Bible Note: 'The Jews are promised the Land of Cannon. the Promise was actually given to Abraham God also made the covenant to Himself. If you look back at Genesis God walked through the cut animals alone (This is when Abraham asked God to "prove it" and Abraham had the dream. Abraham never walked through. So technecally speaking Its a Covenant with God. But the way most people view it is Abraham and God who made the covenant with Conditions Abrahams Condition was to leave his home land he did that.' I wasn't speaking of the Abrahamic Covenant, but rather the Sinaitic Covenant God made with the liberated Israel. "When it comes to Hell I believe there is a hell but at the same time I believe there is something we are missing somewheres. I dunno where it is or what it is. For example Jews are given 2 threats they are 1) To be cut off (Kicked out of Israel)" To be cut off from God's covenant people means no salvation. We have to remember that hell is much more defined by the Messiah himself, and his warnings of hell were given to his Jewish disciples. The words of John the Baptist to the Jews are also instructive: 'But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father'; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."' --Matthew 3:7-12 Clearly Jewish covenant unfaithfulness was more than geopolitical exile. "The New Testement Jesus said about Judas. Its better for him not to have been born. That seems a mild compared to hell." What Jesus is saying is it would have been better for Judas not to have existed precisely because he will be in hell. --Joe! |
