Messianic Judaism also believes that God is no respecter of persons. All people are loved and the way to salvation is the same for all people.
Scripture tells us that linage means nothing when it comes to eternal salvation, as being a descendent of Jacob doesn't mean a person is saved, and not being a descendent of Jacob does not mean a person can not be saved.
Boaz, married Ruth, a Moabite by lineage, bringing her into the camp and in turn bringing her into the line of David and Yeshua. At first glance this appears to be a contradiction to what a God-fearing Israelite would possibly do; especially when considering what God had to say about such actions, not just in this time frame, but even in the time of Ezra. However, Ruth did not worship idols or false gods.
Ruth 1:16-18 (CJB spells Ruth as Rut)
16 But Rut said, Dont press me to leave you and stop following you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people
and your God will be my God.
17 Where you die, I will die; and there I will be buried. May Adonai bring terrible curses on me, and worse ones as well, if anything but death separates you and me.
18 When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.
Philemon 1:10-18 (CJB)
10 My request to you concerns my son, of whom I became the father while here in prison, Onesimus.
11 His name means useful, and although he was once useless to you, he has now become most useful not only to you but also to me;
12 so that in returning him to you I am sending a part of my very heart.
13 I would dearly have loved to keep him with me, in order for him to serve me in your place while I am in prison because of the Good News.
14 But I didnt want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do for me may be voluntary and not forced.
15 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a brief period was so that you could have him back forever,
16 no longer as a slave but as more than a slave, as a dear brother. And that he is, especially to me. But how much dearer he must be to you, both humanly and in union with the Lord!
17 So if you are in fellowship with me, receive him as you would me.
18 And if he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything, charge it to me.
Was Noah an Israelite? Was Job an Israelite? Was Abraham an Israelite?
Was Corrie Ten Boom an Israelite? Was Mother Teresa an Israelite?
Was Corrie Ten Boom an Israelite? Was Mother Teresa an Israelite?
Edit Clarification: This reply is not questioning Qnts, but rather agreeing with the Messianic perspective that all worshippers of GOD/Adonai are special.
