I've finally found a succinct summary of the position I have been developing on Christian Identity. It turns out that Spurlock from Bereans Online has already beaten me to it and saved me a lot of time:
- Eph 2:1-10 Gentiles become a part of Israel by grace and faith.
- Eph 2:11-12 Are no longer Gentiles. Not "commonwealth" but citizenship enjoying the full rights and benefits of any other member of Israel.
- Eph 2:13 Ex-Gentiles have been brought near
- Eph 2:14-16 The dividing well having been removed by Christ. Spurlock refers to the "18 measures." What are they?
- Eph 2:17-21 Peace not just between God and Mankind but also peace within the house of God.
- Eph 3:1-6 Thus the ex-Gentiles are part of the same body, fellow heirs with the incumbent members and partakers of the same promises.
If this is true, then even more questions arise, here's one or two:
- If all believers are to obey the Torah, then what are we to do with 1 Corinthians 7:17-24?
- Should all Christians be making Aliyah?
- Where should Christians then stand on the Middle Eastern peace process?
