LA-girl:
Please address what I've actually said. I don't care to defend remarks and statements I have not made.
You write: 'THE BIBLE SAYS: For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him. Rom. 10. 12.'
In another place the Bible says: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
When the Bible says that, it's talking about there being no distinction as far as salvation. If there is literally no such thing as Jew or Gentile, then also there is literally no such thing as male or female. Neither statement is true. Both are equally absurd. We know that both Jews and Gentiles really exist. We know that both males and females really exist. We open ourselves to error when we take figurative Bible passages literally and literal passages (such as those that speak of the nation Israel) figuratively.
You write: 'God does not distinguish between races or nations!" You are correct. Where salvation is concerned there is no distinction between races or nations. But in my postings I was not addressing the issue of salvation. I was discussing literal, earthly promises God made to literal, earthly Israel (Jews).
You write: 'God does not have one method of salvation for Jews and a different one for non-Jews.' I never said He did.
Shalom,
