Now here Jesus says that Abraham's children who are His sheep- Israel would do the works of Abraham and not seek to kill him, but these "jews" are Abraham's seed, this is only possible and because they were never in captivity if they were decended from Esau which they were for Herod the Pharisees, the scribes, those who call them selves "Jews" who killed Christ were from Esau/Edom. And our Lord identifies them as such.Let's test that by scripture, shall we since I am a man who reads it straightforward:
And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days.
The "Jews" were never in captivity, Judah and Israel were.
And again,He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
That's right they did not recieve him but His own did not murder Him.Because as Jesus said (speaking of the children of Israel)
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Yes.
And in the end times these same people will have a change of heart as prophesied in Zechariah:
Yes but not the "jews" that is impossible as the truth is not in them and they are not Israel.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Ans Israel and Judah did mourn, as one mourneth his only son, and felt guilt and bitterness, but not the "Jews" read what they say about Jesus and Christians in their Talmud.
How can we be sure that some of his own people pierced him?Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
John 19:7
"The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God"
Song and dance all you like, but I made my case and careful observation will show these are not parables nor taken out of context.
I think you should reconsider your position prayerfully.
So.... seeing this error in the church, Satan as usual comes as an angel of Light and then asks "why not make Judah lost as well? Just say the Jews are not Judah." And then the pendulum swings the other way without regard for anything in the middle. The bottom line: nobody wants to be a conformist in the slightest detail. However, saying something opposite is a conformist---- a negative conformist. People always have to swing to one extreme or the other, never a middle ground in these things. I've proven to any biblical satisfaction that the Jews are Judah and yet there are some that song and dance around that scripture and I suspect just to be at odds because the mainline teaches it. well, sometimes the mainliners are correct. Read my online book below Judah's Sceptre Joseph's Birthright. Section 1 chapter nine Rev. Allen makes a very good SCRIPTURAL case for the Jews being Judah. Oh to go back to the days when preachers were once humble and unassuming like him and not call one names because they did not agree with their teaching! (I'm turning around and dropping my pants again.)
The Jews say they are not Judah, the Jews say they follw the Talmud not the bible and they ay they are decended from the Pharisees and all true Christians know via the Word of God that this is true, and the sure words of Jesus Christ Himself tells us.
