Christian Study

I have had a few back and forth on line discussions with people concerning God’s Law. I support God’s Law. Most churches teach it is done away. If the person I am discussing with has good knowledge, logic and discernment they will finally say, “Ok, God’s Law is still valid today, but it is only for Israel.” They are then 100% correct. Now you know why it is so important for scripture understanding to know who is the real Israel of God.

We no longer do sacrifices or the ordinances of the Levitical Priesthood. Christ is our sacrifice. Christ is our High Priest. God’s morals have never changed. Murder, theft and adultery are still sin. If the Law was done away, which Christ said would not happen, Matthew 5:17-19, then there would not be sin and a need for a savior.

Matthew 5:17-19 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill (do). For 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. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Our God and thus the Bible are very logical. As I have written before Grace can not exist without Law. It is logical if you think about it.

To support the false doctrine of God’s Law being done away, the meaning of the word fulfill has been changed in this one verse from to do or satisfy to complete or end. Christ did fulfill the Law and satisfied what the Law required of Him, Luke 24:44. Notice the verb tense both Christ and Paul used here and above. Did Christ complete or end love? This verse says that love is the doing of the Law.

Romans 13:10 “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

(The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people as proven by the bible, history and Jewish writings. As a people they are anti-Christ and enemies of God. By their own writings, 90% are of Khazar, Ashkenaz descent. Esau is Edom, Genesis 36. “Edom is in modern Jewry”, The Jewish Encyclopedia. 9% are of Edomite, Canaanite descent. These are the descendants of those who argued with Christ and saw to Christ’s death. See what he told them in John 8 and 10. They admitted they were not Israelites. Blessing God’s enemies brings punishment to us and they know about Balaam.)

A lot has been written and even movies made showing the importance of every word and that there can be hidden meaning in every word in the Bible. At the same time many things that are not hidden are not understood or ignored. Many have been taught to ignore the Bible’s own definition for terms.

The Bible defines its own terms. Scripture defines the word Glory when it is used for a people. “Israel my Glory”. True Israel is God’s glory. It is still Israel and only Israel. There is no scripture that changes or modifies this. Preachers are known to ignore the context and give the term to other people. It does help in understanding this if you have the correct people. Those who make the claim are not God’s glory.

Isaiah 46:13 “I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.”

Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”.

All of the above terms are defined by scripture as for God’s true physical Israel.

Daniel 2:44a “And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people”.

A lot has been written and even movies made showing the importance of every word and that there can be hidden meaning in every word in the Bible. At the same time many things that are not hidden are not understood or ignored. Many have been taught to ignore the Bible’s own definition for terms.

In Romans 11, Paul talks about Wild and Good Olive Trees and grafting of branches from one to the other. Major doctrines have been created with the incorrect use of these words trying to substitute other people for Israel. This is partly the fault of the translators for putting a Latin word, Gentiles, in an English translation, thus hiding the true meaning of scripture to protect their position and possibly their lives from the church of England. The Hebrew and Greek words translated Gentile mean only Nation. The context of the passage determines the who of the word nation. Many times it is the divorced House of Israel.

Romans 11:17 “And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree”.

Romans 11:24 “For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?”

Paul talks about Wild Olive trees and Good Olive trees and grafting of branches from wild to good then concludes with the following.

Romans 11:25-28 “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Nations be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.”

There were two houses of Israel, the House of Judah who had the election. The House of Israel who had lost the right to be called Israel and were then called Nations (Gentiles) in the scripture. There is no other covenant, but the one made with the two houses. The Wild Olive tree is the House of Israel. The Good Olive tree is the House of Judah. Paul’s conclusion was not that all Israel and non-Israel would be saved. Paul said,

“And so all Israel shall be saved”, Romans 11:26a.

A lot has been written and even movies made showing the importance of every word of the Bible and that there can be hidden meaning in every word in scripture. At the same time many things that are not hidden are not understood or ignored. Many have been taught to ignore the Bible’s own definition for terms.

The Bible defines its own terms. Scripture defines the word Elect. “Israel mine elect”. True Israel is God’s elect. That election has never been changed or removed. It is still Israel and only Israel. It does help in understanding this if you have the correct people. Remember, it is the world that is upside down, not the Kingdom of God. Now you can read the following with the correct definition.

Isaiah 42:1 “Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Nations.”

Matthew 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Matthew 24:31 “And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Mark 13:20 “And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.”

Mark 13:22 “For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.”

Mark 13:27 “And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”

Luke 18:7 “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?”

Romans 8:33 “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.”

Romans 9:11 “(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)”

Romans 11:5 “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.”

Romans 11:7 “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded”.

1 Thessalonians 1:4 “Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”

Titus 1:1 “Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness”.

