1 - Read Hosea, the Israelites from the 10 tribes became mixed with pagan Gentiles when God scattered them, told them they weren't a people, and had no mercy on them.

2 -700 years later, the vast majority of descendants of Ephraim couldn't be distinguished from a pagan Gentile.

3 - (Gen 14:18) And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

4 - Regardless of who you think Melchizedek was, or wasn't, the priesthood changed, and therefore, so did the law.

5 - We now live in the new heavens and the new earth.

6 - The old heavens and old earth came to a complete end in 70AD

7 - The law of the spirit filled life in Christ Jesus is what saves people from the law of sin and death.

8- Eternal life is only through faith in Christ Jesus, not the law of sin and death.

9 - Faith in Christ Jesus sets one free from the law of sin and death.

10 - The law of the spirit filled life in Christ Jesus.

11 - The old law (the law of sin and death) has been replaced.

12 - Believers in Christ Jesus are the children of Abraham, they are the children of the free woman (Sarah). Those who try to keep the law, and/or those who claim they are physical descendants of Abraham are the children of Hagar the slave woman.

1 - That's when the Lord rejected Israel and confirmed Judah to remain as a People before the Lord forever. (Psalm 78:67-70)

2 - To signify that the Divine rejection of Israel was forever. (Psalm 78:67-70)

3 - He, Abraham was the priest of the Most High God and not Melchizedek.

4 - And you have made a liar out of Jesus for having said that as long as heavens and earth existed, not a single commandment of the Law would pass away. I think heaven and earth are still around. (Mag. 5:17-19)

5 - I can see where you live. No need to tell me.

6 - But we are back and the Law still exists. So, for me, Jesus was right; for you he was a liar.

7 - And people continue in their sins and dying every day. (Ecclesiastes 7:20) What happened?

8 - First, you made of Jesus a liar and now you want to do the same with God Himself? He said that man cannot live forever. (Gen. 3:22)

9 - But only after heaven and earth pass away. (Mat. 5:17-19) Have they passed away yet? I don't think so.

10 - Is it the same you made a liar out of him? (Mat. 5:17-19)

11 - Have you torn away the page of the Decalogue from your Bible?

12 - Congratulations! You have scored high in the Pauline test of Replacement Theology.

God replaced biblical Judaism by destroying his sanctuary and firing his priests. You have no altar for atonement and you reject God's atonement through his Son.

You have a form of religion for what it is worth.

Today, if person could prove it, a descendent of Ephriam would have no problem being counted in the religion of Judaism, (probably because they are a defeated people). But during the reign of kings this would not be so true. Certainly Ephriam would reject the title of Judah after the rebellion. And you will never be able to make Joshua out to be of Judah. Ephriam's religion was not Judaism. That only came after his complete collapse.

So if a person wanted to be honest then they might think about how it was that Judah replaced Ephriam. And really we have the Kings replacing the Theocracy. Judah replacing Ephriam. The spoken word replacing the Torah. The Levites replacing the Kings. The Christians replacing Judah. The writings of Paul replacing the spoken word. And the Word, Christ replacing messiah.

Did Israel leave its former estate?

"old heavens and old earth" & "new heavens and new earth" is covenantal symbolism. It's not literal.

The old heavens and the old earth (Old Covenant) passed away completely in 70AD. We now live in the new heavens and the new earth (New Covenant).

As a Jew, you should be more aware of OT symbolism.

(Deut 30:19) This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

Or, maybe you think Moses literally had the literal earth and the literal heavens literally witness against the Israelites?

Just looking at ancient Isreal as an outsider it seems that all the same rules applied to that nation as to any other nation past or present. It takes real power to rule. The Judges had power. The Kings had power. The Priests never had any power. They never ruled. Even in the days of Paul the Priests never really ruled.

To make Replacement Theology work takes power. I really don't see Judaism doing a whole lot. I see economics in motion. But on the religious side I'm only seeing complaints. They are interesting complaints. But the problem is they are just complaints.

We could get philosophical. We could use marriage as an example. But who really wants to hear it? Ancient Isreal was married to the God of the Old Testament. We can't do anything with that. The current Replacement people have replaced ancient Israel and that God. I'm glad. Never really cared for that God. He never loved me. Always worrying about His law. I can't do His law. So I replaced it.

You have a form of religion for what it is worth.

