To: GiovannaNicoletta; Dr. Eckleburg
Can you give me the Scripture where God says that He has cancelled any of His promisses to the Jews?

That bit of rhetoric is important to you, isn't it?

What does the New Testament say about the land promise that you dispensationalists obsess about?

For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

"Heir of the world"? Where did Paul get that? Hmmmm.

And see also

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.*

These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

For they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Hmmmm.

Leave out the Scriptures about salvation, we all know about those.
I'm not sure we all do. Maybe we should go over Acts 2:39.
I'll need the exact, word-for-word Scripture passagess that replacement theologists use to deny the other Scriptures where God makes eternal promises to the Jewish people.

Now, if you can't find that Scripture, I'll need an explanation of where exactly replacement theology came from and what Scripture is used by replacement theologistss to justify the belief that God has lied to His covenant, chosen people.

See post 82.

I could give you every bit of the book, and you'd insist on reading it through the lens of Scofield's notes.

(Dr. E.: We write for the benefit of others who may be reading. Otherwise, I might invoke Matthew 7:6.)

*Which is to say, every Christian ever. Galatians 3:29.

Can you isolate the exact words in all of that that you posted where God said that the promises and the everlasting covenants He made with the Jewish people are null and void?
