It was in reference to you not understanding how God could remove tares from national Israel the way he can from the world.
The parable says to leave them until after the harvest.
We now have tares living among the wheat in the world(kosmos). They will be living in the world until after the harvest. Matters not if the tares are living down the street, on a South Pacific Island, in the Church, or in national Israel.
None of them will be removed until after the Harvest. I would assume the harvest will come after the restoration of national Israel.
Again, I'm not saying you have to believe all this but you deny that it's a real belief. That's another problem I have with you.
You have over the years denied that my beliefs are real. I can't deny what I believe. I'm not asking you to believe what I believe. Just give me the respect I give you about your beliefs.
Is that what you have been trying to say all this time?
Your last few posts have attributed to me things I never said, and do not believe I inferred. That could easily be explained by the fact that I didn't know what you were talking about. If you previously made the above statement, prior to my informing you that I had given up, I certainly missed it. I suppose I should apologize for not reading you mind, if that is indeed of what am guilty. If you made clear that the above was what you were attempting to show from scripture, then I apologize for my failure to comprehend.
BTW, I am aware the belief that a literal restoration of Israel must necessarily precede the end of the Age. I do not recall having discussed that belief with you. I'm sure that, at this point, you realize that, having not known what you believe, I could not have denied your belief.
