| Let me blast away at a horrible doctrine that has got Christians screwed up in so many ways, and it comes from Paul once again. Paul loved being Jewish and although he was the only one, who obeyed the Lord and went to the Gentiles, as they were suppose to. Paul still felt in his heart that somehow someway the jews were special, chosen and would be given special consideration. This he kept preaching and writing even though this absolutely violated and went against salvation by GRACE via CHOICE ONLY. But it can not be both ways, it can't be by choice for one people and by inheritance and parentage for others. There can not be two classes of people, two different ways to the Throne, two different sets of rules, and yet Christians have been seduced into thinking that the jewish people are more chosen than them and better than them. They are convinced the Lord has favourites, and they will say the WORD OF GAWD says so. Yes, Paul's words do confuse so many people just like his anti-sexual anti-women words have hurt ewuality and liberation of so many.So church people plug your ears, for we are the people of the Lord...and He is GOD. And HE has only one way to salvation, one set of rules for all no matter what situation they are in, or what heritage they are from. He is fair and just and does not have his favourites or his chosen ones, predetermined. Everyone has to choose, EVERYONE ! ! ! including the Jewish people who have to choose Jesus as the Messiah and have to become Christians to get blessed. No one is intrinsically better than any one else. We are all in the same boat, dirty rotten sinners washed by the blood of the Lamb. This is our humility as well as our strength. This is why we can love each other because none of us are any better than any other person. We have no cliches, we only have individuals who individually love the Lord. There is no distinction between Gentile and Jew. There never was, as it has always been according to heart and faith rather than heritage.There is no such thing as natural Israel. That is a made up statement because nobody naturally from birth has any special rights from the Lord. Different people are dealt different hands but the Lord treats all fairly. For with certain so-called advantages come more responsibilities and more disadvantages. I repeat the Lord is fair, even though in the short term it may sometimes look unfair. But in the long run, it all works out evenly. For, everyone reaps what they sow in the long term. Everyone must choose. No one gets a free ride, no religious group like the Jews get special status just because of their so-called birth rights. Everyone has to earn it, and choose it like Jacob did. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws intotheir mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (That's us, love in our hearts, His word in our hearts...CHRISTIANS) Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. (Because it comes from choosing heart and love not obeying superficial laws and segregation and holiness) Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: (Israel just means those who have individually chosen the Lord like Jacob did. Jacob choose the chosen one and fought for his right, and then was called 'Israel' No difference with us, as just once in our lives we have had to choose Jesus and accept HIM. Then we are one of the people of GOD, a full citizen of His Kingdom.) So stick to these true words of Paul rather than when he went astray and said.Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved because all of the citizens of Israel shall not come to the Lord and be saved. Nations don;t get saved, only individuals that choose Jesus get saved. Sure Paul wanted all Israel to get saved, just as those of us of nations around the world hope our citizens all get saved, but they won't. Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. This means ONLY that Paul's wish is that they would all get saved, but in reality that is an impossibility for only a few receive the Lord as the Lord stated in His Parable of the Sower. And nations do not get saved only individuals. We can NOT let Paul's desire mislead us into thinking that the Lord has a special group of people He favours no matter what they do and even though they rebelliously still reject HIM. It just isn't so. These Paulian opinions have seduced Christians away from CHOICE and into a perverted two people kingdom philosphy and two people prophecy interpretation that gets downright wierd........ with one group being more special than the other...UGH !!! For there is only ONE PEOPLE before GOD, those that have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Those that have received the Saviour, Jesus Christ. No other group can present themsleves before the THRONE as holy, because all we like sheep have gone astray. No one, and no group is pure, all need the Lord and HIS Righteousness. There are only ONE CLASS OF CITIZENS in HEAVEN and HERE on EARTH ... Christians 1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light ....(CHRISTIANS) Compare ... Moses prophesy against 2 Israels For we are ONE .... under the ONLY ONE ... JESUS 2008 |
