Greetings hobbs, Let me see if I'm hearing you right. Are you suggesting that Gen 12:3 is only talking about believers and not the offspring of Abraham in general? Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. "Presuming" that you are right in your opinion, would you say that all of those that God delivered out of Egypt were believers? Many of us, me included, are the wild olive tree and we, only by the grace of God, have been grafted in where the “natural branches” have been “temporally” broken off. The Jews are still the chosen “people” of God and make no mistake about it! I am a firm believer in the following, with emphasis on the word “ALL”. Romans 11:25-28 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. [26] And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: [27] For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. [28] As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. CDBJ |

Dear CDBJ, Gen 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." You asked, "Are you suggesting that Gen 12:3 is only talking about believers and not the offspring of Abraham in general?". Gen 12:3 clearly refers to God's chosen people among Israel as a whole. I say that because it is beyond my ability to see how wicked unbelievers (children of their father the devil) can possibly be a blessing to anyone! In answer to your 2nd Q is no. I believe that among those who God delivered from Egypt were believers and unbelievers alike. That is... children of the flesh as well as the children of the promise. I would appreciate your understanding of Rom 9:6-8. Especially given the context that God has mercy on whom He will have mercy. John |

Hi John, It’s rather obvious what Rom. 9:6-8 is talking about. All I am saying is that there are millions that have been blessed because of the Jews and the Jews haven’t all been born again believers, as it were. What I "think" we need to clarify is what is meant by being blessed. I know and have personally been blessed with the salvation of the Lord but this is not what I am talking about. There a numerous blessings, that the people of this country have enjoyed and taken for granted because of the actions of great Jewish people that “weren’t” believers in Christ. Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Do you know that the largest financial institutions in this great country of ours are run by Jews! They are absolutely genius when it comes to money and financial endeavors; do you suppose they are all messianic Jews? I said it before and I will say it again, if the USA turns against the Jews we will be washed up as a country; and you can take that to the bank, if there will be any banks left! I don’t know how old you are but when I was a kid the most dreaded disease was something called polio! Then there was a guy named Jonas Salk who discovered a way to eliminate it. I think he was Irish or something like that. Seriously, not all blessing have to be “spiritual” in nature. “As a nation”, and there is no such thing as a Christian nation, I believe the USA “as a nation”, has been truly blessed by God because of our treatment and being favorable neighbors with the Jewish people. Many don’t realize it but the word “Jew” can mean a race, a religion or a nation. I’m not Jewish, by race, nor am I trying to pat anyone on the back, but the Jews are the most fantastic race of people on this planet, baring none! We have “a lot” of blessings in this “country” because of association with the Jews; take it or leave it. CDBJ x |

from Wikipedia: "Jews constitute 22 percent of Nobel Prize laureates, though they constitute less than 0.2 percent of the world's population. A breakdown of the specific prizes follows. Physics: 45 prize winners, which is 26 percent of world total Chemistry: 28 prize winners, which is 19 percent of world total Physiology or Medicine: 52 prize winners, which is 29 percent of world total Economics: 21 prize winners, which is 38 percent of world total Literature: 12 prize winners, which is 12 percent of world total Peace: 9 prize winners, which is 10 percent of world total" To read more, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jewish_Nobel_Prize_winners Nearly one third of Nobel Prizes for Medicine and Physiology have been awarded to Jews. How much would you bet that each of us who is reading this have received more than one personal physical benefit from these Jews? Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanks Mark, Very interesting, the only part I would change is the word benefit to the word blessing! The Lord is still on His Throne! Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. CDBJ x |
