Proposition #1: The Church Of Jesus Christ Embraces Both Jews And Gentiles As Part Of The Messianic Kingdom. The Messianic Kingdom Includes Jewish And Gentile Believers As Citizens On An Equal Basis. Was Abraham a Jew? No. “The term Jew is a derivative of Judah the fourth son of Jacob and the dominant last surviving tribe of Israel. The Hebrew term meant “man of Judah,” and that term is first used in the Bible in 2 Kings 16:6. After the exile the term Jew came to be used for anyone descended from these people regardless of other considerations. Mordecai is identified as both a Jew and a descendant of Benjamin in Esther 2:5.” Oxford Companion To The Bible. 5: Was God's promises of a land, a seed, and a blessing given to Abraham alone? Was it Abraham that was called and no other? Initially it was given to Abraham, then extended to Issac and Jacob. Ultimately the blessing was connected to Christ who came to bring the two, both Jew and Gentile together. 6: Exactly who is "Abraham's seed"? Physically, anyone descended from him genetically. This would include some of the Arab nations. Spiritually, or redemptively, it is anyone who has believed in Abraham’s seed, Jesus Christ. This again undermines the idea of a distinction between Jew and Gentile. 7: From the beginning, could a Gentile become a Jew? Yes. This required undergoing circumcision and adopting adherence to the Law. With the New Covenant eliminating the need to convert to Judaism, becoming aJew to find God’s favor was no longer necessary. 8: By the Exile, had Abraham's descendants become "Not My People"? Hosea 1:8-9 - When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said, "Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God." 9: What/Who is the fallen tent in Amos 9:11? This was the Davidic kingdom which had been corrupted and ruined by sin. Because God promised David a ruling heir in perpetuity that Kingdom would need to be rebuilt. This is done through Christ who in His rule united Jews and Gentiles as seen in James’s quotation of this verse in Acts 15. 10: Did Jesus indicate that the Kingdom would be taken from the Jews in Matt. 21:43? (Romans 11:20-21) He did based on their failure to produce fruits in keeping with their calling within the Kingdom as seen in verses 33-41. In Romans Paul refers to this action on God’s part as breaking off the natural branches so that the Gentiles could be grafted in. 11: Pastor, what is Replacement Theology? #Israel #jew #gentile #christian #rapture #endtimes #theology #muslim #eschatology #Abraham #seed #God
