†...he that hath my commandments and keepeth them...† 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him;for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. John 14 Thank you Father for your Word!!!†

OT Found this of interest, thought everyone here might enjoy: Experts find genetic Jewish-Arab link By Judy Siegel JERUSALEM (November 6) - DNA research carried out at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School and University College in London has shown that many Jews and Arabs are closely related. Over seven out of 10 Jewish men and half of Arab men whose DNA was studied inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors - who lived in the Middle East in the Neolithic period in prehistoric times. The research, to be published soon in the journal Human Genetics, was disclosed in a recent conference in New York on human origins and disease. It was carried out by Prof. Ariella Oppenheim, a senior geneticist in the Hebrew University's hematology department. Dr. Marina Faerman, Dr. Dvora Filon of the Hadassah-University Hospital in Jerusalem, HU doctoral student Almut Nebel, and Mark Thomas and others at the British university assisted. The work was also reported last week in the journal Science. Oppenheim and her colleagues tested blood from 143 Israeli and Palestinian Moslem Arabs whose great-grandfathers were not related. Chromosome set data were compared with that of 119 Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, and to that of non-Jewish residents of northern Wales. The researchers found that the Arabs are more closely related to Jews than they are to the Welsh, indicating a more recent common ancestry. Arabs and Jews had about 18 percent of all their chromosomes in common. A previous study of 1,371 men from around the world by geneticist Michael Hammer of the University of Arizona, with collaboration from Oppenheim, found that the Y chromosome in Middle Eastern Arabs was almost indistinguishable from that of Jews. According to historical records, part - perhaps the majority - of the Moslem Arabs in Israel descended from local inhabitants, mainly Christians and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest in the seventh century CE, Oppenheim wrote. These local inhabitants, in turn, were descendants of the core population that had lived in the area for several centuries, some even since prehistoric times. The results of the study match historical accounts that some Moslem Arabs are descended from Christians and Jews who settled in the southern Levant (Israel and Sinai) and came from a core population that lived in the area since prehistoric times. "Our findings are in good agreement with historical evidence and suggest genetic continuity in both populations despite their long separation and the wide geographic dispersal of Jews," Oppenheim wrote. jpost.com
