To: UriÂ’el-2012

according to Paul, the true Jew is one who believes in Jesus Christ. this is why the Church is the Israel of God.
if you belong to Christ, you are an heir to the promises made to Abraham. if you reject Christ, you will die in your sins.

I think we better let Paul speak for himself

Rm 3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? What is the value of being circumcised? 2 Much in every way! In the first place, the Jews were entrusted with the very words of God. 3 If some of them were unfaithful, so what? Does their faithlessness cancel God's faithfulness? 4 Heaven forbid!...28 Therefore, we hold the view that a person comes to be considered righteous by God on the ground of trusting, which has nothing to do with legalistic observance of Torah commands. 29 Or is God the God of the Jews only? Isn't he also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, he is indeed the God of the Gentiles; 30 because, as you will admit, God is one. Therefore, he will consider righteous the circumcised on the ground of trusting and the uncircumcised through that same trusting. 31 Does it follow that we abolish Torah by this trusting? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, we confirm Torah.

King James version of the NT says "confirm" means "establish". Isn't this the exact opposite of "abolish"? Now if YHVH speaking as "adam Yah'shua" said HE did not come to abolish Torah and Paul confirms this and is still teaching Torah almost 30 years after "adam Yah'shua" died; I do not think it is Paul who had the comprehension problem.

I know I am being redundant here, but it seems to be slipping in one ear & out the other, thus it bears repeating...

Matthew 19:17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

John 14:15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

1 John 2:4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him

It is NOT the house of Judah who has a covenant problem. They may not understand the the new covenant added to the earlier ones(change to the Priesthood that was placed in their care at the base of Mt Sinai) but they have NEVER been out of covenant. And most importantly, YHVH does NOT expect them to understand until HE Himself tells them because they have ALWAYS known who their Messiah is.

Is that a big “LOG” I see in your eye?.

Luke 6:42 How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me remove the splinter from your eye,’ when you yourself don't see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye

And quit trying to convert my Jewish brethren! It is not they that are the ones who are out of covenant
