Re: Um..... Thanks I suppose.

And which specific ethnicity do you suppose YHWH was speaking to in this verse? Here's a hint; it was not a group of fools that entertain the ridiculous notion of the huckster "Jesus". That still await his return 2000 years later.

Indeed, we are the chosen of YHWH.

Shalom

The LORD chose the Jews, who then turned their backs on Him and crucified Him (Matthew 27:22). Today it pleases the LORD to give the Kingdom to those who believe (Luke 12:32).

The Holy Bible is written as a whole, not meant to be stripped apart into fragments based on convenience. We are called to be holy through faith, not birth (Leviticus 11:45; 1 Peter 1:16). It's not too late for you yet, dear, repent and accept Jesus as your Messiah.

The obvious problem with such an inane attempt at apologetics for Christianity is found in Isaiah 46:9-10.

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

"Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"

You have two ways to attempt to reconcile this with your post, and they are both equally imbecilic in consideration of the verse.

YHWH essentially made a fool out of Himself by favoring the Jews, knowing full well that they would crucify the Christ (and I do not agree with the premise that my people were responsible).

Or

YHWH changed His mind.

Au contraire, or להפך for you. Not only did the LORD know the Jews would crucify His Only Begotten Son, He gave the Jews fair warning of His coming!

The LORD tells us, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13, emphasis mine). To that end, the LORD revealed over 300 prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures that detail some of the facts about this coming Messiah. For example, the LORD tells us:

Messiah was to be born at Bethlehem: Micah 5:1.
Messiah would be from the tribe of Judah: Genesis 49:10.
Messiah would present himself by riding on an ass: Zechariah 9:9.
Messiah would be tortured to death: Psalm 22:1-31.
Messiah would arrive before the destruction of the Second Temple: Daniel 9:24-27.

That doesn't make God a fool, friend. God knows most people will not accetp His precious gift of Salvation (Matthew 22:14). Jews reject Christ for the same reason anyone else rejects Christ: They do not think they need a savior. Like you, unsaved people consider themselves to be "basically good" and do not realize that they, like all people, are sinners who cannot come to God on their own terms. But the Holy Bible tells us, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6). Those who reject Christ will not be able to stand before God and successfully plead their own case on their own merits.

I pray that you will continue your examination of the evidences of who Jesus really is and His claims to be the Jewish Messiah in fulfillment of Hebrew prophecy. Remember the words of the Messiah, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Revelation 3:20). In words you can understand, Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, is standing at the door of your heart right now! Consider Him! Open the door and allow Him to come into you!

Re: Um..... Thanks I suppose.

I don't believe God would make "lesser races" I believe God loves all of us equally I personally don't care what race, sexual preference, or religious view is if your nice to me ill be nice to you. Are you saying that our Lord would let a white murderer into heaven before little flip because his skin is darker? I don't believe that and I don't understand how he can be held responsible for a decision his parents made before he was even conceived. I'm the child of a rape victim and my mom decided against an abortion does that mean I'm going to hell?

I'm glad that your mum saw you as a gift from God as Godly Rick Santorum tells us. But you say that you don't care about sexual preference: does that mean you advocate paedophilia? After all, that is just a sexual preference.

God bless.

So do you believe Satan created the lesser races?

You sound like a damned racist to me, boy.
