Truth does set free. The UB ain't it. You've asked me to look over your next portion and I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed, again. Sorry, but it is not even accurate. I've told you, I'd just rip it apart every paragraph for the uselessness it is to a Christian. So, with that....
Joseph Smith, Rutherford Hayes, they all said the same thing. I'm not impressed, not even a little.
You always have these amateur opinions. You'll not get this, but you and I are complete opposites on what is true and what ain't. One of us is deceived or is a devil, no?
A genuine offer isn't worried about 'never' but about the genuineness of the offer. It points to gentiles, but even Jesus refused to serve gentiles with only 1 exception and because the Kingdom offer was genuine at the time.
The 'sinners, tax collectors, politicians, and harlots' were ALL Jews.
You are projecting. You don't really listen so 'think' there is something more than what you are seeing. I'm incredibly more genuine than you imagine. The UB is junk fiction. You aren't going to be happy with my assessment:
JEWS AND GENTILES
I'd write this paragraph better, having had courses in Bible Lands and Customs. They weren't able to be as rigid as they'd like to have been because they were run by Rome. They were commanded to be a separate people. Even today, Jews do not proselytize. If a gentile wishes to convert, they are gentile converts, not really Jews because they alone received the promise from God through Abraham. That necessarily leaves others out. The reason they were against the Samaritans was because 1) they were intermarried and impure, thus left out of the promise and 2) trying to worship God on their own. There was no out reach to gentiles simply because God hadn't included them in these promises other than as they converted. They would worship in the 'Court of the Gentiles' outside of the inner worship area for Jews only. The guy/gal who wrote this doesn't seem to know his/her history very well (lousy students with amateur reporting and NOT dictated by celestials).
:nono: Matthew 15:26 and Matthew 7:6
Poor analysis. They were of course bound by the Law of God. The problem here was the added and misinterpreted traditions laid upon them. IOW, they were slaves to erroneous commentary and erroneous interpretation traditions.
Nope. This was the only thing they were enslaved by. Psalm 19:7-14 A reading of Josephus and early church history such as Foxes Book of Martyrs would be better than reading the UB summary. The temple was going to be destroyed, effectively ending the Jewish way of life. Synagogues would continue to teach, but this ended their sacrifices and worship as they restarted and lost their war with Rome. Again, poor history scholarship. The gospel spread in all directions in only the surrounding area around the Mediterranean (see
map). It eventually took hold in Europe between 300 and 600 A.D.
In the 50's when this was written, the little club didn't anticipate us finding N.T. manuscripts from the first century. Today, it renders the UB obsolete as far as reliable, even if one were to buy into the idea that Christianity was tainted. Even a reading of the Early Church Fathers, reveals that the early Church was very much against heresy from outside the scriptures and the scriptures we have were firmly established in the African Coptic churches as well as the churches in and around the rest of the Middle East. In addition, the Christianity, like Judaism, was resilient against outside influence, which explains the persecution of the first century church. Read this article about
Mithraic mysteries and especially the last four paragraphs. Again, the folks in the 50's are dated and wrong.
"If' (and I use that with a fictional tone) they received these from Celestials, such were demonic, because they are wrong.
Again, nothing new, and not as good as history books. It is a paraphrased gloss-over with erroneous commentary. It is a middle-schoolers history report, but for the length of it.
* It's clear that you buy into the Jews chosen people confusion, a development which eventually lead them to reject the Son of God incarnate.
The Kingdom established by Jesus was, is and will always be a spiritual fellowship of believers and for ALL of the world , not an especially chosen few with an exaggerated sense of self and distorted history. Jesus left Israel to it's own end. Today it's a museum to false speculation on the part of discredited, misguided nationalists .
* The Laws of Moses were human, all evolved religions have them. Moses was a reformer of previous practices. In that highly mystical, superstitious age, the escaping slaves revered Moses. The periodically erupting Sini was associated with the nature God Yahweh.
* The Jews never were "pure" to begin with. Not only did Moses consolidate other nomads at Sini with his escaping slaves, but the so called Israelites would eventually intermix with the Canaanites. Today they remain a mixture
even though the Hebrew redactors rewrote that they killed all the Canaanites. But the redactors left parts of the original history in the so called scripture every time they rewrote it to fit their chosen people speculation.
* The point of Melchizedeks selection of Abraham and the selection of Palestine, which was then the crossroads of the world, was for the
incarnation of the creator. At the time it was the best place for the original gospel to be spread to ALL the world.
But pride cometh before the fall,
being chosen went to the Jews heads as seen in their human writings about how they viewed themselves in relation to God (as they then understood God). They evolved a self segregated, self important religion which was incompatible with the reality of being part of the human family. Its a fact, they still sit in Israel today with stubborn hearts waiting for their Messiah.
The Jews lost sight of their calling, a calling based on Abrahams blind faith which they never really understood, it was a faith that became contaminated with conjecture and human speculation.
* That being said, there isn't anything in your reasoning which would lead one to conclude that you would have treated Jesus any differently had you been an Old Testament robot. You have the hard heart of a theology lawyer who just wont be reasoned with. It was actually Jesus that said their Father was the devil. We are indeed at complete opposites, but history and reality are on my side. Jesus left without doing any of the nationalist nonsense the Jews speculate a Messiah would do, Israel was destroyed as he said it would be based on their final rejection of Gods messengers, even his own Son, and today we are 2,000 years into "soon to return" to do what they speculated the first time.
The byproduct of the Pagan worlds atonement interpretation of the Jesus story is that it was Gods will that his innocent Son be rejected so his cold heart could finally forgive. This idea is a complete abomination and betrayal of the labor of Jesus on behalf of his original gospel. It contradicts the teaching of the gospel that faith is the price of salvation, that God was already a forgiving Father.
I believe in the
original, all inclusive gospel taught to the Jews by Jesus, the gospel they would be teaching today had they not been so Lon;
real, transformative salvation. You believe in killing Jesus as a human sacrifice for your own selfish interest,
theoretical salvation. Your theory is based on the speculative writings of Bronze Age holy men who had erroneous ideas of the fall of Lucifer and a young earth Adam and Eve.
* "In Babylon the Jews arrived at the conclusion that they could not exist as a small group in Palestine, having their own peculiar social and economic customs, and that, if their ideologies were to prevail, they must convert the gentiles. Thus originated their new concept of destiny—the idea that the Jews must become the chosen servants of Yahweh. The Jewish religion of the Old Testament really evolved in Babylon during the captivity." UB
* The authors of the UB didn't need first century manuscripts, they were here when Jesus was here. They know who wrote what, when and where. Jesus forbid the writing of anything while on earth for this very reason that you and others make them into Gods writing.
* So you've used your Bible studies to blow yourself up into a prideful balloon. A revelation comes along and ruffles your own chosen people arrogance, it is no wonder you react like a child throwing a tantrum.
* God is Love and for all people Lon.
