Uh, you might want to check your history. Yeshua is a Jew and He will still be one when He comes back.
What we call Christianity today is not what Christ taught. Yeshua did not come to create a new religion, the law still stands for everyone not just Jews. Yeshua came to redeem us from our plight. We all die under the law because it condemns us, grace redeems us.
He didn't change a thing other than allow us to become heirs with Him through our faith and grace.
Nope. The Sanhedrin the scribes and Pharisees didn't like Him, but the poor and weak people did. The Jewish leaders wanted to keep their fancy homes and political power and riches.
And again, look at their history, they have rebelled time after time, but always end up back where God wants them. They eventually learn.
Who do you think the early church was comprised of? Jews first, then gentiles. You are getting hung up on the term, "Christians," thinking that it is somehow different, it's not. Over time the church became corrupt and the so called Christians started distancing themselves from the ethnic Jews and eventually persecuted them, see Spanish Inquisition. It morphed.
The Jews are not grafted in, gentiles are. The Jews are the natural branches, gentiles are the wild branches. We as gentiles owe some gratitude to the Jews for killing the Messiah as weird as it might sound. If they had accepted Him we as gentiles would probably be not redeemed and still under a death penalty, but because of what they did, we were allowed to partake of grace as gentiles.
Learn the parable of the wedding feast.
Mat 22:1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Mat 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Mat 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Mat 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Mat 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Mat 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Mat 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Mat 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Mat 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Mat 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Mat 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
The ones who made light of it and gave excuses are the ethnic Jews who were the original one invited but they gave excuses for not coming. The other people are the gentiles.
What is Gods definition of Jew? My CHOSEN people. He can choose whoever He wants. He even said He would make sons of Abraham from the stones.
It isn't about ethnicity as far as God is concerned, it's about faith and listening to Him and believing in Him.
How the heck do you figure that? Many ethnic Jews have and will fall by the wayside but….there always remains a remnant.
You are blind whether purposely or not I don't know.
This is how your thinking works. If one is bad, then all are bad. You don't want to deal with people on an individual basis, you want to condemn a whole people based on what some may have done. Should we apply the same standards to you and whatever you are, because I am sure we can find someone in your background who did something wrong?
You were saying what now?
Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Rev 7:5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Rev 7:8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
KEK. Looks like I got the mooslims all worked up.
Gen 17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
I'm not riled up, just getting some truth out and calling out the bullshit.
Exactly. The dragon is still trying to kill off the Jews because they still have a part to play. Anyone who has ever read the bible with understanding has probably noticed that God rarely picks the prettiest or richest or most eloquent people, He picks people that most people would think are incapable of being anything useful, but as you said, He does it to show His power and prevent them from being able to brag.
Ding, ding, ding.
Right.
Have you ever noticed how many times it's the SECOND son who inherits? That's why the Muslims get all worked up because Ismael WAS the first born and Abraham loved him, of course, what father wouldn't, but his mom stirred up too much strife so they were sent away. The descendants of Ishmael are still pissed about it today, but it does say that there will be enmity between the two houses until the end.
You again?
Floyd had choices too. He could have choose not to get drunk. He could have choose not to resist. He could have choose not to run and escape. He could have choose not to fight the cops. He could have choose not to take the taser away.
He choose….POORLY.
Have you read the book of Ruth or watched the movie? It has a lot of meaning when you understand it. The kinsman redeemer, that's what Yeshua was. By one man sin entered the world, by one man sin was vanquished. It had to be a son of man to open the book in Revelation.
Another interesting thing is, I never knew it until I heard Chuck Missler mention it, but when you know it, it becomes really powerful.
Ancient Jewish weddings had certain stages, the betrothal which was a covenant or contract, the groom would go home and prepare a place for his bride to be. When it was done his father told him to go get his bride, he couldn't just go, his father was the one who decided so the son had no idea when he was going to be able to go get his bride. The bride, didn't know either, so she would prepare for the groom coming to get her but it could be at any time so she had to be ready as soon as possible and always ready. Eventually the groom would go get her and take her back home to the place that was prepared.
Now, think about what the church is in relation to Yeshua. The church is the bride, He is the groom, when He left He said I go to prepare a place for you. The church is the bride.
Well, they did sort of recognize it, I mean He did have a triumphal entry but that didn't last long. Still, me being a gentile as far as I know, gets to partake of grace that otherwise I may not have been able to. God always has a way of turning satans evil plots into something beneficial.
Check this out. Don't know if you've ever seen it. You know the rock in Horeb that Moses struck, have you ever seen it?

Palestine is not a country. Its a Greek and Roman region.
Palestine (region)
Palestine (Arabic: Filasṭīn, Falasṭīn, Filisṭīn; Greek: Παλαιστίνη, Palaistinē; Latin: Palaestina; Hebrew: פלשתינה Palestina) is a geographic region in Western Asia usually considered to include Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and in some definitions, parts of western Jordan.
The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel (Hebrew: ארץ־ישראל Eretz-Yisra'el), the Holy Land or Promised Land, and represents the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant.
Located at the junction of Egypt, Syria, and Arabia, and being the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics. It has been controlled by numerous peoples, including Ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Israelites and Judeans, Assyrians, Babylonians, Achaemenids, ancient Greeks, the Jewish Hasmonean Kingdom, Romans, Parthians, Sasanians, Byzantines, the Arab Rashidun, Umayyad, Abbasid and Fatimid caliphates, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mamluks, Mongols, Ottomans, the British, and modern Israelis, Jordanians, Egyptians and Palestinians.
The boundaries of the region have changed throughout history. Today, the politically defined region comprises the states of Israel and Palestine (i.e. the Palestinian territories).
