"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."(1 Pe.1:15-16). We are called inhis Son, not of ourselves. "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."(Ro.8:30). In short He called us to be part of the body where Christ as the head is the firstborn of all creation. Same DNA of faith makes us the double for Christ
Without doing the will what did Jonah taking passage to Tarsis did? Literal approach skips much of his deity so ecumenism presents another Gospel and another Christ.
We have not learned the word of God thus. "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (2 Co.4:6) This glory is not static. " Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty./ But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."(2 Co.3:17-18)
This pro-Israel activism is nothing short of wrong reading of the word of God. Their literal approach makes literal Jerusalem loom large. New Jerusalem is the destination for those who live as pilgrims and sojourners while in body. Their faith indeed grows even as that of Abraham. "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." (Re.21:23)
St Paul writes how the Spirit helps us with our prayers.(Ro.8:27-28) The same holds true with dictating what transpired between parties where the Spirit is setting down precisely the truth, ("Thy word is truth"). For example Jonah praying from the belly of the fish only the Spirit could do justice. So faith is essential .
