Blood sacrifices, son? What for?

And is that not the reason Gods die?

Lol..yea kind off, when people forget the rituals involved, the gods die.
But they are there, waiting to be reconnected.

It wasn't Paul's idea. He got it by revelation. He was once the chief persecutor of those who believe in Jesus until he had an encounter with him. He said in one of his letter;

Galatians 2:2 And I went up by REVELATION, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain

Why do you believe Paul's personal Revelation

But not Muhammed personal Revelations?

Do you see the disadvantage?

Apostle had a clear encounter with Jesus. And God backed up his calling with signs and wonders.

Mohammed on the other hand claimed he saw a vision of an angel who gave him a message. But the things he did and the life he lived does not affirm he was truly called of God.

He spread his religion through violence. The God we serve does not force anyone.

He did not have notable signs and miracles which follows servants of God.

He married so many wives. The internet search reveals he married 16 wives and had about 4 concubines. He even married a minor. A true servant of God will not do that.

Besides, his own statement betrayed his calling. In Sura 46:9, he said he wasn't sure of what will become of him or those following him.

This is when the real messiah comes at hand:

Isaiah 1:26: "And I will restore your judges as at first and your counsellors as in the beginning; afterwards you shall be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City." Some Jews[12] interpret this to mean that theSanhedrin will be re-established." (Isaiah 1:26)

Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)

The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:11–17)

He will be descended from King David(Isaiah 11:1) via Solomon (1 Chronicles 22:8–10, 2 Chronicles 7:18)

The "spirit of the Lord" will be upon him, and he will have a "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)

Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)

Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)

He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)

All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)

Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:

There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:

All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)

The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)

He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)

Nations will recognize the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13–53:5)

The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)

The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)

Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)

The people of Israel will have direct access to the Torah through their minds and Torah study will become the study of the wisdom of the heart (Jeremiah 31:33)[13]

He will give you all the worthy desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)

He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13–15, Ezekiel 36:29–30, Isaiah 11:6–9

How can you call the lost sheep of Israel the sinners of the world?
Lost sheep of Israel refers strictly to the Israelites.But after they rejected his message, he sent his disciples to the rest of the world.

Jesus Christ's mission is to the lost sheep of Israel, Israel's children who were scattered, by God, to all the ends of the earth - to every tribe, every tongue, and every nation out there.

19 I will put a mark on some of the people. I will send some of these saved people to the nations of Tarshish, Libya, Lud (the land of archers), Tubal, Greece, and all the faraway lands. Those people have never heard my teachings. They have never seen my Glory. So the saved people will tell the nations about my glory.
20 And they will bring all your brothers and sisters from those other nations to my holy mountain[g] Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. Your brothers and sisters will ride on horses, mules, camels, and in chariots and wagons. They will be like the gifts that the Israelites bring on clean plates to the Temple of the Lord.
21 I will also choose some of these people to be priests and Levites.” The Lord himself said this. - Isaiah 66 vs 19 - 20

The lost sheep of Israel are gentiles too who have the blood of Jacob in them. And they are to be found in every nation. That is what God said make clear even right in His Law of Moses. He would scatter them, and He would, later on, gather them back when the time is right. So, yes, they are those recognized by God as the sinners of this world.

So, as Jesus Christ made clear through His teachings and the fact that He called His followers to be fishers of men implying that He did not come for everyone, He is indeed sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, and the man standing right next to you right this minute could be one of them.

You're right. After the death of Christ, the lost sheep of Israel includes both Israelites and Gentiles. But during His ministry and the context of the verse, Jesus was only referring to the actual Israelites and not Gentiles.
He only ministered to and healed Gentiles whose faith were too great, he could not resist.

Which is corroborated by the observation that through out his ministry on earth, he never preached outside Israel (geographically).

In fact Peter and the other disciples were following the template of Jesus and never even wanted the Gentiles to receive the Holy Spirit until God had to show Peter in a trance not to call unclean what he calls clean and Cornelius and his household received the Holyspirit.

Peter's wasn't so comfortable with this, which was also why the Holyspirit selected Paul and Barnabas specially for that purpose, to be sent to the Gentiles.
This is why Paul often refers to himself as the Apostle to the Gentiles (Uncircumcised)
And after that other disciples followed suit including Philip.

