Where is this said?
Because I Tim 1:4 says to avoid them.
King Nebuchadnezzar wasn't an Israelite and yet he professed God at the end of his life. King Naaman wasn't an Israelite and he was healed of his leprosy in the river Jordan by God. Rahab wasn't an Israelite and yet she is in the lineage of our Lord. Ruth was a Moabite and also in the lineage of our Lord.
God doesn't care about ancestry and nor shall I. Because it is unchangeable to a person like the color of their skin. God only cares about the hearts of people.
As for Hebrews God is saying what I am saying. Everyone everywhere can come to God and submit to Him. No more boundaries, no temples, no washings.
I understand and it is pretty normal to be accused of this. We are not trying to figure it out to that degree. However we are looking because true Israel has some responsibilities! We are shown several times where the people made a point to exclude those who had no heritage. The amount of words taken in scripture just to show Christ's lineage is important. He had to be able to show kinship because of the Law of the Kinsman Redeemer. Redemption is only for Israel. I just don't talk about the others because that is all the churches talk about. I don't teach that others can't be saved. By the way, Ruth was an Israelite. It helps to know the history of the land of Moab. There were no Moabites living there at the time of Ruth. The land retained its name just as the land of Canaan. The land belonged to Israel at that time. Do you know about the Marriage, Divorce and Remarriage of God to Israel? You will find no 13th gate in Revelation labeled, "everyone else". What people do is to spiritualize the bible. They do this because they look at the bible and try to make it fit the world. The key to understanding God is to make the world fit the bible. Use bible word definitions. I have a list. Always watch for context. You can't believe what you have told me if context has been carefully observed. Isaiah 51:1-2. The modern day Jews are not God's Israel people.
She wasn't, she was a Moabite. They had their own people and their own gods. Ruth 1:15.
I know. That's clear. The Church is God's people. The rest of what you said sounds like something I would get from the history channel on who are God's chosen people.
It is an interesting story on Ruth. The land of Moab was taken away from Moab by two kings of the Ammorites. Sihon king of Heshbon and by Og king of Bashan. Yahweh God gave the land they possessed to Israel. This land then became the home to the two and a half tribes of Israel. That is Gad, Reuben and the half tribe of Manasseh. The land retained its name, the Land of Moab, just like the land of Canaan. You will find the explanation for this in Deuteronomy 2:24 through 3:22. See also Numbers 21:26. It was about 250 years later that Ruth was born. She was born to parents who were of one of the three tribes of Israel who had opted for an inheritance on the East side of Jordan. She grew up knowing that she was from the land called the Land of Moab. Being separated from the rest of Israel she did not know she was an Israelite. The book of Jasher shows that the tribes East of Jordan had made a commitment to not forget their God or His Law. Through the times of the judges it is not really a surprise to find they did not remember. There is more. By the way, scripture says that in the end times, Israel would not know they are Israel. That is one of the over 100 prophecies and promises for true Israel.
I do appreciate the specific use of only scripture so thank you for doing that. In regards to Moab, they didn't take all the land of Moab at that time. Deuteronomy 2:9 and 19 talks of land that God told them not to disturb for he had given it to the descendants of Lot. (Moabites and Ammonites). They most assuredly conquered the land from King Sihon and King Og however the Israelites didn't disobey God and raze the cities in the land he just told them not to touch.
I get this a lot too. "I don't think God would do thus and thus. I don't care. I just look at what the scripture says. Hebrews is addressed to the Hebrews. James is addressed to the 12 Tribes. The whole bible is addressed to Israel. The fact that you are so concerned about others kind of proves you must be an Israelite. It is in our hearts to care for others. Grats.
Well, I'm saying I believe exactly what scripture says. God did not give them the land in which He has set out for Lots descendants which were the Moabites and the Ammonites. Yes King Sihon and Og took some of their land and that land was taken by Israel however there still was land left untouched by those two kings since Israel took all that those two kings had and divided it amongst the 2.5 tribes.
Scripture has to make sense and this is the only outcome that makes sense. Otherwise, God didn't keep land for Lot's descendants or Israel disobeyed God. And the former cannot happen because God keeps His promises and if it were the latter there would have been severe consequence for conquering land which God told them not to.
2nd response for fun. It could be that you enjoy this? It seems few Christians know about Logical Equivalent Statements called Contrapositives. God is the master of logic.
The two following statements are equivalent. They say exactly the same thing. However feelings seem to be more important than truth in today's churches.
Galatians 3:29 "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
"If ye be not Abraham's seed, or not heirs according to the promise, then ye are not Christ's."
Do you understand this? The new testament has many statements just like this where the true meaning has been lost from God's intended meaning to become politically correct.
We had a college professor who put 1 Timothy 3:12 on an exam. One had to write the logical equivalent statement. Very interesting.
It now makes sense, that you are coming from a university with all of this.
I will say it again. To the Jew first and also to the Greek. Lineage means nothing.
I am not in a University. I read and study the Hebrew and Greek text. In the Hebrew and Greek there is unity of faith and doctrine.
