Yes I have been saying this for years, a spiritual Isreal, that is the only way when Paul says all Isreal will be saved makes any senseThe Body of Christ is Israel — the true people of God, born not of bloodlines, but of the Spirit.

Hi thanks for the replyYou agreed that the seed is Christ — great. That’s what Galatians 3:16 says.
But then you drifted right back into Scofield-speak, talking about “outward Jews,” “temporal things,” and “representing” Abraham — all while sidestepping Paul’s plain point: only those in Christ are heirs. Period.
Your response almost sounds like a riddle from a Gnostic fortune cookie. But the Gospel isn’t vague. It’s not some mystical puzzle.
Paul didn’t say, “the seed is an invisible spiritual pattern that can represent various stages of collective awakening.”
He said: “The seed is Christ.”
And he didn’t say, “If you’re ethnically Jewish, or spiritually poetic, or loyal to Hebrew concepts, you might be in.”
He said: “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed.” (Galatians 3:29)
That’s it. That’s the Gospel.
Doesn’t matter if you’re Jew or Gentile — you’re not in without Christ.
Period. The End.
Thank you Nick, for understanding and taking the trouble to see where I am coming from. Just to clarify, my comment about looking for a "True Jesus Christ Group of Real Christians" is about Truth, and you covered that perfectly : ) LindaLot to digest here, and to ask Sister.
What would a "True Jesus Christ Group of real Christians" in your eyes look like?
Like the Body of Christ, they are located in different places/countries if you will, and as varied in how they see what this topic of this thread should be treated and how they communicate, dare I say their displeasure. Some are a bit more forceful in how they express themselves, and I'm not excusing them. Especially since your question was not even posed to them who answered you!
The best you can do is to communicate back to them in a way that opens communication and does not close it, as they have done. If it were up to me some of them could use a good paddling with what we used to call a board of education. Not that I think they'd change much but hopefully they would think twice before talking as they do to another Brother or Sister in Christ Jesus.
Some do try, but have short fuses, and respond accordingly. I usually suggest those types to read the Love Chapter in 1 Corinthians 13
It can put a lot of things in perspective.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

I'm saddened by the self-righteousness, intolerance of others, and plain rudeness of people on this site (calling people trolls, ignorant etc ... I could retaliate, and have decided not to, because this is a site of JESUS, and he said "forgive them Father as they know not what they do" comes to mind. I am surprised that this rudeness is acceptable though : (Brad, your joy in condemning others is so obvious that nothing more really needs to be said. But just what "road" is it that you think you are heading down "to be a judge"? (And have you bought your cardinal red robes yet?)
Oh the folly that you think you would ever be qualified to be this "judge".
Yes, I am lazy. That's why I decided to learn Koine Greek so I could read the New Testament in its original language. Because I'm lazy. And that's why I've done extensive study into church history, because I'm lazy. And why I've taken college courses on the Roman Empire at Moravian Seminary, because I'm lazy. And that's why I hold a patent on office equipment (and a personal individual patent, not some corporate owned monstrosity) because that's what lazy people do. As to my walk with Christ, I would not deign to even discuss it with you.
So quick you are to quote 1 Cor. 6:12 and yet so blind to stumble over (or disregard) chapter 4:
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.- 1 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV
So to the extent of this exchange, it is less than a very small thing that I should be judged of you, and you should deal with your own log.

Dear Rhema, to clear up any misunderstanding, my comment is a general one, where I have found many "Christians" on this site, being demeaning, rude, and intolerant with their "discussions". When I read through the comments, I am appalled, sorry ... this is my opinion, and if the perpetrators who are treating each other meanly ("use your brain" and worse) is me being too sensitive, then this is not the Jesus Group that I would be proud to be part of.

I don't really understand Matthew 11:12?I would think the forgive them as they know not what they do.
The forgiveness must come through the gospel God does not forgive men just because they do not know what to do .
The violent or those moved by the faith of Christ take it by force.
Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
