So...

A Rabbi, a Priest and an Atheist all show up at the pearly gates at the same time. Peter calls out first to the Rabbi....



I forgot the rest of the joke. Sorry!

I didn't read through 4 pages but wanted to answer you - No, they are still Gods chosen. Most rejected Him. The tribulation is very much Jewish by design.

A Jew comes to his Rabbi.
And said, “Rabbi, hear my lament. I had a son, my only son, and he was a good son. Best student at the university. Was about to become a great doctor at Jerusalem Hospital. What does this nudnik? Falls in love with a goy and converts to the Catholic faith! What should I do?”
The Rabbi said, “Oh how could I help you? You see, my son, my only son, he was such a good son. The best Talmud student was about to become a rabbi like me. Travels to Europe just once, talks to a priest, and now he wants to become a catholic priest! Let’s pray, maybe the Lord knows a solution.”
And they prayed. And indeed, the Lord came to them.
“Lord!”, they said, “hear our lament.”
“Oh how could I help you?”, the Lord said, “You see, my son, my only son…”

A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him.
The rabbi told him he wouldn’t know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he’d stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do.
The rabbi comes, and he and the priest are in the confessional. After a few minutes, a woman enters and says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”
The priest asks, “What did you do?”.
The woman says, “I committed adultery.”
The Priest asked, “How many times?”
The Woman answered, “Three times.”
The Priest says, “Say two Hail Mary’s, put $5 in the box, and go and sin no more.”
A few minutes later a man enters the confessional.
He says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”
The Priest asks, “What did you do?”
The man replies, “I committed adultery.”
Priest asks, “How many times?”
The man replies, “Three times.”
Priest says, “Say two Hail Mary’s put $5 in the box, and go and sin no more.”
The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he’s got it, so the priest leaves.
A few minutes later another woman enters and says, “Father forgive me for I have sinned.”
Rabbi asks, “What did you do?”
The woman replies, “I committed adultery.”
Rabbi asks, “How many times?”
The woman replies, “Once.”
Rabbi says, “Go do it two more times. We have a special this week, three for $5.”

Keith, that last one gets better every time I hear it. LOL

Let me expand on this .
Jesus told the woman at the well, a Samaritan. Salvation is of the jews. This does not mean that only Jews are saved or that no Gentiles are saved.it meant they were chosen as a vessel to the Masiah.
Jesus Christ fulfilled this. The jews weren't replaced, many rejected there Messiah that they were chosen for.
Jesus died for all, this was so we may live. Not everyone will exept this loving gift.

The messiah has come, so how can the jews of today be chosen to bring in the messiah wich has already come and set up his kingdom.

But the gentiles (Romans) are equally at blame, that is the genius behind the collaboration; we all killed Christ.

The messiah has come, so how can the jews of today be chosen to bring in the messiah wich has already come and set up his kingdom.

Messiah has come agreed. Jews were and still are His chosen. Their eyes have been "shut" intentionally by God - do I understand it fully - nope, I take scripture. Hence, why tribulation well be geared at Jews.........there will be a time when Jews eyes "open"

Belief of Gentiles as Jesus as Messiah will provoke jealousy among Jews - consider that - are you and I living to provoke jealousy to His Chosen nation - the Jews. Do we profess Jesus as Lord and Savior of not only gentiles but also Jews?

Jesus told the woman at the well, a Samaritan. Salvation is of the jews. This does not mean that only Jews are saved or that no Gentiles are saved.it meant they were chosen as a vessel to the Masiah.


Salvation is of the Jews. Not sure what this means. I understand your line of thought and agree but also consider that Jesus was a Jew and through His life, death, resurrection - He provided salvation for all. Hence my thinking of what Salvation is of the Jews means to me.

No Gentile laid down his life for me - He was clearly a Jew that thank the Lord they (Jews) rejected. My question has always been - what if the Jews had not rejected Christ as Messiah - wonder what the plan for gentiles would have been. Thank the Lord - I am not the planner......

Who are the guest at the marriage supper of the Lamb ?

Interesting thread Wasn't Peter who denied Christ and Paul who persecuted Christians both roman citizens kinda deniability factor there amongst the masses

I dont believe God rejects anyone, I believe its the other way. And I haven't read in the Bible where God closes the eyes of anyone so that they can't find him. God gives us free will to make our choice and choices have consequences.

I think some of u should spend more time studying the Bible instead of listening to pastors that are always trying to put a new spin on the Scriptures to make themselves look smarter.
It is our sin that put Christ on the cross. Yours and mine.

Amen

(Hence, why tribulation will be geared at Jews.)
TreedaBlackdog what tribulation are you speaking of.
Are you speaking of Matthew 24: 21

…. Never trust anyone that doesn’t eat bacon

If there was no bacon, that would be great tribulation like the world has never seen!!
