Thank You. I certainly have no quarrel with that. Indeed, I support that same Biblical interpretation.
But I am not referring to things metaphysical, simply Biblical and Historial genealogy. As when disussing the physical lineage of Jesus. A short summary of Israelite history and genealogy is RIGHT HERE.
Cordially...
Thanks for your cordial response.
OK, I must say I don't have any idea where this information you posted has it's source. You may be right...
But I must add that as a seminary graduate and teacher, I don't believe your understanding of Mathew 10:5... is correct. Gentiles were non Jews and Samaritans were half Jews (origin: sometime after 722 BC when Assyria conquered the northern kingdom, it moved the conquered people of northern Mesopotamia into Israel where intermarriage took place.
The kindom message of Christ was aimed at God's covenant peoples - the Jews - who were lost.
Now, here's the great thing... I still wish you the best. In comparison with understanding our need of a Savior, this is a minor point of discussion.
best, AMPU