I'm trying to understand why you said I'm wrong, when you simply paraphrased what I said.

1. God's plan since Adam's fall and Abraham's Promise has always been to redeem and bless the whole world through Israel.

2. Jesus Himself said this but occasionally healed few Gentiles according to their great faith.

3. The book of Acts categorically teaches that the Holyspirit separated Paul and Barnabas to be sent to the Gentiles.

4. Paul refers to himself as Apostle to the circumcised and Peter as Apostle to the Uncircumcised.

5. God's plan has always been to Israel first then to the Gentiles. Which also Isaiah prophesied that the israelites will reject Jesus, thereby provoking God into jealousy to extent his salvation to the Gentiles to likewise provoke the Jews into jealousy.
Paul prayer being that the israelites will by this provocation come into salvation.

1. I am afraid you still have it all wrong! What Jesus Christ said is that the Father sent Him to offer the agreement of peace only to those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins meaning that if you ancestry if not of Israel, you cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus Christ came to do the Will of the Father who sent Him and the context of God's Will does not change for any man or people. Jesus Christ may have healed gentiles(none Israelites), but He did not extend the Kingdom of God to them throughout His time on earth because it is against the Will of God to give to the dogs that which is Holy - Matthew 7 vs 6. And this Will did not change even after Jesus Christ sent His disciples into the world..

2. Yes, He did not preach outside of the borders of Judea but He also did not teach the Gentiles who were within those borders either because Salvation was sent by God only to the Israelites -- the dogs(none Israelite Gentiles) are not part of God's plan.

3. That's not entirely correct. What Peter, I believe, may have been doing at the time was, sticking to preaching only to the Jewish subset of Israel -- those from the tribe of Judah, Benjamin and part of the Levite Clan. And for this reason, the Spirit revealed to Him that those from all tribes, even those whose roots were long lost after so long in exile were also a part of God's plan.

As for Cornelius and the members of His family who became born-again, they had to have had the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins in order for that to have taken place. Else, Jesus Christ was nothing but a liar and the Kingdom of God a sham.

4. I disagree with this since the same mandate was given by Jesus Christ to all of His followers which is to go and teach His Gospel to the world(Israel in exile). That Peter had problems grasping the stated does not mean Paul and Barnabas were specifically called or anything like that. After all we read in the same books of Acts that of Philip, one of the disciples who walked with Jesus Christ, matching directly to the Gentiles from the beginning to spread the news to those in the Gentile world.

I gave a comprehensive reply to this last night, but it didn't drop.
In summary, we're saying the same thing, you just don't get it.

God's plan since the fall of Adam and Blessing of Abraham has been to redeem and bless the whole world, starting with Israel first. Acts 2:39

But before the death of Christ, he was only sent to the physical Israel.
When they rejected him as prophesied by Isaiah, God sent his disciples to the Gentiles to provoke them into jealousy. Which by so doing Paul prays that his fellow Israelites would finally come to accept Christ.

Pas: We are the Gentiles. But in Christ, there's no Jew or Gentile. We are all the same in Christ.

1. Jesus Christ was born in Judae -- no such as physical israel. God had already cursed and scattered Israel across the Nations at that time.

2. This is false! God didn't send the disciples to the gentiles to provoke the Jews. He instead sent them into the Gentile world to begin gathering the rest of the lost sheep of Israel to Himself. That is what God said would happen in both the Law of Moses and also through the prophet Isaiah among others.

As for Paul's supposed prayer, I don't know about that given God already said, from the time of Moses, that He would gather His Israel back to Himself So such a prayer is meaningless.

3. In Jesus Christ, there are only Israelites - those who have the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins. That is what Jesus Christ explained to His followers when He said that He was sent only to the Lost sheep of Israel. So, if you are of the ancestry of Jacob, you cannot be of Jesus Christ is what Jesus Christ Himself said. !

I understand from your interactions on NL that you only regaled the Synoptics as gospel.
But I also know that until you accept the whole bible as the Word of God, you will not grasp the true intent of God.
Paul's epistles were written for the Gentiles, except the book of Hebrews which was written for both the Jews and matured Gentiles.

