But why would our God choose A people in the OT? He's big enough to choose ALL people, isn't He?
It's never made sense to me.
And check this out!You will do more than restore the people of Israel to me. I will make you a light to the gentiles, and you will bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."
"and my blessings are for the Gentiles too, when they commit themselves to the Lord. Do not let them think that I consider them second-hand citizens. And my blessings are also for the Eunuchs. They are as much mine as anyone else.
A person is either Israel or he is not.If you believe in the one true G-d of Abraham and Israel then you must be called Israel if you follow the traditions that gave to the nation of Israel.Havren said:Here are my view
In the old days,, people worshipped many different gods.. Abraham was the only man who worshipped the true God. He was therefor blessed, and his people should be the chosen one.
Something else.. when I look at America, I see a country that never criticize Israel. We christians should not be like this. Why shall we love Israel more than God himself does? We can not be like mute dogs who can not bark. I don't say that Israel is a bad country,, we shall love it with all of our heart, but we should also be able to criticize it when it acts stupid.
pardon my english
The problem is that we all seperate christianity and Judaism.It's the same as seperating a christian nation from the nation of Israel.It's said in zechariah that the law will go forth from Jerusalem.The law is the foundation of every civilization and the koran itself is based on Torah{instructions} of Moses just as Christianity is also based.Both began with the celebrations of a Messiah depicted in the Torah and being our suffering lamb.We were givin the celebrations of this Messiah showng us when the days of our visitation are.Jesus came as our Passover lamb on Pesach.He came as our Holy spirit on the feast of weeks and he will come as our conquering king at Sukkot.Dirtydeak said:I simply beleve that is not time for Iserels rebuke. Americas time has come but not theirs.
You have better English than me.America is a fire.The fire will not be put out but it will consume everything.Havren said:America would not be a superpower forever..
(this is probably off-track.. but anyway..)
Did you know something? If all people in the world would live the way the americans live,, the world would need three earths. It is not meant to live like this..
pardon my terrible english..
DrPepper said:What about that verse "blessed are those who bless the jews" or something meaning those who are good to the Jews will recieve blessings.
I'm not a fan of Jack Chick, but one of his tracts is "Love the Jewish people" and he claims in it that the fall and rise of countries and their success is due to their support or lack of support for Israel.
What do people think about this?
The bible tells of the Jewish people becoming a nation in the last day,They will come back to Israel and their language that was lost will also be found again.G-d tells us That he will never cast off his people and he will choose Jerusalem again.It's in my lifetime that he has been doing this.G-d says he will bless people who bless Israel and curse people who curse Israel{you}.Toga said:the Jews killed Christ! " let his blood be own us and our children"
I really don't think God is foolish enough to even consider them his chosen!!!