And you have rejected the prophets of the Lord by denying God's Word throughout them that no one can make atonement for the sins of another. That every one is responsible for his own sins through God's Law. (Jer. 31:30; Ezek. 18:20) BTW, if you are interested on the role of God's Law I suggest that you read Psalm 119.

You are mixing up Politics with Faith. Ephraim had nothing politically to do with Judah but as Faith was concerned, they had remained of one mind until Jeroboam replaced Judaism with the paganism of the Gentiles. And all because he was afraid that the people would eventually abandon Ephraim and return to Judah. (I Kings 12:27,28)

Judah did not replace Ephraim. That was the "Hand" of God to reject Ephraim and confirm Judah to continue as a People before the Lord forever. (Psa. 78:67-70) That was the Word of God and not the word of Paul to claim replacement of Judaism with his Christianity.

The former state of Israel was Judaism with Judah. They adopted the religion of the Gentiles and remained with it till they could no longer distinguish from the pagans as we have today with the Lost Tribes of Israel.

That's about 10% of Ephraim that succeeded to escape from Assyria and joined Judah in the South. So, the New Covenant was established with those from the House of Israel and all those from the House of Judah. (Jer. 31:31)

One could say that the Magna Carta replaced Theocracy. Thank God for that!

"One could say..." is good for Christians who do not know enough of God's Word to quote properly. The Theocracy was replaced by the last Judge Samuel at the demand of the People that had got tired of Theocracy. (I Sam. 8:5)

1 - Do you think Jews are that stupid not to know that? But the New heaven and new earth aka the New Covenant has been established with the House of Israel and the House of Judah and not with Gentiles. (Jer. 31:31) Nice try though!

2 - Right! But the New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah and not with Gentiles, unless according to Isa. 56:1-8.

3 - And as a Christian, you should be more aware of New Covenant.

4 - This was a message to the Jews through Moses, not to the Gentiles.

5 - Where is your metaphorical spirit of interpretation? You did a show with OT symbolism and now with Deut. 30:19 you are no longer sure? Let me tell you that "To call heaven and earth as witnesses against someone is only an expression to literally mean what one says which ought to be taken seriously.

So I replaced it.

1 - You seem not to be studying your Bible as you should. The priests ruled for more than 500 years during the hegemony of the Hasmonians starting with the Maccabees. And they had more power even than a common king. That's the reason for the insurrection by the Zadokites against the Hasmonians that could not agree that priests should accumulate both positions as kings and priests. That's when the prophecy of Israel as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation had fulfillment. (Exod. 19:6) The Zadokites proved to be too week to fight the Hasmonians and fled to the wilderness of the Negev and turned into the Sect of the Sadducees which eventually got to power only at the time of the Romans.

2 - Do you think I am the only one fighting Replacement Theology? You might want to think again. Conversions of Christians to Judaism show some evidences.

3 - So, the Law has been replaced with what, chaos? What do you guys want to live with, law of the jungle? If the Law was not obeyed no one would be able to live with some peace. You should be thankful for the Law we have brought into almost every country in the world. No one can live without law. I can prove salvation through the Law and you can't without it. Your illusion that someone has paid for your contradictions to the Law, you might want to think again. It is even a demonstration against the Prophets of the Lord. (Jer. 31:30; Ezek. 18:20)

That's about 10% of Ephraim that succeeded to escape from Assyria and joined Judah in the South.

Yes, but the 90% of Israelites from Ephraim that were removed still had the promise.

Remember, Joseph had the birthright blessing. God said Manasseh would be great, and Ephraim would become a multitude of nations.

Also Ezekiel tells us that God would join the stick of Ephraim with the stick of Judah.

So, the New Covenant was established with those from the House of Israel and all those from the House of Judah. (Jer. 31:31)

It's good that you believe that the NC was established. However, I don't know how you can believe the NC was established, but at the same time claim Jesus was not the Messiah.

Who joined the two sticks together?

Who's blood was shed when the NC was made?

1 - Do you think Jews are that stupid not to know that?

You're the one calling Jesus a liar based on the fact that planet earth is no different today than planet earth was 2,000 years ago.

If you understood that "new heavens and new earth" symbolized the New Covenant, than you wouldn't be calling Jesus a liar.

But the New heaven and new earth aka the New Covenant has been established with the House of Israel and the House of Judah and not with Gentiles. (Jer. 31:31) Nice try though!

