Braig,
Both. “I will bless them that bless thee” and “to the Jew first” are both taken quite seriously.

“Most evangelicals do not have the same regard for the Jewish people as do dispensationalists.”

Dear Collin: Feeney has a good question over on the other thread: Do dispensationalists love the Jews, or do they love their eschatology which involves the Jews?

(This isn’t an accusation. It’s actually a question.)

Romans 11:28-29. The NT’s strongest confirmation of dispensationalism.

In that light I think “evangelicalism” is too wide a term here. Most evangelicals do not have the same regard for the Jewish people as do dispensationalists. The disp shift has been significant to this point over the past two centuries.

As to confirm your third point, the Apostle Paul in Romans 9 – 11 says as much. God’s call and God’s blessing is irrevocable.

“But perhaps it would help if they understood the third reason we evangelicals have a special affection for our Jewish neighbor: Because we know that God has a special affection for them too.”

Yes. Good article Joe.
