Thank you for the well appreciated understanding of the Word.
God bless you and your ministry
Hello I have a question on these verses Matthew ,15:26-27 how one thinks Jesus is calling a woman a dog when I do not see this when reading these verses are you able to settle my mind with this as I cannot see where jesus is calling her Dog
Am I wrong in this understanding , As I have not seen any correct this understanding of scripture and just go along with it, and give there own interpretation of it.
Hello, thanks for your question. The passage in Matthew 15 that you asked about is a metaphor or an analogy. Simply put, the 'children' represent the Israelites, and the 'dogs' represent the heathen. May I suggest reading different commentaries on this verse here - biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/15-27.htm
💗May God bless your journey
Very helpful!
This word is the most abused word in the bible. First lets start with the fact that the word gentile is found nowhere in the bible in Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek. The word gentile is a replacement word for nation. The Israelites were to become so called gentiles as it was prophesied. So many have a false understanding of the word, and have no clue it does not mean non Jew or Jew. To a non Jew a Jew is a gentile. It has no revelancy to the Israelites. It is a better word to use than what was realistically used. Other nations would be the politically correct name, but the Israelites probably used harsher words like heathen or savages for unknown nations to ancient Israel. However you did a good job summing it up, and showing how anyone can now join the nation of Israel.
Anybody cant join the real nation of being a true jew, Its a bloodline not a religion. There is no such thing as spiritual Israel! A person can learn another language, cultural standards etc..... but never be biologically those people! A black person can assimilate into the Chinese culture all they want but they would never be a spiritual Chinese person! Ridiculous understandings on here!
@@YAHSWAY144 Hello 🙂Please sincerely consider these questions: Was Abel an Israelite? No, yet he was part of God's family. Were Enoch or Noah Israelites? No, yet the Bible says they walked with God. Or what about Rahab, was she an Israelite by blood? No. yet she was welcomed into the fold. According to the Old and New Testaments Israel is more than simply a people group, rather it's a body of believers- regardless of race or ethnicity.
I will agree with you that the so-called "jews" of today are not true Israel, for true Israel is anyone who is "born-again" or puts their trust in the creator YHWH/Yeshua (Jesus).
It's plain and simple- Salvation is available to the WHOLE world.
Joel 2.32 "And it shall come to pass That *WHOSOEVER* calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved."
John 3.36 "He who *BELIEVES* in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not *BELIEVE* the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
It's so sad to that some people limit the redemption of the Most High to the pigment of their skin- Absolute foolishness! I will pray for your heart to be softened and your mind to be opened. May God bless your journey ❤
We are all made in Gods image. Our bodies are the same. God wants all humans to recognise his love for all.
Amen ❤️ Yes, the Bible says that "God shows no partiality but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right." Acts 10.34-35 🙂

and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Exodus 12:38 the mixed multitude that journeyed with Israel, after hearing the law, ended up separating themselves from Israel in Nehemiah 13:3
What an excellent explanation, sir!
I think what irritates me the most is when Christians define themselves as "Gentile Christians."
This is often used as an excuse to say, "The Law and Torah does not apply to me because it's for the Jews/Israel."
You could have included the promise of the "New Covenant" which is actually applied to one people:
"Behold, the days come, says יהוה, that I shall make a New Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah." (Jer 31:31)
There's no Covenant for the gentiles!
Amen 🙂 Although God offers His mercy, forgiveness, and eternal life to the whole world, not all people will accept it. God bless you ❤
@@purelightministries - And may Yahweh bless you, sir, for standing for truth in such a confusing medium.
Eber came up with the name,"Hebrew." I believe. Christian is a Christ follower.
This is more or less accurate, but I think it's backways around. An inference could be taken that Gentiles are saved by adoption into Judaism (albeit a messianic form of Judaism), but Jews are saved by their DNA This is, to say the least of it, problematic. Jews get the same break from God as everyone else. No backstage passes.
Does this mean that all Christians must obey the entirety of the mosaic law in the Old Testament (i.e. don't eat non-kosher foods, don't mix fabrics, don't destroy your beard, etc)? I'm kind of confused because you quoted Paul who says that gentiles don't need to follow the entirety of the law (like in Galatians 3:22-26) but I'm still unsure about your position. If you are implying that Christians should keep the entire law then would Christians in your eyes who don't not have salvation. I'm Eastern Orthodox btw.
