["Men of Israel,]

Dito post but I had to bring it over here too.



Blind for a time and a purpose. The jews were blind for a reason. We are the reason. But follow me to Acts where I can clearly show you the blinders must come off.


 11Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed. 12So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
    17"Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,[a] 21whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 22For Moses truly said to the fathers, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you. 23And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.' 24Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold[c] these days. 25You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'[d] 26To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities."

Acts 3:11-26 (New King James Version)
Vearse 17 and 18 are very important. It says you were blind and I understand, but now you must see.

[all the house of Israel]

How can I say AMEN in each language?

Follow me to a place where it is evident that jews are suppose to open up their eyes. Yes they were blinded, but when Jesus left, the word went forth and many jews believed.

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"
Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."
And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation." Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles."

Acts 2:36-43 (New King James Version)

I am working on my demo and getting songs together to make a c.d. for the city of Philadelphia, hoping to make a huge change in lost lives.
Pray for me!

you win!! Bronze you win.
GOD has forsed the jews to reject HIM so they don't have free will. They are made to turn away and then they will bemade to love him and accept HIM. And the ones that die without accepting HIM right now just get to get in because believing in Jesus today does not apply to them. They can die right now without HIM yet still get in. Wow, it's funny because GOD is still saving people left and right but they have to be blind through it all. But what about the jews that have accepted JESUS, did GOD unblind them and blind a bunch of the other jews? So when Jesus came He didn't come for the jews, he only came for us. Because you are telling me that no matter if they die right now with or without Jesus they are gonna rise and be caught up . How could Jesus just come for the gentiles when we all needed a saviour?  They were blind but they have a choise today! And some jews have chosen Jesus.

I just don't anyone to think that just because their mom and dad were jewish that they need not except Jesus right now while they are living and breathing. Now is the time!!!!!!!

By the way gary, how long were you dead each time?

Yo, If you have been dead twice and came back to life you got more resurrections than Jesus. Wooooooooooooooo

Apparent Failure of the promises to ISRAEL explained by their unbelief

Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to GOD for them is for their salvation.
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for GOD, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about GODs righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of GOD. For CHRIST is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Quote"I did see any question in your last post. I did see some rather suggestive headings posted above a couple of verses.
such as this one...

Apparent Failure of the promises to ISRAEL explained by their unbelief
 

What's that heading sugesting? That God's promise was a failure?

Look, Lisa, my sister - The verse you posted under that heading is Romans 10:1-4"


1 Question Bronze. What kind of Bible are you reading? I'm not being sarcastic, I'm really asking you. I use a few but mostly The New King James. The heading for Romans 10:1-4 was taken from the bible and not my own words. So that leads me to believe your lack of understanding in the bible.
The same heading in different translations:

Israel Needs the Gospel, Salvation Is Open to All

Apparent failure of the promises to Israel explained by their unbelief

Isreals Unbelief

Romans 11:20-21 (New King James Version)
 
20Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

If God did not spare the natural branches...
what does that say?
P.s. why would I respond to the other post when all of my answers are here. Besides I have no issues with trusting GOD.
The jews that die with out Christ today will see hell. Because the only souls that will be rising from the dead (at the appointed time) will be THE DEAD IN CHRIST.

yes ,got bit by a copper head ,been dead 2 times .pretty much everything ,then more .like GODS new rest and the rivers of living water .many things and miracles in my life .I think maybe the LORD had to reveal more to me ,yet HE WANTS others to know these things are for them .My boy had died and my mother .I prayed for both and different times .They both came back .I was dead before the new birtrh and once after the new birth .I saw NEW JERUSALEM heading toward earth in 1976 .I never entered the city ,but saw it from outside it .had I entered ?I may not have wanted to return here .Have mixed feeling now .Thinking I should of stayed .But have 2 more kids since that death .

Where are your smiley faces. Please tell me you are joking right?

Can you see Paul killing Christians for a living and then becoming a Christian?
Can you see a man beside Jesus on the cross dieing as a result of his sinful life style getting in at the last min.?
The point is you are not GOD so you won't see a persons heart.
Now does this mean a person can do what ever and live how ever and still be saved? Well the bible says be transformed by the renewing of your mind. And it says don't decieve yourself in thinking you are saved when you are not. So two persons know. You and GOD.
now if one is saved you should see fruit . But I don't say just because this person did that they can't be saved. I'm not in that posision.

