Dear brother, Jesus' blood is the provision; our believing is the receiving of it just as Abraham believed and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. Being the ministration of death, the law never saved anyone, and none but Christ ever kept it.
ok then they are Christians not JEWS. paul counted his heritage as naught for the cross. why did he do that and he is far more "jewish" then any jew today. and the early church was what for the most part when they were called Christians? JEWS!
If I'm understanding you correctly, you're right. I'll add that all of God are not the church if that helps, and the all Israel to be saved is those are those of Rom 11:25 ". . that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in." Romans as pertaining to Israel describes Israel past in Chapter Nine, present in Chapter Ten, and future in Chapter Eleven. Romans 11:28 says this of that time to come: "As concerning the gospel, they (Israel) are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
To me that is true when speaking of the church, thus the church being of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne in Rev 7:9. This is that spoken of in Gal 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Now we know there remains females in the body of Christ, but they aren't counted individually as such, but as one with all others in the church. After the fullness, and the times of the Gentiles cease, God turns to judgment of the church (Judgment begins at the house of God - 1 Pet 4:17), then to tribulation and judgment of the world where He puts down all rule and authority of usurping nations opposing His rule, and then there remains an election saved through all this calamity cast toward an unbelieving world. The church is in heaven including the 144,000 with Christ. What happens to those of the thousand year reign of Christ that are the elect?
Oh I've got to state we're talking of futurism; in that day, the Lord's Day, or the Day of the Lord. There will be new things introduced, the bride will have been in heaven with the Bridegroom and her guests; it has to be evident that the foolish virgins which come later was not allowed to participate, or even enter in the wedding; do you think they were not believers being that they were in heaven I suppose at the wedding? The Song of Songs is very revealing concerning these things as to the King courting His bride.
its still a church. said saints will be how many goy?94% and 6% jew or 90% goy and 10% Hebrew. and all will be doing what to please the lord?
That is certainly true at this present time. Hey Brother Jason, Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, . . . I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Do you think those prior to Christ building His church might not be considered the body of Christ? I’m not saying they aren’t saved, but that just as with John the Baptist, his pleasure was being a friend of the Bridegroom and rejoicing”; not the bride.
