Kobojunkie:
You just succinctly described your religious mentality there...

In your religious stupor, your every conclusion/answers are based not on scripture but on ideas fed to you by your religious leaders —something you have proven over and over again now— and you all too willingly twist and reject the content of scripture itself to fit these religious ideas.

SonofElElyonRet:
Your imagined situation of things... most subjective and clear avoidance of the several O.T. verses quoted. You are clearly fixated on working from answer to question.. may you be freed from the stronghold of the mind

Junkie Junkie..

➜ Junkie Junkie..

How can I be said to avoid the Old Testament when the Prophets are clearly written to have insisted on the Family of Jacob being the ones under agreement with YHWH, God of Israel? There were no others named by the Prophets as part of the promises except those who are of that bloodline.

Nonsense! You instead attempted to assert your opinion/interpretation in place of the actual content of those passages. A typical derailment tactic used by religious ninnies, I immediately pushed focus back to the topic. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Pooh pooh argument is what this fallacious reasoning is called.. no response at all to the specific verses quoted. Also creating a strawman's argument easy to avoid... you parried the facts and evidence raised.. coward!
Not my opinion. Specific evidence that salvation for non jews was part of God's agenda from the get go. Guess the issues are far beyond your comprehension

Look, your religious gobbledegook will never be able to change or occlude what is contained in that book which is that YHWH— the God of Israel who gave the name Israel to His people(they are the people who are called by His name) — declared He would not change His mind regarding His people Nor would He lie as far as His Law is concerned.

See below. Notice first quote says "sin" NOT sins

➜See below. Notice first quote says "sin" NOT sins

I believe I already mentioned earlier that Jesus Christ of Israel, the one who came to save the World had in John 3 explained exactly which world He came to save.

---

John 3 vs 14 - 15 which you Christians cleverly refuse to quote established that the world which Jesus Christ said He was sent to by His Father —YHWH — as the very same world to which the same God of Israel —YHWH— caused Moses to raise the bronze snake to in the desert, the Lost sheep of Israel. The term the world in that passage of John 3 is used as a metonymy— metaphorical in origin— for those regarded as the lost sheep of Israel. 🤔

But, of course, you will rather deny that and claim that Jesus Christ of Israel not only changed His mind but also lied straight-faced to the Canaanite woman and His disciples. That seems to be the resolve of religion. 🤔

---

So, if Jesus Christ of Israel, the one who brought salvation to the members of the World He described as being limited to that which consists of the Lost Sheep of Israel(the same to whom the bronze snake was raised in the desert by Moses) — the bloodline of Jacob— is there any human being who has the power to declare otherwise without directly contradicting and even contravening Him and His Father for that matter? 🤔

No turning back in Jesus Christ name. Amen.

U sure u ok sir? I've been trying to resist the urge to tell u u r nuts. How can u possibly read the Bible from end to end and conclude that Jesus only came to save "the lost sheep of Israel"?? Are you nuts sir? Which lost ship of Israel did he save? When he sent out his disciples or when he commissioned St. Paul did he tell them to only go to "lost sheep of Israel" (what ever that means).
And how on earth can u read the verse below and conclude that "world" means "lost sheep of Israel"?!!

Again, pay close attention to what I continue to repeat... something you religious bots continue to ignore. This isn't rocket science for Pete's sake!

✹The one who is the Savior here is Jesus Christ of Israel, and Jesus Christ of Israel proclaimed that He only came to save the Lost Sheep of Israel. This is the message repeated all across the 4 Gospels. Jesus Christ of Israel at the same declared that insisted that He only does the will of His Father, and also that His Words are Everlasting—unchanging.
✹ So, if His disciples supposedly changed the script, doesn't that then mean that His disciples not only contravened Him but created a completely different idea from that taught them by Jesus Christ of Israel?

---

Moses did not lift the bronze snake to any other people— not the Moabites, the Amorites, the Hittites, and not even the foreigners who left Egypt with the Israelites. No, Moses lifted the bronze snake in the desert up for the sake of the Israelites — the bloodline of Jacob. So, Jesus Christ submitting that He too would be raised as a bronze snake much the same as Moses raised one in the desert to the condemned, implied He would be raised to the same people.

Do u live in the real world sir or la la land? Lord Jesus has been alive these 2000+ years, performing wonders and the Spirit of God moving among Christians all over the world, and you are stuck on "lost sheep of Israel". Do u know how many contradictions are the Bible? The apostles were there when these things were said by Christ, you were NOT. They all agreed and preached that Christ came for Jews AND Gentiles!

Performing what wonders? The wonders that have to do with a religion that proclaims that Jesus Christ of Israel and YHWH of Israel both lied when they both declared 2000 years ago that Salvation, as offered by them, belonged only to the Lost Sheep of Israel?

2. Ah! So, because the books of the Bible contain many contradictions, you take it to then mean that where it is written that Jesus Christ of Israel said that He was sent only to the Lost sheep of Israel by His Father, YHWH, God of Israel, it must have been a lie? 🤔

3. None of the Apostles that were there in fact said that Jesus Christ of Israel came to save those who were not of the bloodline of Israel. That much can be confirmed from their letters which were directed at those who were of the qualified bloodline. So, if those who were there before Jesus Christ's death confirmed the message, why do you reject it still? Why do you conclude it must have been a lie?

✹By the way, the term gentile, right from its very first use in the book of Genesis 10, is used to refer to people who are all members of the same bloodline aka family.

2 Japheth’s sons were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.
3 Gomer’s sons were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.
4 Javan’s sons were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.[a]
5 All the people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea came from these sons of Japheth. The people separated and went to different countries according to languages, families, and nations. -Genesis 10 vs 2 - 5

IT was first used about the family of Japheth, I believe he was the father of the Arabs. And was later on used about the family of Jacob — meaning those who are of the bloodline of Jacob just as YHWH made clear through His Prophets.

AbuTwins:
Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.

He said it himself.

So I no go follow him till I die.

I will follow Jesus's God that created him, the one he was always praying to.

Your problem once again is that you are totally reliant on what is WRITTEN in a book as opposed to what you can see with your own eyes. It is like me writing a long thesis as to why a certain color is black when you can see with your own eyes that it is white!

There are powerful movements of the LIVING Christ and Spirit of God in various Christian churches around the world and you're here arguing "lost sheep of Israel". Aren't ALL of biblical Israel now lost? Then what? Therefore Christ/God no longer exists?

Know one thing: the DEATH and resurrection of Christ CHANGED almost everything. So when you talk, talk in terms of before and after that death!

“Ever since by faith…..”

According to Him, He is YHWH, God of Israel alone. He gave the name Israel to the Israelites via their father, Jacob, saying they are the people who are called by His name.

If Noah served a God who chose Him specifically for His plan which is Israel and Abraham and Moses served a God who also chose them specifically for His plan which is Israel then clearly the God they all are ed was YHWH, the God of Israel. 🤔

YHWH? Why is God refusing to pronounce His name to you?

And up till now Holy Spirit hasn't been able to solve the YHWH/YHVH debacle!

How is it God of Israel alone when it is stated that "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27

Also Exodus 3:14 - God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation

Abeg who is right you or your Bible?

It seems those people worshiped a nameless God YHWH!

1. So, basically, even though the man called Jesus Christ of Israel lived and gave His Law and Final Word almost 2000 years ago, declaring those Words EVERLASTING — Unchanging — you believe instead that those words are not reliable and need to be supplemented by that which you instead see with your own eyes?

2. How can these movements that you submit to be ever-changing be considered connected to the same Jesus Christ of Israel who instead declared that His Word and that of His Fathers are unchanging?

3. Who fed you this nonsense tale that all biblical Israelites are now lost? How did you reach this conclusion of yours? Are you insinuating that the YHWH of Israel, the Father of Jesus Christ of Israel, made a mistake when He chose the Israelites as His own, even going as far as to declare that He would scatter them to all four corners of the world and eventually gather them back to Himself when the time is right? Are you insinuating that the God of Israel —YHWH— after deliberately scattering His Israel, lost them and no longer knows them or where each of them is even as we speak?

4. If the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ of Israel, according to you, rendered null and void —changed — everything Jesus Christ of Israel declared beforehand, then wouldn't it be safe to conclude then that whatever it was that took place after His death cannot then be linked back to the same Jesus Christ of Israel before these events? Wouldn't it equally mean that all of his promises, teachings, commandments, experiences, etc., before His death are rendered of no meaning...

I can go on but truly you understand how inane these ideas you hold can truly be. Something tells me that you are each aware but refuse to accept or broach it for fear that you might learn the truth or at least the foolishness of these ideas you hold to.

