    “Your Father is the Devil”: A Radical Reading of John 8:44 in Light of Religious History

    Very interesting. Angels are quite mysterious already, then you make this assertion. I've always understood fallen angels to be demonic spirits, with the ability to inhabit humans. It strengthens my belief that they inhabit a particular group of people that have rejected Jesus Christ right...

    “Your Father is the Devil”: A Radical Reading of John 8:44 in Light of Religious History

    To be more specific in my language, yes, definitely a type or picture of Jesus Christ. He was acting in the Spirit of the Lord.

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    That's the difference between a true believer and someone who does not have "eyes to see".

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    It's metaphorical or spiritual language which runs all throughout the Bible. Israel in it's most relevant sense is the people of God, whom Christ rules over: ( This is from Strong's Concordance): ISRAEL (# 3478) Hebrew: ישׂראל Transliteration: yiώrâ'êl Pronunciation: yis-raw-ale' Definition...

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    Galatians 6:15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation. How much clearer does it have to get? If God is telling us numerous times that He no longer "plays favorites", why do Christian zionists?

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    No. The Israel of God according to the Bible is anyone in Christ who is a new "creation": Galatians 6:15-16: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but a new creation. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the...

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    The only " Israel" that has any significance or importance in God's salvation plan is the " Israel of God" , made up of all who are in Christ Jesus. What will it take for the church to realize they've been duped into thinking a jew is special to God just because they are a jew? Please, let's...

    “Your Father is the Devil”: A Radical Reading of John 8:44 in Light of Religious History

    I'm saying that Melchizedek was a spiritual / physical manifestation of Jesus Christ

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    I'm sorry but that's not true. The kingdom of priests and the holy nation have their FULFILLMENT in each and every person who is redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. I don't think you realize that the nation of Israel is no longer being used by God, neither in the future. He " spiritually"...

    WHAT GOSPEL DID JESUS PREACH?

    I'm sorry I saw your statement: "The gospel of the kingdom is for the jew only" and I felt it in my heart to disagree with scripture. The good news ( gospel) is the kingdom of heaven, " new Jerusalem" , prepared by Jesus Christ for His people. His people are all who believe in Him, and that...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    I have for many years now. " All Israel" can only mean one thing: all of God's elect, jew and Gentile. " And so ( "so" meaning in this manner) all Israel shall be saved. In verse 27 God's covenant with" them" is referring to all believers, because there is only one covenant that was made to take...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    Do you believe that when Jesus comes all the jews are going to become saved? I don't see that in scripture.

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    Not stupid at all. It's a spiritual seed as well as physical in which Christ came. Throughout Israel's history, there was always a remnant from each tribe that was faithful to God , covered by the blood of Christ. God was angry with Israel mixing with other nations, as they were commanded to...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    I just saw this : "It clearly states that Edom, the descendants of Esau (those who currently claim to be Jews)," Well I partially agree here. The " jews" of the world today are descendants of Eastern European converts to Judaism. To come from a bloodline that clearly traces back to the Old...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    You said: " Now ask yourself what people do you know that is a minority in the country but a majority in the penal institution (jail)?" That's so untrue. There are practically no jews in jail. The ones that are were not able to flee back to Israel, FACT. Many of the higher profile offenders...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    I like the fact that you give me such low hanging fruit. #1 " True Jews" are Romans 2 Jews..... circumcised in the heart. #2 National Israel fell because of their utter rebellion towards God . They lost their land and were dispersed as punishment. While there were periods of time when they were...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    When you said " The bible contains the word of God and that word was given to Israel and Israel only." You don't understand God's plan of salvation. God gave His Word to all whom He came to save. The world has no desire to trust in His word let alone read it. Your "chosen people " have a...

    The Lost sheep of Israel, even to this day.

    I don't know what Old Testament you are reading, but the nation of Israel rejected God .....read much of Jeremiah? The exception is the remnant saved by grace, the spiritual seed of Abraham. The only promise that God made for the nation of Israel is Jesus Christ. And they didn't want Him.Even...

    Well here I certainly agree with you.
