Oddbean new post about login | logout Correct. The only way to God is through Christ. No other way. New Covenant surpassed Old Covenant
One might even call it a "better covenant." Hebrews 7:22 ESV [22] This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.
Jesus was Jewish. No one and nowhere in the Bible does it say otherwise. His Jewishness is never rejected by anyone. Only him being King and the son of God is rejected by some. Why are you trying to argue Jesus wasn’t Jewish with verses that say he was fulfillment of Jewish prophecy? Your choices don’t make sense here
yeah pretty sure this is just pedantry the fact that most Jews didn't accept the new covenant doesn't make Jesus not Jewish.
And to say “non-believers are Jewish” is to say that all of the “12 apostles” are also nonbelievers. These people are insinuating that the Jewish woman Mary Magdalene was a”nonbeliever” because Jesus was her rabbi??? The first person to see the Lord risen from the dead and proclaim it to others is a “nonbeliever” now because she’s Jewish?? Lord help me idek how people get to the point of making such an outrageous claim! “Jewish are nonbelievers” just absurd claim!! I! Can’t! Even!!!!!!
I think their point is basically that since he is the Son of God he transcends his ethnic and cultural heritage. Everyone who believes in Him joins the *new covenant of God but those who don't remain with the old. In this case they remain Jewish or gentile. While those who believe partake of the Eternal. it's pedantic in the end.
They’re being weirdos and they need to read the Bible more!!!! iMO!! Just a suggestion coming from me to them 😤
Sorry that I gave the impression that I agreed with nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuur0wd6x2u3wwpkxzcm99uz2gxag that Unbelievers are Jewish. I do not. Quite the opposite, in fact. ONLY believers are Jewish. Romans 2:28-29 ESV [28] For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. [29] But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
I would not agree with nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuur0wd6x2u3wwpkxzcm99uz2gxag's assertion that unbelievers are Jewish. Rather, I would say that ONLY believers are truly Jewish. And yes, Jesus is a Jew, not t just by ethnic origin, but by faith. Likewise, only Christians are truly Jewish, or part of the People of Israel. Romans 2:28-29 ESV [28] For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. [29] But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God.
Now, if nostr:nprofile1qqsr836yylem9deatcu08ekfj8qj9f2aypq8ydt0w8dyng8zp8akjsqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuur0wd6x2u3wwpkxzcm99uz2gxag is meaning that those who profess to be Jewish, but do not have faith in their Messiah, are unbelievers, I would definitely agree with that. But no, I would not claim Jesus isn't Jewish. He is the promised Messiah, the suffering servant, the son of David and Son of God who will sit on David's throne forevermore. Cannot get much more Jewish than that.
