Ah, so now you use “woman” as an insult as if I am beneath you or under you. Newsflash: I am a co-heir with all Christian men who are saved. Every man who is truly saved understands this.
I gave you the thumbs down because I disliked/disagreed with most of what you said. I am absolute blown away by how you are behaving towards me because I simply disliked your post. I seem to remember I explained to you why I disagreed with you and disliked your post, but instead of refuting me with scripture you are insulting me as a woman of God.
Whose the “classic” one, you say?
Well that's good.......
Well that's good.......
In the mean time I'm debating with myself if I want to jump in here or not.......
this has gone SO FAR off track from the OP.
Now If I read everything the past few pages correctly and remember correctly (which is questionable seeing as how it's almost 1am and I'm half awake") but it seems to me as if a few words were misread or misunderstood and exploded into a silly squabble
I tell my kids that sometimes the best thing to do to end disagreement (even if you're right) is to just shut your mouth and walk away (of course, then when hubs and I get into disagreements I have to work hard to practice what is preached) but I have also found that to be true in forums as well; sometimes it's just best not to reply

oh dear no! Please don't do that to me......You are 100% correct! (I'm on my knees giving the humourous up and down worship wave). lol
but seriously, this thread has a serious topic and should try to get back to it.
The Jewish people were never punished by God for the crucifixion of Jesus.

FAQ: How can it possibly be that God would cause an event whose collateral
damage led to the deaths of all those other people too besides the Jews?
A: We're not saying God engineered the Holocaust. All we're saying is: He
stood by and did nothing to prevent a number of His own people being taken
in it. In other words: the essential thing that Moses' people brought upon
themselves was the loss of God's providence. I think God took advantage of
Hitler's agenda as an opportunity; viz: a convenient means of throwing His
people to the wolves like He did in the Old Testament with Nebuchadnezzar.
NOTE: It's not all that unusual for Christians to lose out on God's providence
too; and thus end up in hot water themselves.
• 1John 1:6 . . If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in
the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

I believe that it has something to do with “free will”. We live in a fallen world filled with sinful men who are corrupted even more with wealth and power. I don’t believe God has anything to do with “allowing” or “not allowing” most (if not all) of the things that humans CHOOSE to do. He may influence people and lead His people by The Holy Spirit, but ultimately God gives mankind the free will to choose what they will do. God did not create us to be robots. However, I believe that God can work ALL things, good AND bad, for His Good. I also want to point out the fact that God did NOT promise us a life without hardship. In fact, He told those who love Him and follow Him that they would face persecution and death for His name.
As for “The Chosen” people’s “popularity with God”….I believe too many people place Jewish people on a pedestal as if they are better or more favored than Gentiles. Of course He loves them and wants to redeem them, but God is also not willing that ANY should perish. Jesus died for ALL nations, not just the Jews.
A Jewish person isn’t saved just because of their ancestry. If a Jewish person doesn’t accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, they will experience the second death just like any Gentile would. Putting Jewish people on a pedestal as “God’s Chosen” gives a false sense of security about their eternal future with God. Unfortunately, the majority of Jewish people REJECT Jesus. Remember when Jesus told the Jewish Pharisees that their father was not Abraham, but Satan, because they rejected and hated Jesus? If their father wasn’t Abraham, then they weren’t part of Israel. God is fulfilling His promise to Abraham through Jesus by grafting those who are saved into Israel to multiply Abraham’s descendants to be as numerous as the stars.
You can belittle us "mere men" all you like. I could care less.
If you are feeling insulted, I’m not sure why because my intent was never to insult you, or to even “correct” you. I simply wanted to share my belief, point blank.
I'm not insulted. I looked at the "reactions" that you offer and you're at a 46% ratio of posts to negative Red X's. I don't take you seriously at all. You obviously have an alternate account, considering how you navigate through this site as effectively as you do. So again, I feel neutral about you in relation to me and my psychology. Now, causing issue with others . . . that's a bit different. Nonetheless, whatever issues you choose to create from here on out . . . God is in control. He doesn't need me for one thing; not one thing at all.
I'm tired. So . . . may the Lord grant you with the most amazing of Blessings! (I mean it.)
Though I have made a few attempts, several actually, I could not have put this into better words. Thank you.
It is written in Revelation, when Jesus Yeshua returns He is going to destroy the destroyers,. It seems those destroyers a= have all com out of hiding, being even blatant. God bless you.
