So brother Paul is my salvation? What about the rest, only for the Jews?
The whole Bible is a love letter from God to us...
Moses was God's spokesman to the Jews.
Paul was God's spokesman to the Gentiles.
Abraham was not a Jew...
He is the father of all Jews, there were no Jews before Abraham, so what's your point?
Point is the Jews are only two tribes of Israel. Where is the rest?
Abraham - not a Jew
Moses - not a Jew
Aaron - not a Jew
Jacob - not a Jew
Isaac - not a Jew
Ephraim - not a Jew
Moses was not a JewBut Moses was not a Jew.
And this is true
For he was Hebrew
Moses was not a Jew
And this is true
For he was Hebrew
Love this... and a Levi
Just like we can be Canadian, American, South African and be Hebrews.
Also not entirely true. Go and look at vision he had. The gentiles were unclean... not the Jews
Notice I used the term "Abraham and his descendants"? What is your point in trying to split hairs here?
Peter had a one off incident where the Holy Spirit made him go to Cornelius. It was for a good reason, so that he could defend Paul in Acts 15.
But Galatians 2:9 made it clear he restricted his ministry to the Jews.
But Moses was not a Jew.
Even if I grant you that point, you don't agree Moses was God's spokesman to the Jews?
I am not "spliting hairs". If the Moses only spoke to the Jews, who spoke to the other 10 tribes?
He was the spokesman to all Israel, including the descendants of other nations that was also present at Sinai
Not only Israel was present at Sinai.
And God hath set some in the church, first, apostles...APOSTLES [Plural] (1 Corinthians 12:28).
He didn't say; And God hath set some in church, first, Paul the apostle.
Why would it be the first time?
Shouldn't we have heard about this in the Bible?
But you will not hear about it in the Bible. A false teacher has to come along with fair speeches and enticing words that appeal to our carnal mind to hear about. Not to mention with fancy colorful charts and arrows that appeal to the eyes.
Moses was not a JewLove this... and a Levi
Just like we can be Canadian, American, South African and be Hebrews.
And this is true
For he was Hebrew
And a Levite too
Paul was also a Jew, a Benjaminite
A pharisee descended from pharisees
Some may have thought him wound tight
For the cause of Christ he did gloriously fight
As apostle to the gentiles he dedicated his life
