Show me the Scripture where God made a New Covenant with the Church. He didn't, Paul explained it to us and I showed it to you that we Gentiles are grafted into Israel's Covenant. It's not my problem you won't believe it.

The Church is just as important to Christ as His chosen people Israel. We who are in Christ take a back seat to no one, we are those precious jewels He speaks of that He treasures. It's during the 1000 years reign that Israel will be what God intended for them to be. The light of the world...

Here you go! Jeremiah 31:31-34 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land...

I'm saying the New Covenant was made with Israel and we Gentiles are grafted into that Covenant with Israel.

I agree no one will change their minds. But let me share a Biblical fact with you. No Jew was ever saved by the works they did. They were all saved who were saved the same as Abraham and the same as us today, they were justified by Grace through faith. The works that they did were expected...

It's going to be a "in your face" thing for all of you Covenant Theologists that deny Israel their destiny in the calling of God's chosen people.

During this coming 1000 year reign of Christ, Israel will be the premiere nation on earth over all the Gentile nations, as you can see in the OP. The nations that have persecuted Israel in centuries past will become servants of Israel and Israel will rule over them.

Yes, Paul tells us there is no difference in the Greek (Gentile) and the Jew. But when you see Zechariah 8:23 take place in the future during the 1000 year reign you will understand what I'm talking about. "Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall...

It's a matter of salvation, Cathode, I can't pull any punches. I hope you take this in that context, what I'm about to say. If you had been reading and studying your Bible as we Baptists do, I wouldn't have to point this out to you, you would already know it.

What did Paul say? "for you are saved by grace through faith, not of works lest any man should boast." I can't boast because the only thing that saved me was the grace He provided for through faith. Now what about you? Do you have something to boast about that you added to your faith. Let's...

No, you're to indoctrinated to understand. We don't perform the works we do to get saved or to stay saved, all the works were taken care of by Christ to provide Grace, something we don't deserve but He gave it to us anyway through the simple act of believing Him. We work because He gave us...

When you add those works to faith for salvation you are saying the finished work of Christ is not enough. That's when those works cancel out the Grace He worked so hard for us to have.

The RCC would have faired well under the Law of Moses with all those works. It's a shame they haven't realized all those works were fulfilled by Christ. He is the All in All, the only thing we can have our faith in, unless we want those works to cancel out the grace He provided.

That's why I'm a Protestant. I'm of the sort that believes salvation is all of the Lord's work.

You recognized that, right. We Baptists have some good opinions we match from Scripture. We like to study to show ourselves approved unto God, you know, that stuff Paul talks about.

Once in a while we Baptists sing a song called, "Nothing but the Blood of Jesus." I don't think they do that in the RCC.

Yea, I know, a salvation of works. The RCC is renowned for it.

Well, please, let's don't talk about it again. We know the outcome, lol. I wouldn't pick on you if I didn't like you, Cathode. Despite our differences.

Pope Charlie likes his interpretation just fine.

Cathode, we good 'ol Baptist folks believe water baptism is a confession of what took place in the heart when we believed, the regeneration had already taken place when we were water baptized.
