Unless you're saying the flesh Israel is simply judah's children
Flesh Israel is Jacob’s children, not just Judah’s
christians are the new jews, old jews are so last century
But most of the 10 lost tribes got cut off
This feels far too much like identity politics in my opinion. Christianity to me is not about taking notes on which children are chosen and which aren't. Christianity is accepting the lord Lord's reign over us, and obeying scripture to the wholest of our abilities.
Look up Galatians 6 16 and get back to me
Instead of saying "w-well WE were the children of this guy, so God likes us more!"
Being a Christian is pretty important
Of course
My faith is one of the most important things in the world to me.
1 Peter 2 9
Generation
So you think it was only that generation?
Seems to be.
He claims that it is a chosen generation, as such, it's referring only to that generation.
So what are Christians if not the people of God?
I never once said otherwise.
Right, we are the people of God, where flesh Israel once was, hence the new Israel
That seems a little bit of a reach. Simply saying that the church is the chosen people of God is probably a far less confusing way of saying it. Claiming we're the new Israel is a little overboard.
It’s the same thing
Saying you're the new Israel has an awful lot of connotations. Not to mention, not really. Israel is simply a region/country in the common vernacular. Simply claiming that we are the chosen people of God is a much better way of putting it.
I mean in reference to Old Testament Israel, not the modern state
I'm aware, but you see how it could be rather misleading to just about anyone who's not intimately familiar with scripture, no?
Doesn’t matter, I don’t base my linguistic choices on man’s concerns
To spread the word of our Lord, we want to not repulse people. That's our goal in life, after all.
If people are repulsed by the Old Covenant that’s their problem
Most people don't even know what's in the OT
Hence why they'll think you're just calling Christians Jews
When we show them the light of the Lord, they'll be okay with it, but if they don't know, they'll think we're attempting to claim to be Jewish in roots.
We are Jews, in a spiritual sense. And we are Jewish in roots. That’s why Jesus says the synagogue of Satan *calls themselves Jews and are not*, because modern Jews are not Jews in the sense that the Bible uses
"We are jews"
I think this conversation has concluded.
If you have an issue with the Bible that’s not my problem
I don't, however, others do.
Obviously modern Jews are wicked, but when I say Christians are spiritual Jews I’m not referring to Talmudists
Yes, but those who are unfamiliar with us don't know what we're talking about. It's just a poor way to spread the light in my opinion.
I’m not going to water down the message of Truth to suit man’s sensibilities
