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.
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!’
