Because I was a "dispensationalist" for about 20 years. I bought into all of their teachings and I was zealous to teach others. I was a Sunday school teacher of High School and College age young Christians. But after seriously studying scripture I realized I was in error. I repented.........
Correct! I was a new Christian at the time. It was the 1st book on prophecy that I read (unfortunately for me). It set me back about 20 years......I started questioning dispensationalism about 20 years ago. In a way it's my fault for not doing my own research.
This is my understanding: After the 70 AD dispersion many of the poorer "Jews" remained in Jerusalem and Judea. Other ethnic groups arrived and intermingled with these original "Jews". Islam forced many of the original Jews to convert to Islam. So it's my understanding that many of today's Muslims have "Jewish" blood in their veins.
In April of 2020 I got sick (along w/6 other family members) with a flu type illness. I was 68 yrs old at the time. Whatever it was it lasted about 10 days. It was really a strange illness. Now what I find interesting is that it was during this time period that 5G was rolled out in the area where I live. Were we just experiencing some type of radiation sickness?
Yes indeed! I like to say it this way "Jesus only has one bride - He is not a polygamist"!
The Apostle Paul essentially defines what it means to be a "Jews in Romans 2:28-29 - "For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; **but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, **not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God."
Here's Paul again in Galatians 6:16 - "And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God."
The "Israel of God" is the Church.....both Jew & Gentile.
Amen - Jesus told the phoney Jewish religious leaders (who John refers to as the "synagogue of Satan" in Rev 2:9) that their house (the Temple) would be left to them desolate. That was around 30 A.D. - about 40 years later the Temple & city of Jerusalem were totally destroyed. Not one stone was left upon another.
Amen - great summary! It hurts me that sooo many Christians are taken in by all the dispensational lies - many of which originated with the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible. Who funded the publication and distribution of the Scofield Bible?
It's called fulfillment theology friend. No one has replaced anyone! The "church" started as all "Jews" on the day of Pentecost. Then Samaritans were added and finally gentiles. Read/study Romans 11 - The Olive Tree. The unbelieving Jews were broken off and cast aside. the believing Gentiles were grafted in "among them (the believing Jews)". The unbelieving Jews can be grafted back in when/if they believe. "Grafted in among them" - it doesn't say the Gentiles replaced the Jews but that they were grafted in.....
There's lots of room on the olive tree my friend.
Seal Team 6? Well about all the other Seal Team? How many Seal Teams are there?
