Today unfortunately many so-called theologians due to a lack of knowledge have accepted without question the perverted definition of the word "Gentiles" which has come to mean "non-jew". There is no such word as "Jew" in the N.T., nor is there a word for "non-jew" it simply has been manufactured as a fraud over the last couple of hundred years. Bible teachers, western churches, colleges, etc, have made the word "Judean" into "Jew" as though all residents of Judea were Israelite. Which is shear nonsense, for most of Judea was populated by Edomites and other races, only a small minority were true Israelite descendants of Judah. Because Edomites were called "Judeans" they have translated into modern English as "Jews" and imply that they were the true descendents of the House of Judah."Gentiles" is translated from the original Koine Greek word "ethnos" the definition of the Greek word has never been "non-jew"! The word ethnos means "tribe, clan, race, family" or "of a like kind", the word was used by the Greek speaking Israelites of the time of christ to refer to those of the same family or tribe who had become estranged or distant. This is a deliberate mistranslation designed as a fraud to pervert the true word of God which is of course still preserved for anyone to discover and learn the true meaning. Unfortunately many Christians have been led astray, God "sends strong delusion" and one must prove oneself worthy in these testing times."An Etymological Dictionary of The English Langauge" - Walter. W. Skeat.Gentile - "belonging to the same clan. - L. gentil-, decl. stem of gens , a tribe, clan, race. From GEN, to beget, produce; also genteel."Genteel - "belonging to a noble race, well bred, graceful. orig. beloning to the same clan; also a gentile. See Gentile."This is the meaning of the word "Gentile" and in no streatch of the imagination can the true linguistic definition of the English word translated from the Greek word "ethnos" mean "non-jew", that is simply a lie, in actual fact it means the complete opposite, it means of the same race, of the same clan and family. So now we can understand the scriptures better when the veil is lifted, it is relatively easy if one can read Koine Greek, but with a good Greek Lexicon and Etymological dictionary one can cut through the many lies that surround the true Word of God.Matthew 28:19-20 literal translation from Greek original is:"Going therefore, disciple ye all the tribes (ethne/ethnos) baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatever I commanded to you; and behold I am with you all the days until the completion of the age.":shepard:
