Who is a Jew?

and you think you can prove this? Then have no fear, bash away. I have popcorn at the ready!

And in good form, I am sure you have heard him say that former Jews, now called Christians, are members of his church and have gone to bat for him before.....more than once. Please, do continue. This is so intriguing. I m utterly captivated!

video 1:
claims jews will go to hell but the defense is Romans 11

video 2:
said Jesus was the real birth name when Jesus is a Jew. it's even prophesied in the minor prophets He would be named Yeshua. but anderson claims that is the Hebrew Roots Movement. it's His real Aramaic Name. no one called Him Jesus. there are no letter [J] in the Hebrew so how could they call Him Jesus?

video 3:
said textus receptus was original Greek when it was not created until the 12th Century.
PLUS
Jerome used the Codex Sinaiticus in 350 AD, 1,000 year BEFORE the textus receptus for the Latin Vulgate.



are his Church Members really this stupid?

Please continue. greesy fingers here.

that's enough!

every claim he made there's a defense that can be used against him. those are the immediate ones from each video.

And you think your defense, as he will be the prosecutor, which means the burden of proof lies in your court, (but you know that, right?) is substantial because what I see is circumstantial, and mere opinions. But proceed.

Oh. I must say I overlooked the "that's enough". If that is the end, I think I have enough for a good prosecution. Care to add anything else? Anything?

We'll be talking soon, and your friend kaylagrl. Do have a pleasant evening.

since 2 of the 3 can be factually proven and the 3rd from Romans is enough to raise question, there's not much else needed to be added to prove he doesn't tell complete truths.

i'll add another. he uses Leviticus to kill homosexuals. we are Gentiles. the Law was only given to the inheritance of Abraham, not to the Jews. so the dude is off his rocker.

He cannot accept it, his bias won't allow him to. That is why he gets emotional and angry when you won't agree with him.

I don't think that the Jews were rejected because of their sin. Their rejection was simply because they failed to believe in Jesus.

Romans 11:20
Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith.

But they can be restored. And the end of that chapter says that they will. God is faithful to His promises! Good news!

Hi KG. I hope you are well. Thank you for raising this concern.

Jesus gave us an analogy of what Israel looks like...a vine with branches. He is the Vine, we are the branches. Paul in his letter to the church in Rome picks up on this with a slight variation, presenting an analogy of Israel being something like a tree or a bush, that has a root with attached branches.

In either place, we can see that branches can be added by God, or torn off and discarded, according to His kindness and will.

Paul mentions that God hasn't discarded all of the physical descendents of Abraham, but that He will always keep a remnant aside and they will be saved. Paul mentions himself as a case in point.

Paul also mentions he hopes to save some of the physical Israel, so that they will become members of the remnant that is attached to the Root (Vine), and be saved because of their faith in Jesus, thus continuing Abraham's spiritual lineage and fulfilling God's promise to him. By saying he hopes to save some, and that there's a remnant, Paul acknowledges that not all of Abraham's physical/biological descendents will be saved.

In the end, it will be all the branches that are attached to the Root, ie the new and true Israel of God, whatever their racial background or personal standing in society is, that will be saved, and the rest of humankind, no matter what their racial background or personal standing in society is, will be lost forever. So yes, all of that structure, the Root/Vine and its branches, which comprise the true Israel, will be saved.

It is written that Abraham is the father of faith. Therefore it is the seed of that faith, present in the members of the remnant of Israel, that identifies them as being his true progeny. It is these progeny, along with the adoptees such as we gentiles, that are proof of God's promise to Abraham that he will be the father of a great nation.

As a side issue here, there is a warning embedded in this chapter of Paul's letter that should cause those that believe 'once saved always saved' to rethink their opinion, and change it.

The man, and I don't use that as a term of respect, tricked Jewish rabbis to be involved in a film he was making. He asked them some questions and when the film came out he was bashing them and mocking them. He's a liar, a trickster and a false teacher. Period.

So, I've only been able to skim through a few posts here, but I see that Steven Anderson's name has come up.

I'll say this much with certainty;

He is a sick, sick man.

Anybody who sees him as a man of God needs a lot of help.

Who is a Jew? Jewish status through the mother not the father. A Jew started from one of the sons of Jacob. A Jew is from the members of Judah which is one of the tribes of Israel. After the death of Solomon Jews were split into two kingdoms Kingdom Israel and Kingdom of Judah. After the death of Jesus and rising from the dead. To be a Jew it is one inwardly, circumcised of the heart in spirit.
