Should I be concerned about my Jewish/Papist ancestry?

[Faith_Machine]

I already know what some of you think about the fact that the church I attend is ostensibly Lutheran, but now I have something else I feel I should be up-front about:

My mother's mother was an Irish Catholic. More troubling, perhaps, is the fact that her father, my beloved grandfather, was a Jew.

Rest assured I was not raised in either tradition. In fact, my mother was adamant about not allowing me to be circumcised when I was born. So, although Jewish blood is clearly coursing through my veins, and I am racially and ethnically Jewish, I certainly don't hold Jewish religious beliefs, other than the ones which Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did not declare to be null and void.

So, should I be concerned? Is it possible I might still be culpable in the many misdeeds of the Pharisees, not the least of which was nailing our Lord to a cross?

Not at all. There is no shame in being a Jew, regardless of what some here might say.

The important thing to keep in mind is that we are YHWH's chosen people, as the Torah clearly illustrates. The Christians here will twist their bible at every opportunity to exclude us, but scripture is scripture, and Jews are the preferred people. Rest assured.

Shalom

It's a distinct possibility. The beloved Ten Commandments of Christianity tell us that you could be still cursed for your grandfather not accepting the one true God instead of that awful jooish phoney.

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

The bad news is, God hates race mixing.

The good news is, through Him all things are possible. Once you tithe robustly to His favorite church and ask Him (on bended knee) to wash your sins away with His sweet blood, you will be perfected like us.
