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.

Being ethnically Jewish does not make someone a true, spiritual Israelite:
ยฒโน 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)
๐/๐
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)
๐/๐
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....
๐/๐
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)
๐/๐
Christians are the Israel of God:
ยนโถ Peace and mercy to all who follow this ruleโto 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 ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ righteous wrath."
2) Please don't try to retweet this in their threads. Denhollander & I have mutual blocks & I blocked Howard long ago. If you must, give them screenshots. I don't want to interact with them.
"...He has borne the punishment to acquit us; He has made us clean by His blood; He has appeased the wrath of the ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ by His own obedience..."
โActs of the Apostles, comment on 20:21, in Torrance & Torrance, eds., Calvin's NT Commentaries, 7:177.
"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 แผฯฮฟฮปฯฯฯฯฯฮนฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผฮฝฯฮฏฮปฯ ฯฯฮฟฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผฐฮปฮฑฯฯฮฎฯฮนฮฟฮฝ, nisi ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ fuisset.
(A. Tholuck, ed., 1846)
3/12: Earlier translations of ๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ 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"...
...at the U of Washington, she's also served on the faculty there, plus at Smith College & Westfield State U, published 24 peer-reviewed journal articles, authored chapters in 9 books, wrote or co-wrote 3 books, completed 2 academic research projects, & gave 12...
"'Many people donโt realise that [critical race theory] is political,' she tells me. 'Itโs getting into institutions that really should be neutral: schools, NHS trusts, and even sometimes the civil service.'...
"...She is particularly incensed by the boom in sales of texts such as ๐โ๐๐ก๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐ฆ by Robin DiAngelo (which claims all white people are racist and any denial of this is further evidence of racism)..."
