Galations 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Peace be on those for the circumcision and the uncercumcision. Then it separates out Israel. The church has NOT replaced Israel.
All other verses refer to the church as being grafted in. Anyone who believes the nonsense that the church has replace Israel has a rude awakening coming and it could be soon.
is it true what some believe that believing Gentiles have been grafted in to Israel with unbelieving Jews???
NO, NO, NO.
believing Gentiles have been grafted in to Israel with believing Jews to make up THE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST.
unbelieving Jews are no more “Israel” than unbelieving Irish or Germans. they all will die in their sin unless they believe in Jesus. Jewish DNA will mean nothing on judgement day. Paul tells us in Romans who a true Jew is and Galatians 6 that the Church is the Israel of God.
here is a quiz for all those who don’t accept this orthodox Christian doctrine:
Romans 11 states “so all Israel shall be saved”
Judas was an Israelite, everyone hopefully will agree with that. was he saved? wasn’t he part of “all Israel”?
if he wasn’t saved, “all Israel” must not be referring to Jewish nationality, correct?
finally, who are heirs to the promises made to Abraham, believers in Jesus Christ or physical Jews?
