Because this portion of the forum is open to all. There's a "safe house" for those who hold your view, just as there's a "safe house" for those who hold my view.Thx Brian 45, I learned that from Dr Fruchtenbaum in his book Footsteps of the Messiah. It's a shame that every time eschatology gets posted that amillennialists

Because the scripture says "He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit."Ebed, you're a great guy but you've got issues. If Jewishness and Gentiles are no longer relevant then how come you think in terms of being a spiritual Jew? Why not just a Christian or spiritual person?
ebedmelech said:Because the scripture says "He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit."
You haven't realized that physical circumcision was an outward sign of what was an inward reality.
Why do you think God told Israel to "circumcise their heart" in Deuteronomy?
That's how God calls it...so that's what it is...
Because the scripture says "He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit."
Yeah Doug...you read Romans 2, and show me how it's out of context. This is you saying what you think...not what the scripture says.Out of context. Of the Jews, real Jews are the one's who's hearts are right with God. He is not saying that gentile Christians are Jews.

Pretty simple if you walk in the Spirit. Romans 15:7-9 set the stage:Explain Romans 15:27 homie
ebedmelech said:Pretty simple if you walk in the Spirit. Romans 15:7-9 set the stage:
7 Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.
8 For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,
9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, Therefore I will give praise to You among the Gentiles,And I will sing to Your name.
Any Christian should know we are blessed through Israel, as the Lord Jesus is the seed of David that now reigns. When we realize Christ made Jews and Gentiles ONE...the body of Christ should support one another as ONE.
Paul is returning to Jerusalem, and he shares how Gentile saints are pleased to give to the needs of the believers at Jerusalem, and he shares that they understand they've received spiritual blessings through the Jews.
The apostle shares this continuously as he constantly preaches to help the church to understand in Christ there's no difference.
Paul consistently does these things because he's aware of the Judaizers, who follow behind him everywhere he goes trying to deceive believers, that they must observe the OT Laws, which is false under the New Covenant.
Only if one is still thinking "Jews"...instead of the "Body of Christ".Lol exegetical gymnast

As Paul says..."We are members of one another".
Seems Jesus needs to take you through a "Peter picnic"...
Really? What did I say? Here it is again:Ummmhmm right.
Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. (Romans 15:27 ASV)
Paul is referring to my dearest ebled, the recent donation brought forth by the Believing Gentiles of Macedonia to the Believing Jews in Jerusalem.
Again, exegetical gymnastics.
Paul is returning to Jerusalem, and he shares how Gentile saints are pleased to give to the needs of the believers at Jerusalem, and he shares that they understand they've received spiritual blessings through the Jews.
ebedmelech said:Really? What did I say? Here it is again:
Now those in Macedonia and Achaiah are Gentile Christians. You're quite disingenuous if you read my response. I just took it a step further as to how Paul strives to make the point we are one body with Jews.
And he says the Gentiles owed it to em
Replacement Theology:
The view that the Church replaced Israel as God's covenanted people. Or that Israel was in effect the Church in Old Testament times and the Church today is Israel. It believes that the believer in Yeshua becomes a spiritual Jew once he believes.
This is not what the Bible teaches.
You simply missed the qualifier...look at the WHOLE phrase:And he says the Gentiles owed it to em
