@strattgatt Gen17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a *father of many nations* have I made thee.Gal3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are *of faith*, the *same are* the children of Abraham.3:29 And *if ye be* Christ’s, *then are ye* Abraham’s seed, and *heirs according to the promise*.
Also, see 1Cor10v1~*4*///remember Eph4v4~6 1spirit 1Lord 1faith 1Body.
Jesus says in John10v16...and there shall be *one fold*, and *one shepherd*.
"A chosen people, royal priesthood, a holy nation" The book of 1 Peter is of course written to the dispersed Jews. Not to gentiles. He uses that language because he is writing to the jews. Not really helping your argument there Hank.
Read Romans 2:28-29 He is not a JEW who is one outwardly, whose circumcision is of the flesh, but He is a JEW who is one inwardly Whose circumcision is of the heart.
Romans 4 - 'All who have faith are of their Father Abraham' (Paraphrased).
OT full of types and symbols, Israel is a Type/Symbol of the Church in the NT.
Conclusion: If you are saved you are a Jew and Israel in the spiritual sense, not physical.
Last Read Matthew 21:33-44 Christ says the kingdom is no longer theirs, forever!
AW Pink did start out believing in dispensationalism, however he wound up covenantal after a few years, also my experience. Read his biography by Iain Murray -- it's very interesting -- enjoy!
@paulbortolazzo The Bible says not to bear false witness (sin!), which is what your post tries to do. Two of the things you mentioned are not essentials to the core of Christian faith, and the other two are flat out lies. So basically you are a liar.
@DIVINESOTERIOLOGY I take it to mean physical Israelites. But remember that Paul qualifies in Romans 9 the "not all Israel is Israel", only the ones God chooses. Sometimes Paul goes back and forth with the words "Israel" and "Church", but I don't think so in Romans 11. God bless
@RBNightlinger He's a partial preterist, like RC Sproul, I believe Gentry, and many others.

Israel means Israel; not the Watchtower Society and not the church.

Romans 11 says Israel is blinded until the time of the gentiles. Does that mean the the church is blinded?
