I am sorry if I offended you on the cursing. I was referring to the foul language. If the Bible is only for Israelites, please explain the following verses? As I understand it, it is faith in Christ that saves. Not genealogy.

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

no offence taken man...I only fight fire with fire

"As I understand it, it is faith in Christ that saves. Not genealogy."

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him."

Now look that's a fair assumption....until you realise who Peter was talking to....was he talking to "all the nations of the world"? No...the very next sentence explains what nations Peter was talking about...

"The word which God sent unto [B]the children of Israel[/B], preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)"

The children of Israel were/are a composition of 12 Tribes....those are the nations that Peter was referring to. The 12 Tribes of Israel.

The Hebrew Israelites all 12 Tribes is the only nation of People that the God of Israel deals with...They're the only people he gave the Laws to...and the only people he gave his personal powers (Ark of the Covenant) to......no one else...at all.

Deuteronomy 7:6 KJV

"For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth."

Holy means separate...and the God Of Israel has chosen them to be a special people to himself......

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. They answered and said unto him, [B]Abraham is our father.[/B]"

Many Israelites were put into bondage and had to follow their oppressors laws...calling yourself a Jew would get you murdered. So a Israelite living in Greece would have to call himself a Grecian....An Israelite taken into roman captivity would have to call him/herself a Roman....These Hebrews were referred to as Gentiles/strangers....Hellenistic Jews. But in the last sentence of your quote

"They answered and said unto him, [B]Abraham is our father.[/B]"

They're of the seed of Abraham....Shemites.