🙂 Hello friend! Thanks for watching and for your questions. I'll do my best to answer them-
According to the new covenant, and by God’s grace, He provides us the power to love and obey Him through the holy spirit. He said, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.” Ezek 36.26-27
Remember friend, the bible says that "Jesus did not come to abolish the law" Matt 5.17-19. Here's how it works- All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments- Love God and Love our neighbor. These two commands break down into what we typically call the ten commandments, which are further categorized into more detailed instructions throughout the Torah. And so, if we want to know exactly how to love according to God, simply read the instruction manual. For the scripture says, “By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God; that we keep His commandments…” 1 John 5
Can we do it perfectly all the time? Absolutely not!
Does that mean we give up? Paul answers this best when he was asked- "Do we then nullify the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law." Romans 3.31
Also, I believe you may be misinterpreting that passage in Galatians and here's why- Paul DID NOT speak against the law, in fact, once Paul became a new creation, He continued to walk out his faith by his actions through obedience to God, for the scriptures confirm this-
Paul said in Acts 24.14 "But I confess this to you, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect, believing all things throughout the Law and that have been written in the Prophets."
And also in Acts 25.7-8 "When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove. Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
HERE'S THE KEY- Paul told us in 1 Corinthians 11 to "be imitators of me, as I am of Christ." According to this, Paul obeyed the Law just as Jesus did and he is telling us to imitate him!! ❤️
May God bless your journey
@@purelightministriesThanks for responding and clarification. So you mean that Paul was saying that the law is not as important as faith in Christ but faith will bring the holy spirit to help us follow the law (Like don’t rely solely on the law. Is that what he was meaning in verses like Galatians 5:6 or 3:10-14). So Christians who don’t follow the law perfectly or in its entirety are not condemned if they don’t (I only say this out of concern for others and of people I know who have passed not myself) but still should out of love for god?
Exactly 🙂 we must make a distinction between SALVATION and SANCTIFICATION. It's by grace though faith in which salvation comes. Then, it is through that faith we desire to walk in the ways of the LORD, not to be saved, but because we are saved. That is the process of sanctification. No one will follow the Law perfectly (that's why we need a savior).
Someone may ask? Is it a sin to get a tattoo, eat raccoon, get drunk, or shave your beard? It depends on who you ask.
To a babe in Christ who is ignorant of these rules, no, to them it is not sinful. BUT once that person knows the rules, to them it is sin upon their conviction. For James writes-
"Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin." James 4:17
We will never be SINLESS, but as followers of Christ our desire should be to SIN LESS. Please watch my teaching on sanctification for more info on this topic- ua-cam.com/video/Zg6kwC8XeTk/v-deo.html
I'm happy you reached out and I pray God blesses your life ❤️
@@purelightministriesThank you. I appreciate the help. God bless you as well.
We’re Joseph’s sons Egyptian or Hebrew?
What of the 70 Nations of Babel?
What of the 70 souls that Jacob took into Egypt?
What of the non Hebrew that Judah went unto that was his daughter in law and conceived with Tamar producing twins Pharez and Zarah, Pharez being in the genealogy of the Messiah?
There is such a wonderful mixer of nationalities before we even get to the mixed multitude leaving Egypt and ALL partook of the Passover, Covenant, and circumcision.
One would believe that our God who states in His Holy Word that He is no respecter of persons, is making something very clear to All who would believe.😊😊😊😊😊
Amen! Thanks for the extra insight- I talk more about these things in my new series - AMERICAN CHURCH ua-cam.com/video/OXJ8mpil9IY/v-deo.html
They take after the father's lineage, even though his mother was an Egyptian. So Jacob's two sons, Ephraim and Manaseh are Hebrews. They were blessed by Jacob(Israel) there grandfather before Israel died. So their descendants are Isrealites.
I like your teaching! How about Israel? Is it a land or a name of certain people?
Thank you! The Bible describes Israel in many different ways; as a person, a place, a people, a harlot, a bride, the daughter of Zion, and other names as well. We discuss this briefly in this video ua-cam.com/video/sBNV6zvBHu0/v-deo.html
There was no land named Isreal in the Bible, only a certain people.
