"For KML....thanks for
all your work!"
Hi KML.....Oh, I absolutely agree with
you that replacement theology is totally wrong. However,
you apparently didn't read very carefully the information I
sent. One has to have "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" how
God has planted clues for us all through scripture so we would
have to search out His "bottom line" of salvation. It is
for ALL....it is to make of the Church AND Israel "one new
man"....Ephesians 2:15. In the end, ALL, both Jews and
Gentiles become saved through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is no other way. There is not one plan for the
Jews and another for the Church. It's just that God works
with them at different times....the Jew first, and then the
Gentile....and then back to the Jews again.
Right now, during the age of grace (faith only) it is for the
Gentiles, but Jews can also be saved into the Church (Messianic
Jews). When "grace" is over (after the rapture.! ..that's
the deadline), God goes back to working with the Jews again (but
Gentiles will be able to be saved during that time as well). But
during this time, the "church" age is over. During EITHER
time, anyone can be saved through the finished work of Jesus
Christ only. After the rapture, salvation is the same as
Old Testament salvation...faith and works (see James
2:17). After the rapture, people will SEE that God's word
is truth....and therefore, salvation won't be totally by faith
alone any more.

Perhaps this link will explain this more simplistically....
You are wonderful to have taken so much time, thought, and
effort to put all that information down for me. I really
appreciate your effort.
YsiC,
Arlene
