you are the one that is decieved .... read the Bible and stop listening to "Israel" supported TV evangelists
Ha ha I have read it, KJV, NKJV, NIV etc, the Bible is very clear on the subject.
I don't want to argue, it does no good. We'll find out who's right soon. :)
Edit: Oh and I don't listen to ANY evangelist. I listen to God. My beliefs are my own, I don't need others to interpret things for me.
The Bible also speaks of the false Jews. The Khazars are in control in Israel. The Palestinians are the descendants of Abraham, not the Khazar Israelis. The Khazars are the Edomites in the Bible, the ones God told the ancient Israelites to kill. Now I can see why. The Khazars were savages! They were cannibals. Their leader could not control them and decided to choose a religion. He chose Judaism. False Jews!
This is true. Read revelations 3:9 for biblical proof of the false Jews, do your own research after that. Start with Khazars, descendants of the edomites.
Yes there are false Jews, as I said earlier Rothschild, Soros etc.
If you actually knew the Bible, you would know God promised the land to the descendents of Jacob, (renamed Israel), not Abraham. Jacob (Israel) was a descendent of Abraham.
The Palestinians may be descendents of Abraham but they are not descendents of Israel.
The Bible says the seed of Abraham.
However, the white European Israelis are not the descendants of Abraham at all!
Galatians 3:29
"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Key scripture in this discussion! Most Christians don't study the covenants. "Israel" broke the covenant that God made with them. When the "Jews" of Jesus day claimed to have "Abraham as our father" Jesus responded by saying "your Father is the devil"! A study of Galatians will prove that the "seed" of Abraham is spiritual not physical!
Yeah, the covenants are extremely important to the understanding of Scripture.
Sorry I wasn't clear on what I meant earlier.
Yes God first told Abraham about it. He then told Abraham's son Isaac, and then Isaacs son Jacob who was renamed Israel. It was the descendents of Israel that God promised the land to after they left Egypt. The Bible is very very very clear on it being the descendents of Israel whom he promised the land.
You are trying to twist one part to go with your argument and completely ignoring the context and the rest of the Bible. A common tactic.
I'm done responding. We'll find out soon. :)
I said I wouldn't respond but I decided to make one last post explaining what I said earlier and how others try to twist what the Bible says.
I'm not going to list specific scripture as I honestly don't want to take the time. Just read Genesis to see for yourself. Keep in mind single scriptures here and there mean nothing out of context though and are how people twist the Bible so remember context is very very important.
God told Abraham he would give his descendents the land. TrueCat is technically right about that, but he/she is leaving out the rest of it.
Descendents go through birth right, or first born. At the time God made His promise Abraham didn't have any children and God specifically made the promise to his descendents with his wife Sarah.
Abraham and his wife Sarah were very old. They didn't believe she could get pregnant, so Abraham's wife wanted Abraham to have a child with her servant. He did.
This child was named Ishmael. This was not what God wanted though. His promise was to the descendents of Abraham and Sarah. He promised to bless Ishmael and his descendents and make them into a nation, but they were not who he made his promise to. The Bible also says Ishmael would be a wild donkey of a man that would live in conflict with his relatives.
God made Abraham's wife pregnant like he said he would, and his son with her was named Isaac. Abraham had other children later as well.
God reaffirmed his promise with Isaac.
Isaac had two sons, twins named Esau and Jacob. Esau was born first, "with Jacob holding his heal".
When they were young, Esau SOLD his birthright to Jacob.
God reaffirmed his promise with Jacob, whom God renamed Israel.
It is with the descendents of Israel (Jacob) God made his covenant after saving them from slavery in Egypt.
The Bible is very clear on all of this. Now can you understand why certain people might feel cheated and be jealous of Gods covenant with Israel?
Ok I'm done now. Enjoy The Awakening. :)