1. Does he refuse to pronounce his own name? Who fed you this ridiculous tale?

2. Where did you get that from? Who fed you that other ridiculous nonsense?

3. He is the God of all flesh after all He created all flesh including those who refused to worship Him. However, He also declared that He is God of Israel and that the people He named Israel would be His only inheritance in the land of man; He did this by giving His contract/agreement/Law only to those of the blood of man called Jacob. Is He, as God, not allowed to do this?

4. Indeed. He is YHWH, God of Israel , and the men Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, Shem, Balaam, etc., all served Him according to His plan called Israel. Are you having a problem with the use of the name Israel or something? Recall, I had originally mentioned that that name came, not from men, but from YHWH Himself. If that name came from YHWH Himself, do you realize that it means the plan called Israel probably existed with YHWH even before man was made? Are you able to fathom at least that much?

But. I did not write Deuteronomy 32 where He declared that Jacob is His people and His inheritance in the land of men. It is in the Book of the Law where He declared this Himself. I also did not write much of the same book of Deuteronomy where YHWH, over and over, declared that He chose them, the people of Israel, as His own, irrespective of their conduct but rather on grounds of the promise He made to their ancestors, a fact repeated over and over by His Prophets.

You never know who u chatting with on NL. I hope u r NOT a bit slow.
Since you like numbering let me number mine too.
1) EVERY group that claims to be the biblical Israelites today freely intermarry with Gentiles - which of course nullifies any "chosen people" claim as God requires pure blood. Result; ALL biblical Jews are lost!

2) You yourself said the Bible has contradictions. You were not there when any of those words were said, then forgotten, partially remembered years later and written, severally translated, then went through all sorts of processes before finally put in the form that finally got to you. So if you interprete the word "world" to mean "lost sheep of Israel" based on a single verse, and then go on to say that's the only people Christ came to save from their sins, but you look around you and see for mighty works and movements of Christ in various churches of the world, listen carefully, BELIEVE YOUR EYES!!!

3) At His death Christ was literally FINISHED in capital letters. He had no money, no influence, no church building, no high connections, and even his closest friends were denying him. But his resurrection CHANGED everything - from dead and finished to being worshiped as God, till today!

4) Asking you again, since the biblical Israelites are gone does it mean God no longer exists??

DaddyCoool:

Three things to show that your statement above is born of utter ignorance of that which is in fact contained in Israelite Scripture.

✹Purity of bloodline as stipulated in the Law of Moses while living in the Canaan did not restrict the Israelites from intermarrying. Intermarriage was specifically prohibited between the people of Israel at the time in the land of Canaan and the people of the listed nations.

1 “The Lord your God will lead you into the land that you are entering to take for your own. He will force out many nations for you—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—seven nations greater and more powerful than you.
2 The Lord your God will put these nations under your power. And you will defeat them. You must destroy them completely. Don’t make an agreement with them or show them mercy.
3 Don’t marry any of them, and don’t let your sons or daughters marry any of the people from those other nations.
4 If you do, they will turn your children away from following me. Then your children will serve other gods, and the Lord will be very angry with you. He will quickly destroy you! - Deuteronomy 7 vs 1 - 4

---

✹ For the umpteenth time, Jesus Christ of Israel declared to His disciples that He was sent ONLY to the Lost sheep of Israel by His Father, YHWH, God of Israel, who is recorded to have declared them His Lost sheep.

11 The Lord God says, “I myself will be their Shepherd. I will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12 If a shepherd is with his sheep when they begin to wander away, he will go searching for them. In the same way I will search for my sheep. I will save them and bring them back from all the places where they were scattered on that dark and cloudy day.
13 I will bring them back from those nations. I will gather them from those countries and bring them back to their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the places where people live.
14 I will lead them to grassy fields. They will go to the place high on the mountains of Israel and lie down on good ground and eat the grass. They will eat in rich grassland on the mountains of Israel.
15 Yes, I will feed my flock, and I will lead them to a place of rest.” This is what the Lord God said.
16 “I will search for the lost sheep. I will bring back the sheep that were scattered and put bandages on the sheep that were hurt. I will make the weak sheep strong, but I will destroy the fat and powerful shepherds. I will feed them the punishment they deserve.” - Ezekiel 34 vs 1....31

The fact that the book contains some contradictory claims/opinions DOES NOT then bestow on you or anyone's power to add, remove, or change what is written though. The moment you resort to doing that— adding your fantasies wherever you please, removing ideas you are not comfortable with or even changing things up to fit your particular preferences all while abandoning the original message intended by the individual authors of the books— you are no longer within the realm of the book but writing an entirely different book altogether. That is the ridiculousness of religion... all of them.
