" what gives you the right to worship Jesus, who is genetically totally dissimilar from you,"
Christ came that all men may have eternal life in Him. He broke down the wall of partition that separated men through his sacrifice. When we are Born Again, we become the sons of God and a new nation and race. There is neither Jew nor non-Jew in this new nation.
1Pet.
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:
Rom.2
28: For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart,. in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Col.3
1: If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3: For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.....
10: And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
