Is this statement of Jesus is right?

Question

Matthew 15:24 Jesus said, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of lsrael,". This would of course mean that he is here only to save the Jews. The scriptures repeatedly back up this notion that Christ is savior to the Jews and not the gentiles (see Romans 16:17, Revelations 14:3-4 & John 10).


and if anyone says Jesus was sent for humankind than Jesus is wrong?
please explain

But iread from this website....................

Answer 1

misinterpreted from the scriptures, you should read more.

Answer 2

You have read this passage correctly. There are quite a few passages in Matthew where Jesus makes it plain that his message is intended only for Jews...

However, in the tacked on ending, Jesus instructs his disciples to 'Go and teach ALL the nations'...

Using this, Christians, and especially Catholics and other followers of Paul's teachings (rather than Jesus's), claim that the resurrected Christ over-ruled his earlier instructions.

But then again, how can God be divided against himself?

It's all very confusing, but that's Christianity for you! A bizarre religion, concocted by the Roman Jew Paul, whose primary career was killing the followers of Jesus and whose lasting legacy has been distorting the teachings of Jesus into the bizarre death-cult known as Christianity!




O go on and report me, if you have no idea what 'Love' really is!

Answer 3

I think that this simply means that Jesus' responsibility was to fulfill the prophecies and the promises from and to Israel.

From The Fourfold Gospel Commentary:
"Jesus had not forborne answering her prayers through lack of feeling, but from principle. It was part of the divine plan that his "personal" ministry should be confined to the Jewish people. Divine wisdom approved of this course as best, not only for the Jews, but for the Gentiles as well. Variations from this plan were to be few and were to be granted only as rewards to those of exceptional faith. Also see Matthew 10:6."

One suggestion i would have would be to always be sure to read the Bible in the context of the whole Book.

Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."

Acts 14:27 On arriving there, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

Acts 15:4 Simon has described to us how God at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself.

Romans 3:29 Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

Romans 15:8-12 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs 9 so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name." 10 Again, it says, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people." 11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and sing praises to him, all you peoples." 12 And again, Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him."

There are a lot more verses too. Jesus offered hope to the Gentiles through his resurrection. His sacrifice made it to where anyone who called on God's name could become one of His people.

The fact that you found a site that takes numerous scriptures out of context doesn't really carry much weight.

Answer 4

He did come for the lost sheep of Israel. However, most of them rejected Him because they didn't recognize Him. They expected Him to save them in the way *they* thought He would. But God had a different plan for salvation than they thought. The verses you quoted don't seem to reflect what you're talking about. Maybe you accidentally typed the wrong verse numbers, I don't know. John 10:16 "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd." This is where He is telling us that He will save the Gentiles also. It is through the Spirit of adoption that the Gentiles are saved. Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." By believing in God, like Abraham did (receiving God through faith) we became adopted sons and daughters of Abraham thereby receiving the promise of salvation. Galatians 3:8 "And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham." Jesus Christ is the Messiah, and Romans 9 through 11 explains that the Jews will be saved as well as the Gentiles. It's hard to understand, but if you pray with a sincere heart and in faith for understanding, God will show it to you. Peace.

Answer 5

God's pact was originally with the natural born Jews but they lost favor in God's eyes so he opened the Kingdom to the Gentile nations.

Speaking to people in Jerusalem a few days before his death, Jesus said with deep feeling: “How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings! But you people did not want it. Look! Your house is abandoned to you.”—Matt. 23:37, 38.

In Acts Chapter 10, 9 The next day as they were pursuing their journey and were approaching the city, Peter went up to the housetop about the sixth hour to pray. 10 But he became very hungry and wanted to eat. While they were preparing, he fell into a trance 11 and beheld heaven opened and some sort of vessel descending like a great linen sheet being let down by its four extremities upon the earth; 12 and in it there were all sorts of four-footed creatures and creeping things of the earth and birds of heaven. 13 And a voice came to him: “Rise, Peter, slaughter and eat!” 14 But Peter said: “Not at all, Lord, because never have I eaten anything defiled and unclean.” 15 And the voice [spoke] again to him, the second time: “You stop calling defiled the things God has cleansed.” 16 This occurred a third time, and immediately the vessel was taken up into heaven."

Not only does this pertain to food but this symbolically shows, that God has cleansed the gentile nations and the good news is to be taught them also.

Answer 6

I suggest a little more study and that you get to know Jesus a little better.


John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Acts 9:15
But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel

Acts 10:45
The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

# Acts 11:18
When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, "So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life."

Acts 13:47
For this is what the Lord has commanded us: " 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' "

Romans 1:5
Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

Romans 3:29
Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,

. . . YES, the Gentiles (all non jews) TOO!!

Answer 7

Prior to the Resurrection, the wall of hostility (Ephesians 2:14) still stood. Jesus came as the Messiah and heir to the throne of David. Jesus graciously responds only after it was clear that the woman had no presumption of deserving the blessing promised to Israel; rather, she hoped to benefit from the overflow of those blessings. Read on through vs. 28 and you will see that she received the grace of God and her daughter was healed because of her FAITH, not because she deserved or merited it.

The Romans 16:17 referrence throws me because Paul is writing to Christians and not to Jews. Revelation 14:3-4 is prophecy yet fulfilled and is God's final dealings with the Jews which is the completion of the prophecy in Daniel 9:24-28.

John 10 is Jesus once again emphasizing that He is the Messiah and the ONLY way to eternal life for ANY who come albeit Jew or Gentile.

Jesus came for the sins of the world not just the Jews. Every human from Adam to now has violated God's Law. You have lied, stolen, blasphemed His name, committed adultery by lusting, murder because of hate and anger in your heart and coveted your neighbors possessions. That makes you a lying, thieving, covetous, blasphemous, murder and adulterer at heart. If you face God in your sins, you will be guilty before Him and His righteous wrath will fall upon you.

But if you surrender to Jesus as Lord and Savior and put your faith and trust in Him for the forgiveness of your sins and repent towards God, you will pass from death to life and the sin debt will be paid by Christ in your place. You will be innocent because of Jesus' sacrifice and not because you believe you are good.

Have you repented? Are you going to heaven when you die? Are you still in your sins? Eternity does not end.

Answer 8

Yes but you can be adopted into the God's people. but Acts 10:10-19 talks about the vision Peter receives from God. Jesus came to save the gentiles to. Act 10:44-48, the gentiles recieve the holy Ghost. the samertian women that jesus talked to was the first nonjew that ever heard the gospel, and Jesus was forbidden tot alk to her, but he ate with tax collectors.

Answer 9

You have some very good answers above.
He was establishing His position as the Messiah to the Jewish people, having been sent by God in fulfillment of their prophecies. He also was fulfilling the covenant He had with Abraham, and we have also entered into that covenant, becoming adopted as children of God.

Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise.

Answer 10

he came to seve the jews so they can be an example to the rest of the world. remember the jews are the chosen ones to be the ones who can teach the world, but the bible also says who ever believes in him will have everasting life John 3 vs 16

Answer 11

When Jesus said that, he was actually talking to Santa Claus, so you can read into it that he just didn't like Santa because he's fat and had been boning the tooth fairy, and so he wanted Santa to think that only Jews and people whose name begins with F would be saved.

Also, what Burkha Babe said above, spot on.
