1 | Who were the 1st Jews (Judah's tribe ?) | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 221083 | ||
Hey Brad... So what do you think we should do with someone like me? Enemies of the Jews consider me a Jew (or much worse). Jews consider me a Gentile (or much worse). Gentiles consider me a Jew, because of my heritage. Dispensationalists called me twice a son of Abraham (a redundancy). Evangelicals of other stripes consider me a "completed Jew" (a Biblical misnomer). Judaizers consider me non-kosher at best and Lawless at worst. The epithet of "Jewish Christian" or "Christian Jew" are problematic if not historically oxymoronic. Something I think about, from time to time. :-) In Him, Doc |

I've pretty much quit worrying about what others call me (as long as they don't call me late for supper) and worry about what the Lord thinks and I think the title that would fit you Doc, is a free child of God who is an heir by His grace. Gal 3:22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Gal 3:23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. Gal 3:24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, Gal 3:26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. (ESV) Brad |

Dear Brad, Instead of "free child," I think I would rather be called "doulos" (Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Philippians 2:7; Colossians 1:7; 4:7; 2 Timothy 2:24; Titus 1:1; James 1:1; 2 Peter 1:1; Jude 1:1; Revelation 1:1). For I was bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20), though hating Him (Romans 5:8), He drew me to Himself in Christ (John 6:44; 1 Peter 3:18). I guess it might be a matter of which nomenclature most appeals to our presuppositions. In Him, Doc |
