No distinction between Jew and Gentile when it comes to salvation. The following is a false idea: "He will still accept them in the end and the nation of Jews will be saved, no matter what." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same [Lord] is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him: Rom 10:12 ASV (1901) To whom was Jesus speaking when he said "Ye must be born again" (John 3:7)? Was it not to Nicodemus, a Jew himself and "a ruler of the Jews"? Israel was God's chosen nation. But chosen for what? "chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God" (Rom 3:2). To say that the Jewish nation was chosen for salvation is to err. As we know, salvation is open to people of every tribe and tongue and nation. It is open to whosoever will (Romans 10:13). To assume that the Jewish people (or anyone else) can be saved without trusting Christ is beyond error. It is totally illogical and contradicts every passage of Scripture on the subject of salvation. |

Israel was chosen. No question about it. But chosen for what? FOR WHAT? Israel, so named from the grandson of Abraham, was chosen for a fourfold mission: '(1) to witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry. Deuteronomy 6:4 ; Isaiah 43:10,12 '(2) to illustrate to the nations the blessedness of serving the true God. Deuteronomy 33:26-29 ; 1 Chronicles 17:20,21 ; Psalms 144:15 '(3) to receive, preserve, and transmit the Scripture. Deuteronomy 4:5-8; Romans 3:1,2 '(4) to produce, as to His humanity, the Messiah. Genesis 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 28:10-14; 49:10 ; 2 Samuel 7:12-16 ; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Matthew 1:1; Romans 1:3' (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Romans 11".

'Salvation Without Conversion?' ____________________ John Hagee "...believes that Jewish people do not need to be saved, since they are under a different covenant" (http://www.equip.org/free/DE405.htm). ____________________ 'The Bible paints a different picture. The apostle Paul demonstrates that Israel had a responsibility to respond to the Gospel, but rejected it. In Romans 10:19-21, he asks, “Did they [the Jews] fail to hear?” The rhetorical answer is “no.” Paul relates that, as light and darkness are understood by all, so the gospel has been made known to all the Jews (cf. Acts 17:6; 21:28). He continues, “Did they fail to understand?” The answer once again is “no.” Since Israel has become disobedient through unbelief (Rom. 11:30), God has delivered the gospel to the Gentiles. 'But God has not entirely rejected Israel — Paul (himself a Jew) is living proof of this (Rom. 11:1). God has preserved a remnant, while the others were hardened as a consequence of their unbelief and trusting in works instead of the righteousness of Christ (Rom. 11:5-7; cf. 9:31-32; 11:20-23). Elsewhere the apostle writes, “. . . by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His [God’s] sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin. . . . for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 3:20, 23-24, emphasis added). 'To drive the point home, Paul goes on to say, “. . . the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise nullified; . . . it is by faith, that it might be in accordance with grace” (Rom. 4:13-14, 16). Scripture draws no distinction between Jews and Gentiles on the issue of salvation, which is attained by grace through faith alone in Christ, “apart from works of the law” (3:28; cf. vv. 21-22). 'Paul recognized that the Jews of his day had a misguided zeal that caused them to stumble on this very point (9:31-32; 10:2-4). Why would he suffer great anguish and wish he were accursed for Israel’s sake if none of them were truly lost? His anguish comes from the realization that many Israelites are not saved (Rom. 9:3, 6, 27; 10:1, 9-15; cf. Acts 2:14, 21, 37-39; Rom. 11:14, 17-23). 'The Law, revealed through the Jews, was meant to be “our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor” (Gal. 3:24-25). As the Bible clearly states: “There is neither Jew nor Greek . . . for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise” (vv. 28-29). To be saved, a person — whether Jew or Gentile — must turn to Christ (5:4-6; cf. John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Rom. 10:9-13)...In writing that the “message of the gospel was from Israel, not to Israel,” Hagee discourages Christians from sharing the Good News with unsaved Jews who, like everyone else, have need of the gospel if they are to spend eternity with God in heaven.' ____________________ To read more, including footnoted references, go to: (http://www.equip.org/free/DH005.htm). |

"The Jews rejected Jesus because God did not allow them to know who Jesus was." True or False NASB Acts 17:6 When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have come here also; NASB Acts 21:28 crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place." The Jews rejected Jesus because God did not allow them to know who Jesus was? 'The Bible paints a different picture. The apostle Paul demonstrates that Israel had a responsibility to respond to the Gospel, but rejected it.

Here are more verses. John 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. Joh 12:11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. |

588 | Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 122924 | ||
Who says the Sabbath is on Sunday? Not I. The Sabbath (seventh day of the week) has not been changed to Sunday (the first day). The Sabbath never was, is not now, and never shall be on the first day of the week -- Sunday. Exodus 20:8-11 (ESV) "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, [10] but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. [11] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. The Seventh Day "But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God." The nation Israel always kept the sabbath on Saturday. There was never any confusion over which day was meant. Who changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? No one changed it. Most Gentile Christians are not keeping the sabbath -- meant to be a day of COMPLETE REST for man and beast. Rather they celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day -- not to be confused with Saturday, the Sabbath. 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day. The lone reference to a gathering "On the first day of the week" (20:7) most likely reflects an emerging Christian consensus that the first day was an appropriate day on which to meet for worship and celebrating the Lord's Supper' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/BakersEvangelicalDictionary/bed.cgi). |

592 | Should a christian believe in destiny? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 123535 | ||
"you who...fill cups of mixed wine for DESTINY, I will DESTINE you to the sword" (Emphasis added.) Here is what the Bible says about destiny. Isaiah 65:11-12 (ESV) But you who forsake the Lord, who forget my holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill cups of mixed wine for Destiny, [12] I will destine you to the sword, and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter, because, when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen, but you did what was evil in my eyes and chose what I did not delight in." |

