 First of all, I'd like to thank you for your politeness as well.

     I still disagree w/ you, but I wish everyone would study their Word as much as you do, and I'm glad God put you on my side. I think you'll do a lot of good work for God.

   My personal take on the Exodus passage when seen next to the Revelation passage, is that - while the words of Exodus 19: 6 were certainly only physically addressed to the actual, flesh - and- blood Israelites - the death and resurrection of Yeshua/Jesus granted spiritual access to those promises of God for those outside of the fold who would become born again through accepting Yeshua/Jesus' incredible gift.

   But, as I said, that's my personal take on it, and I'll pray for further knowledge on it so that I don't run the risk of spreading an interpretation that's not fully accurate.

   I think I've probably said everything I can on this topic, so I probably won't comment on it again (although I'll definitely still read and consider any further points you have on the matter), even if you quote another differing opinion. Plus, I don't want you to think I'm just badgering you, or seeking an argument.

   However, it's not common that I meet someone w/ a love for the Word, so I don't want to pass up the opportunity to have more conversations w/ you, on whatever topics, in the future.

   Peace, brother!

   

   

Hey Brother

Glad to discuss anything you want.

You said......... "My personal take on the Exodus passage when seen next to the Revelation passage, is that - while the words of Exodus 19: 6 were certainly only physically addressed to the actual, flesh - and- blood Israelites - the death and resurrection of Yeshua/Jesus granted spiritual access to those promises of God for those outside of the fold who would become born again through accepting Yeshua/Jesus' incredible gift. "

We are not far apart in what you said. While I don't see grounds to say the church has replaced Israel or become spiritual Israel or whatever....we have been made partakers of their spiritual things.

Romans 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.

In response to the last part that I highlighted: There is no Biblical evidence that those Gentiles believed that because we don't have any of their handwritten epistles where they claim that.

Hello

We do have an example of the Gentiles believing Peter:

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Hi douge,

You do have a good understanding of much of God`s word and it is good to read what you say. I do agree that the church, the Body of Christ is NOT Israel. So that`s great we can agree there. However there is a very important point that needs to be looked at. I have stated elsewhere that the two offices of King and priest are separate in Israel while in the Body of Christ who has the `on top` calling, (high calling) on Christ`s own throne, we will be kingpriests as God`s word says.

The Lord Himself is the highPriest and the King. Where there is a high priest there are other priests and they are of the same Melchizedek order, (kingpriests). That is shown in Rev. 1:6 &  5: 9 - 10) Also for us to sit on His throne, (Rev. 3: 21) indicates we will all rule, (Kingship) whereas Israel will only have ONE king - king David in the millennium, (under Christ).

Marilyn.

Hi douge,

You seem to miss my comments when I write about kingpriests. Israel has those two offices separately, while the Body of Christ has them together, a higher calling.

Marilyn.

I was responding to your words (underlined)

You are right the Gentiles were to provoke Israel to jealousy. These Gentiles are not Israel they are part of the remnant of the election of grace. These are the Gentiles who heard the preaching of Peter and the Apostles and believed but they are not Gentiles in the body of Christ.

That part has no support in the new testament.

But we have from Paul writing the Gentiles .. which includes all who heard the gospel through the apostles..

1 Cor.12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

If you continue on this line of discussion, you will have to find someone else to participate. There's always the possibility that there will be another topic that we will agree on.

Hello

There were Gentiles who believed before Paul was saved and before the body of Christ was formed.

Acts 10:43-48 is one example of Gentiles saved before Paul...they are called "The church of God" not the body of Christ.

Paul persecuted the church of God before his conversion (1 Corinthians 15:9).

The body of Christ was revealed only by Paul ...the first mention of the body of Christ is Romans 12:5
