Christian Identity & British Israelism and the varied doctrine

[Rose of Shushan]

Quote:Rose, do you know what a false dilemna is? It is when a person is only given 2 choices but there are actually more. The bible see's more categories than Israelite and non-Israelite. The bible says nothing more than he was a Roman. There were Israelite Romans and non-Israelite Romans. I answered your question by referencing the bible which tells us ONLY that he was a Roman. Don't fault me for refusing to speculate.

If he had been an Israelite then there would have been no need for the Vision to be able to clear the way for Peter to eat at Cornelius house or for Spirit to reassure Peter to go with the men.

Quote:Rose, Jesus called non-Israelites 'dogs', yet you are offended that I don't focus upon them when I read about the 'new covenant'. When I think about the new covenant, I focus on those who the bible says were to be the recipients of it (non-Isralites are not specifically mentioned). I think if I were to call them 'dogs' you could accuse me of 'thinking lesser' of them, but simply not thinking about them at all, is hardly 'thinking lesser'.

Jesus wasn't calling the Syrophoenician woman a dog but was using an analogy to make the point.Since she was not an Israelite and thus "an alien to the covenants of promise" she was not thus entitled to the children's food.The children being the children of Israel.

Mar 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
Note Jesus says let the children first be filled.This ties in with what Paul said about to the jew first then the gentile.Since jews were the one in a covenant with God and heirs to the promises it is only fittingg that their Redeemer should come to them first.However since God promised that His Servant would also be a light to the gentiles and salvation to the ends of the earth it makes sense that after the children were filled( ie Messiah is revealed unto them) that the bread could then be fed to the dogs.Its an analogy and nothing derogatory is meant by the term dogs.Could have been pet rabbits or whatever other non human members of the household.

Quote:Lets go back to the bible, which says [Jer 31:31-33] "Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people"

This is the only verse in the OT that directly speaks of the 'new covenant'. The NT book written to the Israelites, says the same thing in [Heb 8:8].

Jeremiah speaks of a new covenant to both Israel and Judah because they are the ones that were in a covenant with God at the time of Jeremiah.The nations / gentiles were not.So how could God promise them a new one if they weren't in the old.
Yet if we look at all the OT we do see where God plans for all peoples and nations to eventually know Him and Jesus.