We pray these verses aid your studying of the Bible.
Israel is described as a land/place:
Ezekiel 11:17 "Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel."
Acts 1:6 "When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?"
Greetings in Jesus the Messiah -
This is more of a question than a statement
While I believe that as an ADOPTED, ingrafted son into the fig tree I will never be Hebrew either in birth or faith, but just as a Jewish believer is referenced as a "Messianic Jew", wouldn't I be referenced as a "Messianic Gentile" as both were not in Christ but have come to HIM in belief?
Have a blessed day
Thanks for watching! Simply put, the word Gentile means Heathen. And by definition, a Heathen cannot be a child of God. The term messianic heathen is an oxymoron. The important thing is that no matter what you refer to yourself as, if you've been born again then you are part of God's family 😀
May God bless you!
Messiah has to be from the line of David. Jesus is not the Messiah because he is not Joseph's biological son! So, there is no connection between him and Joseph! 😉
Thanks for watching. Thanks be to God that Joseph was indeed not the biological father of Jesus! Because if He was, Jesus would not be the Messiah. HOWEVER, in order that the prophecy of Isaiah may be fulfilled, Jesus was born of a Virgin, and therefore IS the Messiah (Isaiah 7.14). In addition, Joseph was descended from David and married Mary, this constituted his legal adoption of Jesus. Matthew’s genealogy reflects this legal understanding: “Joseph, the husband of Mary...the mother of Jesus.” (Matthew 1:16). Also, The Jews considered Jesus to be Joseph’s actual son. The people of Nazareth asked regarding Jesus, “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son?" (Matthew 13.55).
💗Friend, did you know that a greater adoption is available to you? God Loves you and wants you to be a part of His Family. I pray this happens to you.
May God bless you!!
We all have a Hebrew father...
Japheth, Shem and Ham. All sons of Noah who was a Hebrew.
Amen!! Thanks for watching 🙂
Funny how Japheth lived close to Shem.
I wonder why God did not send His son after the Babel incident. Instead, God made Himself exclusively the God of Israel, while the nations went their own way. Christians really need to be able to answer this question: Why and how did the God of Israel become the God of the nations? It’s not enough to say that it just happened because God wanted it to. God could have saved the nations without Israel.
Hello friend🙂 I will do my best to answer your question. I think the easiest way to understand "Why and how the God of Israel become the God of the nations", is to first understand that Israel is more than simply a people group, rather it's a body of believers, regardless of race or ethnicity. In other words, Israel is anyone who is "born-again" or puts their trust in the creator YHWH/Yeshua (Jesus).
Think about this- Abel was not "Israel" yet he was called righteous. Enoch and Noah were not "Israel" yet the Bible says they walked with God. Abraham, the father of the Israelites, was originally called out of a pagan nation.
In plainer terms, there are only two paths in life, either we are with God or without. And so, "there is neither Jew nor Gentile- If we belong to Christ then we are heirs according to the promise" Galatians 3.28-29.
I hope that answers your question. May God bless your journey ❤️
Do Jews and Christians worship the same God?
Although some do and some don’t, there will come a day when “every knee will bow before Him and every tongue will confess His Name.”

New Covenant Whole Gospel:
Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary?
What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below.
Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him.
He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8, 3:16? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis?
Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart.
Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36)
We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24.
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

You do know Hagar had Abraham's 1st son isamel. Why don't you say Abraham isamel, Isaac. Didn't Abraham try to sacrifice Isaac to god? Talk about childhood trauma. Are you sure theses people don't need healing? Why dont yall ever talk about Ismael? Not build on a good foundation 😢😢😢
Hello 🙂 I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Of course Ishmael was a son of Abraham. Ishmael is an important part of our history. The Bible says - God spoke unto Hagar and said, “And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.” Genesis 17.20
However, it just so happened that Isaac was of the lineage in which the Messiah came.
God bless your journey, my friend ❤️
Where is the word "goy" in the bible?
Thanks for watching and for your question! The Hebrew word 'goy' is used multiple times throughout the scriptures. For further information see Lexicon Strong's H1471 - (gôy גּוֹי)
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is NEITHER JEW nor GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27-28 KJV
Amen Brother!! Thanks for watching.
