To: Thinkin' Gal; Prodigal Daughter
L 5361 philadelphos {fil-ad'-el-fos}
from 5384 and 80; TDNT - 1:144,22; adj
AV - love as brethren 1; 1
1) loving brother or sister

Good post!  Yes we see the two sticks.

1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.  17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

How can anyone claiming to be a Christian say that he loves God, but at the same time call Jews "Unbelievers" and worse or believe Christians have replaced Israel?  He cannot do that and be a true Christian.  He is deceived.  It is an outworking of Antinomianism, the false teaching that one does not have to obey God.

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

It's been too long since you've read I John, and what the apostle has to say about those who claim to know the God of the Bible while denying the Messiah, Jesus. It's been too long since you've read Ephesians 2, about the "ONE new man in Christ," and the abolition of racist distinctions.

What would you call people who do not accept Christ? "Unbeliever" is a term used repeatedly in Scripture. Anyone who rejects Christ as the Messiah is an unbeliever. God does not discriminate along ethnic lines.
