Lee, don't you agree that there is a million miles between a holy and truly pious and almost unbelievably meek and gentle Hassidic Jewish male, who wears a yamaka (sp.) and exudes what we know to be godliness, and a porn mogol who is also Jewish? I mean, I think we know there is Lee, and that is the only point.
I sure know we make the distinction among every other human being on earth as to who is of satan and does his work and who is of or going toward God. That is absolutely the only point.
And I know that is the only point Emile is making. It is the insanity of one view, versus the obvious santity of a rational view that within the original Chosen People there has rather been a falling away about 1,000,000 light years from the mark.
It is exactly the same with the grandchildren of the post war anglo Americans. Or worse, maybe some of the children who came out of the time of the Move of God in the 70's. Many barely recognizable as humans, literally blood sucking, satan worshipping mutants. Oh, but is the 50% of them that act that way santified by having Jewish DNA in their blood cells. I have to find that a little amusing that that would be o.k., but the Anglos--off to hell with them. It's just a gospel that is just different from the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which did not allow for genetic jew adoration at all. Or any form of genetic adoration of any race or species.
I just personally cannot follow a programmed thinking which has little basis in reality. But there was an original blessing to the original people who are jews, but actually originated as genetic Babylonians, by the way, who mixed with the Canannites and Philistines according to their scripture.
I think maybe if you put it in the proper light that of all the humans on Earth-- almost to the last human being on Earth at the time of these scriptures--were living and loving it under one satanic pagan religion or another-- almost all involving human sacrifice and things we cannot discuss, then it is quite obvious that the decendants of Abraham were indeed extremely special to God. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY ALL HE HAD. PERIOD.
I believe your love of Isreal and an extreme fondness for Jews in general is Christlike. With me, it is a love for A person in particular, who turns out to be Jewish by birth, and that is because they are loveable or becaue there is something about them I love them for in spite of themselves, and that is the exact measure I use for every other human on earth. I do NOT LIKE many, many, many people. I would jump off the earth to not live among them if I could. They do things to humans and animals that make it difficult for me to cope with living on the same planet. But what I am commanded to do is not hate them, but to pray for them, and on a one-to-one I might actually be kind to a serial killer without realizing it, who knows.
I believe as a follower of Jesus Christ our first commandment is to love the Lord our God, and Him alone (that is the Father in Heaven, even as Jesus commanded us to love His Father in Heaven above all else), second to love one another (the brethren) and to go to the REST of the world and preach the gospel. Then we can fall in love with the rest of the world. I think that's fair to me.
If you can correct me, I always welcome it as I am not the warmest and fuzziest person I know. I have a strong sense of logic and a desire often for GOD to have His vengence. Do you realize in scripture He tells us that the wicked will be punished, but if we take delight in that, and like to see bad things happen to others, the punishmnet can fall back on us? Heavy stuff. I'll try and find that because I tend to fall into the category of the one who likes seeing my enemies get what they deserve, and that's not the point. They're going to get it, for sure, but we are supposed to respond like the Lord Himself would, with compassion and probably prayer. I don't know yet how to do that at all times, but I'm trying.
Please do not feel at all offended at anything we say here, all of us, and the visitors like even Stock Mogol, trying to see the forest for the trees. I feel very safe here to discuss things openly, without feeling like I'm going to be judged. If I'm right, I'll feel more secure in what I believe; if I'm wrong, I'll be very grateful for God having a chance to correct my thinking.
We are all Christ-resembling creatures in the making. But only in the making. |
