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.
The Ammonites did not respect that when they took all the land from Moab. Israel then took the land from Ammorites and kept it. Moab was living elsewhere. Anyway you are correct. I decided a long time ago to go with scripture over church doctrine. Doesn't make me very popular when I tell people what the Greek actually says for a given verse. It is the world that is upside down not the Kingdom of God. Very few will have enough oil when the bridegroom returns. Same bride as before.
