that's right, there are many false converts who think they are going to Heaven and are not. This is why I am lovingly seeking to correct them with Scripture lest they find themselves to be those who Christ also called lukewarm.

Rev 3:16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.
Since when are heretics loving?

Absolute rubbish. As is the horrific heresy of replacement theology.

Paul is ALWAYS AND ONLY talking about Messianic Jews when he says "Israel of God". ISRAELITES of the stock of Jacob. ONLY.

Gal 6:16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them (GENTILES), ***AND*** upon the Israel of God.

Paul makes a clear distinction here, because it is IMPOSSIBLE for a gentile to be an actual ethnic Israelite.

Furthermore, the Church is the VIRGIN BRIDE (of which Messianic Jews are a part!) waiting for the consummation.
Israel the nation (sons of Jacob only) is the WIFE OF JEHOVAH waiting for the restoration.

The first occurs at the rapture.
The second occurs at the Second Coming.
according to you, Paul must have been horribly mistaken for calling everyone in Christ the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise given to Abraham which were not just those in Galatia to whom Paul was writing in Galatians 6:16 but to the Israel of God throughout the whole world made up of both Jew and Gentile!

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

you do realise that by resorting to slander without any proof only proves that you have no valid argument to make?

My suggestion to you is to take off your OT goggles and look through the lens of fulfilment of the New Testamament in which all of the shadows and types of the Old were pointing to.

God's children are not of the flesh as you presume but of the Spirit. Not all Israel is Israel. Only those who are born again in Christ are the true seed of Abraham. I have already given you all these Scriptural references but you continue to ignore them. The only true Jew today is he who is in Christ.

Please do not call yourself a Christian if you believe you need to remain under the veil in Moses and refuse to listen to Him who prophesied of Christ.

Act_3:22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, 'THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN. HIM YOU SHALL HEAR IN ALL THINGS, WHATEVER HE SAYS TO YOU.

Those who deny the New Covenant Christ has made and choose to live in the shadows of the Old which has passed away and is now obsolete, prove themselves to be judicially blinded by God.

2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
You presented John Hopkins so you were discussing physical genetic connection and when I proved you wrong you suddenly switched to spiritual.
You are a worker of INIQUITY!

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’
23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of iniquity.’

You are deceitful.
You switch conversations in the middle of conversations the moment you see you're proven wrong.

You know who else does that?

Absolute heresy....

Absalom....a type of the anti-Christ, David a type of Christ.
A portrait of Gods love for the lost.

2Sa 18:33
Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: “O my son Absalom—my son, my son Absalom—if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!”

Judas gets the sop of honor. Jesus is ***loving JUDAS*** (and has been all along!) and offering him fellowship and salvation......right to the bitter end.
Judas OF HIS OWN FREE WILL......refuses!

Jhn 13:26
Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
Speaking of Judas, the Scriptures are very clear that his place was decreed by God and prophesied to come to pass, proving that he was a reprobate who was left to his own love of sin and justly handed over to the devil which also proves that Go uses evil people He hates to fulfil His decree for His people He loves as seen in Christ.

Act 1:20 "For it is written in the Book of Psalms: 'LET HIS DWELLING PLACE BE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE LIVE IN IT'; and, 'LET ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.'
Act 1:21 "Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Act 1:22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."
Act 1:23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Act 1:24 And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen
Act 1:25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."

which Christ confirmed in His prayer to His father below.

Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Please note the definition of perdition below.

I came across an article yesterday written by a Jew who in a very scholarly manner brings forth his arguments and that of other Jews on this issue if you dare to read it.

The article I presented proved this article wrong weeks ago.

Once again, you are being Deceitful like your father.

Ultimately, science and genetic testing available today proves that his central assertion was wrong. The vast majority of Jews today can be traced genetically back to the Levant area, not the Khazars.

I don't really care if you think you have won some kind of battle against me for I am not here for that reason as I know it is only up to the grace of God to open the eyes of those He chooses to do so through a fool like me.

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter what you think you believe but what really matters is whether what you believe is the truth and that is what I have been trying to do to you and all here in faithful exposition of Scripture and loving prayer.

if you sincerely believe I am wrong and call yourself a Christian then it is duty to correct me with Scripture for it is given for this reason and failure to do so only proves that the love of God is not yet in you.

You misrepresented scripture and falsely made claims about origins and used data that was already proven incorrect.

It would be impossible for me to convince a liar of anything because it takes a liar to believe their own lies.

You're problem is that I am not the punching bag but the one who God uses to throw punches back at the liars.

That is not the gospel, that is a typical example of systematic theology.

The apostle Paul told us what the gospel is.

1 Corinthians15:1-8
Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

1 Corinthians 2:2
For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.

Now look again at your post #582 and compare it with what the scripture calls the gospel.

How can you possibly get that wrong?

I highly admire Whitefield but that doesn't mean I agree with absolutely everything he said.