Jews = House of Judah
Greeks = the Hellenized dispersion of the Divorced Northern House of Israel
Nazarenes are jewish believers in Jesus/Yeshua. Acts 24:5 and Matthew 2:23. And the church fathers speak of the nazarenes. and nazarenes were different from the christians.
🙂Thanks for watching and for the insights! Amen, the Nazarenes as well as some of the Essenes shared the same faith as many Christians today!
▶️Check out my teaching on the Essenes here- ua-cam.com/video/P2twyIkA1uw/v-deo.html
God bless your journey.
Yes I consider myself as a Nazarene as a jewish believer. I have the same faith as the christians but my practices are different as I am jewish. And we use the "Apocrypha" or shall I say the septuagint t with all the books and a Literal NT and also 1enoch and jubilees in our ministry/synagogue.@@purelightministries
Amen, that's great!
Sadly, many Christians have never read or even heard of those ancient texts. I made several videos about those extra-biblical books, check them out if you can. God bless!
I will do. The Nazarene jews are indeed still around,I am one of them. shalom. @@purelightministries
Will the Israelites and the Gentiles be together in the kingdom of heaven?
Thank you for your question! To properly answer your question, we’ll need to define the words Israelites and Gentiles.
Israelites= Born again/holy spirit-filled child of God. Gentiles= Lost, unsaved, unrepentant sinners, void of Christ.
It is impossible for anyone to enter the Kingdom of Heaven apart from Christ. But thanks be to God He has made a way for the Gentiles to become part of Israel; no longer being considered Gentiles.👇
God’s word tells us that “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Matthew 7.21
“For WHOSOEVER shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” Matthew 12.50
“All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left… Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels…' And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” Matthew 25.32-46
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Cor 12.13
May God richly bless you and your journey!
The bible was written by Israelites for Israelites, everyone else is trying to cherry pick a way in. 😅
Hello🙂 It’s wonderful that race, ethnicity, or nationality have no bearing on our salvation!
Amazingly, the gift of salvation is available to the entire world. The messiah affirmed this when he said; “For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life…” “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3.16, 36
“For ALL of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3.27-29

May God continue to bless you! ❤️
@@purelightministries For MY sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, behold, it descends for judgement upon Edom, upon the people I have DOOMED. ( ISAIAH 34:5 ) If salvation is for the entire world, why do ISAIAH mentions a nation of people that are doomed ???
Good question🙂 You asked, "if salvation is for the entire world, why do ISAIAH mentions a nation of people that are doomed ???"
The answer is simple - Any nation (or person) that is not part of God's family (born-again) is certainly doomed. It's a sad situation, but the scriptures are clear:
Ezekiel 33.11
"As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked should turn from their ways and live..."
AND
2 Peter 3.9 "the Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
My friend, everyone (all people) have the opportunity to be saved. Sadly, many of them will not make that choice.
God bless your studying.
You BHI are delusional. What about acts 10? Ever heard of Cornelius? What about Galatians 3:28? The Centurion with a sick servant? And theres NO evidence AA are Hebrews, the lot of you are delusional Pharisees.@@keithharrison9797
Written for the very people who embraced the Messiah, the people that Paul went to teach. The Greeks and everyone like them
I have a question for you. According to many people. Specially the verse that mention that god gave his only begotten son claims because he so loved the “world” according to them people mistranslated the word “kosmos” to world and Jesus never really died for other nations but rather other nations in which Jews lived in. And there was never a “new” covenant. Because according to the Old Testament. God made a covenant with Israel, and god never changes therefore he didn’t change anything, and Jesus only died for Jews only and never for us non Jews.
Hello 🙂I am familiar with some of the things you mentioned, but I'm not sure what you're question is. What would you like to know? I'll do my best to help👍
@@purelightministries thank for your reply. What I meant is that did Jesus really only died for Jews and not us non Jews. Sorry I went isn’t some detail on why I think this. Because according to many the verse In john where Jesus died for the world and god gave his only begotten son only applied to Jews. My question is that idea true ? Does God only care about Jews only and Jesus never really died for us. I even heard this one person say that the Bible is for Jews only and we non Jews were never in that story.
