Alan, Your problem is not with me but with the Word of God. The verse I quoted is 1.Thess. 2:14,15,16. DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS PLAINLY AND CLEARLY SAYS. Yes I love the Jewish people as I do all other nations and peoples, what I detest about is their unbelief in the fact that their Messiah has come according to the promise made to Abraham. Their religion is apostate and anti-christ according to the clear teaching of the Word of God. The hope for them and all peoples is one and the same, that being, " believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved ". The true Jew under the new Covenant is not a matter of blood type in your veins but faith in your heart. You are unable to distinguish between a natural Jew and a Spiritual Jew. Let us allow the Word of God to define a true Jew, Romans 2.28-29. " For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; BUT HE IS A JEW WHO IS ONE INWARDLY; AND CIRCUMCISION IS THAT OF THE HEART, IN THE SPIRIT, NOT IN THE LETTER, WHOSE PRAISE IS NOT FROM MEN BUT FROM GOD. Alan, I was born in England, thus I have a special love for my own people by blood. How-ever I could never allow this natural love for my country and people to " blind " me to the clear teachings of the Word of God. Could it be remotely possible or even thinkable that the Holy Spirit is beginning to challenge you on some of your man-made beliefs and fables that violate Gods holy Word. My prayer for you is just that. Robert. |
