A Light Unto The Nations

[MJB12741]

Christianity is a refutation of Judaism.

Aha. So tell us what in the Bible denies there would be no Christians if not for the Jews?

Christianity sprung from Christ, not from the Jews. Jesus didn't question God's ancient laws, which were still in effect. He condemned the Jews (Judaism) for not keeping them. However, his ministry was to build his church among the other Israelites, to whom "he was sent only". Sent by God the Father of course.

So then what did Jesus name "his church"? Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

 

[MJB12741]

So you don't like the faith that gave us Western Civilization.

Why is that?

Great question. Whakawhetai Koe

Christianity is a refutation of Judaism and preceded "western civilization" by centuries. Western civilization is built on the Abrahamic "national" promises given to Joseph's descendants. All the Jews got was the lineage of Christ.

1 Chronicles 5:2
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler (David, Christ); but the birthright was Joseph's.

And who do you imagine were the descendants of Joseph?

The "church of God" is what the early Christians called it.

 

[Woodznutz]

And who do you imagine were the descendants of Joseph?

Most notably Ephraim and Manasseh. "Joseph" and "Ephraim" are used interchangeably in much of "Israel's"** history after the split from the Jews.

** After the split the name "Israel" was given to the ten tribes. The Jews were never called "Israel" from that time forward. The modern state of Israel has falsely appropriated the name.

 

[MJB12741]

The "church of God" is what the early Christians called it.

Oh now I get it. Jesus never never named any church at all. Nor did he ever envision any kind of church. You see, Christianity is the largest branch on the tree with Jewish roots, the religion of Jesus.

 

[Woodznutz]

Who do you imagine you're talking to?

 

[toomuchtime_]

An unhinged antisemite.

While alive Jesus represented God's word, not Judaism. That's why he argued with, and condemned, the Jews. Judaism is Jewish tradition, woven from 'whole cloth'. Jesus cited God's laws, not Jewish tradition. He left "Jewry" and began building his church among the remnants of the "lost" tribes of Israel, to whom he also sent the disciples.

Learn your Bible history, forget the Jewish fables.

 

[Woodznutz]

Jesus stated, "I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." He compared Peter (a stone) to himself who he called this rock as the foundation of his church.

 

[MJB12741]

Learn your Bible history.

The Bible is a theological work first written by Jews & then by Christians. Not an historical one. But carry on. We need the laughs.

Holy writ was revealed to Jewish prophets and recorded by Jewish scribes. They were entrusted with the 'oracles of God'. They didn't compose them, and they have no authority to change them.

The "religion of Jesus" was God's Law, not Judaism. God's law predates Judaism by a thousand years or more. Judaism is a corruption of God's law, not a true religion.

Western civilization is based on Christianity not Judaism.

Judeo-Christianity.


So saith Jesus.
Let's check, and see if you can accept the facts:


"The Gospel of Matthew begins with a recitation of the long lineage of Jesus, to demonstrate that the Nazarene son of Mary descended from both Abraham and King David. This is not coincidence: It is necessary to establish Jesus’s messianic credentials according to the Hebrew Bible.

... it is impossible to extricate Jesus and his mother from Judaism. Indeed, from a Christian perspective, the great tragedy of the life of Jesus is that he came first of all to redeem the Jewish people (“He came to his own, but his own did not receive him,” John 1:11), and through them, all the world."


Actually the Jewish people, and adherence to the Bible were the light unto the nations.

In Matthew, Jesus makes that clear......

Matthew 5:18, the eighteenth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has just reported that he came not to destroy the law, but fulfil it. In this verse this claim is reinforced.

Matthew 5:17–18 is a key text for interpreting the Sermon on the Mount and the entire gospel of Matthew:

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Here Jesus says that not one iota (jot) or dot (tittle) will pass away from the law. These most likely refer to the smallest strokes of the Hebrew alphabet, indicating that the Old Testament is completely trustworthy, even to the smallest detail. This is consistent with Jesus’ attitude elsewhere. Never do we find Jesus disagreeing with Scripture.




There is a single religion based on the Ten Commandments......the Judeo-Christian faith.


What were Jesus' last words?

 

[PoliticalChic]

The "church of God" is what the early Christians called it.

Early Christians still thought of themselves as Jews.

I have been in Israel and seen artifacts of crosses by Jewish congrigations.

Have you been there?

What were Jesus' last words?

On the cross or after his resurrection?
