'Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.' "
It was Romans 9 that really pushed me away from my Dispensational youth. Sure, God isn't over with Israel, and still has a plan for Jews, provided we understand what that means. Ethnicity doesn't seem to make one an Israelite in Paul's mind. I'm farily convinced that as far as Paul is concerned, there never was at any time any kind of racial covenant with Israel.
They are Christians, and should self identify as such fist and foremost. Frequently the movement seems to reestablish the wall of seperation between Jew and Gentile which Christ abolished.
