Food For Thought
What did John the Baptist say to his own people about race?
Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
What did Jesus say about race?
Joh 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Joh 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Joh 8:41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
What did Timothy say about race?
1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do
Either you are wrong or they are wrong.
.
baberean2,
1. You are the only one who is wrong. You should think about that.
2. Matthew 3:9 was a message of repentance and he will not put up with willing rebels whether Jew or Gentile.
This has nothing to do with cancelling the KoH reign promises with the house of Israel and Judah.
3. John 8:39-42;
They were Abraham's children physically but not spiritually. They thought they could have the blessings and live in sin.
This has nothing to do with the KoH reign promises to Israel being canceled.
4. 1 Timothy 1:4-10; fables are untrue stories and endless genealogies which minister questions about keeping the law instead of living by faith.
Those teachers didn't know what they were talking about.
The law was only good if they used it lawfully.
The law is not for the righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient etc.
This really could be talking about Jew or Gentile endless genealogies.
Either way it doesn't matter just because some Jew who wanted to be a teacher of the law and talk about his genealogy doesn't cancel the KoH reign promises for Israel. This context is about the church age not the kingdom age.
5. These contexts have nothing to do with the cancellation of Israel's KoH reign promises in the future.
What good is a context when you just pick out one thing and attach it to another context and wrench it out of context?
6. God has promised the nation of Israel the KoH reign promises but only when they all repent.
There are many in the church that want to be prideful about being in the church and laid it over the Jews. That is not right either.
The bottom line is that he predestined both Israel for their eternal gifts and callings just as much the church's calling with Jew and Gentile alike.
Everyone in the KoH reign will be under the New Covenant and will be one in harmony.
So the positions of authority doesn't elevate one above another except people who want the church to replace Israel and for those who believe Israel is superior to the church and they are both wrong.
God gives positions of authority and it is his right to choose for he must keep his promises whether you think it is right or not.