When you truly let the Holyspirt guide your study of the Bible, the Word truly becomes flesh to you.

Be careful how you disparage and dishonor your Apostle Paul, because truly, he is the Apostle (Sent) to the Gentiles (us).

1. I have no clue what you mean by that at all. I process everything written in scripture weighing it all against the very Word out of God's mouth to determine Truth from lies.

2. So, what you are saying is that since Jesus Christ said He is sent by God, the Father, only to the lost sheep of Israel meaning the Kingdom of God is only open to the lost sheep of israel, Paul has another Kingdom, of his own, which he offers to the non-isrealites then?

3. According to Jesus Christ, the Holyspirit who happens to be the very same Spirit of Truth that lives on the inside of Him is subject to Him, Jesus Christ- John 14 vs 15 - 27 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 15 . As a result, the Spirit of Truth will never contradict or contravention Jesus Christ as He will only teach that taught by Jesus Christ and give revelation which pertains to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God to those in whom He dwells in. So, when you say the Holyspirit will guide my study, are you somehow insinuating He will reveal me that which violates the Truth of God as declared by Jesus Christ Himself?

4. I don't worship any man regardless of his rank or title. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and my work is to believe in the one who the Father sent, and that is Jesus Christ. Any idea that contradicts His Truth is simply not of Him.

And as Jesus Christ made clear, He was sent by the Father only to the lost sheep of Israel. The implication of this is that even from among the Gentiles, only those of them whose ancestry traces back to Israel — the blood of Jacob is in their veins — can partake of God's mercy to mankind in Jesus Christ.

Below excerpt from a post on another thread should more than help you since you seem to think this is about me or something.

Cornelius was an Israelite:

The 'Ethiopian' Eunuch was an Israelite: I have not done a thread on it. But remember this:
Acts 8:27
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

He came to worship because the Law demands the men of Israel must present themselves to the Lord three times a year at appointed feasts. He also had scrolls of the prophets. Absolutely no way the Jews would let the heathen worship with them in the Temple.
By the way, in order to partake in the feast of passover, according to the law, one must be circumcised according to the Law. How could this so-called Ethiopian partake if he is uncircumcised.

Regarding the other things you mention, I believe the precepts in my thread are more than sufficient.
Shalom

The Spirit of Truth is a guide and helper to direct each follower of Jesus Christ to others who are of the same flock. So the Spirit of Truth would never lead a follower of Jesus Christ to fellowship in the manner those men did with anyone who isn't of the lost sheep of Israel, to begin with. He can send a follower to heal a Gentile or cast out demons but not to fellowship as Peter and Phillip were recorded to have, in my opinion.

All I'll say is this- don't be full. Be open and keep learning of God.
God is multifaceted and his ways are higher than we could ever fathom.

I'm not someone who should be talking about God anymore cos I was angry with him for some time.
But when more understanding came, I realised he's God afterall and I'm just flesh.

Read the book of Job whenever you can, it's very humbling.

1. All I'll say is this- don't be full. Be open and keep learning of God. God is multifaceted and his ways are higher than we could ever fathom.

2. I'm not someone who should be talking about God anymore cos I was angry with him for some time. But when more understanding came, I realised he's God afterall and I'm just flesh.

3. Read the book of Job whenever you can, it's very humbling.

1. What do you mean when you say God is multifaceted? Is this another one of those 6-blind-men-and-an-elephant situations where we conclude that people perceive and worship different aspects of the same God and somehow God is OK with all of that?

2. Angry with God? I laugh! I used to think like that until I realized how foolish I was in my assumptions of these things. Why should you be angry with God when you have never ever done that which He asked you to do from even your beginning? What makes you think He owes you anything?

3. Oh, I read the book of Job— several times too— until I realized my foolishness. Job was at least a man who did as God commanded of Him — God deemed Him righteous after all. I, on the other hand, had nothing but my self-righteousness— my ideas of goodness drowned in a thick batter of sin a result of self-prescribed ideas of holiness, a worthless lump— to present in my case before God. The best thing I ever did was to submit to Him in the end in order to learn His Truth from all the lies I had learned from men.

Don't bother about JESUS as long as you believe in CHRIST that will be sent to make the earth a better place i'm OK with your submission!