If a person sys that they are saved by absolutely anything they have done then they are guaranteed to not yet be saved and are still under the curse and have not yet been humbled by God to realise that salvation belongs to Hi and not the choice of men.
nobody wakes up saved one morning so obviously to say we do absolutely nothing is foolish.
People are saved when God subdues the will. This is an easier process for some than it is for others, a happier process for some than it is for others.

God's will prevails in every case.

why is it that you can not answer the simple question given to you???

Does God love those He justly casts into Hell?

God indeed is love and He loves justice so much He killed HIs own Son at the hands of evil men in order to save His people from their sin. God's grace is indeed awesome because it is sovereign, free and particular to those who He has decreed to give it to but people like you pervert God's grace by confusing God's good providence to all as being a type of grace that is common to all and in doing so you make the sacrifice of Christ a common thing and insult the Spirit of grace (Heb 10:29) and in turn pervert the Gospel!
You talk alot about grace but you are not very gracious ... you might wish to ponder that.

God's punishment of sin was known by the early Puritans as "God's peculiar work" that is to say it is a work He does that is averse to His nature. He waits with long suffering.

The early Puritans of the 16th century were a different breed to the Puritans of the 17th century. They were gentle, of such of their number is William Tynedale.
The 17th century Puritans had become political ... not unsimilar to the present day Evangelicals in America.

Thus says Adonai,
who gives the sun as a light by day
and the fixed order of the moon
and the stars as a light by night,
who stirs up the sea so its waves roar,
Adonai-Tzva’ot is His Name:
“Only if this fixed order departs from before Me”
—it is a declaration of Adonai—
“then also might Israel’s offspring cease
from being a nation
before Me—for all time.”


(Jeremiah 31:34-35)


Notice that God uses the specific wording “Only if this fixed order departs from before Me”

The fixed order is talking about the sun, moon, stars stop doing what God created them to do. And we know nothing as the such has happened. So todays people are a direct bloodline remnant of this prophesy in Jeremiah concerning the Jews of that day.

We also know from other Books discussing the end time events that 144,000 of these biological Jews existing today, the remnant, will be a major force for God pouring out His Spirit in the Tribulation like Joel prophesies about.

1. And it shall come to pass that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh before the great and terrible day of HaShem come

We know this is about the time before the Second Coming because Joel is describing the Tribulation Period when Jesus Returns:

3. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

4. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of HaShem come.

^
It matches the words of Jesus in Matthew 24
:

29Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man


Today, we already know about Messianic Jews, Jews who believe Jesus is their Messiah and Savior.

So it's clear these Jews are part of both covenants but will merge into the second covenant before the return of Jesus.
But He keeps talking right? He doesn't end it there, He tells THEM in 24: 34-35 " 34 Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.", then does go on to tell them that no one knows the day, but He tells THEM "THIS GENERATION" will NOT pass away before ALL these things take place.
Jesus tells them so clearly right here that that generation would be around for everything He just told hem about. Do we need to just reread the whole chapter? Go over the "ALL" He is talking about.

The whole time the story always was that the Messiah brought salvation and judgement, Jesus brought the salvation, poured His Spirit out on man, and within that generation the judgement on the covenant breaking Jews, the promised judgement at the end of that AGE that ushered in the new covenant and His kingdom on earth, not a kingdom that you can point to and say "there it is", but an eternal kingdom He rules and His people from all nations make it up, the new Israel. The kingdom that would never see defeat and that the gates of hell cannot prevail against. All this happen EXACTLY like He said it would and exactly when He said it would. Within THAT GENERATION Jerusalem was destroyed, the temple torn down, not one brick left on another, all the priestly genealogies were burnt to ash, it was described by eye witnesses like "the blood was flowing through the streets", and scenes where a woman is offering others some of her food. It was her own child she had cooked and was eating because everyone was starving to death.

To be honest I believe you HAVE to add to scripture to get anything else out of these verses. "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." Is pretty dang clear, and the fact the historical record even supports that it happened exactly like Jesus said it would is powerful to me, and putting all this future to us just takes all that away and opens Jesus up to accusations that He gave a false prophesy. So from my point of view it robs Him of the amazing nature of Gods perfect power over time and knowing what's going to happen, but it also opens Jesus up to attacks that I feel shouldn't even be on the table. Jesus predicted everything perfectly.

Now I understand the nature of this debate, trust me I am down south in the Bible belt and have never been to a church where the Pre-trib Rapture wasn't preached with fire! So I know it gets intense and I'm not trying to step on toes here, but in truth the more screws I took to this belief the less it made sense to me. I believe that everything points to this coming judgement that Jesus is telling them about being a breath away. Everything from the fig tree the Jesus cursed for producing no fruit, to the parable of the landowner that lets people farm his land and ends up sending his son that they end up killing, to the woman He tells on the way to the cross "do not weep for me, weep for your children", He knew something was coming and even this small obscure verse seems to fit better with the view these things already took place.

I can go on and on about this stuff, but am not trying to "correct" anyone as much as I am share how I feel He has lead me to see it.
