Hi John, Thank you. I had translation and transliteration explained to me earlier, so I understand your answer. I guess, in a way, I was kinda asking persmission to use His name Yeshua here, not wanting to cause discension. I'm not Jewish by birth, only by adoption, spiritually, and in my heart. Blessings Cheri |

Hi Cheri, This may open quite a discussion. But I believe that as the Church, we have a little different relationship with God then does the nation Israel. Israel was rejected as God's Priests, and that priesthood, has been given now to His church. The promises He gave to Abraham are also different. Abraham was promised the land, and that ultimately will be the new earth, we will be God's priests, and live in the new Jerusalem, at least for the millennia. After that, all of God's kingdom will be our domain. i.e. the universe, or the new heavens. This would take quite a lot of time to go through all the Scripture on this. And, I may not be exactly accurate in all my understanding, but I believe I'm pretty close. God bless. John |

Dear John, Well said! Galatians is all about just this very point! There are no classes in Christianity. A Jewish Christian has no merit to grace than does a Gentile Christian, nor does a Gentile Christian have any less merit to grace than does a Jewish Christian. Indeed, grace isn't a matter of merit at all. (Notwithstanding the efforts of our forum friends who want to make salvation possible other than through Christ alone!) Paul was rightly offended by this idea. The Jews had abandoned the faith based righteousness of Abraham, for a works based righteousness. A complete failure! So why in the world would they want to take the grace out of the gospel and load folks up with the old failed practices of the Jews? But that was what they tried to do. There is something deep within our fallen nature that wants to try to meet God half-way in our salvation. "Upon Your own finished work (John 19:30) I now cast myself. 'Save, Lord and I shall be saved!' Before this stupendous truth, let all creature merit sink, let all human glory pale, let all man's boasting vanish, and Jesus be all in all." --Octavius Winslow In Him, Doc |

Doc, It is good for my soul, to hear an amen from one I esteem to be an excellent expositor of truth. Thank you! :-) Sorry my response was slow, I had to go feed the neighbors dogs. God bless. John |
