: All must come to Jesus Christ for salvation regardless of their physical heritage (Jn. 14:6). Under the New Covenant God does not recognize distinctions between Gentile and Jew (Gal. 3:26-27). Israel blew it under the Old Covenant and rejected God. The only Israel that is under covenant with God today are those who come through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Referring to Gentile believers Peter wrote "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
: Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy" (1 Pet. 2:9-10). The only Israel God recognizes is spiritual Israel. Bloodlines mean absolutely nothing to God, what is important to God is that we all come into covenant with the God Man Jesus Christ.

Hi Barry,
I am sure that you will agree with this excerpt from a pastor. You will find my response below it - for you and the Protestant pastor, but written to the Rabbi. You have made the common error of believing what you have been taught and then having to twist the meaning of Jesus' words to justify what you believe.
From a Protestant pastor:
>>Firstly let us examine my words:
>>If the Jews had somehow earned the title 'God's Chosen People'
>>it would be different. The history of the race in one of ignominious
>>idolatry and spiritual whoredom. Even when Moses was getting
>>the Law on Sinai they danced around a golden calf.

Hi Abe,
By their own words, they stand accused.
What makes me laugh is the claims that because God promised to graft us
into a branch of real Israel - that makes them real Jews, but their
fruits are from a bad tree. They are trying to do the opposite of what
God said. They want to graft the Jews into Christianity, aka "Spiritual
Israel." They also claim the promises that God made to real Israel, now
belong to "Spiritual Israel."
"Spiritual Israel," tries to appear to be a loving, spiritual chosen
people, but then blasphemes God with attempts to convert the REAL Chosen
People into believing that they are damned - that only "Spiritual
Israel" is saved.
This is how Christians from the Synagogue of Satan justified the
slaughter of Jews down through the centuries with crusades, inquisitions
and the Holocaust, "convert - or be damned."
Well, when REAL Israel was "born again", "Spiritual Israel" had alot of
trouble justifying replacement theology - so the Protestants kept
pointing at the REAL bad guys, the Roman Catholics, and accused them of
the Holocaust, pretending that the Reformation "saved" the Protestants
from Mystery Babylon, the great harlot who sat on the 7 hills of Rome.
Pretending? Luther WAS the German anti-Semite whose fruits had produced
both Protestantism and the Holocaust - so it is like the pot calling the
kettle black.
Now at this time, they claim that theirs is NOT replacement theology
-"it's just that Jesus said that if you don't believe IN HIS NAME, that
you are condemned to an eternal hell of fire and brimstone hehehehe."
But the Serpent will get the last laugh on them, for they truly believe
that the Catholic Church is the Mother of harlots, "Mystery Babylon"
She is a harlot, but the Bible clearly states that "spiritual Israel" is
Mystery Babylon - the Synagogue of Satan, the adulteress, the harlot
whose cup is full of abominations etc. etc.
It is "spiritual Israel" who is the whore of Babylon.. From the
beginning in the
Garden, man has had a choice between the true and the false. These sons
of Cain say aloud, "Oh, God didn't really mean what he said, you have
mis-interpreted Scripture - He really meant this. A covenant made
FOREVER doesn't really mean forever..." The very same lie that the
Serpent told Eve - "God didn't really mean that you would surely
die..."
Throughout the ages, these sons of the serpent have killed the prophets
and martyred the faithful and have claimed to be Spiritual Jews, but
continue to say something a REAL Jew would never say, "We are saved, all
others are lost, we are the bride - the Lord is our bridegroom "
EXACTLY what Mystery Babylon says, "I sit a queen, I am no widow and
shall see no sorrow."
By calling themselves "spiritual Israel, they have damned themselves."
The Bible says that the Capital of Spiritual Israel iS Spiritual
Jerusalem, the city of 7 hills, aka spiritually as Sodom and Egypt.
Check it out!
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the Synagogue of Satan, WHICH SAY
THEY ARE JEWS AND ARE NOT, but do lie: behold, I will make them to
come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
God divorced Spiritual Israel and gave the promises to the REAL Israel,
the Chosen People - those faithful ones whom He could could trust. This
IS His New Bride - the REAL Israel, composed of REAL people.. God
called Abraham out of Babylon to start a new nation. And God made
promises to a real Abraham - and to Abraham's real seed. One of the many
promises state that they, His faithful ones, His Chosen People, will
become a nation of priests and will be a beacon to the rest of a world
which has repeatedly chosen the black light of Lucifer.
And doesn't any honest Christian already admit that the Jews have been a
light to the world since that day? Think about it. Our Bible, our
Saviour, the Apostles the non-pagan parts of our beliefs...are Jewish.
I could go on and on.
That is why their Messiah ben David, our King of kings and Lord of
lords, will dwell with them in REAL ISRAEL, a real nation that has been
"born again."
Imagine - an entire nation is about to receive their reward for
faithfullness, and we have been privileged to witness it! That is where
I wanted to be grafted in - where I can taste the fruit from the REAL
TREE OF LIFE.
