And, no Conservative Christian (Fundamentalist) will ever deny or reject the teachings found in the Four Gospels; for they bring us the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ -- His love for us, His plan for us, His will for us -- and the Good News that He is coming again one day, in the clouds, to take His church out of this world. Then, through the Tribulation, He will refine the remnant of His chosen people, Israel. And, He will return again, His Second Coming, to establish His Millennial Reign on earth, He is bringing the Kingdom of God back to rule for one thousand years, the perfect theocracy ruled from the throne of David in Jerusalem. Finally, He will take all believers into eternity, there to live with God forever.
Count me a non-conservative if to be one I must buy into the wackatory notion that Christ is relapsing into a plan for the Jews that is nowhere described in Scripture and that is, in fact, contradicted by Scripture. God is not the author of confusion.
Hi Beter,
Check in Genesis and you will find that God made a covenant with Abraham -- and God does not break a covenant. The Jewish people ARE His chosen people -- and the Tribulation is for their sake. That is why, in Daniel, it is called the Time of Jacob's Trouble.
There is no way that the church has replaced Israel as His chosen people. We are His CHURCH, His Bride -- not His Chosen People.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
