The question of "who are the people of God today?" has long been a controversial one, and today it is as contentious as it has ever been.
Seemingly every few days there is a flare up between neoconservatives and dispensationalist-influenced evangelicals on one side and the online right and traditional Protestants (and Catholics) on the other.
Just this past week, the subject of the term "Judeo-Christian" was the source of a considerable amount of vitriol (and inevitable talking past one another to score points).
In this book, which has long been promised to you, I lay out what the New Testament actually says, how the covenantal relationship between God and His people developed and was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
I am not deluded enough to think this will be the final word on the question, but hope that at least I can contribute clarity to a subject of tremendous confusion, and in such a way that sheds light on the subject rather than simply more heat.
If you want to examine a biblical case for why Christ and those united to Him are the Chosen People of God, please read.

"Raising rates on the minority who pay fares" is the entire American system in a microcosm.
Representation without taxation means the few who do pay for everything have greater and greater burdens placed upon them.
It is not a sustainable system longterm.
This doesn't mean the net taxpayers will "rise up" and cast it down, either (lol).
It probably means things just collapse into something like Brazil or South Africa.
This is the future unless we effectively pursue radical changes.
A new report from Washington, D.C., finds "64% of bus riders still do not pay fares," which is threatening the sustainability of the city's public transportation.
D.C.'s solution? An 11 percent fare hike for those who do pay.
@malmesburyman Yes. Anything they want to pass right now will need a veto-proof majority, so they won’t use it until 2029 at the earliest.
Unless they want to pass tons of stuff like the “free chocolate milk for everyone act” which Trump vetoes, just to make him look as awful as they can.
@CSandbatch Cyrus Scofield was, yes, born in Michigan, but lived in TN later in his childhood and fought for the Confederacy.
Not exactly Southern, but not a typical Yankee, either. Really a man without a country. Kind of the perfect origin story for a charlatan and huckster.
Anyone who thinks like this needs to be flushed out of politics. If you hold power and are not thinking of ways and enacting actions to enrich your allies from day one, then you don't deserve power at all. The people willing to vote for you should not be suffering financially.
She's such a breath of fresh air. This is a competent, charismatic, and extremely capable woman who is nevertheless completely devoted to her husband and his mission. No girl bossing "ego", even though she's more qualified to have it than most of the female political commentators. She does what she does for fun. Devoted to her man not her career.
You might find it strange that Massie would advocate for DeSantis, who backed the Iran war and signed antisemitism laws in Israel.
Important to remember that politics is personal. Massie and DeSantis both get along and have their issues with Trump. Ideology is an afterthought.
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom bans sales of certain "muscle-building supplements" to Californians under 18, potentially including whey protein & creatine.
About a month before he was assassinated, Charlie Kirk sat down with Tucker Carlson (safe to watch for Tucker haters-- Israel isn't mentioned) and gave an extraordinarily perceptive interview where he talked about the debt and broader economic crisis facing young Americans, and how it was radicalizing them and would lead to crushing defeat for the GOP if we didn't address it.
I have been thinking about this interview very frequently since the midterms, when so many our young voters either stayed home or defected.
On this, as in so many other things, Charlie, who knew our young voters better than anyone, was wise and prophetic.
“I’ll die on that hill, I’ll defend this generation," Charlie said.
Tragically, He did die on that hill, and it's incumbent on us to heed his message so that his death was not in vain.
Some spaz lefty freak breaking an irreplaceable heirloom due to complete disregard and lack of seriousness. I wonder if that’s a metaphor for anything?