Quote:
"3Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. "


JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS LORD JESUS IS GOD JESUS IS LORD GOD .
tHE BIBLE ALSO SAYS NO ONE CAN SAY JESUS IS LORD EXCEPT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

STUDY BIBLES ARE VERY HANDY WHEN YOU CAN INTERPRET SCRIPTURES FOR YOUR SELF. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THEM TO ALL THAT ARE  IN THE DARK CONCERNING THESE THINGS.

Quote"The JEWS were "blinded" so that the GENTILES could see The Light. God keeps reinforcing this Lisa. "

Bronze the word WERE seems to be past tence in this statement. I know you can not believe that GOD is today putting the blinders on the jews that are being born today.
Salvation has come to us. You are saying GOD is still blinding His people? Okay? So?

You posted
"Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
The Jews will be grafted back in.  "

There is a very important key word in this scipture that you must have ignored completly. Now you posted this verse yet have you any understanding of it?
The key word here is IF. If the abide not still in unbelief, shall be... If means IF. They have a choise. GOD does not have the blinders on anyone today! GOD is not forsing anyone not to see HIM in 2005. Can you come to date with me? God wanted everyone to see that body of water swallow up all of those people. That caused many to wake up I'm sure.
Anyway I wonder what your study Bible has to say on these vearses.
I have the New King James Version Study Bible. I don't know if that is one of your choise, but it is very good.

In reference to these vearse (Romans 11:26)
"And so: That is, "in this way, in the process just described."
 ALL ISRAEL does not mean that every jewish person who has ever lived will be saved, for Paul does not teach that (see 10:2,3). The term must be understood in the same sence as "the fullness of the Gentiles" Paul is therefore speaking in a collective sence."

A very good study Bible is truely helpfull in trying to understand what scriptures mean.

The word of GOD is awesome!!!

Who knows where this scriptures is found and what it means?

bRONZE YOU ARE LIKE NO HELP AT ALL TO ME BECAUSE YOU ONLY GIVE ME WHAT YOU WANT . IVE SAID OK YOU SAY THIS, BUT CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THESE SCRIPTURES AND WHAT THEY MEAN?

So why have you left me hanging? I posted these scriptures more that twice and I'm just asking that you break them down for me like you've done with the others, yet again you just by past.
Like you keep posting the book of Genn. but you won't help me with the scriptures I'm asking you to to explain.

WHY? I'm not gonna post them again so could you just scroll up to see the last post? As far as the rapture, I believe it to be exactly like you said. My words are hard to explain sometimes. I guess thats why everyone was thinking I said Judaism was a cult when thats not what I said. So this is what I'm saying. When the funk hits the fan and the dead IN CHRIST shall rise, rapture, 2nd coming of CHRIST. We might be dead before all this takes place is what I'm saying. We are not promised tomorrow. So when the Saints are being Raptured, we might be risen and not raptured. I noticed when you broke this down I didn't see the jews being risen or raptured. So the dead jews that didn't die in CHRIST just get a favortism ticket in? Thats not what I read in the Holy Bible.
Although I'm not a jew that does not make me not chosen. Thats my name (Mrs. Chosen). GOD chose me too thats why I serve HIM. He does not love them any more than us gentiles.
GOD loves us equally. So they better die believing Jesus or they will see hell and GOD did promise that.

Jesus said IAM the way the truth and the life. No man (jews are men/woman) comes through the Father except by me.
I'm not talking about in the end. I'm talking about that jew who just died today without Christianity but in judaism.
He died today, and when the dead in Christ shall rise, that wont be him.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the Christians that are teachable and that are intrested in seeing how GOD is doing new things to save the people he loves.

You didn't address your post that way, so how was I to assume I wasn't supposed to answer?

And for the record I hate all rap, but I love Gopel Rap.

Does anyone else find this confusing?

Alot of Christians are walking around with their eyes shut and not witnessing to the people GOD put in their paths to witness to.

And Christian rap is supposed to be the only way to do that?

READ MORE, POST LESS.
Who ever said this was the only way? Have you read anything I've posted or are you just responding to the question?
The difference from Rap and Gospel rap is that one talks about the world and the other( Gospel Rap) talks and teaches about the GOSPEL.
Now if you don't like the teachings of the Gospel then thats between you and GOD.
