The post below was pasted in what I thought was Bible discussion. I am pasting it here in order to share with as many as possible. God bless all amen...
Re: Presbyterian/Baptist War
Most are going to disagree with this pronouncement on denominations, and this is normal for most in this age.
No named denomination will concur with another simply by virtue of the fact they need to name themselves in order to distinguish them from other named denominations.
This is why I hear Jesus on the matter always, whom I also like to call Yeshua..
We are become children of Abrahan, and our faith is the faith of Abraham. This is not a denomination unless someone comes along and makes one up calling it by this reality, not a title.
Now if you keep in mind Abraham means "Honored Father of Peoples (nations)" you may possibly understand this teaching more profoundly.........
Those who disagree will disagree while those who understand will know.
All blessing in Jesus Christ, amen.
I did not know the Presbyterians and the Baptists were having a war,and who is winning,and why do we not see it in the news.I'm sure the Catholics would like to join in and show them who is the toughest of all the denominations.
1Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
And so it is today.I am of the Pope,and I of John Calvin,and I of Martin Luther,and I of Joseph Smith,and I of Alice Bailey,and I of Ellen White,and I of Charles Russell,and I of this person,and I of that person.
Abraham is the father of many nations,for he was the one called that started the whole thing of Israel and salvation.
Contrary to what some people believe the Church does not replace Israel,for Israel is the Church.
God said in the Old Testament that Israel shall not cease as a nation.
God said that when Israel as a nation rebels against God,which would be by way of them following false gods,and false religious ways,that anytime they cry out to God in the truth,even in the latter days,which would be now,He will hear from heaven,and work with them as He did in the past.
Paul said God has not cast away His people He once foreknew,and they are blinded in part until salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,and so all Israel shall be saved.
I am the LORD,I change not,therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed.
God said He would make a covenant with Israel that is an everlasting covenant,which both Old and New covenants were given to Israel.
The disciples asked Jesus if He would restore the kingdom on earth to them at that time,and He said the Father will do it in His own time,but be concerned with preaching the Gospel.
God said after Israel has borne their shame for their sins and iniquities against Him,which would be by way of Israel as a nation not accepting Jesus then He will bring the whole house of Israel out of the nations,and will not leave them in the nations anymore,and He will not hide His face from them again,and they will know the LORD their God from that point and forward.
This will happen when the man of sin,New Age Christ,establishes peace in the Middle East,and it will pave the way for all Jews to go to Israel,and the Jews and the Gentiles will be separated,for he wants them all in one place to deceive them and go against them,but God has it for the good of the Jews to restore the kingdom to them,and Israel is protected for the 7 years period that God is causing all people that do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom,and when they do the fulness of the Gentiles will be come in,and God will then turn Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah,which the world will then attack the Christians for three and one half years,while the Jews are coming to the truth,and then those that remain will be gathered unto Christ,and then they will attack Jerusalem,the Jews,and then Jesus will come back with His saints and defeat the world,and save Israel,for all Israel shall be saved,and the kingdom restored to Israel,which God said He will make a full end of all Gentile nations,their operating governments,but not make a full end of Israel,though they will not be wholly unpunished.
Jesus said salvation is of the Jews,and when a Gentile is saved they become a Jew inward,and part of the commonwealth of Israel.
It is always about Israel,and God said He never rejected them as being a nation,or His people,but they went through trouble because of their rejection of Christ as a nation,for the nation must turn to Jesus,but God always brings Israel to the truth when she went astray,and He will do it again,and restore the kingdom to them and be like the old days when no enemy could prosper against them when they abided in the truth,but this time it will be better for there is no war for Israel is always the on top,and there will be peace at that time.
Abraham is the father of many nations,for it is all about Israel,from the time of Abraham all the way to the New Jerusalem,which the 12 tribes of Israel,and the 12 apostles of the Lamb are written in the New Jerusalem.
Abraham called by God that led to Jacob,Israel,and the nation of Israel,Old Testament given to them,New Testament given to them,the kingdom on earth is to always be their kingdom,the only operating kingdom in the millennial reign of Christ,and the New Jerusalem given to them.
If people think the Church replaces Israel,then why when a Gentile gets saved they become a Jew inward,and part of the commonwealth of Israel,and Jesus said salvation is of the Jews.
They say the Church replaces Israel,but when they are saved they are part of the commonwealth of Israel.
Why would they part of the commonwealth of Israel if the Church replaces Israel.
That is because it is always about Israel for God called them,and always will be with them,for it is Israel all the way.
God did not cast off His people because Israel as a nation did not accept Christ,for He will correct them and restore them as He always does,and God said He always has Jews that follow Him in the truth,as in the case of when Israel was following Baal,but God said He has 7000 Jews that would not bow down the knee to Baal,and so it is today.
God gave the Old Testament to Israel and they had no choice but to comply with it,and God said He winked at the ways of the Gentiles,which they will be judged by their belief in a higher power who loves people,for He provided food,and the means to make clothing,and shelter,and covers the two greatest commandments love God,and love people,which is the universal law,and the 2 greatest commandments of the Bible,which all the prophets and law hang on those 2 laws,and judged by their conscience.
Creation testifies of the 2 greatest commandments so they are without excuse.
The New Testament is given to Israel,but God now commands all people of the world to repent,and accept the New Testament,and they have no choice but to comply with it.
But when they are saved they are part of the commonwealth of Israel,not part of a Church that replaces Israel,or is above Israel,or has no part with Israel.
Everybody should be looking at Israel as their homeland,and Jerusalem as its capital where God placed His name.
Forget the nation you were born in for it is Israel that is your home,and we are strangers passing through the land seeking a better home,one that God provided for us.
