(blessed1195;24953)
Please keep studying! Have you ever read 1Peter4:17 where we are told judgement begins at the household of GOD? When I read your response, I prayed for you. Please keep seeking the truth before you mislead anyone and are held in judgement for it.The Old testament is our schoolmaster. Yes, Jesus is our savior and through forgiveness and repentance we can have a clean slate in the book of life and obtain eternal life, but how do you know how to be righteous and not sin, if you do not know the law, statutes, and ordinances given to us in the OT? When Jesus came in Matt 5: 17 )he said" Think not that I am come to destroy the law , or the prophets: I am not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18)" Verily, I say unto you Till heaven and earth pass,one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled"What this means, is that Jesus came to fulfill the Messianic prophesies in the OT ( Examples: Gen 3:15,Isaiah 7, Psalms22, and many more) and not one sound of the letter of the OT law is changed by him( jots and tittle are marks over the Hebrew letters that change the sound of the letter). Of course, blood ordinances were eliminated as we are told by Paul in Col.2:14" Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross"Also in 1 John 3:4" Whosoever comitteth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Once again, how do you know if you sin, if you do not know the law, statutes and ordinances from the Old Testament. In Rev 19;8 the wife of Christ's clothes "will be of fine linen, clean and white;for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints." So how can you ever be righteous, if you do not know what is right according to GOD?Now you made the false statement that Abraham was a gentile and a heathen. Not in my KJV. I recommend you have a Stong's KJV concordance with Hebrew/Chaldee and Greek dictionaries and a Green's Interlinear Bible. This is an inexpensive way to own a copy of the manuscripts used for the KJV. Abram was from the Adamic race, a descendant of Adam through Noah and Shem his father,Noah and Shem, Abram's father and grandfather were 2 of the 8 Adamic souls that were saved in the flood of Genesis 7. Gen 7:1 they had a pure pedigree, meaning they had not mixed with the fallen angels of Gen 6., so they along with two of every flesh would be saved by GOD. Bottom line is that You must study Genesis with understanding. You will see in Chapter 12:1, GOD is talking to Abram, In Gen 17 GOD changed his name to Abraham, the father of many nations, and made a covenant with him. The 12 tribes of Israel began with the 12 sons of Jacob. From Adam to Noah to Abraham, Isaac then Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel in Gen 32:28. Those we know as Jews today are primarily from the tribe of Judah, so that leaves many more tribes of Israel. That was what I believe Tim fromPA was trying to explain to you. The word Gentile # 1484 in the Greek dictionary is "ethnos" which are described as foreign races, non Jewish. Also called heathen,nation and peoples in the Bible. These are the ethnic races of today. # 1471 in Hebrew/chaldee Dictionary describes heathen. The word in hebrew is goy meaning a foreign nation;hence a Gentile, a troop of animals or a flight of locusts, also used interchangeably with Gentile, nations and peoples.Once again,I think "tim from PA" was trying to teach you about the lost tribes of Israel and you seem to reject it because it is not quoted from the Bible. As you become a deeper student you might want to look into history books like Antiquities of Josephus to help you better understand events as they actually happened. History means " His Story". The Bible is a story of a family ( made up of believers and unbelievers) and their encounters with others throughout the ages and from umbilical cord to umbilical cord from Eve to Christ and from Christ to the manymembered body, whether born of the 12 tribes or adopted. The adoption was opened up to all in the NT. In Acts 9:15"And the LORD said unto him,"Go thy way; for he is a chosen vessel to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Paul was given this order by Christ to teach to these 3 groups/on 3 levels so that John 3: 15/16 could be fulfilled. 15) "That whosoever believeth in him (Jesus)should not perish, but have eternal life". This applies to all races today. Not just Israelites as you stated. Also,The overcomers of Rev 3 that you quoted are GOD's elect and not just Israelites as you stated. This is another teaching for another day. But you might want to study Matt 24, Mark 13,Luke 21, 2 Thess 2. for yourself.I hope I am not overloading your donkey but I am led to reveal some more interesting facts. Abraham lived in UR of the chaldee nation( in IRAQ of today) but he was not one of Babylonians, he was of the Adamic race. Now what is the Adamic race?Let's start with the word adam # 119 in the Hebrew dictionary. In the manuscripts, when GOD made Adam on the eighth day, you will see him called ETH HA ADAM or "the man adam". 119 describes this adam as to show blood in the face, flush or turn rosy or ruddy (complected). GOD's husbandman or the one he created to tend the garden was the start of the ADAMIC Race that is the caucasian race that exists still today. E Raymond Capt's booklet" The Abrahamic Covenant" will show you historical and biblical accounts of the migrations of the 12 tribes. This booklet will give you the biblical verses you need to help understand the migration of the tribes. It's up to you to do the work.Jake,you have to decide if you want the truth.Most pastors today won't teach truth if it is controversial to their churches teachings, since they could lose their pensions.Most pastors won't teach you how to go back to the original manuscripts Even though the translators of the KJV, 1611 Authorized version, wrote a preface apologizing for mistakes made in the translations.You have to decide to trust in GOD or to trust in man( and Satan and the ways of the world). Please read Jeremiah 17:5-8 to help you make that decision. GOD or Satan,Blessings or cursings- your choice!
And, who are the Nonadamic races?
