@Tim_Delello @robbystarbuck @chicagobulls @NBA @JadensIV I'm going to mute you now. Idiocy can be contagious, and there's no vaccine.

Jaden Ivey was thrown off the @chicagobulls today over his Christian views on LGBTQ pride events.
He’s reacting live on IG right now and refusing to back down from his religious convictions.
@NBA wouldn’t dare to do this to any other faith. Christians must stand with @JadensIV!

Aren't Catholics Christians?
Ivey took to social media for what amounted to a 75-minute sermon where he shared his religious beliefs. During his Instagram live video and in comments, he said that celebrating Pride month was to “celebrate unrighteousness.” He also called Catholicism a “false religion” that “does not lead to salvation in Jesus Christ.”

@mnwickens Yes it is when you open the freezer and take out an ice cream sandwich and ask yourself what would you do for one…

@DaveMallinak @BrennansPen @HarpazoDynamo The saint never falls prey to the false Messiah because he is sealed. It is not possible to deceive the very elect.

@HarpazoDynamo Men always gravitate towards a pope-like leader. Some of that is built in as a design feature. We have a fundamental need for a Messiah. Much of it is treacherous. We haven't embraced the Messiah we have. He isn't sufficient, so we seek counterfeits.

@StephenCox_SC Sooo close; bro. So close.
Genesis, Romans and Galatians.

Social media has given a microphone to everyone with Wi-Fi and an opinion. And many who have never carefully walked through Genesis, Romans, or the prophets are now declaring that God is “finished” with Israel. That is not new theology. It is recycled confusion with better lighting and a podcast intro.
Let’s deal with it plainly.
1. The Abrahamic Covenant Was Unconditional
In Book of Genesis 12:1–3, God made promises to Abraham:
• A land
• A seed
• A blessing
In Genesis 15, God alone passed between the pieces of the sacrifice. Abraham did not. That matters. It means the covenant’s fulfillment rested on God’s faithfulness, not Abraham’s performance.
If the covenant depended on Israel’s obedience, it would have collapsed long ago. But it does not rest on Israel’s perfection. It rests on God’s character.
And God does not revoke unconditional promises.
2. The New Testament Explicitly Affirms Israel’s Future
In Epistle to the Romans 11, Paul asks a direct question:
“Hath God cast away his people?” (Rom. 11:1)
His answer?
“God forbid.”
Romans 11:28–29 says:
“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”
That word “repentance” (amelēta) means irrevocable, not to be withdrawn.
Paul distinguishes:
• The Church
• Israel
He speaks of a future national turning:
“And so all Israel shall be saved.” (Rom. 11:26)
If Israel is permanently replaced, Paul’s entire argument collapses.
3. “They Aren’t Orthodox Enough” Is the Wrong Standard
Here is where social media theology goes sideways.
People argue:
“Modern Jews aren’t orthodox enough.”
“They reject Christ.”
“Therefore God is done with them.”
But ask this:
Was Israel orthodox enough in the Old Testament?
They worshiped Baal.
They killed prophets.
They broke covenant repeatedly.
And yet God preserved a remnant and promised national restoration (see Book of Jeremiah 31; Book of Ezekiel 36–37).
God’s covenant faithfulness has never depended on Israel’s spiritual consistency. If it did, none of us would have salvation either.
4. The Danger of Replacement Theology
Replacement theology (supersessionism) teaches that the Church has permanently replaced Israel in God’s plan.
It sounds spiritual.
It sounds Christ-centered.
But it ignores literal promises made to ethnic Israel regarding land and kingdom.
If God can permanently cancel Israel’s promises because of disobedience, what assurance do Gentile believers have?
The same God who keeps His word to Israel keeps His word to the Church.
Undermine one, and you weaken both.
5. A Balanced Biblical Position
Let’s be clear and careful:
• Salvation is only through Jesus Christ.
• No one is saved apart from the gospel.
• National Israel today is largely in unbelief.
• But Scripture teaches a future national turning.
You can love Israel without idolizing the modern state.
You can support biblical prophecy without confusing it with politics.
You can reject anti-Semitism without compromising the gospel.
That’s biblical balance.
🙏🏻A Word to Preachers
Do not let TikTok shape your theology.
Walk through the text.
Read the covenants carefully.
Let Scripture interpret Scripture.
God made promises to Abraham.
Paul says they are irrevocable.
The prophets speak of restoration.
God is not finished with Israel.
And if He were, Romans 11 would read very differently.
Stay with the Book.
Preach the Word!