If the "original Greek" was good enough for the King James translators, it is good enough for us! ******************** KJV Only Controversy ____________________ "It is true that God wrote only one Bible, but it is also true that it was not the King James translation." ____________________ 'The Biblical Position on The KJV Controversy 'We regularly receive letters from our Grace To You listeners who react to statements that, "The better and older texts say. . ." Our listeners conclude that the Greek manuscripts behind the KJV are not accurate. Often they send literature defending the KJV. 'Here is a typical letter: 'Dear Pastor MacArthur: 'I regard you as one of the best ministers around and your interpretation as tops. We have many of your tapes, notes, etc. So you can see that in this household you are highly regarded. 'However, there is one area where I, personally, am becoming extremely confused and frustrated. This is when you, as well as a few other ministers, state that certain Scriptures (usually from KJV) are not accurate according to the best manuscripts. And, today, during the broadcast I thought I understood you to say that the KJV is not really the most accurate translation. Yet, I have heard and read from equally godly sources that the KJV is the most accurate, and they give source material for this conclusion that sounds most convincing. 'So, I would very much appreciate a clarification. When you refer to a KJV Scripture as "not according to the best manuscripts" just exactly what do you mean and what exactly are the best manuscripts? If KJV is not the most accurate translation, then which translation is and why do you regard it so? 'I'm sure you will agree that in this day and time we all need to be able to point to God's Word and say to the ungodly, et. al., that it is accurate and why. It is most important that we all know and be sure of what we are talking about, in order to be witnesses of the true Word of God. 'Thank you very much for your response. 'In His Name, 'In response to these letters, we have developed this statement: 'Thank you for your recent letter and encouragement concerning our tape ministry. The question you raised concerning various Bible versions is a very complex issue that cannot be adequately discussed in a letter. Often times it is filled with more emotion and heat than it is knowledge and light. Let me share with you my own conclusions after studying these issues. Bible versions, such as the New International Version and the New American Standard Bible, have been translated by godly men of demonstrated academic repute from the very best manuscript evidence that is available today. May I add, the manuscript evidence that is now available is far superior to that which was available to the King James Version's translators in 1611. I would have no reservation in recommending these versions, yet I myself choose to continue using the Scofield Reference Bible because it is the text with which I am most familiar. 'Let me recommend a recent book which very carefully discusses the issues. I think you might find it helpful. The author is Donald A. Carson, "The King James Version Debate," published by Baker Book House. I have also enclosed a well-written pamphlet by the president of one of America's leading seminaries, a Greek scholar in his own right, which presents a very balanced view of the King James Version. 'Just a final word, keep in mind that the supporters of "God wrote only one Bible" theology have mistakenly equated the 1611 King James Bible with the original manuscripts written in the first century. It is true that God wrote only one Bible, but it is also true that it was not the King James translation. 'These are detailed issues, especially for those who are not trained in the field of the Greek language and New Testament textual studies. But I trust that these brief comments will prove helpful. 'Yours In His service, 'John MacArthur Pastor-Teacher' ____________________ www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/KJV.HTM See also: (www.kjvonly.org). This website is dedicated to the defense of the Bible as originally written, against the flood of falsehood propagated by King James Onlyism. ******************** If the "original Greek" was good enough for the King James translators, it is good enough for us! ******************** KJV Only Controversy 1thes521 |

'QUESTIONS FOR THE KJV-ONLY CULT 'by Gary R. Hudson '(1) Must we possess a perfectly flawless bible translation in order to call it "the word of God"? If so, how do we know "it" is perfect? If not, why do some "limit" "the word of God" to only ONE "17th Century English" translation? Where was "the word of God" prior to 1611? Did our Pilgrim Fathers have "the word of God" when they brought the GENEVA BIBLE translation with them to North America? '(2) Were the KJV translators "LIARS" for saying that "the very meanest [poorest] translation" is still "the word of God"? '(3) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek used for the KJV are "the word of God"? '(4) Do you believe that the Hebrew and Greek underlying the KJV can "correct" the English? '(5) Do you believe that the English of the KJV "corrects" its own Hebrew and Greek texts from which it was translated? '(6) Is ANY translation "inspired"? Is the KJV an "inspired translation"? '(7) Is the KJV "scripture"? Is IT "given by inspiration of God"? [2 Tim. 3:16] '(8) WHEN was the KJV "given by inspiration of God" - 1611... or any of the KJV major/minor revisions in 1613, 1629, 1638, 1644, 1664, 1701, 1744, 1762, 1769, and the last one in 1850? '(9) In what language did Jesus Christ...teach that the Old Testament would be preserved forever according to Matthew 5:18? '(10) Where does the Bible teach that God will perfectly preserve His Word in the form of one seventeenth-century English translation?' ____________________ www.kjvonly.org/gary/questkjv.htm 1th521 |

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (The Fourth Commandment) In Exodus 20:8-11 there is no mention of the word "worship". In the Ten Commandments there is no command to "worship" on the seventh day. In the Ten Commandments the Sabbath was given as a day of complete rest. Exodus 35:2-3 (KJV) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. [3] Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. "The seventh-day Sabbath was simply and only a day of complete rest for man and beast, a humane provision for man's needs" (Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Matthew 12". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition). (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/ScofieldReferenceNotes/)) Exodus 20:8-11 (KJV) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. [9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: [10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: [11] For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. On the other hand, there is no New Testament command changing the Sabbath from the seventh day to the first day of the week. Neither is there any NT command to worship on Sunday. 'Among the several references to the Sabbath in Acts (1:12; 13:14-44; 15:21; 17:2; 18:4; 20:7) there is little evidence to suggest that the earliest Christian communities deviated from the traditional Sabbath observed on the seventh day.
