If you read it you will understand that there were SOME who were calling themselves Jews who were not really Jews. We can take that same phrase and insert Christian, because there are many people in church who are pretending to be Christian.
I fully agree with you here with people calling themselves Christian and are not. Wolves in sheeps clothing is what they are called. And they are many, which is why there are so many denominations to choose from, and why I beleive that 'church' (read corral/sheep pen/trap) is one of the most dangerous places to be.

What's not true? Are Christians God's chosen people, or are Jews RIGHT now as in Feb 03, 2012? And if you can answer that correctly....who will be God's chosen people right after the tribulation and through out the millennium? I'm curious to see if you or any others know.

It's not true that you claim that if a person is a serious Bible student then they will naturally embrace replacement theology. That's certainly not true.
Paul hammers away for 3 chapters in the book of Romans (9,10,&11) that God is not finished with the Jews and that they have a prophetic destiny. Right now you simply have the church dispensation. Once "the fullness of the gentiles be come in" (rapture), God will again deal with the world through Israel.
edit on 3-2-2012 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)
I don't believe in replacement theology, there's just too much written to advocate against it. Jesus commanded that the word be preached to the jews first but they kept rejecting Jesus. So Paul gave it to us to be the bearers of the light until we are removed and God has collected the full number of gentiles in which he will again turn his face back towards Israel and reforge them to be what they had been intended to be from the very first and they then shall be the bearers of the light. Their punishment comes in being left behind to suffer the hell to come that will cause them to seek his face in earnest and 2/3's of them will be wiped out which will force them to recognize they need their Messiah or they will all die and it is they who call him back. The Israelites are the only ones who can call him back to earth because he comes when they call for him and it is written that they shall wail in sorrow like a parent who lost a first born son when they realize what they had done to him so long ago. This may even prove the jews are his people and not the muslim because the muslim didn't crucify him.
. . . after the tribulation and through out the millennium . . .

We are "after" the tribulation, and we are in the figurative millennium,
which is the reign of Jesus who is king now.

Your post is all nonsensical gobbledygook.
Instead of just making this fantastic claim that Paul says such and such, how about quoting the actual verses and giving a step by step commentary explaining what he means by each verse.
Otherwise you are just parroting something you heard on a YouTube video and just accept it like a good cult member without having looked into it enough to actually understand it yourself. The evidence pointing in that direction is your lack of a thorough explanation and a mere alluding to something which you hold as established fact based on it being proclaimed to be so by your cult leader.
Read Isaiah 63. The Israelites are getting slaughtered by the anti-christ and their other enemies and 2/3's of them get killed off and so they flee towards Petra . . .
I'm having a discourse with another brother in the Lord. In the situation warrants him desperately needing a verse reference I'm sure he would have asked me.
No we are not. Jesus said that time would be a tribulation the world has never seen before. With the advent of WW1 and WW2 its pretty obvious we aren't in the millennium.

So this is an "inside the cult" discussion where non-cultists are not welcome and only the true believers are privileged to know the secrets of the cult?

This must be another "for cult members only" bit of information from your great leader's YouTube video.
A "truth" which only requires mention of a key phrase and the members already understand this is the "word", and not to be questioned?

You might as well say that since none of you actually know enough about what you were just handed to accept, to ever convince anyone outside your brain-washed cult.

Seeing how Isaiah 63 says nothing like this, you may want to cite the source of this interpretation since it does not fit with the normal understanding of it by Christian biblical scholars.
