Murder_X: I have lived in both places and will tell you confidently that the US is by far more racist. Even the Black Americans are racist to Africans. It is horrible there. The UK is more tolerant to Africans. I would rather not recount my nasty racist experiences in the US even though I stayed there less than half as long as I stayed in the UK. I really could not believe it, I always thought they will be more tolerant since it is supposed to be a free land - I was so so wrong. You can see hatred in their eyes, don't even ask for directions. Anybody that has lived in both will not even think of an answer to the question.

--------------

My friend you are so correct as I am one of African descent and knows that my people over here have been brainwashed, by the Europeans and they actually have come to believe that they are what they are called Afro-American. You are so correct in saying that it is a shame as most will not even accept the fact that their heritage is African.

Over here they act just like their masters and don't realize that they will never be accepted. Also over here they do not know anything about our ancestral history except for the fake parts that they show and put in history books. It is all about the Europeans in everything that they see are do.
-----------
Also the only thing free over here is for those of European descent. This is not a land of the free for anybody of African descent, and neither is it in Great Britain. The only way to be free is to free Nigerian completely from any of the Europeans and their sympathazers from participating in you government. Just like over here they have a few of our people in political office but they are the ones that make the decisions and pass the Laws that discriminate agains us as a people.
---------------------

They the Europeans are so mad over here but can't admit it as we have one of African descent as the President, that they have tried everything they can to discredit him and make him the worst President of the United States. All because he broke the chain of the Europeans controlling the United States. That two party system here is just something to fool the people just as your two party rule over there.

ifeness:

Funny enough i live around Tilbury and Basildon and i have never witnessed any racist attack. I doubt you are being honest.

It's the same here it just depends on which part of the country that you are in.

Down here in the South they are openly against those of us who are of African descent especially in the little small cities where it won't be brought to the publics attention.
-----------------

Some of you may notice that I use the term either African or of African descent. The reason is there is no such word as race, it is a word made up by the Europeans to separate us from them, so that they can try to make us think that they are superior to us.

But here is what none of my people know. All living human beings are the descendants of Noah's three sons. So how can there be anything such as race when we all come from the same bloodline?

Afam4eva:
This is obviously a fat lie. How can a country that have lived with people of different racial composition be more racist that the ones that just started being cosmopolitan not too long ago? Btw, how are you sure you were refused service at the bar due to the color of your skin?

This is true as I live here in the United States and Florida is one of the most prejudiced states there is here against those of us that are of African descent. The contitution of the United States was written only for those of European descent that stole the land from the Native American Indians, just as Britih have stolen the land from my relatives in Africa by passing their laws. For one is the real estate company selling land that never belonged to the Europeans in the beginning.

When this was written my ancestors were slaves, the Native American Indians were considered as being pagans and the Orientals had not started to migrate over here.


U.S. Constitution › Preamble
Preamble

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

----------------
Over there you'll most likely have something like this written, but no one actually ever took the time to read and understand it.

==========

By the way earlier I mentioned the Roman Empire all it is is the Churches, whether Roman Catholic or the Church of England (British and American). They are all Catholic and the founder of the Roman Catholic Church was the Roman Emperor back during the time in age when Jesus Christ was excuted on the stake like a criminal by the Romans. It began after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in around 70 A.D.

They are both the same as they are the Roman Empire. The Americans are the worst as they are the current part of the Roman Empire in power today in age.. Once upon a time the British were in control, by that I mean that most of my brothers and sisters from Africa ancestors were conquered by the British and today the Americans are doing the conquering and saying that it is in the name of democracy.

Either way we of African descent are both the British and Americans slaves as they control everything that we do. That is why we all live in poverty and argue amongst ourselves.

Most of us of African descent do not know our ancestral history, especially here in the U.S. As I am living in America my people who are descendants of the Africans that were stolen from our homeland and brought here as the slaves of Europeans are in all essence considered animals, but lower then their pets. They would rather feed and clothe their pets instead of giving us the opportunity to get decent jobs.

