1 | Jesus sent only to the House of Israel? | Matt 15:24 | ohmi | 207819 | ||
Why did Jesus say that he was for now only sent to the [non-Jewish, but Israelite] House of Israel and why is the new covenant only with a remnant few of them and of the the Jews :- Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. |

2 | Jesus sent only to the House of Israel? | Matt 15:24 | srbaegon | 207820 | ||
Hello ohmi, First, there is no such thing as a "[non-Jewish, but Israelite] House of Israel." To answer your question, the Lord Jesus went to His own and offered them the kingdom as their messiah, but they rejected Him. In the future, He will establish again a covenant with Israel (Jer 31:31-34), but it will be new in form and scope. Steve |

3 | Ephraim never accepted Judaism ! | Matt 15:24 | ohmi | 207824 | ||
[The children of/ remnant of] the House of Israel are clearly Israelites and equally clearly were separate from the House of Judah and rejected Judaism, serving other gods to this day ,as the Torah states :- Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. So please explain your statement which disagrees with the Torah [Law] here. As for the new covenant, it was explained to Israel long before Jesus came [Jer 31:31-34] and, since the disciples were almost exclusively Jewish , there can be no doubt that some Jews accepted Jesus as the messiah ,although the Rabbis rejected him because he claimed authority above them which they interpreted as blasphemy [and so had their Roman overlords kill him] The House of Israel [led by Ephraim] is clearly the lost foolish [God-less] Israelite nation who , unlike the Jews, ceased to be a people but are prophesied to re-emerge from amongst the gentiles and make the Jews jealous with knowledge of the messiah :- Isaiah 7:8 ...within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people. Deuteronomy 32:21 ...I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Again, this role, of re-united Israel as one nation with one king of both Jews and the House of Israel, is prophesied in the Torah [Ex 19:6] as the lot of the remnant "children of Israel", not just the Jews, but also the paganised House of Israel who never accepted Judaism, who never were and never became Jews , but serve other gods unlike Judasim, and were scattered amongst all nations long before the Jews were. Yet God forgives their paganism unconditionally in their new covenant [Jer 31:31-34, Heb 8:8-12] , not for their sake, but for His sake, because of His prophecy ... thus the Jews need to be taught their own Torah and Prophets because the re-emergence of the House of Israel is prophesied and it cannot be re-united with the Jews until they understand that they are not the only Israelites , that God also sifted the House of Israel through the gentile nations :- Amos 9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. The differeneces then are that: -1.- the Jews never ceased to be a nation, but the House of Israel did. -2.- the Jews held to Judaism, but the House of Israel served other Gods even from long before Jesus came to the present. -3.- No modern Jews are descended from Ephraim ,yet we know that the descendants of the house of Israel are part of the eventually re-united Israel under the messiah. -4.- Jesus was sent only to the House of Israel and sent his disciples rather to the House of Israel [the so-called 'great commission'] amongst the gentiles [not to the gentiles ,nor to the House of Judah, the 'Jews' !] -5.- Jews did not 'serve other gods' when they were scattered , they stuck with Judaism and so retained their identity, but the House of Israel vanished as a nation , a holy people known only to God as the [larger] part of His holy nation Israel. So you did not support your statements [as requested to do so by the site], but it seems that you very much need to since they apparently disagree with both the OT and the NT ... |

4 | Ephraim never accepted Judaism ! | Matt 15:24 | srbaegon | 207830 | ||
Hello ohmi, Deut 28:64 does not prove that "the House of Israel are clearly Israelites and equally clearly were separate from the House of Judah and rejected Judaism, serving other gods to this day"? Since the rest of your post is based on this verse which speaks nothing of what you say, I will address your five concluding items only. 1. The northern tribes referred to as Israel ceased as a political entity. 2. How do you know what the "House of Israel" did if they were carried into captivity? 3. Scripture plainly states that the faithful of each tribe left Israel to dwell in Judah (2 Chron 11:13-17). Your statement is cannot be correct. 4. So by inference, you are saying we should never share the gospel with Gentiles. The apostle Paul would disagree. 5. I'm not sure what you are getting at. Steve |
