Do you take jesus at his word?

Question

He said himself that "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel" Matt 15:24
That means the jews and ONLY the jews( in spite of what that fraud Paul later said.).

It appears that the gentile christians are worshipping a "god" that rejects them and even considers them dogs.
Hey, check it out for yourself. Compare this verse to that bs your local pastor is spewing.

And yes, I am an apostate. Very happy too.


It seems that

Answer 1

It all depends on which words of Jesus you are speaking of. When you realize that the current versions of the Bible are so far from the original texts meant to be the true account of Jesus's life and teaching, many religions seem totally absurd. If you do more research into those texts you will find that jesus's message was closer to one stating that all others can do as he does. Acknowledge that you are of God, as is everything and follow that ideal. This, of course I believe!

Answer 2

Its sad that you're so very hostile to everyone who opposes your view.

But, in answer to your question, yes, Jesus was initially sent only for the Jews. But when he was rejected by the Jews, he opened his arms to any that would follow. If you take a look later in the bible, in Acts Chapter 11, Verse 9,...

"The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

Likewise, in Mathew 25:1-13, Jesus himself told a parable about 10 virgins, in which he explained that those who were not wise would lose their opportunity to those who were. Feel free to read it yourself.

Very specifically, Jesus accused the Jewish religious leaders of hipocracy, saying:

"And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."

And please remember, when viciously attacking someone's religion, that its very easy to take quotes out of context and manipulate them. The Christian faith is based on the ENTIRE bible, not just one sentence.

Everybody is entitled to their opinions. That means all religions. But just as everybody has an opinion as to whether or not Michael Jackson is a child molester, only one side can be right. There is truth, and there is fiction.

That is why Christians (and for that matter, muslims and every other religion) are so "exclusionary" about other peoples beliefs.

True Christians, though, will not viciously attack people in regards to their religion. We debate, talk, and attempt to behave in a civilized manner. We care for people, and share the purpose that Jesus has put in our lives. If that's offensive to you, then you, not Christians, are the one who disturbs the peace.

As to who is, or is not a TRUE Christian, well, the Jesus said you'd know true believers by their behavior. So all I ask as that you please be fair.

God bless you.

Answer 3

BUT READ THE CONTEXT. He does say that he is for the lost sheep of Israel. But also he was Jewish that is how a rabbi teaches. Does he not help out the Canaanite woman? He may have seen if she was going to be faithfull. By the Jesus did help her.
Jesus may have been sent to Minister to the Jews, but he didnt come to just save the jews. Jesus says, "go to the world and make disciples in my name baptizing them in the father and the sun and the holy spirit. Matt 28. Also look at the history of the people of Canaan and Israel. Their are underlining situations that one must look at.

Answer 4

You can't hand pick Bible verses to suite your fancy. It's amazing how some people refuse to take the Bible in it's correct context. You have deliberately left out what Jesus said to this woman in verse 28. " Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt (will). And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. " Why don't you start telling the truth of what that portion of scripture says and means? Your use of God's Word is SICK, SORRY, and SAD. If you really believe that messed up theology and would like to defend your position with an Independent fundamentalist Baptist Pastor just send me a message and I would be happy to take you to school. Bye the way, Islam teaches the same mess that you have just used in your question.

Answer 5

First of all - Since you're doing some studying anyway, keep reading... If you read the whole chapter (I think you should pay special attention to verses 16-20). Jesus was sent to speak to this particular group of people who were in the habit of - well, read the chapter, they were guilty of many things. Long story short, a woman came to see Jesus who was not from this group that he was sent to serve (during this particular excursion). She asked him to help her daughter - that was what he said to her first. Then, AS YOU READ ON... he helped her too. Got any more questions?

Oh, and good luck with that apostate thing - it sounds terrible. I am glad you are able to find happiness despite your condition. Jesus would also look for the good!

Answer 6

Given the tenor of your post and your handle, Mr. Agitator, I can't see how this question merits a serious response. However, I'll give you one anyway:

Your implication takes Matthew 15 entirely out of context of the rest of the narrative. You might just as well state, "The Bible says Judas went out and hung himself....and it also says "Go out and do likewise" (two passages with entirely different contexts)...therefore...."

But the real root of the problem is not faulty literary interpretation - you, my friend, have an axe to grind. So you refuse to allow the text to speak for itself - you deny the Bible the same principles of litereary interpretation you would grant any other document or work of literature.

So you reach this foolish conclusion. But thanks for the two points.

Answer 7

The light of the world is our Lord Jesus Christ,
As bible defines, he's the Word, he is all advice,
He is truth and light, and in him is our very life,
He came to his own and his own knew him not.

Making way for the Gentiles to except our Christ,
Israel and Judah got it wrong, let us get it right,
Let us learn the bible by heart, his mind is smart,
That at his coming, most can claim a good fight.

To stand before him proud to be God's on child,
And being judged by his WORD, brings on a smile,
So he can see us Gentiles were really worth while,
He knew it, we can prove it, if we've truely tried.

Jesus is root of David, the bright and morning star,
The lion of the tribe of Judah, as king David was,
First creation of God, Alpha, Omega, universal WORD,
He has ELECT, with understanding that have heard.

As priest of God and Christ they help save the world,
When it's all over and done, each is just another Son,
Jesus gets his new name, making him an equal Son,
God is all in all and perfect in all, trust is in everyone.

We have made it to be counted with the very just,
In Jesus world where treasures never ever rust,
All here with Jesus our hearts of pride near burst,
He gave his life to show, our value, and our worth,

Now Jesus has made for billion a brand new earth,
It's a new Eden, a paradise, our dust is not cursed.
Some did not make it, as given every opportunity,
Thoughts of it all, their damnations in our memory,

Here we have eternity, a tree of life, a paridise to see,
All God and Christ ever wanted was for us to be free,
SAVED from sin that made everything so temporary.
It was a gift to all, it just required some real decency.

Answer 8

Yes, we must absolutely take Jesus at His word. We must also first unlock His words using the Spiritual Key which, Paul has done, and I'm affraid, you have not. Plus, Jesus' words have a Universal meaning. So, while you can say what the words mean to you, you cannot define them for someone else. Please, for the love of all things, open your heart. We can make the words of Jesus Christ mean any evil thing we want, but why would we do that?

Answer 9

Yes I do take God at His word. I can't remember where but somewhere in the Bible it says that salvation is to the Jews AND Gentiles.

Answer 10

Yes, I take Jesus at his word, "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

"This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord."
