1 | was abraham ever a gentile? | Genesis | TommyS | 101750 | ||
Yes, Abraham WAS a "Gentile". The Gospel according to Matthew was written to the Hebrew Jews. That is why his gospel begins with the genealogy of Jesus WITH Abrabam. Had Eber been "the father of the Hebrews" as Shalor apparently thinks, Matthew WOULD have begin his Gospel with - "Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham, the son of Eber." I trust what Taleb wrote (and this little P.S.) helps answer your question. TommyS |

2 | Christ and war | Is 9:6 | TommyS | 107098 | ||
As Norm stated, Matt 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." Jesus words instruct us not to protest war. Do a word study on the clue words "not be troubled" and discover that word means "to cry aloud, make a noise by outcry." "Must come to pass" words mean "it is necessary. it right, it is proper." God's ways are higher than ours and although we think of "war" as from the devil, many have already come to Christ BECAUSE of the present war in Iraq. Both our soldiers and the Iraqis. We should be protesting against what the news media declares rather than fighting against what God is doing there. During the Iranian and Iraqi 'crisis' many from both sides began their walk with the King of Kings and the Prince of Peace. An American missionary friend of mine actually entered into Iran DURING the embassy hostage situation, many times. Prior to that crisis, he hadn't been allowed. TommyS |
