To say that there's a promise in Scripture that's for Israel but not for the church is contrary to the teaching of the New Testament. All of God's covenant promises are to spiritual Israel and Christians are spiritual Israel.
๐Ÿ/๐Ÿ”

Being ethnically Jewish does not make someone a true, spiritual Israelite:

ยฒโน No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code.

(Romans 2:29a NIV)
๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ”

Christians are the true circumcision:

ยณ For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the fleshโ€”

(Philippians 3:3 NIV)
๐Ÿ’/๐Ÿ”

Gentile Christians are no longer excluded from citizenship in Israel:

ยนยฒ remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world....
๐Ÿ“/๐Ÿ”

ยนยณ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

(Ephesians 2:12-13 NIV)
๐Ÿ”/๐Ÿ”

Christians are the Israel of God:

ยนโถ Peace and mercy to all who follow this ruleโ€”to the Israel of God.

(Galatians 6:16 NIV)

1) Should Calvin have checked with these guys before writing this?:

"He offered as a sacrifice the flesh he received from us, that he might wipe out our guilt by his act of expiation and appease the ๐‘ญ๐’‚๐’•๐’‰๐’†๐’“โ€™๐’” righteous wrath."

Calvin wrote in his Institutes:

"For we could not believe with assurance that Christ is our redemption, ransom, and propitiation unless he had been a sacrificial victim." (2.16.6, Battles trans.)
2/12: The Latin text, with Calvin's own Greek interpolation, reads:

Neque enim certo confidere possemus, Christum esse แผ€ฯ€ฮฟฮปฯฯ„ฯฯ‰ฯƒฮนฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผ€ฮฝฯ„ฮฏฮปฯ…ฯ„ฯฮฟฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผฐฮปฮฑฯƒฯ„ฮฎฯฮนฮฟฮฝ, nisi ๐ฏ๐ข๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐š fuisset.

3/12: Earlier translations of ๐‘ฃ๐‘–๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘š๐‘Ž have "victim" (Beveridge, 1845), "slaughtered victim" (John Allen, 1813), & "sacrificed offering" (Thomas Norton, 1762), in place of Ford Lewis Battles' (1960) "sacrificial victim."

At the risk of being cited for fulfilling Godwin's Law, Hitler is famous for saying that the bigger the lie, the more weight it carries. And this one's pretty big. Just how big is it? Let's take a look, shall we?

First, let's deal with the smaller lie, that "DiAngelo is just a corporate sensitivity trainer." According to her CV, she's a whole lot more than that. In addition to her Ph.D. dissertation, "Whiteness in Racial Dialogue: A Discourse Analysis"...