Most likely it is the same over there. They have a system here in America where all our young people that get convicted of a felony crime can never get a decent job and take care of their families as they should. The reason that they can't get jobs is nobody will hire anybody with a felony on their record, and the only way to clear ones record is to have it expunged, which no Governor in the United States will do for any person of African descent. Over here the South is the worst part asthey are the followers of the Old King James Bible British subjects and also the part were Slavery was a way of life and still is but my people over here can't see it.

Most likely there are laws like this in Nigeria and the other nation, but no one is aware of them.

============
Think about this which language do you speak?

The law of Moses is no more for the followers of Jesus but is still in effect for those Jews who did not believe that Jesus is the son of God.

Jerusalem was destriyed around 70 B.C., which means that all of the Old Testament sripture was fulfilled as the New Testament had not beeen written yet.
-----------------------

Luk 21:20-24 "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then understand that its devastation is approaching. Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it, because these are the days of vengeance when all that is written will be fulfilled. "How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! Because there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be carried off as captives among all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled."
------------------

Mat 16:13-20 When Jesus had come to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God!" Then Jesus told him, "How blessed you are, Simon son of Jonah, since flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, though my Father in heaven has. I tell you that you are Peter, and it is on this rock that I will build my congregation, and the powers of hell will not conquer it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom from heaven. Whatever you prohibit on earth will have been prohibited in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will have been permitted in heaven."

Then he strictly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
----------------

Luk 9:33-36 Just as Moses and Elijah were leaving, Peter told Jesus, "Master, it's good that we're here! Let's set up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." (Peter didn't know what he was saying.) But while he was saying this, a cloud appeared and surrounded them, and they became terrified as they were being overshadowed by the cloud.

Then a voice came out of the cloud and said, "This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Keep listening to him!" After the voice had spoken, Jesus was alone. The disciples kept silent and at that time told no one about what they had seen.

---------------

We as Gentiles are the other other sheep that doesn't belong to the flock which is the Jews, whom Jesus was speaking to.

Joh 10:14-18 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again. No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is what my Father has commanded me."
----------------
Jesus says that he and the Father are one.

Joh 10:25-31 Jesus answered them, "I have told you, but you do not believe it. The actions that I do in my Father's name testify on my behalf, but you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, they will never be lost, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is more important than anything, and no one can snatch it from the Father's hand. I and the Father are one."
Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him to death.

To ensure that Jesu is God the following is written.

Joh 10:34-39 Jesus replied to them, "Is it not written in your Law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?
If I called those to whom a message from God came 'gods' (and the Scripture cannot be disregarded), how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I am not doing my Father's actions, do not believe me. But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe me, believe the actions, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."

Again they tried to seize him, but he slipped away from them.

----------------------------
[ As Jesus died on the cross then the other flock should have been bought in because in the above he said that he and the Father which means that he is God. By Jesus dying on the cross then this part of scripture is wrong.]

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who believes, of the Jew first and of the Greek as well.
---------------------
[Why is it wrong because of what Jesus said in the following scripture.]

Joh 10:16 I have other sheep that don't belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.


The Jews have one shepherd whom they obey as they agreed to do in the covenant that God made with them.

Exo 19:1-8 On the third New Moon after the Israelis went out of the land of Egypt, on that very day, they came to the desert of Sinai. They had set out from Rephidim and arrived at the desert of Sinai where they camped in the desert. Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain: "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and declare to the sons of Israel, 'You saw what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. And now if you carefully obey me and keep my covenant, you are to be my special possession out of all the peoples. For the whole earth belongs to me, but you are to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation to me.' These are the words you are to declare to the Israelis."

When Moses came, he summoned the elders of the people and told them everything that the LORD had commanded him. All the people answered together: "All that the LORD has said, we will do!" Then Moses reported all the words of the people back to the LORD.
-----------------
The Greek worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, which means that they are not under the covenant as the Jews, because they only worship God. Nobody knows who they obey. This puts them under a different shepherd.

-------------------
The unbelieving Jews said the following;

Joh 19:10-22 So Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to speak to me? You realize, don't you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?"

Jesus answered him, "You have no authority over me at all, except what was given to you from above. That's why the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin."

