And all of this is based on what Jesus said to the Jews who were under the law of Moses.. Jesus, by His own words, said He only came to the """LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL"". But you say He came to all and the church should do as He says. Looks to me like you are saying Jesus lied.
Yes. You are also in need of understanding scripture.
Do you understand that we, as Christians, (gentiles) have been grafted into the vine that is Jesus.
What does that mean to you? (can I expect an answer or some more scolding)
Do you think Jesus spoke ONLY to the Jewish nation?
Who was He talking about here:
John 10:16
And who was He talking about here:
John 12:46
Have you studied the covenants, by any chance?
Abraham was promised something by God...
That He would be the Father of many nations.
The Davidic Covenant:
The Son would be the King of many nations, of the whole world.
I do believe the Davidic Covenant was speaking about the coming Messiah.
So who is this speaking to?:
John 12:49-50
If Jesus is speaking the words of the Father,
and the Father made the promises to Abraham and David,
then the words of Jesus, the awaited Messiah are for EVERYONE in the world.
John 3:16
Now, if you belong to a church, and you are not following JESUS,
WHO are you following??
IF you are following Jesus, then you must absolutely adhere to all that He said. It's for everyone, just as He said.
There is only ONE church.
Ephesians 2:14
And while you're at it, also check out,
Mathew 25:32
Please explain how you understand the above verses.
Thanks.
