Dear Brothers and Sisters in
IAUA
(ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 26th day of the 4th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6014 Anno Mundi. It is 9 weeks until the Fall Sabbaths begin with Trumpets Sabbath on the evening of the 1st day of the 7th month (Friday, September 10 on the 2010 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Thursday, September 9th). This year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination will be one month later than my research has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the Jewish Calendar are one day earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall. _____ A recent email exchange I believe you will find interesting to review. This is an offshoot of the newsletter on Genealogical Discrepancy. It is coincidental (?) it follows the newsletter on Toleration. _____ A newsletter reader forwarded an email with a comment: Romans 11 is to the average Christian what Isaiah 53 is to the Average Jew. The average Jew hates and tries to ignore the plain meaning of Isaiah 53 and the average anti-Judaic Christian hates and tries to ignore the plain meaning of Romans 11. To understand how God views the non-believing Jewish people we need to read and understand Romans 11. XXX wrote: ----- it looks like even this person is anti-semitic, The Jews were Gods chosen people, untill they chose not to be any more! "The world is not improving. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. By rejecting the Son of God, the personification of the only true God, who possessed goodness, mercy, and untiring love, whose heart was ever touched with human woe, and choosing a murderer in his stead, the Jews showed what human nature can and will do when the restraining power of the Spirit of God is removed, and men are under the control of the apostate. Those who choose Satan as their ruler will reveal the spirit of their chosen master." {RH, January 30, 1900 par. 6} _____ I replied: I have to say I am confused by these emails. Is XXX saying EGW is anti-Semitic based on what he quoted? (I don't communicate with XXX anymore because he is so belligerent.) What is your understanding of what Paul says in Romans 11? _____ They responded: Yes... XXX is saying that EGW is anti-Semitic. Rom 11 is saying what it is saying. Jews that do not believe in messiah are still Jews and are not to be boasted against as most Christians like to do. _____ I replied: I hope you don't mind my attempting to draw you into a discussion on this subject. I was very interested in your introduction of the subject. I believe this is a valuable subject to consider. I referenced the definition of some words to make sure I am clear on the subject. anti-Semite: a person who discriminates against or is prejudiced or hostile toward Jews. prejudice:
1. an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without
knowledge, thought, or reason. Do you agree with the characterization of EGW as anti-Semitic? Do you think it is anti-Semitic to acknowledge the Jewish leaders and followers were under the influence of Satan in rejecting and crucifying the Messiah? I agree completely it is improper to boast against Jews though the specific meaning of those words is a little uncertain. I agree with the statement: "The Jews were Gods chosen people, until they chose not to be any more!" Abraham had a special relationship with God and for this reason all the future children of Abraham had a special relationship which was strengthened when they followed His will and weakened when they didn't. This relationship ended with the rejection of His son. The words of Matthew 21 speak to this subject and specifically the words of the Messiah. Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. I believe there is a justified displeasure of Jews who are anti-non-Semitic and boast against Christians by claiming a special place for themselves. God chooses for all His children to become His chosen by choosing to respond to Him and follow His guidance for our lives by obedience to all His laws for us. Those who respond to His choosing us become reborn by the blood, water, and fire (Spirit) into a new nation, the kingdom of God. _____ They responded: According to Paul the "non-believing" Jew still, even after his rejection of Yahushua, stands in an advantaged position compared to all non-Jewish Christians who were raised not speaking Hebrew and who never celebrated a single holy day (except for Paganized, counterfeit holidays) until well into their adult life. (this would include most all SDA feast keeping people, most of which love to "boast against the branches" every chance they get). It is saddening that many SDA's are still in the habit of boasting against this advantaged people. The end of this boasting will only result in cursing themselves beyound comprehension. For further understanding of the curses determined upon such people that boast against the branches simply read Deut 28.
Romans 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin. Romans 11:28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes. (AKA Abraham, Issac and Jacob) Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance."
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; So we see from the above texts that there is absolutely no room for non-Jewish "wild olive" trees to "boast against" the non-believing Jew who is, according to Paul, "advantaged in EVERY way". A very high percentage per capita of the greatest minds in today's world are Jewish. They are talented in all areas of professional life. Such a small percentage of the earth's population and yet they are great and renowned teachers, scientists, doctors, bankers, artists, Nobel peace prize winners. We see a very small fraction of the earth population is Jewish and yet year after year a very large percentage of the Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded to Jews. So, Any honest student of Scripture can plainly see that the non-believing Jews of today are still God's chosen people. To claim otherwise is to go against the plainest reading of Scripture. _____ At the risk of being "cursed", "dishonest", and unable to understand "plain", I must make some observations. Neither success nor advantage is any measure of a knowledge of or relationship with God. Participation in the "kingdom of God" is not granted by race. An upcoming newsletter will speak more about the "kingdom of God". Consider these verses and their context. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? II John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Do you believe you have a special relationship to God when you are not willing to do what He says? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
