Jesus, Prophet To Jews Only Not The Universe by oderinde11(m): 11:31am On Nov 18, 2014 |
There are other verses that Christians display to prove their point that Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent for all mankind. Mark 16:15-16 He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned. This raises two points; 1) There was some Gospel already in existence but from history we know that the present day Gospels were written by men much after the departure of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) from earth. 2) There is a contradiction as at other places, he says to go only to Israel. A careful look at this verse reveals that there is no contradiction; GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) Then Jesus said to them, "So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News. Other verses that Christians rely on for their claim; Matthew 28:18-20 is the most solid proof a christian can present! "A Canaan woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He [Jesus] answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He [Jesus] replied 'It is not right to take the children's [Jews] bread [blessings and miracles reserved for them] and toss it to their dogs [the Canaanite, or the Philistines].' 'Yes, Lord' she said, 'but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 15:22-28)" Here Jesus calls all Gentiles as dogs. This is racism! An interpretation of this verse given by Christians is that that the woman had faith and for that she was saved by Jesus. This is a false interpretation and makes guaranteed salvation in danger for the Christians as strong faith is required. Furthermore, if my mother sends me to the market to buy a dozen apples and on my way back, a beggar stops me and aks for two apples. I tell him that I have not been sent to give apples to beggars but the beggar starts pleading and crying and due to pity, I give him two apples. This does not change my mission. My mission is still to bring apples for my mother! Although Jesus (peace be upon him) did help the woman, it was because of his compassion for the woman's plight. But note that it is only this single Gentile who was helped. There is no other Gentile that Jesus (peace be upon him) had preached to. Other related statements can also be found in John 11:52 and John 10:16, Matthew 10:5-6. "Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is referred to as a Prophet of Galilee and not of the whole world by the ordinary folk in Matthew 21:11. It were the hypocrites like Paul who changed his mission to suit their needs. "And the crowds said, 'This is the prophet Jesus of Nazareth of Galilee.'" Jesus (peace be upon him) is definitely greater than the disciples and his words are what matter most. If there is a contradiction, the disciples should be rejected on that matter! "And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. '" (also in Matthew 13:57, Luke 4:24 and John 4:43). This is a wonderful prophecy as well. It not only says that he is for Israel alone but also says that others do not respect non fellow race Prophets. This has turned out to be true. We see that the so-called followers of Jesus (peace be upon him) do not respect him and they have done this by associating man-made concepts like Trinity to him. The disciples were confused Acts 11:19 "Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only." Acts 11:1-3 "And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him. Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them ." Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent for Israel only! |

[we have to be very careful for the end time has come. Satanic evangelists are now using various strategies to turn away people from God. |

Judek2:How can the whole world have that which Jesus Christ said belonged only to the Lost sheep of Israel? Use your head to realize that rather this means that what the whole world supposedly has is a fraud, not Jesus Christ! |
