Has the Church replaced Israel to the negation of Israel? (part 5)

[HalleyluYah]

this guy is twisting the scripture to bring his muslem brothers to victory,he is using christianity for his own purpose by twisting the scriptures.THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PALESTINIAN PEOPLES> THAT IS A LIE.PROPAGANDA.

[HalleyluYah]

of course the kingdom is in us but that dont change the fact that Yahweh said he would bring back in their own land,if we believe god and say we are spiritual then we should recogmize the fact of Yahweh`s promess bringing the jews in their own land. spiritual israel and physical promess of israel are 2 different things. what we dont like God`s promess because he brings back the jews?a true christiand would not be jalous of the fact that God promessed the return of israel.

les arde a todos porque Dios si escogio Isrrael como NACION!!!! aunke les arda todo de coraje es su nacion!!!

Alex Awad appears to have his own agenda and not represent Gods Truth.

[rkg62976]

The first thing I would like to establish with Mr. Prasch is his definition of "Israel"?

Does he mean the land?

Does he mean the people as physical descendants?

Does he mean its way of worship?

In any debate about Israel, these issue NEED to be addressed!

Land:

the Israel of God is to look toward the heavenly Jerusalem, the heavenly Zion (Gal.4:26; Heb.12:22; Rev.3:12, 21), the kingdom that is NOT of this world (Jn.18:36).

[DeanCo7777]

I think what Awad is preaching good New Testament theology. What Jacob Prasch doesn't seem to know is that most of who has come back to the land up to this time have actually been Edomites who were forced to become Jews in 126 BC. Check the history books that say that Edom became Jewry. Jacob should study what the prophecies say about Edom. Is. 29:5-6 says judgment will come on these false Jews along with the Magog Khazars (Ashkenazi Jews) who have returned to the land claiming to be Israel.

[Jehu30]

Man, its hard to watch Awad cracking his skull open in the shallow end of the theological wading pool. He's not even close to on topic the vast majority of the time.

[yeshualuvsdonny]

Did he (awad) just say GOD was not going to bring HIS wrath to the world? wow, sure sounds good but I think I will believe GOD and HIS word!!!!

[MrShenza]

alex awad is not sticking to scripture.jesus warned people about hell more than he talked about heaven ....and god is not finished with israel so the church could never replace israel 

[bobo577]

@MrShenza What's more, Jesus directed the warnings of hell to his own followers.

[ishellreal]

Alex Awad cannot see the depths of what is being presented because he has a blindness based on a bad taste in his mouth for modern day Israel. It is so clear... we need to pray for Alex to have the scales removed from his eyes.

[Neartothebrokenheart]

I'm at part five, been through 1-5 now and I would like to say that Alex Awad is just very much mistaken as we all can be. However, I can't stop thinking he is simply dishonest.

[Jimvesterstallone]

Awad gives away his problem of interpretation when he says "I would rather see..."

We must see what's there, whether it is what we want to see or not. His Word is truth...all of it.

[orasmust52]

Jesus did talk about the restoration of the kingdom to Israel, as this is what the apostles asked Him about in Acts, when this restoration would occur. As such, the one who said Jesus didn't mention it is biased as the 'gentile' host identified. Jacob is right.

[EncompassedRunner]

Mr. Awad's flawed interpretative method that would spiritualize the land promises would makes so many verses totally nonsensical...for example:

"I will bring again the captivity of My people Israel AND JUDAH...and I will cause them to return to THE LAND that I gave to their fathers."

(Jer 30:3)

This verse makes zero sense if Israel is spiritualized to be the Church, b/c who then would be Judah, eh!?

(when words have no literal contextual meaning u can make it say what u want, like Awad does)

[EncompassedRunner]

What!?! @0:13 "the Kingdom is no more geographic" !!?!...come on, so many specific place names:

"Thus says the Lord God, 'This the boundary by which you shall divide the land...north side from the Great Sea by the way of Hethol to the entrance of Zedad...& the border of Hamath...from the sea to Hazarenan...east side fom between Hauran, Damascus...south side...from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh...to the Great Sea...west side...to a point opposite Lebohamath.."(Ez47:13-21)

[strappystratford]

it sounds like you must be listening through some really distorted filter to have completely missed all that he's said in here. The Kingdom of God has nothing to do at all with land. If a physical kingdom was important, why did Jesus NEVER talk about taking over Israel for the Jews while he was living under Roman Occupation, and why did he not lead a rebellion to establish that kingdom?? What did he do? Spent a whole lot of time talking about LOVE for the WHOLE WORLD.

[EncompassedRunner]

@strappystratford, Jesus was not on some political or social gospel kumbaya mission w/ his first coming...He came to die, "to seek & save the lost"...& just as the prophecies (ex Is 53) of His first mission (death) were fulfilled literally, His prophecies of His second mission/coming (reigning in a literal geographic Kingdom on Earth) will be fulfilled literally, on Earth...that's the point of the Revelation 5 title deed scroll, redemption of the land by Kinsman-Redeemer Jesus

[EncompassedRunner]

@strappystratford, p.s., about the love the whole world stuff, it's vogue now for intefaithers & anti-Zionists to place heavy emphasis on the Sermon of the Mount to erroneously support this "love", turn the cheek, go the mile, type stuff...*but* they get it wrong, since there is a context to that Sermon...Jesus is exegeting Leviticus & Deuteronomy to clarify Pharisees erroneous teaching on it, & He was not giving them their mission, & not giving them endtimes prophecy

[strappystratford]

He's not talking about fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant? Seems really strange that he would tell the Christians that they are "Abraham's seed" and "heirs" then. You must have some really special interpretive powers that I don't to be able to read exactly what you want to out of what seems very clear and straight forward.

[EncompassedRunner]

strappy, I think you meant to leave this reply to a comment on a different video in your series, since it doesn't seem to be responding to anything I said here...but, nope, no "interpretive powers" necessary, strange or otherwise, to see Paul was not talking about the Abrahamic Covenant being fulfilled when he *explicitly* said it was not the Abrahamic Covenant (which he said was *not* disannuled), but "the law" (& we know it was Moses not Abe who got that) ~ Gal 3:17

[strappystratford]

hmmm, perhaps you should try using a different, not KJV (one of the poorest translations still, sadly, in use) version of the text and that would help your comprehension of it.

[EncompassedRunner]

strappy, I'm using a variety of Bibles, & your communication is a bit rude & presumptious imo...assuming I'm not using multiple versions, concordances, etc; saying "you must be listening through some distorted filter," "you must have some special interpretive powers," & so on...I'm using & citing scripture, & you're talking past & around, diverting...So to your new versions digression...the excellent NASB, says same thing in 3:17 the Law(Moses) does not invalidate the covenant(Abraham), better!

[strappystratford]

Sorry, I always find it very difficult not to get angry with racists. And the racists I find most difficult to deal with are those who use the Bible to justify their own hateful rhetoric. People like that make it really difficult for me to want to continue identifying as Christian.

And Galatians 3.17 says what it says. No, the Mosaic covenant doesn't nullify the Abrahamic covenant, but it's really irrelevant whether it does or not since Christians are Abraham's seed, plain and simple vv. 28-29.
