Download or read book Romans 9 11 God s Plan for the Salvation of Ethnic Israel written by Rosealie Robinson and published by Rosealie Robinson. This book was released on 2021-01-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comes from my Masters Dissertation. It is a study of Romans 9-11 that seeks to answer the following question: What is Paul's understanding of ethnic Israel in God's plan for salvation, in light of the coming of Christ? Throughout this study "Israel" means "ethnic Israel." As such, it has a corporate sense whereby it represents certain Jews (the elected people group physically descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whom God made his promises to), that is found within "the nation of Israel." Background details are provided and a summary of the main issues in Romans 9-10:21; 11:13-24, 33-36 are given. An exegesis of Romans 11:1-12 and 25-32 is also carried out. Questions such as Have God's promises to ethnic Israel failed? Is God unjust? Is God immoral? ... are raised and answered. And a reworked interpretation of Paul's metaphors is presented, one that gives an alternative view to "replacement theology." The meaning of "All Israel" is also explained. It will interest any reader who wants to gain more insight into God's plan for ethnic Israel and who may be looking for a fresh interpretation of this passage.

Book excerpt: God's Saved Israel examines identity in the Pauline corpus in terms of how Paul expresses the new identity in Christ in relation to the identity of ancient Israel. In this study, the way in which Paul uses the terms ""Israel,"" ""Israelite,"" and ""Judean"" is approached on the basis of the way in which these terms were used in the second temple period by both insiders and outsiders, rather than presupposing that Paul used it in a different way. By thoroughly engaging with the New Perspective on Paul and the Radical New Perspective on Paul, Paul's conception of identity is pursued mainly along theological-exegetical lines, especially in terms of the contrast between flesh and S/spirit. While Rom 11:26, which points to ""all Israel"" that ""will be saved,"" and Gal 6:16, which points to ""the Israel of God"" who are blessed, are often utilized in a paradigmatic way to interpret the rest of Paul, the approach in this book is the other way around. These two texts are approached by first assessing Paul's conception of identity in the whole of the Pauline corpus and then by interpreting Rom 11:26 and Gal 6:16 with a larger understanding of identity in Paul at hand. ""Written as a dissertation for Stellenbosch University in South Africa, this is a magisterial study of Romans 11:26 (and Galatians 6:16), which surveys each of our interpretative options and offers a creative and convincing solution. Every advanced study of Paul's theology and his letter to Rome must make this monograph required reading."" --Gary M. Burge, Calvin Theological Seminary ""Philip La Grange Du Toit's robustly exegetical study of a long-standing crux is a breath of fresh air in the midst of the pedestrian oversimplification emanating from all too many theological camps. Instead of trying to find what isn't there in the text, Du Toit starts with the exegesis of the text and then in clear and simple language explains who the Israel of God is based on the teaching of the apostle Paul. If you're looking for an informed discussion of a seemingly endless debate, then this book is for you."" --David Alan Black, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Scholars interested in Pauline rhetoric and theology, identity studies, as well as Judaism, Hellenism, and early Christianity, will find here a range of theological topics and semantically important terminologies to critically engage within their own research."" --Gert J. Steyn, Theologische Hochschule Ewersbach, Germany ""This book challenges the mistaken idea that God's promises to OT Israel have to be fulfilled in a future restoration of physical Israel. The author shows that these promises have been fulfilled in Christ and have been made available to all nations, including Israel, from which he gathers in his church. As such, the book contributes to the debate in the Christian world about the relationship between Israel and the church."" --Steven Paas, author of Christian Zionism Examined Philip La G. Du Toit is Senior Lecturer in New Testament at North West University, South Africa. He is the author of various scholarly articles and conference papers of the New Testament.

Book excerpt: A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Book excerpt: rom Genesis to Revelation (Gen 12:3; Rev 21:1-2, 10-12; 22:2) the nation Israel plays a central role in God's plan of salvation for the world. Many today believe that the Christian Church has been formed mostly of gentiles (i.e. non-racial Israelites), and that they have replaced racial Israelites as a new spiritual Israel (Gal 6:15-16). On the other hand, many of the same people who believe this, also hold that the Jews in the state of Israel today are still God's chosen people, and that they will yet play a significant role when the Messiah returns a second time."A Study in Romans 11" examines the eleventh chapter of Romans to shed light upon the true Israel of God (Gal 6:16) today.Though this book consists of a mere 50 pages, its content is so clear and well organized that it offers the result of what might be expected in a much larger volume.
Download or read book Israel Her Calling and Purpose written by Mark Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romans 9-11 are not dealing with God pre-determinatively calling individual Jews and Gentiles to salvation, but with the place of the nation of Israel in God's plan of salvation [Romans 9:1-5]. These chapters answer why the gospel is to be to the Jew first [Romans 1:16], why the nation of Israel's unbelief doesn't thwart God's plan [Romans 3:3-4], why Paul was willing to be accursed for Israel [Romans 9:3], and why he implored Gentile believers to bring the gospel to Jewish people that some might be saved [Romans 11:12-15]. Rev. Mark Robinson looks at these chapters verse by verse in a helpful commentary that will bring light to some difficult chapters.
Download or read book All Israel Shall Be Saved written by Joel Zao and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul’s foundational letter to the Romans is placed within the commonly accepted scripture structure as the initial letter from one of the apostles to the churches in the first century, BC. Paul, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus, was by his own account one of the most prominent Jewish scholars, thoroughly versed in the history of his nation, as well as the particulars of the Law of Moses. In the early days of church history, immediately following the crucifixion and ascension of Jesus Christ, Saul of Tarsus was one of the fiercest opponents of the sect known as Christians, initially known by that name in the ancient city of Antioch. The Lord dramatically saved Saul as he approached Damascus in Syria with orders from the Jewish Sanhedrin to capture and return Christians for trial in Jerusalem. Knocked to the ground, and blinded, Jesus instructed him to continue on to Damascus to be prayed for by a Christian, Ananias, at which time he would recover his sight, receive his new name, and begin his new career as the apostle to the nations. Paul was perfectly suited to fulfill his new role. His letter to the Romans laid out the basic doctrines of faith for all believers. In Chapters 9-11, of which this manuscript describes, Paul provides a detailed status report on Israel, including their temporary fall from grace, followed by the wondrous time when they will return to God when All Israel Shall be Saved.

