Sometimes i think we'd like to say more to people, we think "I'll tell them more the next time" Only to find that sometime may never come, at least i planted a seed..

the body of Christ is "isreal" I believe that is in galatians 3.The body of Christ is the New Israel.
ok, I have to be cautious around my kin with that. I don't mind talking about the torah at all. I also learn something on that. I would have to be very wise and knowledgable with that around them.I'm thinking with her it was what she needed to hear, that Jesus was alive, and it was him that told me to purchase her wares.. the look on her face spoke volumes.. There was something else that happened in that mall but I'd be derailing this thread to tell it..

im not a futurist that I mistaken call ONLY those in isreal isreal. but what would I know, im not jewish. I don't have the lineage that proves my descent from isreal.It is in Galatians 6:16 that Paul pronouces his benediction upon the "Israel of God". This phrase should be taken in the context of all Scripture. That the Body of Christ would comprise both Jews and Gentiles was a "mystery" revealed through the apostle Paul. This is the "Israel of God" today -- the Church. As long as God is building His Church on earth, this will apply.
However, once the Church (Jew and Gentile in one Body) is removed at the Rapture, God will resume His dealings with the nation of Israel and the land of Israel as noted in Romans chapters 9-11, and throughout the Old Testament. The promises made of Abraham, Isaac, and David will be fulfilled on this earth.
that said there is a way that TOG says it that does get the point across to them.
You views of the law that is still in effect, ie the kosher laws, and also how you would say most likely that Jesus is the torah incarnate. He also didn't violate the torah and didn't come to negate the torah but to correct how the torah was done. ie like a rabbi would amongst each other. ie hillel v shimeiI've never actually witnessed to a jew. The only Jew I've ever known is a woman I only met just over a week ago, and she's already a believer in Messiah. It's always fun to know I'm doing something right. What is it that I say that would get the point across?
The TOG
I counter with, if a jew is saved today or in the millennium what exactly is the difference if both are messianic jews or not. is a jew any less if he isn't in isreal and is saved?
if the rapture were to occur today. then most jews in isreal compared to the world would be less then 1/3 of the total population. god didn't die for land , he died for people. if isreal repeants then what exactly are they now?
believed and saved jews that must be doing what? shabat?
mosaic law offerings to include peshac, sukhot,yom kippur, and rosh hoshanna? or about these? the blood, the atonement,...
baptism and also the holy spirit per acts 2, and also communion
if the later then that isreal nothing but a type of church. statistically the isreal per the millennium is not even 10% of the world's population. and what will the Hebrew be telling the world? moses? or jesus?
ok.Jason,
Today we are living in the "Church age" and God is making no distinction between saved Jews and saved Gentiles. He is placing them all in one Body -- the Church of Christ. The problem with Messianic Jews is that they fail to understand that they cannot separate themselves from Gentiles Christians today (as most do). God sees the Church today as "the Israel of God" -- a spiritual entity, and men should see this too.
If the Rapture would occur today only saved Jews and saved Gentiles would be "caught up" into the air. If all of Israel would repent today and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, all Israel would be raptured. But we know that will not happen.
Christ did not die for the land, but God promised the land to Abraham and his descendants. God always keeps His promises, therefore the Kingdom of Israel on earth will be redeemed and restored by Christ.
Believing and saved Jews must understand that everything under the Law of Moses (as above) is now null and void. Christ fulfilled all the sacrifices, and He also became the Pesach (Passover Lamb). Therefore they must simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.
Christian water baptism and the Lord's Supper are necessary for obedience. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer as the Gift of God when they are saved.
Redeemed and restored Israel will occupy the land from the river Nile (Egypt) to the river Euphrates (Iraq). There will be very large numbers of "the seed of Abraham" during the Millenium (and beyond). And the Hebrews will tell the world that Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords.
ok.
1) if god says to Isreal do this and its forever why then per peter is the world destroyed?
3)how exactly would this nation with its jews simply be gone. those jews here would exodus back to isreal? for what reason?
