    i have actually a question instead of a comment.

    Do Jews believe in the New Testament? If answer is No, why not?

    The words Jew and Gentile can be confusing and when studying we must closely examine the context to make sure their meaning is clear. Due to centuries of mass indoctrination, in the minds of most people, the world is now divided into two groups of people - the Jews and everyone else, as if the Jews constitute the entirety of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.

    Gentile, the original words goy and ethnos refer to "peoples" or "nations" and are applied to both Israelites and non-Israelites in the Bible. It is derived from the Latin word gentilis, which means one who is not a Roman citizen. What's unique, by its meaning a single person can not be called a gentile.

    Jew, the term "Jew" did not even appear until the southern kingdom of Judah was taken captive of Babylon. Jew is an abbreviated slang term for Judahite, a resident of the southern kingdom of Judah.

    If you refer to those in the Judaism Abrahamic ethnic religion they do not accept Jesus as the Messiah who came 2000 years ago. The New Testament is not relevant to them.

    But the Jew pronounced in Romans 2: 28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Those Jews do cherish the New Testament.

  • Part One TIMES OF THE GENTILES - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 2 years ago
    Luke Chapter 21

    22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

    23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

    24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until THE TIMES of the Gentiles BE FULFILLED.

    25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

    There are other scriptures that back up what I'm going to say, concerning spiritual blindness and spiritual deafness. Not all prophesy has been fulfilled: concerning what happens at the very end. Such as, the Jews driven out of Israel from past wars, ARE RETURNING TO ISRAEL. When Jews live there, the Land Prospers. It's cultivated, water returns, homes are built for the returning Jews.

    The World responds in fierce anger. More lethal than Hitlers misery. Read Stan Telchin's testimony. Our World demands a 2-state solution. OUR GOD has the deed to that land recorded in the Bible. Not negotiable, not ever!! GENESIS 17: 4-8. Stay focused on The Land.

    World leaders and all Palestinian nations dispute that DEED. Ishmael was a son but his mother was Hagar. Gods Covenant is to Isaac whose mother was Sarah. Middle East tradition traditions is that Jewish children are the religion of their mothers. Israel's children are raised Jewish. Palestinian children are the religion of their Fathers; Ishmael. They are raised Muslim/Islamic.

    Jesus instituted the New Covenant: the old Covenant with better promises. That's when Time Started Ticking for the Gentiles. Jesus wants all believers to be grafted into the one True Vine: Jesus.

    I have to write a part 2 comment, so look for it a little later. Take a look at the verses above.

    Mishael
