Bible Question: Jesus came to this earth to save mankind from the snares of the devil! Why did He choose to be born as a Jew and not a Gentile? |
Bible Answer: Here's a question... Did Jesus come to Earth to "save mankind" from the snares of the devil? or did he come to "save the elect?" Or am I just begging for a contentious debate? Jesus had to be from Israel via Gen 12,15,17 and several more. Jesus had to be from Judah because of Balaam's final prophesy and the promise made to King David. Judah is the tribe that became known as Jew. Moses said a prophet like himself would come....who had to be from Israel. Why did God choose Israel? They were the least of all people. God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel had no ability to choose God being slaves in Egypt. Why did God choose Abraham? That may be the real question. MJH |
