Bible Note: Greg Whoa! Now your into I guess for a lack of a better word "semi" replacement theology. Greg that is false teaching your getting. The church is not Ephraim. The ten "lost" tribes are no more lost than the tribes of Benjamin and Judah they were just disperse earlier. Assyrian’s used the method of conquest where they removed all natives from their land and moved them to another in an effort to throw them off balance and make governing them easier. That is exactly what they did with the northern tribes if Israel. The Babylonians used a different they allowed some familiar with the land to remain behind and preserve it. Then Cyrus allowed the children of Israel to return. However in 70 AD nearly all Jews were disperse out their land and into the world. The statement of faith at this web site talks about keeping the feasts. Jesus is the fulfillment of the feasts. Should we celebrate the feast or Jesus which the feast pointed to? The web site goes to long lengths identifying God as Elohim should we not also call him “I AM” as He introduced Himself to Moses, or Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God has many names however “God” is sufficient. The web site says the church has been blind for 1800 years. Isn’t it interesting we worship a God that wasn’t powerful enough to prevent the church being blinded by these so called lies? It took 1800 years for the truth to emerge. To me that is a pretty small god and certainly not the God I worship. I worship the God that said even the gates of Hell could not resist the power and might of His church. When you see these men make claims that they have the truth does it not remind you of all the other men that have came before and after them saying they have the truth all others are deceived. Do you really believe God would allow that to happen? This teaching may be new and exciting with is it’s suggestion, mysticism and intrigue but has nothing to do with reality. A Gentile is a gentile is a gentile. A child of Israel is a child of Israel is a child of Israel. Both can find salvation and everlasting life in Christ but not in the attempt to keep the Torah. EdB |