Book excerpt: All my books can be read online for free at wayneodonnell.com. Mt. 10:8, “Freely you have received, freely give.” This booklet is included in and comprises of one section of my book “Predestination is to Glory not to Faith: Anti-Calvinism & Reformed Theology; Pro-Certainty of Sanctification & Glorification; In Romans 8, Romans 9, & John 6." As in Romans 8, we were predestined to glorification, not to faith or unbelief; so in Romans 9, Israel was predestined to glorification, not to faith or unbelief. The best way to demonstrate this is by Paul’s examples of the adversaries Pharaoh and Moses. Despite the unscriptural claims of Calvinists, Pharaoh wasn’t hardened about believing in God or the gospel. Over and over the scripture makes it clear that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart about not letting his people go. “I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go,” Ex. 4:21. See also Ex. 7:14; 8:32; 9:7; 10:20, 27; 11:10, etc. And God didn’t harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he would go to hell, but so that once Pharaoh had made his decision not to let Israel go, he wouldn’t give in too soon due to weakness or aversion to pain, so that God could complete all ten plagues and destroy the mightiest army in the world of that time in the sea, so that all the world would hear of it. “I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt, ... so that I can lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments,” Ex. 7:3-4. See also Ex. 10:1-2, 7; 9:1; 14:4, 17. And in our passage, “Even for this same purpose I have raised you [an unbeliever] up [to be Pharaoh], so that I could show my power in you, and so that my name would be declared throughout all the earth,” Rm. 9:17. In contrast to Pharaoh, Moses accomplished something that wasn’t predestined at all, through his free-will choice. When Israel sinned by worshipping the golden calf, Moses interceded, and was granted mercy for them. But then Moses went beyond even that, and asked to see God’s glory as a gracious favor, and was also granted that request. “[Moses] said, ‘I beseech you, show me your glory.’ And [the LORD] said, ‘I will make all my goodness pass before you, ... and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy,’” Ex. 33:18-19. God knows beforehand which vessels are destined for eternal glory and which are destined for eternal shame. And it isn’t unrighteous of him in his providential control to make use of both kinds of vessels in his plans during our time on earth. He formed a man like Pharaoh who is destined for eternal shame into a vessel to rule Egypt so his name would be magnified in the earth at the time of Israel’s national birth. And he gives men like Moses and us experiences that help “fit” (Rom. 9:22) and “prepare” (Rom. 9:23) us for even more glorification. “Our light affliction [light compared to the weight of glory], which is but for a moment [a moment compared to the eternal glory], produces for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,” 2 Cor. 4:17. Flowers (Non-Calvinist), ”Would anyone dare adopt or seek to defend this most troubling doctrine [of reprobation] if not for the perceived defense offered by the apostle in Romans 9?” Pink (Calvinist), “It is a remarkable and telling phenomenon that those who find no individual predestination to eternal life in Rom 9:6-13 cannot successfully explain the thread of Paul’s argument as it begins in Rom 9:1-5 and continues through the chapter.” Berkouwer (Calvinist), “Every hesitation about or hidden resistance against the sovereign freedom of God, every form of indeterminism which defends man's cooperation against the divine act, will suffer shipwreck on Romans 9.” We shall see.

Book excerpt: John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost consciously seeks to "justify the ways of God to men." The Apostle Paul's magisterial letter to the Romans does not so much intend to defend God's ways as to declare God's Word--a Word made public in the gospel. In Romans 9-11 this declaration occurs within the context of God's troubled relationship with Israel, both past and future. God and Israel traces the ways in which providence and purpose are realized as God's Word to and about Israel in Romans 9-11. Written by gifted and tested Pauline interpreters, the volume offers a fresh reading of this vexed and vexing part of Paul in the context of Romans and the Pauline witness. God and Israel squarely tackles the questions of Paul's understanding of salvation-historical time (L. Ann Jervis); the faithfulness and sovereignty of the covenantal God (Michael Wolter); Paul's mythic rhetoric of "ingrafting" (Davina C. Lopez); the disputed relation between Israel and her "enemies," the gentiles (J. Ross Wagner); the role of Christ in God's purposes and his relation to the nation of Israel (Simon Gathercole); and, finally, the unfailing eschatological hope for Israel's full inclusion (Jonathan A. Linebaugh). If only simple solutions are sought for the challenges Paul's gospel and his letters pose, frustration will result. But if readers follow the Apostle to the Gentiles as he wrestles with ultimate questions of God's purposes in his own anguish over kith and kin, then wisdom will be found.