From then on, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this fellow, you're not a friend of Caesar! Anyone who claims to be a king is defying Caesar!"

When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus outside and sat down on the judgment seat in a place called The Pavement, which in Hebrew is called Gabbatha. Now it was the Preparation Day for the Passover, about noon. He told the Jews, "Here is your king!"

Then they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?" The high priests responded, "We have no king but Caesar!"

Then Pilate handed him over to be crucified, and they took Jesus away. Carrying the cross all by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him, along with two others, one on each side of him with Jesus in the middle.

Pilate wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, "Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Many Jews read this inscription, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. It was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Then the Jewish high priests told Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but that this fellow said, 'I am the King of the Jews.'" Pilate replied, "What I have written I have written."

truthislight:

The quoted scripture is a reference to gentiles being brought into the new covenant i think.

You wish what i said was true, smh.

That is true are Gentiles. In other words if any who are in union with Christ goes back to doing what was written in the scriptures are no longer in union with Christ, we revert back to being (Gentiles) pagans as we do not know God.

Here is the point we are gentiles and God never made a covenant with any of us. God only made a covenant with one nation of people. They are the proplr of Israel whom we call the Jews.

So therefore if some one can show where God changed his mind and made a covenant just like he did with the people of Israel then we do not know God because we as Gentlies have no Law and Commands from God to live out our lives here on earth by.

Following is themaking of the first covenant:

Exo 19:1-8 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Exo 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

------------------

Exo 19:5-6 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Exo 19:8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
----------------
There is another covenant which makes the first covenant obsolete which is xalled the Spirit of grace but we as gentiles have to come through the Jews for our salvation.

[This verse below doesn't say anything about a member of the Church clergy being over the house of God.]

Isn't Jesus a Jew?

Heb 10:16-19 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
-----------
Heb 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
==========
Heb 10:16-31 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God;

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
-----------------------------
[The only way for one to receive eternal salvation is by obeying Jesus. In other words by obeying the Law of Cgrist, but the Churches have the congregations paying tiths and giving offerrings and donations which is the Law of Moses, but they have not taught the members the law of Moses to obey God by.]

Heb 5:9-10 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

-------------------------

Heb 5:5-10 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
---------------------------

What none of you know is that the Church denies Jesus as God come to earth as a human being by the name of Jesus to save his people, who are the Jews, and it is written in the scriptures for all to read.

Mat 1:21-23 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
--------------------
Mat 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
----------------

If any of you can find out who "Heli" is then you would find out who you are worshiping and it isn't Jesus.

Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
---------------


[And it isn't in the Old Testament either.]

1Sa_1:9 Hannah got up after she had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the chair by the doorpost of the tent of the LORD.

-------------------

That is no error either.

King James Bible:
1Sa 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.

Better understanding from the International Standard Version:

1Sa 15:29 Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he's not a man that he should change his mind."

My Bible:
1Sa_15:29 Moreover, the Eternal One of Isra'el will not lie or change his mind, because he isn't a mere human being subject to changing his mind."

------------------

So all the names that are in the Old Testament should be the exact same when mentioned in the New Testament.

But what you don't understand is that you are reading bible translated by the Gentile Church Founders not the scriptures of God's Covenant people whom God gave his Law and Commands to.

My Bible:
1Sa_15:29 Moreover, the Eternal One of Isra'el will not lie or change his mind, because he isn't a mere human being subject to changing his mind."
--------------
Your pastors have never told any of you about this verse here and that is why I usee the scriptures.

[This comes from one of the Church Bibles, the ISV.]

Pro 30:4-6 Who has ascended to heaven, and then descended? Who has collected the wind in his hands? Who has wrapped up waters in a garment? Who has established all the farthest points of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Surely you know! Everything God says is pure; he is a shield for those who take refuge in him. Don't add to his words, or he will rebuke you, and you will be shown to be a liar.

My dear friends, we as gentiles are under neither as God made a covenant with only one nation of people. Those people are the ones that God gave his Law and Commands to and they all agreed to do as God said. They were the people of Israel who we call the Jews.

