1 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | gjboone | 73865 | ||
Ed, There are a number of areas that need clarification. This is why Protestant America is walking in deception, they do not know the entire Bible. "Israel" is anyone who has joined himself to YHWH's set apart people. Within the group of "Israel" is a subset of people known as "Jews". Jews are primarily descendants of the tribe of Judah but also include Levi and Benjamin. Initially, they were all called Israel. The separation came about after the reign of Solomon as a punishment for spiritual adultery. The 10 tribes in the North were known as Ephraim/Israel and the 2 in the South as Judah/Jews. There is important info regarding who actually made up the original tribes. It is too much to explain here but this link is fairly straight forward. http://www.goodword.net/two_houses.htm Solomon said there is nothing new under the sun and that which has been is that which will be again. Isaiah 30:9 "...this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law (Torah) of the LORD:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. If you do not do your homework, you will never see the truth. Greg Boone |

Greg Whoa! Now your into I guess for a lack of a better word "semi" replacement theology. Greg that is false teaching your getting. The church is not Ephraim. The ten "lost" tribes are no more lost than the tribes of Benjamin and Judah they were just disperse earlier. Assyrian’s used the method of conquest where they removed all natives from their land and moved them to another in an effort to throw them off balance and make governing them easier. That is exactly what they did with the northern tribes if Israel. The Babylonians used a different they allowed some familiar with the land to remain behind and preserve it. Then Cyrus allowed the children of Israel to return. However in 70 AD nearly all Jews were disperse out their land and into the world. The statement of faith at this web site talks about keeping the feasts. Jesus is the fulfillment of the feasts. Should we celebrate the feast or Jesus which the feast pointed to? The web site goes to long lengths identifying God as Elohim should we not also call him “I AM” as He introduced Himself to Moses, or Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God has many names however “God” is sufficient. The web site says the church has been blind for 1800 years. Isn’t it interesting we worship a God that wasn’t powerful enough to prevent the church being blinded by these so called lies? It took 1800 years for the truth to emerge. To me that is a pretty small god and certainly not the God I worship. I worship the God that said even the gates of Hell could not resist the power and might of His church. When you see these men make claims that they have the truth does it not remind you of all the other men that have came before and after them saying they have the truth all others are deceived. Do you really believe God would allow that to happen? This teaching may be new and exciting with is it’s suggestion, mysticism and intrigue but has nothing to do with reality. A Gentile is a gentile is a gentile. A child of Israel is a child of Israel is a child of Israel. Both can find salvation and everlasting life in Christ but not in the attempt to keep the Torah.

It late but one quick question. When was the promise to Ephraim fufilled, Genesis 48:19 when it was said "his seed shall become a multitude of nations"? | ||||||

Greg Ephraim did indeed become the dominant tribe of the 10 northern tribes, eventually being used as the national designate for the 10 tribes in the prophets (Is. 7:2,5,9,17; Hos. 9:3–16).

YHWH promised Abraham that his seed would be as the dust of the earth. What percentage of the earth's land mass did Ephraim occupy? What percentage of the world's population? "in thy seed shall all nations be blessed" We know that Yeshua is of the promise but the word "blessed" in Hebraic thought is not linear. Blessed means more than a spiritual blessing. I do not see the short-lived 10 tribes as fulfilling this prophecy. |

Greg I don't believe the God is done with the Jews yet. I expect to see many things take place in the millennium. Also as I said before we are adopted into the family of God not replacing God’s chosen but standing beside them. Calling God Abba father. EdB |

Ed, There is going to be a day of Wrath before the millennium and it is not going to matter what you label yourself as only that you repent and return to what YHWH commanded in the beginning. "Fear God and keep His commandments for this is the whole duty of man." Remember the parable of Matthew 13:24-30, an enemy has planted "bad seed" in with the good seed and ruined some of the harvest. Judgment begins at the House of YHWH separating wheat from tares. Are you familiar with Ezekiel 37:15-28? If not you should read it. It talks about YHWH bringing the House of Ephraim (Christianity) out of the nations to be united with the House of Judah. This prophecy has not happened yet and if you read verses 37:23-24 closely you will see that both Houses need correcting. Judah needs to receive Messiah and Christianity needs to return to Torah. There will be no Jew or Christian anymore, there will be only those who obey YHWH and those who didn't. Greg Boone |

Greg Boone You read the Ezekiel passage to mean Christianity I read it to mean a spiritual awakening within Israel. The Jews have returned home they haven't returned to their God. Your right the Jews need the Messiah but I don't see that happening until the there is a spiritual awakening within Israel. The fact I do not buy into your need to have Sabbath rest does not mean I do not obey God. EdB |

Ed, Romans 11:17 "And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee." Ed, do you know what the olive tree is and about its roots? This link is a brief introduction: http://www.localaccess.com/Pari/olive.htm Greg Boone |

Greg We already went there remembre I talked about the 5 in one tree here in Florida. Where various fruit are grafted to a bitter lemon tree root stock. All the limbs remain what they once were they just draw their life from the root. Just as we draw life from Christ. EdB |
