Croix de Fer,
Were you familiar with the writings of the Old Testament prophets, you would realize your error. You are seriously mistaken in your understanding of the future conversion of the physical descendants of the Nation of Israel - which St. Paul clearly makes reference to in the 11th chapter of his letter to the Romans. This prophecy is well known. How can you deny it? He's telling the Gentile Catholics not to become too proud of their conversion, for it will come to an end - followed by the conversion of the physical descendants of Israel. Do yourself, and everyone else, a favor - get acquainted with the prophecies of the Old Testament. The conversion of the physical descendants of Israel "after the fullness of the Gentiles have come in" is an indisputable prophecy.
Hebevacationist, check your condescension, because I probably know far more about the Old Testament than you.
You conveniently ignore Zacharias 13:8-9 that prophesizes two-thirds of Jews around the world will be exterminated for their rejection of Jesus Christ, and the few Jews who remain will convert to the Catholic Faith.
https://web.archive.org/web/20170627193123/http://haydock1859.tripod.com/id723.htmlThe following is the commentary in the Haydock Catholic Bible apropose to the aforementioned verses:
Ver. 8. Third. The greatest part of mankind will be lost. (Haydock) --- The few Jews who embrace the faith will be absorbed in the Gentile converts, and suffered to live, though proved by persecutions, while the rest shall be exterminated. Both shall lose their name, and be styled Christians. (Calmet) --- Those who adhere to Judaism, or to paganism, cannot be saved. This is the privilege only of Christian Catholics, who live piously, and are selected by God's grace. (Worthington)Ver. 9. Fire. The Church was persecuted during the first centuries; but always became more pure, and the blood of martyrs increased her numbers. (Calmet) --- She faithfully adhered to God. (Haydock) --- The Jews say this will not take place at last: "but we assert that it is already accomplished." (St. Jerome)
Hebevacationist says:
Moreover, your comment about all the Jews migrating to Rome in the diaspora is incorrect.
You either have a severe difficulty with reading comprehension or you're guilty of strawman argumentation. I didn't say "all the Jews", rather I said there were early Hebrews who predated Jesus Christ, and they migrated to Rome before He was born. Nobody knows the obvious minority of numbers who settled in Rome. They remained there throughout the ages, and, supposedly, they never mixed with any Romans/Italians. I, also, emphasized it was BEFORE Jesus Christ was born, therefore it MUST BE BEFORE the diaspora. My point about the diaspora was the other Jews lost their biological lineage to David when they mixed with Khazars and, subsequently, some Europeans. When they settled into Europe after Khazaria, they didn't go to Rome, rather they settled in other parts of Europe and Russia.
Hebevactionist says:
These God also says He will bring back to the land of Israel in the end
That means God will bring some of the Jews to the Catholic Church, meaning they will be brought back to the Bosom of Abraham.
Catholicism 101 : the true Israel is the Catholic Church. Your ignorance is monstrous.
Hebevacationist says:
Nor do you properly understand what the "ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan"
I know exactly who is the ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan. It is ALL Jews who rejected, and still reject to this day, Jesus Christ. In rejecting Jesus Christ, the Jews reject the God of their fathers. They ruptured themselves from Abraham, but they still lie by calling themselves Jews (Rev 2:9 & 3:9), If they were true Jews, they would have accepted Jesus Christ as the true God and Messiah, because He is the fulfillment of the Faith that the Lord bestowed upon Abraham. Again, that's Catholicism 101.
You and others on this thread are wrong saying that "religious" Jews who still follow the Old Law are "real Jews". Catholics are the true spiritual descendants of Abraham. The Church speaks to this fact by way of affirming, ex cathedra, that the Old Law ceased by the establishment of the Church and her Sacraments, and thus people must accept the New Covenant. To follow the New Covenant is to be a real Jew. To follow the Old Law is to suffer eternal perdition. Ex cathedra.