1 Peter 1:2 “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

1 Peter 2:6 “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.”

2 Peter 1:10 “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall”.

2 John 1:1 “The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth”.

2 John 1:13 “The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.”

The modern churches have taught that God broke all of His promises. The old testament shows God selecting Abraham and then Isaac. Then selecting Jacob, but refusing Esau even to the point of saying that He hates Esau and that there would be enmity with Amalek, Esaus’ decendants, forever. With each selection God included many promises. They are all through the old testament while many are fulfilled in the new testament and continue to be kept even today.

Yet the churches teach that God just couldn’t get Israel to follow him and so God loves everyone. Even more shocking is that the churches teach that the people who hate God more than any other people are God’s chosen people.

The new testament shows God keeping His promises. Christ said,

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”, John 10:27

There is no verse that supports maybe someday.

The churches try to make the Bible work with the falsehood of the world. Understand the falsehood of the world by the Bible. When you understand who are the correct people in the world by the Bible, one sees that God has never stopped keeping all of His promises. The new testament shows us a God who keeps His promises.

Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”.

Romans 15:8 “Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers”.

2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”

2 Corinthians 7:1 “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”

Galatians 3:16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”

Galatians 3:21 “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.”

Hebrews 6:12 “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Hebrews 7:6 “But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.”

Hebrews 8:6 “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”

Hebrews 11:13 “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

Hebrews 11:17 “By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son”.

Hebrews 11:33 “Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions”.

2 Peter 1:4 “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

The English word Adoption is found five times in the new testament. The Greek word that means the same as the English word adoption is not found in the new testament. Major doctrines have been created with the incorrect use of the word.

Romans 8:15 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”

Romans 8:23 “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”

Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants,2 and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”.

Galatians 4:5 “To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”

Ephesians 1:5 “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will”.

The word found in scripture that is translated adoption means “the placing as a son, in respect to God”. It was a coming of age ceremony for those who were sons being put into the place of a son. This was not for those who were not sons being placed as sons.

Even Paul said that those under the Law were waiting for the placement of sons as an Israelite. False doctrine breeds more false doctrine. The concept that the majority of those who claim Christ as their savior are some second choice people who had to be brought in or adopted into the fold was created to deal with the incorrect idea that the modern day Jews are God’s chosen. The Bible is so much easier to understand when one has the correct people as God’s chosen.

Matthew 13:24-30 “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Tares have been planted. Many more are being planted now. This parable has been happening for a while and is happening in greater numbers now. The enemy is not dealt with in this parable, but those they used to try to destroy God’s Kingdom are dealt with here. The Bible defines its own terms. Don’t guess.

The Bible defines its own terms. When the word sheep is used for people, it is always Israelites and only Israelites.

1 Kings 22:17 “And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.”

2 Chronicles 18:16 “Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.”

Jeremiah 50:17 “Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.”

Micah 2:12 “I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.”

Matthew 10:6 “But go rather to the lost (put away and punished) sheep of the house of Israel.”

Matthew 15:24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost (put away and punished) sheep of the house of Israel.”

There is never any other verse of scripture that equates or adds any other non-Israelite people as sheep. After all of the above some still try to use the following to negate the scripture.

John 10:16 “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

What many forget or were never taught is that after the time of King Solomon, the nation of Israel split into two separate kingdoms or folds of sheep. The problem is that after the Northern ten tribes were divorced by God and sent into captivity, the scripture never calls them Israel, but promises that they would once again become a part of the kingdom. That is found in Hosea and shown to be fulfilled in Ephesians 2. There are today many nations of Israelites, but only one fold under Christ.

Notes: The Greek word translated lost, would be better translated as “put away and punished”.

A lot has been written and even movies made showing the importance of every word and that there can be hidden meaning in every word in the Bible. At the same time many things that are not hidden are not understood or ignored. Many have been taught to ignore the Bible’s own definition for terms.

In John 8:39 and Romans 8:16-17 the word Children is used to mean a specific people. This is also differentiated from seed.

John 8:39 “They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.”

Romans 8:16-17 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

In the above Christ acknowledged that those He was talking to were descended from Abraham, that they were of Abraham’s seed, but that they did not qualify as children. Christ’s own definition for the word children includes: They must be born from Abraham. They must have been in bondage.

All of Abraham’s descendants through Jacob had been in bondage many times. Abraham’s descendants through Esau had not.

The “Jews” who were arguing with Christ were not Israelites. They were of Esau who is Edom, Genesis 36. “Edom is in modern Jewry”, The Jewish Encyclopedia

The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people as proven by the bible, history and Jewish writings.

A lot has been written and even movies made showing the importance of every word in the bible and that there can be hidden meaning. At the same time many things that are not hidden are not understood or ignored. Many have been taught to ignore the Bible’s own definition for terms.

Romans 1:6 “Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ”.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

In Romans 1:6 and 8:28 is the phrase “The Called” It is a specific people. The Bible defines that phrase in Isaiah 48:12.

“Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.”

Romans 8:28 is specifically about Israel and only Israel.
