WHy would God give so much to the Israelites simply because of Abraham ? Does it make sense for a father to be so biased to one child and forget th eothers ? Or is this just bullshit dreams of a two bit nation ?
I mean the claim that Israel is the promised land is also pathetic. its not, even today its a dry terrible place, hardly better than europe for example which is much greener, and has more water. This lack of geographic knowledge shows the authors didnt really know what a prpmised land would look like.
I think this is another thread, mP, and I think I even responded to something like this from you on anther thread recently.
Really ? So why did the apostles judge that gentiles couldnt receive the message ?
Because that is what they had been formerly taught... and did not know better until Christ taught Peter otherwise. They did not SEE, until Christ showed Peter. (though Paul learned that from Christ as well, and perhaps others did too... we just have that account of Him teaching Peter, who did NOT know)
Why did Jesus say he came too only preach to the jews ? Is that not judging an audience based on race ? Isnt that sad ?
He did not say that. He said He came for the lost sheep of Israel. The Jews only make up one portion (two - Judah and Benjamin); there are still ten other tribes. In any case, He came to them FIRST... then after being rejected, the invitation to become kings and priests with Christ opened to ANYONE who would hear and accept that call. Remember who it was who taught Peter to go to the Gentiles, that God does NOT show favoritism, that the invitation is open to ALL with the faith to hear and accept. But we have had this conversation many times, mP. No need to get drawn into it again, is there? Peace, tammy
