If you ignore or don't account for the book of Hebrews you will never understand the new covenant.

A household cannot exist without individual members; a body cannot function without individual parts (a point Paul makes explicitly in 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4:16); a temple cannot be built without individual "living stones" (1 Peter 2:5).

The word used in Eph. 2:19 is oikeios (belonging to a house/household). While adoption (huiothesia) results in becoming part of a household, the term "household" itself denotes belonging, proximity, and domestic relationship, not the legal mechanism of adoption.

Be a man and do a line-by-line analysis of the Westminster Confession.
The Bible does not teach Calvinism. Not even slightly. You’re free to disagree with me, but you won’t change my mind. Calvinism is one of the worst heresy ever invented and polluted into the church. It should be deemed a cult.
No, you can’t change my mind on this.
It has helped no one and has locked many people in perpetual bondage to sin with no hope.
I won’t sugarcoat it just because I like you as an individual. Calvinism is not the gospel because it eliminates the need for faith. And makes everything about who God selects, and who God doesn’t.
I hope this response doesn’t ruin the positive conversations we’ve been having so far. But I think not being frank on this topic is detrimental. And pretending like Calvinism is Christianity is destructive. Yes I believe many Calvinist are saved. But that doesn’t make it Christianity.
The only way to come out of bondage is the truth. And if I don’t confront Calvinism, then I am determined to let people stay in that bondage. And it is bondage. But because it only produces condemnation.

"eventually forsake Israel, Zionism, and the pretrib rapture"
Remember when dispensationalists said stuff like this, "This is the present age. During this time God has not been dealing with Israel nationally, ..."

This guy uses a passage written to Jews before the founding of the Church to prove the rapture.
According to dispensationalists this can't work; the rapture involves the Church Age which doesn't start till Pentecost.
Consistency is not their strong point.

Tell me, how many animals do you estimate will be sacrificed in your 1000 year Jewish kingdom?
