THE TEACHING 4 ( JEWS AND GENTILES VS CHRIST)
Shalom shalom, let today, we will talk on gentiles and Jews much more extensively and based on the scriptures.
Rom.1.16 - I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Here we notice that there are two groups of people in need of the gospel as mentioned by Paul the Apostle, namely; Gentiles and Jews
Gal.2.8 - For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles.
Gal.2.7 - But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Now, Paul was an apostle to the Gentiles, while Peter was an apostle to the Jews. One will notice that the content of their messages to each group was technically different, but Christ was the center and finality.
There was a message that was proper to the circumcision, while there was another, proper to the Gentiles. It will be good to know here that these two groups are groups which are not yet in Christ. So Paul is to preach that message for those that aren't in Christ yet. That is their access door to salvation. But once people from these two groups become born again, their appelation changes (2chr7:14, who are called by my name)
Gal.3.28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal.3.29 - And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
There are actually jews and gentiles, but not in Christ! Paul is not our apostle, he is the apostle of those that are not yet born again. Christ is our Apostle (Heb6:1-3). Any message that spoke of the law of Moses was not for gentiles. I will explain!
Rom.4.15 - Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Rom.2.12 - God will punish the Gentiles when they sin, even though they never had God's written law. And he will punish the Jews when they sin, for they do have the law.
Rom.2.14 - Even when Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, instinctively follow what the law says, they show that in their hearts they know right from wrong.
The law was given to Moses for the jews, not Gentiles. were there is no law, there is no sin (transgression). So, Gentiles weren't sinners by the law of Moses, Since they were not under that law but were sinners by the conscience and Adamic Nature. Gentiles were not delivered from the law of moses. A cameroonian in Cameroon is not under Nigerian law.
1Cor.3.4 - When one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another says, "I prefer Apollos," aren't you acting like those who are not Christians?
1Cor.3.21 - So don't take pride in following a particular leader. Everything belongs to you:
Now, because of Hyper grace, we preach Paul because he's an apostle to the gentiles, but we are to preach Christ! if we say we are of Paul, then the Epistles of Peter, John, and the rest are not for ours, because they weren't sent to us. But we are come to mount Zion, the Church of the first born! If we see ourselves as gentiles, then we are not part of Christ.
If we say we are gentiles and have Paul as our apostle, then we aren't yet in Christ and are not yet part of the Commonwealth of Israel. Last time, I said Christ delivered people from the law of moses, not Gentiles, but gentiles that are now part of Israel. That's is why the circumsized wanted the gentile converts to live according to the law of Moses because since they gained citizenship, they now had to be freed from those regulations, not before!
Gen.29.26 - And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
This is not the law of Moses and if you are of this country, you can impose the freedom of the cross to such laws but you are not free from such because you are now in Christ. That is why we break altars. You are born again, but you are not delivered from the law system of bride's price of your village. Shalom, any question as usual, comment!
