Confusion is when things are atomized and isolated and repeated 1000s of times. D'ism began because a person thought the Bible was confusing until in 1900s he came up with a system that organized it. It had 2 separate programs. He repeated this over and over and over. Many people today think this repetition is the Bible, because after all, a couple texts ARE there.

Understanding is when the authority materials (Bible verses) are compared with each other over and over, and when the apostles teaching is placed higher than our understanding of the OT directly. Then we can find passages in the NT that organize it's own thoughts. Gal 3-4 especially would be "in" this list.

It is total contradiction when people like STP quote Heb 8:8 over and over, but don't know that ch 11 says the promised land never was geographic! That there is a city above that is free and unshakeable.

A good answer is going to have many, many passages to build on, not this stuff STP does. His other fav is Mt 25:33 or something, in which an analogy of goats and sheep about nations is supposed to prove that Israel is a world kingdom in our future. It's like saying the US 1st Amendment is best found in a Picasso painting.

Nope.

You won't find the following in your over reliance on the poorly researched errors of those whose books "about" you so obviously over rely on for your mis-information...

Fact of the matter is that only after Darby understood his completeness in Christ, did he then see the distinction between Israel and the Body that has always been there in Scripture this side of the Apostle Paul but that the Replacement Theology that Darby had formerly been a part of up had long since distorted.

Tilhe understood first...his completeness in Christ.

Insist on your replacement error all you believe you are right about, the fact remains that the following two systems are just that - two systems that in Scripture DIFFER from one another.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

The latter of those two being the issue of the empowerment over sin that only the Body member's completeness in Christ allows said Body member in this Mystery Grace Age.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 5:11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Therefore, being justified by faith...

Colossians 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 2:7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Good luck finding that reality / enablement "under the law" in Matthew thru John and Hebrews thru Revelation.

Rom. 14: 5; in memory of Rom. 5:6-8 - "by whom we have NOW received the atonement."
