Jesus said he didn't come except to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. He showed mercy to the Gentiles but wasn't sent for us.
When Jesus sent out the Apostles (Matthew 20:5) he told them not to go to the Gentiles.
go to the JEWS "First". was it not foretold in the tanakh, that the Gentiles are to be preached to? lets see, Isaiah 42:1 "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him:
he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles."
and, Isaiah 42:6 "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;" AND WHAT DID PAUL THE APOSTLE OF THE LORD JESUS SAY? Acts 13:46 "Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles." Acts 13:47 "
For so hath the Lord commanded us,
saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth."Acts 13:48 "And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed."
well it seems Mrs Rachel Redux, you're in ERROR here.
Now the harder news...
both Jesus and John said the Law is not done away with.
Jesus said that he did not come to destroy the Law or the prophets and the Law will stand until heaven and earth pass away. He said that whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Is that you?)
NO, not ME... LOL, LOL, LOL, ...

YIKES!.... (smile). listen, Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law
through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." SO, HOW DO WE CHRISTIANS ESTABLISH THE LAW? BY DOING WHAT GOD SAY, listen, Micah 6:8 "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good;
and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
the LAW of God is FAITH, and without it, you cannot please God.
so Mrs.. Rachel Redux, you're in ERROR again,
now as for as the LAW being abolish..... for christians yes, listen, 1 Timothy 1:9 "
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,"
1 Timothy 1:10 "
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"
Understand, our, (the Christians, RIGHTEOUSNESS is in Jesus the Christ), and the Law, which is not abolish FOR "SINNERS", will be JUDGE by the LAW, listen,
Romans 2:5 "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself
wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;" Romans 2:6 "
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:" LISTEN! Romans 2:7 "To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality,
eternal life:" Romans 2:8 "But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath," Romans 2:9 "Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;" (READ THAT AGAIN). Romans 2:10 "
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:"(READ THAT AGAIN ALSO).
Romans 2:11 "For there is no respect of persons with God."
Romans 2:12 "
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law:
and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;" (THAT MEANS YOU, WHICH NO ONE KEPT... (SMILE). UH o!.
Romans 2:13 "(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified."
Romans 2:14 "F
or when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:" HELLO, HELLO, HELLO....
Romans 2:15 "
Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)" bingo
SEE, THE LAW IS FOR ... Y.O.U. . .... LOL, LOL, LOL, NOT ME. see, when one teach false doctrine, you will meet the law, so who is the LAW made For? listen, 1 Timothy 1:9 "
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers," LISTEN CLOSLEY, 1 Timothy 1:10 "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons,
and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;" well tha tgot you, and any other believing Jew or Gentile trying to keep the Law..... LOL. Oh my.
so Mrs.. Rachel Redux, you're in ERROR again,
"And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected." (1 John 2:3-6)
well that again got many Jews and Gentiles alike, for many reject the NT scriptures, which means they REject ... "GOD".
Jesus also railed against the Pharisees and called them broods of vipers and whitewashed tombs.
The Jews broke their covenant.
The Temple was destroyed.
So we can't obey all the Law the way God told us to. We're living in a period of grace, waiting for our Messiah to return and put the new covenant into full force.
understand the Mosic Law was ADDED, again, it was ADDED, to show us our sins. for by the the law is the KNOWLEDGE of "Sin". Romans 3:20 "Therefore by
the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
as I have been saying and will say, Micah 6:8 "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
understand the the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God
WITHOUT the law, again without the law is manifested in HIM... JESUS the Christ, God himself in Flesh. Romans 3:21 "But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;"
witness by the Law, Deuteronomy 18:15 "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me;
unto him ye shall hearken;". fulfilment, John 1:45 "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." and just one more, Acts 3:19 "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"Acts 3:20 "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:"Acts 3:21 "Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began."Acts 3:22 "For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you."Acts 3:23 "And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people."Acts 3:24 "Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days."Acts 3:25 "Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed."Acts 3:26 "Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities."
thanks for the reply.....
