 The part that pertains to the Nation of Israel and not the Church.  

  You have some red letter version of the Bible?  For Israel vs For the Church?   Or is this just a manifestation of the dispensational error?

You can’t discern the differences between the Church and the Nation Israel in Scripture? That’s not my problem. And, by the way, you don’t seem to be all that loving in your differences with a fellow Christian. I don’t really think I want to fellowship with you.

I think there are a number of fundamental errors on their part in terms of Israel and Church. First, is their confusion regarding the term "Israel" as it used in Scripture. Second, and sad to say, despite their expected protesting, Dispensationalists have no love for the Church.

Look at how they characterize the Church of God, they view it as starting at Pentecost, they consider it a "parenthesis", or an irrelevant tangent that is a side-line of God's real rail-line the genetic offspring of Abraham. They attribute no value to the Church as God is only indulging 21st century Westerners with an "Escape From Hell" path so that they won't be inconvenienced with eternal damnation.

Because they have no love for the Church, they have no problem making a mockery of the Church in their so-called Worship services, their forms of entertainment, and on a dozen channels on cable and satellite.

Because they have no love for the Church, they don't think in accordance to the knowledge that Jesus died for His Church and that it might actually have some relevance in exhibiting His Glory (hence Free Will soteriology that makes God a second billing as a mere "co-pilot")

Because they have no love for the Church, they have no problem arrogantly dismissing great theologians of God from Augustine to RC Sproul, even calling you a heretic to your face because their vanity exceeds their respect for the Spirit's work within the saints of the Church.

Because they have no love for the Church they refuse to believe that the passages of Scripture referring to the Church are to the Church, rather then think that these passages are for post-Apocalyptic exiles, blasphemers and people like Rhaum Emanuel and Barbara Streisand.

That is why they pooh-pooh the martyrs of all ages and run around terrorizing each other, hoping that when it gets real inconvenient and uncomfortable they can pull the Rapture Ripcord and be exempt from any Consequences of their Ideas

Vanity.
