When the Lord returns the only Christians on planet will be the remnant of Israel that is saved as the rest of the planet will be utterly uninhabitable.
Huh? Please explain that. What about all those who will convert during that seven years? They would be called Christians too. What you say makes no sense.
I also question who "Israel" mentioned really is. That remnant is not who you think. It ain't Jews, sorry. You either accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour, or you perish, period.
Jews WISH they would be saved without Jesus, but that ain't happening. I realize some churchianity preachers are tossing around this idea, but it's just a misinterpretation. The real Israel that is being talked about is believers, Christians. Here's why...
You claim like churchianity that "a remnant" will be saved, but that flys in the face of the verse that says "so all Israel shall be saved".
Wait, ALL Israel? I thought it was a remnant. Then somebody must be wrong about who, or rather, which Israel is being talked about. I say that Israel are Christians, not Jews. ALL believers will be saved. We are Jews inwardly, not outwardly like His people Israel, the Hebrews. They wash the outside of the cup, while the REAL Israel are clean on the inside and are saved because we accept Jesus as Messiah.
When Jesus returns, who do you think looks on Him in mourning and shock? Those who pierced Him, the Jews. They WILL mourn because at that time they realize they seriously messed up! It is then that the Jewish people realize that they killed their Saviour.
We are the ones that God fulfills His promises with, not the Jews. They had their chance under the Law. They failed.
All Israel WILL be saved. Like churchianity, you're thinking the wrong Israel.
Churchianity leaven is a disease that is tickling the ears of those who are too impatient to wait on God to tell them the truth.
I'm telling you right now, that leaven has crept in here among some who post on this site. The Lord rebuke that lying spirit.
Like FervorForFaith mentioned, it matters not seeing striving about the law is indeed unprofitable and vain, as we ARE saved. Thank you Jesus!
"How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?" Matthew 16:11 (KJB)
