Will there be animal sacrifice during temple worship in the millennium?

>Fruchtenbaum notes that "the term Israel is viewed theologically as referring to all descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
also known as Jews, the Jewish people, Israelites, Hebrews, etc.

Fruchtenbaum fails to make the elementary but critical distinction between Israelites and Jews.  We know that all Jews are Israelites, but the overwhelming majority of Israelites are not Jews.  He wants to lump Hebrews, Semites, Israelites and Jews together as one, and that is absurd at even the definitional level. His use of the phrase "Israel is viewed theologically as..." does not effectively mask his illogic and is not helpful to his case.

THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE,.....A GREAT READ,.......thank you for posting!!!

The Distinction Between Israel and the Church "The New Testament consistently differentiates between Israel and the church," claims Arnold Fruchtenbaum.1 Fruchtenbaum supports this conclusion through a powerful twofold argument in which he first demonstrates the biblical view of Israel and secondly, by showing that the church is viewed in the New Testament as a separate entity.

The whole article and thread is another, "Classic"!

Maranatha!
