I am NOT a Biblical scholar...just a devout follower of Christ. However, I know there are more Bible verses and quotes from the Saints and Church Fathers that discuss this matter, so hopefully those of you with more information, knowledge, citations, etc. can help fill in this picture more clearly. For example, verses from the Old Testament would be a great addition. I hope in this way, we can reach more confused Christians, Messianic Jews, as well as "those who call themselves Jews, but are not", with this message. There is great blessing and love in this Gospel message that needs to get out.
This subject comes up increasingly often, and given the massive lack of understand and thorough confusion on the subject, especially among western Christians, I thought this deserved its own thread so it can be explored more directly. This subject has weighed heavily on my soul as well, and I think it's time to address this clearly, in plain language.
As I mentioned in the Arab-Israeli thread here (http://christisking.eu/index.php?threads/the-arab-israeli-conflict.10/post-1023), this subject needs further exploration, but I do not wish to side-track that thread, either.
