No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation.

Pretty sure this means never..
how is it that Ruth is in Christ's geneaology?

the Moabitess, the mother of Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of David.

His mercy endures for a thousand generations :)

Guess there must be a differentiation between man and woman.
Honorifics might help.

Now that it is an interesting topic to open for discussion.

Though there is something that might help.
Wasn't it our Lord who said love your enemies?
Is it so difficult to love our enemies in turning down a bribe.
Or loving out enemies in teaching them to Bless the Lord and bless eachother in speaking Life..

Or should I take up a mantle of deceit and ignore Yeshua and the disciples simple intruction to abstain from an enemies ways?

There is a distinction between neighbor, and enemy.
And Ruth is an exemplar woman of moral character.
Her Choice to Love God with all her heart and submit to her husband reminds me of someone I would love to hear more about in this forum.

Blessings Always
