Bible Question: Thank you for your response. But, where did Jesus say to accept the Gentiles. Where is it written in His words. John 3:16 is from John not Jesus. According to John, not Jesus. Paul and some of the other Apostles came up with this acceptance. Jesus never said it. He referred to the Gentiles as dogs and that He came for His people, Israel. Acts 10:36, Matt 1:21. Jesus said not to go to the Gentiles Matt 10:5. Paul said himself that he was a liar, why believe him. Rom. 7:14. Where did Jesus say it? |
Bible Answer: Jesus said: Matt 28:19 - go and make disciples of all nations Matt 25:32 - all the nations will be gathered before him. John 10:16 other sheep I have that are not of this pasture. There are others but I am out of time to look them up. "If I be lifted up from the world I will draw all men unto me" and "On that day men will come from the east and from the west as sit down with Abraham and ??? but the children of the kingdom will be cast out." If I recall my greek correctly the word "ethnos" is variously rendered "gentiles" and "Nations". It is a mistake to place some scriptures as more important than others because ALL scripture is inspired by God. and also Men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God - if every word of God was in red then the whole bible would be in red. If you accept the trinity why single out the words of Jesus as if they were different from the words of God and the Holy Spirit? It is also a mistake to play one verse off against another. Scholars for the last 2,000 years (almost) have had the scriptures to compare and probably did so more diligently than anyone today and yet the wisest have believed in the infalibility of the whole bible. When we find an apparent contradiction we reveal the limitation of our own intellect not the limitation of scripture. |
