he doesnt know what anti-semetiscm is. i know what that is. i have learned to look for that stuff.
Not a fan of Jew bashing.
please , smaller i know far more about blind jews then you will ever know. my grandmother died last year. theres much about judiasm i wish i know more about so that i could do as i do now to reach her.
i spend alot of time reading jewish articles and discussing them. i know and see their blindness. the jews said clearly to pilot" His blood be upon us and our children.." and"crucify him" that to me says they knew what they were doing and wanted him did.
feel free read some that i have posted here. chai isreal.(long live isreal!)i may be a christian but isreal is never far from heart. but i will not place isreal above my LORD.
uh no. theres one here you have engaged and i know you dont know nor see it. im not that one.
tell me what do they the kkk teach on jews, the talmud? or what the does the modern anti-semite say about isreal and 9-11? or the international bankers?
what verses do they use to say that isreal isnt God choosen? that real isreal is white not the kenites? what verse or book do they use?
Paul's point of fact remains. God Himself PUT a covering upon them so they could neither hear or see. It is quite pointless to blame them for what God did.
Romans 9:21
Hath not the potter power over the clay
s
no poster here has said that. i would know, as i would say something of that. to call the jews who murdered our Lord on the cross cant be anti-semite.
if not then why does god call ancient isreal WORSE then sodom and gommorah? did he hate them too?
so then why then do jews like me come to the lord? why did others jews come to the lord? smaller what exactly is a jew? a hebrew? and isrealite to you?
i didnt come to the lord over any prophecy about isreal. trust me i came to the lord because my life was in shambles. my brother is the same reason. my dad im sure too.
sheesh, zionism doesnt mix well with the bible. its not for Isreal so loved the world that he died for them.
rather its the world. he went to the house of isreal to get them to get on board his plan of salvation and some did but many didnt. the twelve did. they are of isreal not those that rejected.
annias, and the pharisees that denied the lord are anti-christs and they died likely as such. paul was one and so was others(the 3000)
The Ramban1 notes that the three wells dug by Yitzchok hint at the three Temples the two that have been destroyed, and the third, which will be built when our righteous Moshiach comes, may it be speedily in our days.
"A well of living waters" alludes to the Temples, for they are called "living waters." When G-d first commanded that the Tabernacle be built, He said:2 "And you shall make for Me a Temple ([a holy place], and I shall dwell among them." Our sages3 observe that it would seem more appropriate for the verse to have said, "And I shall dwell in it." Why then does the verse say "I shall dwell among them"?
It means to teach us, say our sages, that G-d dwells within each and every Jew, that every Jewish mind and heart is a Temple to G-d.
There are two ways of serving G-d: drawing down from above, and elevating that which is below.
The Temple is termed a "well," because, like a well, the main services there involved elevating that which was below.
The service of Torah study is an example of drawing down that which is above. When a person conducts himself in accordance with the Torah, its light illuminates all his physical affairs. Torah is wholly "above," for it is G-d's wisdom and will.4 It illuminates what is "below," as it is written: "and Torah is illumination."5 All that is necessary [for the illumination to permeate this world] is for a person to conduct himself in accordance with the Torah.
The second kind of spiritual service is elevation from below, a prime example of which is prayer. Prayer elevates all that is below by purifying and refining it. This is like a well, drawing up from below, as it is written:6 "Well, arise!" Though the service of prayer, similar to a well, is from below to above, nevertheless it is to be permeated with the spirit of Torah, just as the study of Torah must be in accordance with the humility that permeates prayer, as our sages have said:7 "One should begin praying only after attaining a state of serious [and humble] demeanor."
Contemplating G-d's greatness during prayer helps one realize the true quality of Torah that it is G-d's divine wisdom and will, and therefore must be studied with humility. The verse8 states it thus: "My tongue shall but repeat Your sayings," like one who repeats exactly what he has heard. When one studies Torah, one should feel as if he were repeating [after G-d] the divine words which are Torah.
All this results from one's service of prayer. Similarly, one's prayer should be in accordance with Torah. This then is the meaning of "Garden springs; a well of living waters..." The spiritual service that resembles "a well of living waters" reveals the "garden springs" of the soul.
In summary: The three wells hint at the three Temples. The first and second Temples were destroyed because of our sins. This is the meaning of Eisek and Sitnah, argument and enmity [sins of baseless hatred that caused the destruction of the Temple]. Rechovos, "broad spaces" refers to the third Temple, which shall be eternal. The service of Torah is to draw down, and the service of prayer is to elevate.
so then why then do jews like me come to the lord? why did others jews come to the lord? smaller what exactly is a jew? a hebrew? and isrealite to you?
i didnt come to the lord over any prophecy about isreal. trust me i came to the lord because my life was in shambles. my brother is the same reason. my dad im sure too.

Romans 10
King James Version (KJV)
10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
smaller. jew bash? yeah. uhm i dont mention the man jesus to jews they get insulted. i use other means. i call jesus the living breathing torah.
Very true. Paul had no issues in participation in their ceremonial activities. Though he may very well have seen same much differently then they.i call him all that isreal is.i tell them that jesus quote moses and corrected the pharisees on their torah and taught Love from the torah. i tell them that they dont have to stop being kosher if they dont want too. i tell them other things that i can speak on their terms from their tanach to show what the christians have.
The best example you will ever put forth is Christ in you showing Love and Mercy abundant. The 'fruit' of His Produce. And you also exhibit excellent wisdom above as well.i have done this to an orthodox jewess. she didnt convert but she did admit this" i never heard of jesus as a jew like you put him!" i can even show them in the torah where he is mention and by the gemetria. they know about that and also can use their scholars to point them to our lord.
The 'land' we are to receive is our own eternal body. Their 'land' was a sideshow in the natural of the main event yet to come. And many of them will also understand this. Even the Pharisees held to the resurrection.i did just that in this thread with the ramban quote.so please, isreal that context is a nation of PEOPLE. God wants people, the land was a blessing because he loved them and it has a context of what his redeemed then and now are going through.
ok so then we agree? that that verse in romans speaks not of a returned isreal physically but a remnant of isreal that is saved? hmm makes sense to me.
not that the kingdom wont be restored to them but we arent meant to know as jesus said i dont know and you arent to concern yourself with that. see acts 1:8
