How about Romans 11?
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Is that what is written in the Hebrew bible?
What is written in the Hebrew bible is this -
Isaiah 20:And a redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who repent of transgression in Jacob, says the Lord.
Read it carefully and then please explain to me how this is not twisted scripture.
I would like to know what you think why Moses covered his face.
Because you posted in the Counter-Missionary-Forum, allow me the question: Which missionary is hunting you this time?
You could find something good in Romans 11. For example where Paul sends a warning to the Gentile Christians in Rome: Boast not against the branches (meaning Israel) . But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
That could be someting to cheer you up, if you only wanted to see positive things.
Some weeks ago I became interested in the prophecies about Israel. There must be dozens or even hundrets of them. One or two verses can't show the whole picture. And who am I to understand the timeline?
All over the New Testament you see that repentence comes first and then salvation. In my opinion, Pauls statement can only mean that there will be a time when all Israel will repent, perhaps when Ezekiel 39 will occure.
