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.

So we are the real Jews.

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

It's not watering it down, it's simply using modern vernacular. It serves no purpose for us to distort the average person's perception of Christ's followers.

I don’t care what the modern Jews call themselves, or what modern people think. Modern people think mutilating children to turn them trans is ok

I care what God thinks

Yes, that's why it's more important than ever to spread the Lord's word in whatever way we can. By alienating people, all we do is push them away from the truth. I can't possibly know what He would want, but it would make sense that God would rather have followers that were brought into this due to a simplified message, than to have His word lost to history because we've repelled the people away from His message.

Do you at least see what I'm saying?

Even if not, this was a nice conversation. It's good to talk to somebody about this.

How long until America (as we know it) ceases to exist?

all empires whittle away

Of course, but the question is, how long will it take for the American empire to fully collapse?

long time, I'd say 3-4 centuries

not in our lifetime

in our lifetime
