“ Great Sermon! ”
Very nice correlating the woman at the well with Israel, but he lies the conundrum: IF a Jew is born again (like Nicodemus & the 12 Apostles, then that means that he or she is part of the Church of Christ just like EVERY born again believer. When you teach that Israel is different from a born again believer, you lose the message of the Gospel. Both a Jew & Gentile can be born again. I do not believe that a Jew is given special treatment to get into heaven, as God gives salvation (HIS GIFT) to every man who believes. Jesus also told Nicodemus in John 3: "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." THAT is the requirement for both Jew and Gentile, so what is this special treatment of the Jews that you keep talking about? I have read Hebrews & I know what it says about restoring Israel, but wasn't Israel restored on May 15, 1948? Are they not given the chance to believe the Gospel and get saved? The BLOOD COVENANT of Christ is for ALL Mankind - both Jew and Gentile. I also believe that the number 5 is the number for GRACE & the number 23 represents death, as it is written. Perhaps I am not understanding you correctly regarding the restoration of Israel. God bless. |