We as Gentiles worship God. In the eyes of God we are considered pagans as none of us know him.

Also every since the destruction of Jerusalem God's covenant people have been under the vengeance of God by Him placing them in the age of the Gentiles, which for us is the Gentile Church.

King James Bible.
[We as Gentiles are not included in the first covenant.]

Exo 19:1-8 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

We as Gentiles (pagans) do not know God.
King James Bible:
1Th 4:1-5 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
----------------
[ Same scripture but for better understanding, Internatinal Standard Version.]

1Th 4:1 Therefore, brothers, just as you learned from us how you had to live in order to please God, and just as you are living this way now, we ask you — indeed, united with the Lord Jesus, we urge you — to keep doing so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you on the authority of the Lord Jesus.

What God wants is that you be holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality, that each of you know how to manage his sexual impulses in a holy and honorable manner, without giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don't know God.

[God's covenant people have been under God's vengeance every since the destruction of Jerusalem. The first Church was started by the ones that destroyed Jerusalem.]

(The part of scripture below is God come to earth as a human being by the name of Jesus, warning his followers.)

King James Bible:

Luk 21:20-24 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

[Better understanding fom the International Standard Version.]

Luk 21:20-24 "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then understand that its devastation is approaching. Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains, those inside the city must leave it, and those in the countryside must not go into it, because these are the days of vengeance when all that is written will be fulfilled. "How terrible it will be for those women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days! Because there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the edge of the sword and be carried off as captives among all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the gentiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled."

Better Understanding from the International Version.

Mat 1:21-23 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins." Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, "See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us."



Mat 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly. After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," he said, "don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins." Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said, "See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us."

When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife. He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.

hope all will read this and get understanding but all in union with Christ are not to observe the following or they revert back to being pagans. (gentiles).

Gal 4:6-11
In the past, when you did not know God, you served as slaves beings which in reality are non-gods. But now you do know God, and, more than that, you are known by God. So how is it that you turn back again to those weak and miserable elemental spirits? Do you want to enslave yourselves to them once more? You observe special days, months, seasons and years! I fear for you that my work among you has been wasted!
------------------------
Gal 3:15-29
Brothers, let me make an analogy from everyday life: when someone swears an oath, no one else can set it aside or add to it. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his seed. It doesn't say, "and to seeds," as if to many; on the contrary, it speaks of one — "and to your seed" — and this "one" is Christ.

Here is what I am saying: the legal part of the Law, which came into being 430 years later, does not nullify an oath sworn by God, so as to abolish the promise. For if the inheritance comes from the legal part of the Law, it no longer comes from a promise. But God gave it to Abraham through a promise. So then, why the legal part of the Law? It was added in order to create transgressions, until the coming of the seed about whom the promise had been made. Moreover, it was handed down through angels and a mediator.

Now a mediator implies more than one, but God is one.

Does this mean that the legal part of the Law stands in opposition to God's promises? Heaven forbid! For if the legal part of the Law which God gave had had in itself the power to give life, then righteousness really would have come by legalistically following such a Law. But instead, the Hebrew Scriptures shuts up everything under sin; so that what had been promised might be given, on the basis of Jesus Christ's trusting faithfulness, to those who continue to be trustingly faithful.


Now before the time for this trusting faithfulness came, we were imprisoned in subjection to the system which results from perverting the Law into legalism, kept under guard until this yet-to-come trusting faithfulness would be revealed.

Accordingly, the Law functioned as a custodian until Christ came, so that we might be declared righteous on the ground of trusting and being faithful. But now that the time for this trusting faithfulness has come, we are no longer under a custodian. For in union with Christ, you are all children of God through this trusting faithfulness; because as many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ, in whom there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with Christ Jesus, you are all one. Also, if you belong to Christ, you are seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise.

Gal 4:1-31

What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a minor he is no different from a slave, even though he is the legal owner of the estate; rather, he is subject to guardians and caretakers until the time previously set by his father. So it is with us — when we were "children" we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe; but when the appointed time arrived, God sent forth his Son. He was born from a woman, born into a culture in which legalistic perversion of the Law was the norm, so that he might redeem those in subjection to this legalism and thus enable us to be made God's sons.