Thanks for the details. Simply put, every person who ends up in heaven is part of God's family. The Bible also tells us that while we're on earth, every person, regardless of race, ethnicity, or skin color has an opportunity to become part of God's family. This is the way it has been from the beginning of time. Please read about Abel, Enoch, Noah, and Abraham. All these men were NOT "jews", yet the Bible tells us they were part of God's family. Also, here are some more verses below to help you-
Old Testament-
ISAIAH 55.7 "Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon."
ISAIAH 56.3 "Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, 'The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.'"
We are all one blood. And through one man's blood- Jesus, Heaven is available to all people.
New Testament-
ACTS 10.34-35 “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him."
2 PETER 3.9 "The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting ANYONE to perish but EVERYONE to come to repentance."
There are many many other passages in the bible that testify to this truth- read and you will find the answers 🙂
@@purelightministries thank you my brother your really helped.
Wait up… seeing as Christ aka Yeshua is the messiah that died for our sins, and that Christians who follow Christ are Israelites… because they accept the one true god…
Then what does that make Jews who rejected the messiah? This means they rejected god no?
I’ve seen many videos with ultra Orthodox Jews who spit on the cross and believers of christ and boast that they helped kill him…
If christ is now accepted by Judaism (something I highly doubt) then why are they not followers of christ? Who was god (according to scriptures) who performed miracles (according to Jewish accounts) and also features in a passage of the Torah that has since been removed from the book?
I’m super confused now 😅😅😅😅
🙂 Hello friend, how can I help you? What are you confused about? I'll try to answer your questions in a simple way. ❤️
@@purelightministries
Hmmmm how can I make this simple… 🤔
If Jews are the chosen people… 🤔 and Israel is promised to them…
Then;
If they rejected the messiah (yeshua/Yahweh) then how can they still be the chosen people?
Does the coming of Christ and their rejection of him put both religions at odds? I know Christians don’t hate on the Jews, because their religion led to ours, but Ive seen Jews reject Christianity completely, sometimes angrily…
Surely one of the two religions is wrong no? But you speak about Christ as if he is the accepted messiah… so I’m confused about this I guess?
Also I’ve been deep diving into the Abrahamic religions.. and came across a video that also… put a stick in my wheels so to speak… would be willing to share with you, to get your input, as I’m a novice in the scriptures …
Alright, thanks for clarifying 🙂 The first important thing to understand is that there are only two paths in life; either we are with God or without. The best part about salvation is that it is available to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or nationality. God doesn't see labels such as "Jews" or "Christians" He judges the heart. And so, every person has the opportunity to be part of God's Holy family 🥰
It doesn't matter if a person comes from a Muslim background, a Hindu background, or a Pagan background- If they confess with their mouth that Jesus (Yeshua) is Lord, and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the Dead, they will be saved. At that very moment the person gets adopted into God's Family and becomes part of Israel.
Spiritual Israel is not the same as the "jews" of today. The true Chosen people are the ones who accept Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah- they are true Israel.
To answer your other question, "If christ is now accepted by Judaism (something I highly doubt) then why are they not followers of christ?"
Sadly, because of false teaching like 'replacement theology' and 'lawlessness', mainstream Christianity of today has replaced the true messiah with a lawless counterfeit. So, it's no surprise the Jews don't accept Jesus, because that "jesus" is not the Jesus of the Bible.
Please watch my full teaching to learn more, it will lay a solid foundation to your journey - ua-cam.com/video/iTMHtpsLmvE/v-deo.html
Also, I recommend reading the Bible in chronological order. This will help develop the over-arching narrative and story of what it means to be a follower of the One True God.
Lastly, please see this teaching to help better understand the difference between The Real and Fake Jesus- ua-cam.com/video/3rKU6PzI6nA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Please feel free to ask any other questions after watching the teachings. Thanks and God bless your journey. ❤️
@@purelightministries thanks for not ducking any of my points… interesting narrative too, I didn’t realise Israelites where followers of Christ…
I will take a look at the videos and teachings when I have some free time… appreciate the time you took to answer…
Have you heard of the passage of Esiaha 53? I heard it is a passage cut from modern day Torah, but clearly talks about the coming messiah and how he will be treated… there is a video I saw some weeks ago, it was this video that led me down the current path! I will send it to you if and when I find it, because I have no authority or real knowledge on the scriptures…
Thank you again for your feedback and answers! It has cleared up the « situation » for me..
all the best brother/sister take care and stay safe!
