I've gotten a lot of good information from John MacArthur over the years. Just finished his new systematic theology. While reading through his Romans 9-16 book, I ran across the following:
"Among those who most strongly insist that God is through with the nation of Israel are those whose theology is commonly referred to as covenant theology. It is ironic that, because of a distorted view of Israel, covenant theology cannot escape the implication that God is not faithful in fully honoring His covenants."
So, not being well versed in covenant theology, I was wondering the following:
*is this a faithful/accurate description of what most supporters of covenant theology believe? Do they believe that God is "through with the nation of Israel?
*I have no idea what he is referring to in his second sentence. Help would be appreciated.
Definitely not trying to troll or flame. If it comes across that way, chalk it up to my ignorance on the subject, but my willingness to learn.
