Westboro has made it their ambition to consistently protest the overarching federal government by picketing at government-related funerals. They're using the first ammendment to express their hope for a much smaller government, fewer dead soldiers, no federally-mandated same-sex marriage, etc. When D.C. becomes a pre-1860 sized 'ghost town' they will cease and desist.
Romans 11:25-28 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
You are absolutely right... however... you need to make sure you don't skip over the words "the commonwealth of" and thereby do away with National Israel.
I don't dispute that every single individul is either saved or lost - I am simply pointing out, that according to the Bible, there are those who are saved (the church of God) and that there are those who are lost (both of Jew and Gentile).
If you disagree with that... your fight is not with me, but with the scripture!