You're welcome!! Yes, Isaiah 53 speaks of the messianic prophecy, of which most Jews tend to ignore or twist. I'll wait to hear back from you about your journey, God bless!!
The word Christian is not in the Bible, and I don't think there's an etymological meaning to it beside it being a description of worshipers of Christ I accept your explanation of the word Hebrew for people who fear the Lord. I think Chrsitians should be correctly called Hebrews. But now Jesus was of the tribe of Judah, doesn't that also make him a Jew, according to his earthly nature?
Greetings friend! Thanks for watching🙂 The word Christian appears in the Bible 3 times- Strongs #5546 Χριστιανός can be found in Act 11.26, Act 26.28, 1Pe 4.16. Yes, Jesus was Jewish in an earthly sense based on the time and place in which He lived. Make sure to subscribe to our channel, will be publishing an upcoming series about the origin of the Church- very interesting stuff!
May God bless your journey!
HOW WRONG YOU ARE!!!!!!!!
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Peter 4:16 KJV
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Acts 26:28 KJV
and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 11:26 KJV
Gentile simply means unbeliever. Once you become a believer in the ONE true YHWH as God ALONE and you repent and are begotten of YHWH's incorruptible seed, then you become part of israel. The israel of God is a chosen prople of every nation tongue and tribe of the whole world.
Amen!! 🙂Well said, thanks for watching ❤️
And who believes Jesus Christ God is a bleiever too
Who are the Israel of God?
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
{Galatians 3:28-29}
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
But he is a Jew, *which is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit* and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
{Romans 2:28-29}
Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the COMMONWEALTH of ISRAEL, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
BUT now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh *by the blood of Christ*
For he is our peace, who hath made both [Jew and Gentile] one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments [not the ten commandments] contained in ordinances; for to make in himself *of twain* ONE NEW MAN, so making peace;
And that he might reconcile BOTH unto God in ONE BODY by the cross, *having slain the enmity thereby*
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but *fellowcitizens* with the saints, and of the household of God;
[The commnwealth of Israel ... Jeshurun]
{Ephesians 2:11-19}
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
But *in every nation* he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
{Acts 10:34-35}
Again...
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
For there is no respect of persons with God.
{Romans 2:10-11}
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For *they are not all Israel* which are of Israel:
*Neither because they are the seed of Abraham* are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but *the children of the promise* are counted for the seed.
{Romans 9:6-8}
Now we, [Galatians] brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
{Galatians 4:28-29}
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and
upon *the Israel of God*
{Galatians 6:15-16}
And they [the Jew] also, *if they abide not still in unbelief* shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in *again*
{Romans 11:23}
For ye are all the children of God *by faith in Christ Jesus*
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
{Galatians 3:26-27}
Amen! Thanks for sharing ❤
We know that "Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves those born of Him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, 4because everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith. 5Who then overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God..." 1 John 5:1-5
😀 We are one people with one King!!
Ezekiel 37:26 "And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever. 27My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be My people. 28Then the nations will know that I the LORD sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is among them forever.’ ”…
God bless you ❤
the adoption of Grace pertains to the flesh and not any particular nation. even Israel is adopted. you will see that in Romans 9:1-4.
Thank you for your comment! We absolutely agree with you! Such great news indeed!
We are reminded that all of humanity is descended from one source and one blood line, Adam and Eve. I’m glad that we can look back at our ancestors and realize that we all came from that one source. And, just like the generations that preceded Noah (who were neither called Israelite or Gentile) were saved by grace through faith; anyone who comes after has that same salvation available to them! Amen!
It’s wonderful that race, ethnicity, or nationality have no bearing on our salvation!
It’s so amazingly joyful that the gift of salvation is available to the entire world. The messiah affirmed this when he said; “For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son, that WHOEVER believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life…” “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3.16, 36
“For ALL of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3.27-29
