Believe the Bible for the details
For salvation… we believe God’s message in the Bible, right? God came down to earth by being born of a virgin, through the lineage of King David – to be the Perfect Lamb of God as a sacrifice for our sins.
Well then, if you are going to believe Jesus for your salvation, then, follow the logic… you must believe the Bible for the details. Believe God’s details for us living here.
Take a close look at Creator God’s perspective of all things. One detail many folks are overlooking is: The blessing of God on His Chosen People – the Jews.
“I will bless those who bless you”
This promise did not dissipate over the centuries. Not at all!
God is eternal, and He fulfills His promises throughout eternity. Get out of your tiny world perspective and see God’s. The Jews are still His chosen people Romans 11.
Genesis 12:3
And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you,
And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you.
And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”
Deuteronomy 7:6
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His personal possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. *Also said in Deuteronomy 14:2.
___________
Those promises predate Christianity. They were made by God — to the Jews, starting pre-jewish with Abraham, and enduring through the ages to today, 2025.
Jesus has been sent to us, both the Jews and the Gentiles (“Goy”) – Jesus the Messiah “who has been appointed for you” Acts 3:20-21 . If you have accepted “all that Jesus is and does“, then you have been welcomed into the Family of God Ephesians 3:15, made “His children”, and thus made “heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ”.
John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name
Romans 8:17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.
Matthew 25:34
“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
“If you belong to Christ”…spiritual heirs
“If you are in Him”… “then you are Abraham’s descendants”.
Galatians 3:29
And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise.
Christians are “grafted in” to the line of David, becoming “Abraham’s descendants”. If you don’t like that teaching… take it up with Jesus. He was a Jew, and through salvation we become His children. Christians worship a Jew!
About hating Jews
To hate is to be one who “despises, dishonors, has contempt for” Genesis 12:3. We must not hate Jews. They are our brothers and sisters through Jesus.
Antisemitism is rampant these day. And some try to use Scripture to legitimize their hatred.
However: You cannot pick and choose unrelated texts here and there in order to support your hatred for Jews. Totally moronic. Scripture says haters cannot be born again. You can show yourself to be outside the sheepfold, you know – just as many a Charismatic “Christian” has. Scary thought.
If the core of your being
rejects parts and pieces
of what Christ taught,
then you have no salvation.

Have you hated your way out of salvation? It’s clear that “anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God” and just as clear is the rest of the verse 1 John 3:10 which says, “nor the one who does not love his brother and sister”. If you hate Jews – get ready for your special hot seat in Hell, because hating is life changing – eternal life changing.
Believers do not
accept sin in their life
as normal and acceptable
before God.

Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought.
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?
1 John 3:10
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.

The Kingdom of God, in Heaven, has been in the planning since way back… way, way back – “from the foundation of the world”. Matthew 25:34 That is a long time for God to have prepared this “for you”. He loves us that much. And He is still working on it John 3.
John 14:2-3 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]rooms; if that were not so, [b]I would have told you, because
I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be.” *See: Jesus will rescue us soon from the Wrath to come
A lot happened “before the foundation of the world”. A lot!
Salvation makes a difference
On That Day of Judgement, the goats will be carefully culled to the left MerWeb: selected or chosen from a group. The remaining, the sheep of His pastures, will be led to His right.
The other analogy says: the tares, who grew up side by side with the wheat, will be gathered up and burned Matthew 13:40. Then God keeps the wheat. Which do you want to be?
The goats and the tares
In Scripture, the goats and the tares are humans who were never saved from God’s heavenly decree against us (His condemnation of sin). They never accepted Jesus’ offer of salvation.
They are The Whosoever People who miss the turn – the turn to Jesus. They are the unAccepters, the unBelievers, the Rejectors… the “adulterous and sinful generation Mark 8:38.
Heart problem with attitudes
The sheep of His fold, also called wheat, are humans who were careful to listen and heed the Word. They accepted God’s specific salvation parameters to get saved. What about you?
Hearts are incredibly deceptive. Don’t we know it! So we have to guard against attitudes that cause us to reject any specific parameters required by Jesus.
Look at it this way. You…

Can’t be communist and Christian.
Can’t be Hindu and Christian.
Can’t follow Satan and Christ.
Can’t follow the evils of the New Left Democrats – and be following Jesus.
Can’t be a hater of those you see – and love the God whom you have not seen.
Can’t contradict Jesus and be following His Ways.
Each of the sheep of His fold have given-up their things — and accepted all that Jesus is and does. To become saved, we absolutely must get past our unbiblical attitudes and practices. Do you see a parameter you’ve got problems with? Take it to Jesus.
This is not a religious thing (giving Him your all). This is the standard Jesus expressed.
I must give God all of me, not bits and pieces. I cannot live flippantly, blithfully unaware like some yo-yo head – up and down and all “around the world”, going wherever I am thrown (by yet another “doctrine”), totally absorbed by my own interests and thoughts, and giving God “short shrift” MerWeb.

Blessed by forgiveness by the Hand of God our Savior
Acts 3:19-21
19 So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased], so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord [restoring you like a cool wind on a hot day];
20 and that He may send [to you] Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you, 21 whom heaven must keep until the time for the [complete] restoration of all things about which God promised through the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.
Genesis 12:3
“And in you
all the families (nations) of the earth
will be blessed.”
FOR MORE:
The blessing of God on His Chosen People is a promise He will keep. Think He changed His mind? Think again. Think you can freely hate Jews AND keep your salvation? Think again – again.

I’ve been declared free of guilt…Justified. Excerpt: For the guilty criminal standing there guilty before the judge, there are no better words to hear than the judge’s declaration: “Not guilty.” That is what Jesus says to the guilty-as-sin sinner who comes to Him in repentance. Basically Jesus says, “You’ve been set free. Pardoned.”
God forgives all wrongdoings of all repentant sinners, no exception
Staying Alive Excerpt: Faithfulness is a process. We live, we try, we fail, we sin – but the faithful then repent, turn to God again, and move on in faith, believing God that we will be stronger next time. The faithful develop a pattern of an overcoming faith. The pattern we strive towards, each day, is: we live, we conquer, we act by the power of the Holy Spirit. Believers do not accept sin in their life as normal and acceptable before God.

Exposing a Dichotomous Heart Excerpt: What Jesus expects for entry into His Kingdom
The Bible explains what Jesus expects for entry into His Kingdom. Contrary to popular wishin’ and ‘a hopin’ — we don’t pass into oblivion. In God’s creation you don’t get-off scot free Google it. The Bible says there are consequences that come with your choices here on earth.
We really do want to get it right for that day at His Gates. He created all this, so He sets the parameters for entry. So what does God want? What exactly does He expect of us?

Jesus brings us to Creator God Excerpt: Only Jesus was the Son of God
He was sent by the Father to pay God´s price of redemption. Any other attempt to appease Creator God, any other philosophy, any other sacrifice, any other prophet, any other teaching, any other religion — is insufficient and doomed to fail those who put their faith there. Only Jesus was a sufficient enough of a sacrifice to satisfy God´s heavenly courts.
Jesus Only Always For All Times
Time as it really is…He fulfills His promises throughout eternity
