Proposition #1: The Church Of Jesus Christ Embraces Both Jews And Gentiles As Part Of The Messianic Kingdom. The Messianic Kingdom Includes Jewish And Gentile Believers As Citizens On An Equal Basis. 3: How do different eschatological perspectives (premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism) influence the understanding of the Church's relationship to the Kingdom of God? Does this Proposition support or challenge specific eschatological views? It does challenge eschatological views when there is a distinction made between Israel and the church. Premillennialism typically sees the two as separate entities in spite of what Christ is said to have done. “Dispensationalism one variety of premillennialism has a commitment to a literal interpretation of prophetic scripture resulting in three well known tenants. [1] A distinction between the prophecies made about Israel in the Old Testament and the church in the New Testament must be maintained.” (Progressive dispensationalists agree on this point. Four Views on the Book of Revelation. Dispensationalists typically see the Jews/Israel as a separate set of God's people distinct throughout the present and the future or at least till the end of the millennium with God having a separate plan for both. Conversely Scripture always portrays the two as being united in Christ as one people. Amillennialists take a view much more consistent with proposition 1. 4: Was Abraham a Jew? No. “The term Jew is a derivative of Judah the fourth son of Jacob and the dominant last surviving tribe of Israel. The Hebrew term meant “man of Judah,” and that term is first used in the Bible in 2 Kings 16:6. After the exile the term Jew came to be used for anyone descended from these people regardless of other considerations. Mordecai is identified as both a Jew and a descendant of Benjamin in Esther 2:5.” Oxford Companion To The Bible. 5: Was God's promises of a land, a seed, and a blessing given to Abraham alone? Was it Abraham that was called and no other? Initially it was given to Abraham, then extended to Issac and Jacob. Ultimately the blessing was connected to Christ who came to bring the two, both Jew and Gentile together. SEND US YOUR QUESTIONS!
