You fail to address the scripture and instead involve yourself in ad hominem
If you believe what I've posted was ad hominem, file a complaint with forum mgmt.
it is a tactic of those who have no answer and are simply unwilling to receive correction
Actually, it's a practice used to get people to think more clearly about the repeated attempts to get you to walk away, especially when you refuse to engage in adult conversations, and continue ignoring what you're told.

Still not addressing any rebuttal, with yet another example of that type of failure

Here is the desolation

Luke 21:20–28 (KJV 1900) — 20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

It happened a long time ago, and you are not able to deal with it

BTW Adult conversation does not resort to ad hominem in place of reasoned exegesis

Failure to do so, and continue to make the accusation demonstrates that you only seek to manipulate the process.

Mat 25:1-13 WEB 1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

You assume.

I see what your problem is...
you continue to focus on singular passages to justify your opinions.
This is a serious problem.
How much of the Bible have you actually read?
Israel is differentiated from the church at the cross and resurrection.
The original church was entirely Jewish. The original disciples were entirely Jewish.
There were no Gentiles until Acts 8, and 10.

and you still ignore those items in particular item 2 which refutes your claim unbelieving Israel is elect under the New covenant
I ignore your posts when they focus on a single verse to justify an entire doctrine. Absolutely!

Ironically, I never referenced that passage.

I did. it was an argument addressing your comment


"Apparently it never occurred to you that Israel is the elect."


which we now know does not address my position


I noted

2) unbelieving Jews are not elect in the new covenant but blinded and cutoff


Nor did I say anything about Jesus followers in the church.
So you just stated


"Apparently it never occurred to you that Israel is the elect."

for no discernable reason?

The point is if the bible places the elect in the tribulation they are not unbelieving Jews

as Matthew does here

Matthew 24:22 (KJV 1900) — 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened

they were not raptured.


in revelation we read

Revelation 7:9–14 (KJV 1900) — 9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

of those who came from out of the tribulation. They also were not raptured




I see what your problem is...
you continue to focus on singular passages to justify your opinions.
This is a serious problem.
How much of the Bible have you actually read?
This is seriously funny. You have not been able to address a single argument and I have posted a multiplicity of verses refuting your position which you do not address


Israel is differentiated from the church at the cross and resurrection.
The original church was entirely Jewish. The original disciples were entirely Jewish.
There were no Gentiles until Acts 8, and 10.

So what?

We are addressing the end times not the first century

Did you imagine unbelieving Jews are elect under the new covenant?

If not why are speaking of Jewish elect?






I ignore your posts when they focus on a single verse to justify an entire doctrine. Absolutely!