As I said in my previous post, the Israelite descendants of Ephraim became undistinguishable from pagan Gentiles 700 years after God scattered them, BUT the promise of the NC was still valid.

So when the NC was put in place, the gospel was preached to everyone. The Gentiles became fellow heirs of all the promises. This is how all of Israel became saved.

2 - Right! But the New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah and not with Gentiles, unless according to Isa. 56:1-8.

supra

3 - And as a Christian, you should be more aware of New Covenant.

As a Jew you should accept it, and understand that in the NC there is no difference between Jew and Gentile. Both are one new man in Christ.

4 - This was a message to the Jews through Moses, not to the Gentiles.

Yes I know, my point was to show the symbolism.

5 - Where is your metaphorical spirit of interpretation? You did a show with OT symbolism and now with Deut. 30:19 you are no longer sure?

I am sure, it is you who claimed "the new heaven and new earth" was literal.

Let me tell you that "To call heaven and earth as witnesses against someone is only an expression to literally mean what one says which ought to be taken seriously.

Actually it means two witnesses.

The creation of a new covenant required the establishment of a new heaven and new earth (two witnesses) for the new law.

5 - Who joined the two sticks together?

6 - Who's blood was shed when the NC was made?

1 - But not as a People or kingdom but as part of Judah, the new Israel from the branch of Judah. (Isa. 48:1)

2 - No, Joseph had no longer anything to do with the blessing of the firstborn. The Lord had rejected the Tabernacle of Joseph and to prevent the return of the Tribes to the Land of Israel, He rooted out the Tribal system from the Land of Israel by establishing a new world order of one People in one Kingdom called Judah. (Ezek. 37:22) And, named the New Covenant with the House of Judah and those 10% from the House of Israel. BTW, the Firstborn system had been removed since the day when the Levites replaced the Firstborns of Israel. (Numb. 3:12,41,45)

3 - That's what happened in Ezek. 37:22 and Isa. 48:1.

4 - Jesus or the NT had absolutely nothing to do with the New Covenant of Jer. 31:31. The NT had every thing to do with Paul, not Jesus.

5 - History decreed by the Lord Almighty. That's in Ezek. 37:22)

6 - The blood of the Jews shed during exile in Babylon when for 70 years they had suffered to pay for their sins. (Dan. 9:24-27) During all that time (70 years) there was never a single animal sacrifice and, at the end, the transgression that had caused the exile had finished, their sins had ended and reconciliation had been made for their iniquity and the Everlasting Righteousness had returned. (Dan. 9:24-27)

Keep reading Exk 37

(Ezk 37:24) And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

You know as well as I do that there hasn't been a king in Israel and/or Judah since King Zedekiah.

God said that when the stick of Judah would be joined with the stick of Ephraim, one king would reign over them.

Since you believe the two sticks have been joined together, please tell us who the king was?

(Matt 26:28) for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many.

Jesus shed His blood, which confirmed the covenant.

Jesus became King of kings

7 - The creation of a new covenant required the establishment of a new heaven and new earth (two witnesses) for the new law.

1 - You are the one implying that Jesus was a liar, not me. It happened when I quoted Mat. 5:17-19 that Jesus was saying that no commandment of the Law would pass away as long as heaven and earth existed; and you affirmed that heaven and earth had passed away. Be careful with what you are saying. I would never call a loyal Jew a liar.

2 - You are the one who is calling Jesus a liar, not I. A loyal Jew would never call another loyal Jew a liar. The new heaven and new earth means a "New World Order" with a new Israel in one Kingdom without any more division of tribes.

3 - The New Covenant was with the House of Israel (aka 10% that escaped Assyria) and the House of Judah. One Kingdom without distinction of Tribes. (Ezek. 37:22)

4 - When the NC was put in place, the "New World Order" had been organized with a single kingdom of Israel composed of Judah and 10% of Israel. (Ezek. 37:22)

5 - Why in the "Christ" of Paul, to fulfill the Pauline policy of Replacement Theology? Thank you but no, thanks!

6 - Yes, that's the "New Old Order," according to Ezek. 37:22.

7 - No new Law as Jesus himself confirmed in his parable of the Richman and Lazarus that the only way to escape hell-fire is by listening to "Moses" aka the Law. (Luke 16:31)

& - At least learn how to quote! How can one debate the Bible without Biblical evidences?
