Hi Nick.GOD HAS A GOAL*by Adolph E. KnochGOD HAS A GOAL. He intends to become All in all His creatures (1 Cor.15:28). He will accomplish this by way of reconciling all His enemies by the blood of Christ's cross, by justifying, vivifying, and saving all mankind at the consummation (Col.1:20; Rom.5:18; 1 Cor.15:22; 1 Tim 2:4; 4:10). But before this…[Read more]

Hi again, Just to point out in Acts 13:46 above, God did not turn to the nations (Gentiles), until after the death and resurection of Christ Jesus, when the Jews rejected Him again.

Hi 942767. I find your explanation of who the scriptures are written too, a bit confusing. When Jesus healed the daughter of the Canaan woman, He plainly told her that He was commisioned only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Also when speaking to the Samaritian woman, He said (Jn.4:22)-Your quote- Ye worship ye know not what: we…[Read more]

Hi 942767. Again, these scriptures are to the “Jews”. The proof of this is shown in Jn.3:4 when it says …”for sin is the transgression of the law.”The “LAW”, was given to Israel (Jews) still under the Old Covenant. We are not under the law, we are under “Grace”. So why do you try to follow teachings meant for them, but not us? We are to…[Read more]

Hi 942767. So in Matt.15:24, Jesus said, “I was not commisioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel”, you say this is not so? So Jesus' statement is to be ignored because this is not true? Also in Ro.15:8, For I (paul) am saying that Christ has become the servant of the circumcision (Jews), for the sake of the truth of God,…[Read more]

Hi Nick. Death is death, first, second, third, fourth… If you are saved from death, does it matter how many?Blessings.

Quote (chosenone @ May 11 2007,05:52)Hi Nick.         Perhaps the following will explain this to you.21 The incident of the Canaanitish woman is of surpassing interest to us, for it shows clearly what was the status of the nations in our Lord's ministry. Her very mistakes are instructive. The nations have no part in the Son of David. He is Isr…[Read more]

Hi 942767. Thanks for the reply. Before I give my opinion, I would like to say that quoting scripture from the four gospels as meaning for us Gentiles, is a misunderstanding of scripture, Jesus's message was to the Jews, still under the 'Old Covenant' and the 'law'. “I (Jesus), was not commisioned except for the lost sheep of the house of…[Read more]

Hi WJ. Have you checked with the Interlinear Scripture Analyser, it gives the original Greek scripture and letters, translated to English. See “scripture4all.org” I believe this to be very accurately translated, the authorized version is written to compare.Blessings.

Hi Tim. I agree with you, “Whatever God wills, He will accomplish”. Isiah.46:8-11 “ALL my desire, I will do.”Blessings.

Hi Nick, Not until after the death and resurection of Christ. Jesus' teaching, while alive, was to the “Lost sheep of the house of Israel”.

Really!

THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAELJESUS WAS COMMISSIONED to the house of Israel. He was commissioned to them, and He was not commissioned to anyone else. Jesus was commissioned to one people only, and they were a people who were lost (Matt.15:24). Furthermore, most shocking of all, this one, lost people to whom Jesus was commissioned to seek and to…[Read more]

Hi Nick. Perhaps the following will explain this to you.21 The incident of the Canaanitish woman is of surpassing interest to us, for it shows clearly what was the status of the nations in our Lord's ministry. Her very mistakes are instructive. The nations have no part in the Son of David. He is Israel's King. No matter how much she may…[Read more]

Death.

Hi Nick, of course I agree it is for all to read. I have continuously said, “All scripture is FOR us, but not all scripture is ABOUT us. We can't change the fact that Jesus's ministry was to the Jews. (Math.15:24) “I was not commisioned except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”The Jews were under the “Old Covenant”, still under the…[Read more]
