“When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith.”
― Abraham Kuyper
@VIAVERITASEVITA@LostMyHats The word was "fond" and the brother has clarified, expanded, elaborated and written extensively on his remarks. He was and is right.
@MikeWingerii Jesus in John 4 is precisely making his jewishness irrelevant. He identify hinself as the Son of man, intentionally, for He is the God and Savior of His Church, prople from every nation ans tongue, the Israel of God.
@MikeWingerii@Mich_Mac@dalepartridge Peter and Paul said the Jews killed Jesus, with the exact words y the exact order. Go ahead, call them out, or do the ussual "It’s about the religious leaders" or "you are taking it out of context" thing.
@MikeWingerii@dalepartridge Damgerous? That's ridiculous. Read yourself son. Dangerous is you thinking that "salvation is from the jews" means the jewish supremacy or special status even without Christ. That's not exegesis. It's stupidity amd false. I guess Paul in Romans 9.6-8 is dangerous? Smh.
Yes, God instructed the Israelites in about 1025 B.C. to massacre them. Including their cattle (to demonstrate it was righteous vengeance, and not just because they wanted their stuff).
He can do that. He’s God, and they had filled the winepress of His fury for 400 years, until it overflowed. But, not the ancient Palestinians.
Their ancestors were NOT included in the Canaanite extermination mandate list of Deuteronomy 7 (Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites). They weren’t the ancient Amalekites, either.
In fact, Amos 9:7 says it was God Himself that brought their ancestors to Philistia (Palestine) to settle there, JUST LIKE the Israelites:
“Are you not like the Cushites to me, O people of Israel? declares the Lord. Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor and the Syrians from Kir?”
God brought them to settle there. I’d say “blame God,” but Jews might take that literally. We saw what they did to God in the flesh.
Meanwhile, to help you think this out, not only are the Palestinians not on the extermination list, and God placed them there, but they’re also the ancestors of Abraham, genetically even more Semitic than the majority of Israelis (Ashkenaz is in the line of Japheth, not Shem). That’s why DNA studies demonstrate Palestinians are more kin to Abraham than, say, Israel’s Polish President.
So the irony is, you’re advocating for majority-Europeans to butcher Abraham’s genetic lineage because God told the Israelites to wipe out some other people three-thousand years ago.
Further, that was a “positive command” in Scripture - aka a command given to a specific people at a specific time for a specific purpose - it is not an eternal permission slip to commit mass murder.
IE, God told David to take the head of a giant, but that’s not to permission for some Hebrew Cosplayer to kill Shaq and his entire family.
In fact, God is going to redeem ALL of the Palestinians and give them Zion for inheritance.
Speaking of them, Zechariah 9:7 says, “I will take away its blood from its mouth, and its abominations from between its teeth; it too shall be a remnant for our God.”
1. Feel free to argue that modern Palestinians aren’t ancient Philistines just bc they’re related and live in the same place. But then, that’d be true for Israel, too.
2. Or argue that modern Israelis are ancient Israelites, but then the Palestines are also the Philistines, and God says to leave them alone because He has a plan to save them.
Take your pick. Either way, there’s no justification for murdering women, children, and civilian combatants because 3k years ago God’s winepress filled with wrath. It’s already been poured out.
@LostMyHats@RaymondIbrahim5 And it is also true ypur claim that Muslims are fond of Jesus. They show at least some reverence and respect for Jesus. I can recognize that fact and condemn their religion as false and evil at the same time. Not complicated, but envy can blind many.
@hbcharlesjr Brother, next time you invite a preacher to mount your pulpit, please ensure he is not one wearing earings like a woman, gay-like glasses and effeminate all around. Not a good role model for our young men.
We worship an ethnic Hebrew who preferred to go by an intentionally universal title, “Son of Man,” who decreed the destruction of the Jewish Temple (Matthew 24:2), personally ended kosher law (Mark 7:19), retired the Old Covenant and gave us a new one in His own blood (Hebrews 8:13, Luke 22:20), called the founders of modern Judaism ‘sons of the devil’ (John 8:44), said that anyone who denies Him rejects Moses (John 5:46-47), and their Synagogue worships the devil (Revelation 2:9, 3:9).
Then His hand-chosen Apostles taught that God no longer sees people as Jews or Gentiles (Galatians 3:28, Colossians 3:11), that believers in Jesus are children of Abraham (Galatians 3:7), that unbelieving Jews are not (Romans 9:6-8), and referred to the Church as the circumcised (Philippians 3:3), as His chosen nation (1 Peter 2:9), and as the ‘Israel of God’ (Galatians 6:16).
The Book was written by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21), with multiple books written by non-Jewish hands (Luke/Acts), for the benefit of all men (2 Timothy 3:16-17). And the BIG REVEAL of the whole Book is that Jesus came to save the goyim (Ephesians 3:6).
Stop trying to turn the Son of God into your tribal bush deity and some simp mascot for a desert war cult. He’s the King of Kings. Have some respect.
@Fair_and_Biased@LostMyHats@TuckerCarlson Full inclusion meaning what? Every single jew alive in that future who knows when? What a bunch of bolony. Jews and gentiles IN CHRIST are the only chosen people of God. And not every single individual but those chosen by grace. Stop with the nonsense.
