The Israelites it appears to me are the bride of the Father, while Christians are the bride of the Son or Christ, So we marry into the family. The Israelites will be pivitol in the end times, and the seven year period called the tribulation. Thus the amazing re-formation of an Israelite nation. I'm not sure I follow everything you are saying or the point you are making as far as Christ being a Greek word, and Jesus being Jewish.AZ Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186956010362059534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512372733175324896.post-50757984367764481712011-05-20T08:57:48.287-07:002011-05-20T08:57:48.287-07:00Hello AZ...
Great to see you post this on your sit...Hello AZ...<br />Great to see you post this on your site. I was amazed also when I first heard this study of Genesis 5 by Dr. Chuck Missler. It is the "Gospel Message" in abbreviated form. You can also find God's plan in the first sentence of the Word as well as the first word of the Bible. How do you see this perhaps one asks? Well, I'm glad you asked!!!<br />Those names from Gen 5 are Hebrew names. Imagine for a moment God's plan for the ages. He needs to communicate with His creation and writes a book in Hebrew through specific men he has called to do so... 40 men of God who wrote the 66 books of the Bible over a 1500 year period, all with the same thread woven through every book, God's plan for the ages.<br />The Bible is a Jewish book, written by Jews, Jesus or "Yeshua" is Jewish, coming back as a Jew, and the early church was comprised of Jews. We as gentiles are fortunate to be "grafted in" to the Jewish tree. Romans 11<br />Some in the western church think that God is through with Israel as many of the "early church fathers" promulgated a doctrine of hatred for the Jews, calling them vermin, swine and Christ killers. Therefore we see the replacement theology of today saying that God is through with Israel and the "Church" has replaced Israel... Not so according to the Word.<br />Christ is a Greek term and I would suggest in love and challenge my brothers and sisters in the Lord as well as those who do not believe to research and for believers... "study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing the Word of Truth" 2 Tim.2:15Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512372733175324896.post-87100244927362027402011-05-17T08:02:00.943-07:002011-05-17T08:02:00.943-07:00Hey Rob.

Of course once it apparently posted I didn't keep a copy of what I wrote, so it's gone into the ether now.

Right now your intollerance of my faith and belief really does not picture "getting along". Your inability to ignore it and as your quote says "let it be" say something different than "get along". You see God is something that is central to my life and purpose, and I talk about it often, so If you were intolerant of that I'm sure I would be a bother to you. I on the other hand would continue to show you love and compasion, in spite of your intollerance. Balthasar my God loves you and so do I.

I know you can't see it, but such judgment calling my belief convoluted self-deception and misguided and wasteful, infering a lack of inteligence, and shallowness is unkind in the least. I'm sorry I feel you are wrong and really are blind to spirit. Anyway arguing with you won't be fruitful so I forgive you for making such an attack of my belief, and I pray that you will come to see it in time. I once was proud like you thinking Christians were fools and that I knew it all. God got my attention, and my friend I have no doubt. It is not something vauge and shallow, but deep and real, and profound.

Arizona, I like your website for the music (our tastes are similar and I'm sure we'd get along) but the Christianity is misguided and wasteful. You were born with an intelligence that you're turning away from when you attempt to explain deep mysteries with shallow answers - which is all you'll ever get from religion. We have just one life, and no 'afterlife', so we need to accept that we'll never know how or why it is as it is. As Iris DeMent once wrote: "Let the mystery be".Balthasarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551204319326008360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512372733175324896.post-1494518398399452372011-05-13T17:59:55.786-07:002011-05-13T17:59:55.786-07:00Wow! just wow!