Now because you are sons, God has sent forth into our hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out, "Abba!" (that is, "Dear Father!". So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son you are also an heir.

In the past, when you did not know God, you served as slaves beings which in reality are non-gods. But now you do know God, and, more than that, you are known by God. So how is it that you turn back again to those weak and miserable elemental spirits? Do you want to enslave yourselves to them once more? You observe special days, months, seasons and years! I fear for you that my work among you has been wasted!

Brothers, I beg of you: put yourselves in my place — after all, I put myself in your place. It isn't that you have done me any wrong — you know that it was because I was ill that I proclaimed the Good News to you at first; and even though my physical condition must have tempted you to treat me with scorn, you did not display any sign of disdain or disgust. No, you welcomed me as if I had been an angel of God, as if I had been Christ Jesus himself!

So what has become of the joy you felt? For I bear you witness that had it been possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. Have I now become your enemy because I tell you the truth?

True, these teachers are zealous for you, but their motives are not good. They want to separate you from us so that you will become zealous for them. To be zealous is good, provided always that the cause is good. Indeed, whether I am present with you or not, my dear children, I am suffering the pains of giving birth to you all over again — and this will go on until Christ takes shape in you.

I wish I could be present with you now and change my tone of voice. I don't know what to do with you. Tell me, you who want to be in subjection to the system that results from perverting the Law into legalism, don't you hear what the Law itself says?

It says that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and one by the free woman.
The one by the slave woman was born according to the limited capabilities of human beings, but the one by the free woman was born through the miracle-working power of God fulfilling his promise.

Now, to make an allegory on these things: the two women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai and bears children for slavery — this is Hagar. Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she serves as a slave along with her children.

But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother; for the Hebrew Sceiptures says, "Rejoice, you barren woman who does not bear children! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the deserted wife will have more children than the one whose husband is with her!"

You, brothers, like Isaac, are children referred to in a promise of God. But just as then the one born according to limited human capability persecuted the one born through the Spirit's supernatural power, so it is now. Nevertheless, what does the Hebrew Scriptures say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for by no means will the son of the slave woman inherit along with the son of the free woman!" So, brothers, we are children not of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

1Th 4:1-5 Therefore, brothers, just as you learned from us how you had to live in order to please God, and just as you are living this way now, we ask you — indeed, united with the Lord Jesus, we urge you — to keep doing so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you on the authority of the Lord Jesus. What God wants is that you be holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality, that each of you know how to manage his sexual impulses in a holy and honorable manner, without giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don't know God.

The gifts of the spirit are not for us as we are not the descendants of Jacob later named Israel. The Lord God made a covenant with the people of Israel in which He gave them his Law and Commands to live by.

Below is the covenant and we as Gentiles are not included in the covenant.

Exo 19:1-12

In the third month after the people of Israel had left the land of Egypt, the same day they came to the Sinai Desert. After setting out from Rephidim and arriving at the Sinai Desert, they set up camp in the desert; there in front of the mountain, Israel set up camp.

Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain: "Here is what you are to say to the household of Jacob, to tell the people of Israel: 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

Now if you will pay careful attention to what I say and keep my covenant, then you will be my own treasure from among all the peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you will be a kingdom of priest for me, a nation set apart.' These are the words you are to speak to the people of Israel."

Moses came, summoned the leaders of the people and presented them with all these words which the Lord had ordered him to say. All the people answered as one, "Everything the Lord has said, we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.

The Lord said to Moses, "See, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, so that the people will be able to hear when I speak with you and also to trust in you forever." Moses had told the Lord what the people had said; so the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people; today and tomorrow separate them for me by having them wash their clothing; and prepare for the third day. For on the third day, the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people. You are to set limits for the people all around; and say, 'Be careful not to go up on the mountain or even touch its base; whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death.

The only way for one to acquire the gifts that one is discussing is that they would belong to God's covenant people the nation of Israel.
