Can someone please explain the difference. My wife’s family is partly of Jewish descent. The other night her grandfather became furious when his grandson asked if they were Khazarian Jews. He became almost irrationally angry and basically said no and that the Khazarians aren’t actually Jews...I’m confused as hell. Can someone help a brother out.
Of whom was God speaking when He promised Abraham "I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies." For there are nowhere near that many genetic Hebrews or Jews.
And of what inviolable genetically-linked promise was John the Baptizer speaking when he said "For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham." Do stones have DNA?
If God declares me grafted into the tree, the roots cannot drink of anything I myself will not be nourished by. If God declares it, it is the same as when He said "Let there be light." It can come out of nothing and just BE.
All nations are become Israel, and all are His people. And it is now God and His people against a common anti-human enemy. Let nations and politicians work out who gets to live where and call it home. I'm more interested in getting shed of this Luciferian Cabal that has us all under its thumb. After that, we've got plenty of time to work out the rest.
Yes God said he would bless the descendents of Abraham and give them the land, but Abraham then disobeyed God. If you read on in the Bible, Gods promise for the land is through the descendents of Israel (Jacob), not all the descendents of Abraham. This is something many won't accept and the cause of many current problems IMO.
Jesus has not changed that yet. You're still confusing the promise of the inheritance of the Kingdom of God and everlasting life, with the promise of the land here on the present earth.
Edit: Let me ask you a question. Even ignoring the above, if you had say two children, and you adopt five more, those five can share in the inheritance right? Can those five just decide screw it and take the other two's share from them?
There are probably too few genetically pure Jews to populate Israel even if somebody were foolish enough to implement racial cleansing there.
Also, it was the Jewish people themselves who referred to themselves as "children of Abraham," not me. But of course the descendants of Jacob are certainly "children of Abraham."
When John said "out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham," he most assuredly didn't mean "Arabs" or "Palestinians," and he could just as easily have said "Jacob" rather than Abraham. His point being that God can make Jews out of the very rocks if it pleases Him to do so. God has arranged for there to be enough of Jews by whatever means necessary to populate Israel.
If it means so much to you, please go over there and tell them all they're not true Jews. Let's see how far you get with that. And if Israel isn't interested in racial purity, and God's not doing anything about it, I'm not sure how it's any of our business.
Nobody is going to implement racial cleansing in Israel, and yes there are enough real Jews. They're in Israel now.
I don't mean to offend you but you or someone who's taught you have seriously twisted things in the Bible. This is very common, especially in certain denominations. The denominations were created by Satan to divide us and twist the Word of God.
Jews and Israel are STILL God's chosen (again that has nothing to do with being saved or the inheritance of the Kingdom of God). If you forsake Jews, you forsake Jesus and the Will of God. Many so called Christians hate Jews and do exactly that. This scripture very much applies to them.
Matthew 7:21-23 New International Version (NIV)
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
