Jesus acknowledged that the Jews were the descendants of Abraham, but that they weren’t the “children of Abraham” or the “children of God” anymore, but the “children of the devil”. Since Abraham is not their father, but the devil is, the promises that God gave to Abraham of those blessing Abrahams children being blessed does not apply to the Jews. They rejected Christ and are the children of the devil and not Abraham.
In John 8:37 Jesus said “I know you are Abraham’s descendants”.
in vs. 38, “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did.”
In vs 42, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God.
In vs 44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.“
These people were only the "COA" by joining the Israeli nation. In no way could you be a "COA" when you didn't join the Jewish nation before Christ.
The Jews were descended from Abraham and Jacob. The biological descendants of Jacob had a covenant from God. The Jews claimed they were the "COA" because of there biological descent. Jesus said they weren't and instead the children of the devil because they didn't believe in him. Therefore the covenant given to "COA" doesn't belong to them anymore.
They were the "COA", but had a different set of covenants and blessings than the bloodline of Jacob. If they don't believe in Jesus, then they aren't the "COA" anymore.
Jews are the "children of the devil" and not messianic according to God HIMSELF. Get that in your head. The promise land doesn't belong to them. If the Jews become Christian, it still won't because there is no "ethnic" separation in Christianity.
"COA" as an abbreviation is your own invention, nobody uses it, it makes you look even sillier as you don't realize you're inventing it.
Naaman the Syrian. Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 4).
So you're agreeing with me that different races have different covenants. And Ishmael's land covenant seems to be alive and kicking, despite their rejection of Jesus (1-2 billion Muslims). I wonder why you don't think Israel's land covenant is. You somehow think that the blessings to Jacob were all one (spiritual and national) rather than divisible into ordinary biological and spiritual open to all (as the OT regularly shows).
You still haven't answered how the covenant worked before Abraham. Seems like before then the spiritual covenant was available to all too.
Only said to a handful of Jews by another Jew who had a million Jewish followers that century and another million Jewish followers right now who call themselves Messianic and worship Jesus. Sounds like you want to make a comment to a single crowd applicable as a national cursing to tens of millions of people indefinitely.
You finally drop your endgame. You believe Jewish Christians have no greater right to the Holy Land than Gentile Christians. Well, I don't argue eschatology, but it seems that in the end where all Christians are agreed then there would be no reason to forbid the Jewish Christians from carrying out their Hebrew culture in the Holy Land any more than we would forbid Chinese Christians from carrying out Chinese culture in China.
Work on that covenant prior to Abraham and see if you're not excluding people that God doesn't exclude.
Wow, violation of rule 1 right here.
He wasn’t a COA.
Ishmael had no land covenants. The current state of Islamic countries being mostly 2nd world has nothing to do with Gods’ covenant.
Never had a million Jewish followers the first century and Jewish culture is based off people who don’t believe in God and are “children of the devil”. Christians are a small minority of Jews right now, so Jewish culture is based on being the “COD”.
The Jews aren’t the “COA”, so they don’t have any right to the land. Simple as that.
You're free to report me. Describing your appearance after repeated evidence of illogic is a bit different from attacking your person.
The point of the text is that Naaman, and Nebuchadnezzar, and others, worshipped the God of Israel as sole power, and were accounted faithful for that reason. They were not told that they had no power to enter the covenant due to race, which would be racist. Let me know when you figure out how people before Abraham, and Gentiles before Christ, could enter into the covenant, because if you don't figure it out you have a racist Christianity that isn't available to whomsoever wills. How could Noah find favor in God's eyes if he was going to hell for not being Jewish?
The covenant to the “COA” didn’t apply to them because they aren’t jewish descendants. How many times do I have to say the same thing over and over and over again.
