Pentecost: A Turning Point For The Jewish People

The Holy Spirit Authored the Scripture and every word He used is on purpose and for a reason.
God says what He means, and God means what He says.
GINOLJC, to all.
if so, then post the scripture where God the Spirit said, Abram was a HEBREW, he dose not, so don't put words in God mouth. NOW God did say this, Genesis 17:1 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect." Genesis 17:2 "And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly." Genesis 17:3 "And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying," Genesis 17:4 "As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations."
NOW LISTEN REAL GOOD, Genesis 17:5 "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee." Genesis 17:6 "And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."

now God just told us who Abram was and now is. Read Genesis 17:4 and 5 again.

STOP, God said Abram, and that name is no more, for God, God, God, said his NAME shall now be ABRAHAM, and God made him a father of MANY NATIONS. and do you KNOW what "Nations" means, it is the Hebrew term

Abraham is the father of MANY NATIONS, did you see definition #2. (hence) a Gentile
Abraham is GENTILE
, did you get this?

now lets go to school,
ABRAM is so called by some man as a HEBREW.

ABRAHAM is Called by God the father of MANY NATIONS, which Nations here are GENTILE.

see the difference, ABRAM, ABRAHAM. now if you still want to go with ABRAM, then you're at a DEAD END, and in a DEAD COVENANT. for ABRAM, so called by men is NO MORE. and that name Abram is a DEAD END NAME, meaning .... CUT OFF. we suggest you and all your so called, Jews/Hebrews/Israelites', or what ever you want to call yourselves, come to the LIGHT/TRUTH. for in CHRIST "JESUS" there is neither Gentile, nor so called Jews/Hebrews/Israelites, or any Messianic Jews. listen, 1 Corinthians 12:13 "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." why? Galatians 3:27 "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Galatians 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." Galatians 3:29 "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." who seed? Abram or Abraham. ........ (smile),

we all are "ONE" in Christ Jesus by the the ONE ETERNAL SPIRIT. so, the term Messianic Jews is nothing, if in Christ Jesus. 101G can only give you a suggestion, Messianic Christians maybe? ..... (smile), :p:D YIKES!

conclusion, that Genesis 14:13 verse you're banking on is obsolete for any Hebrews, just as the Name "Abram" is obsolete. the father of MANY.... NATIONS... UINCLUDING U Hebrews is ABRAHAM. so we suggest if you and your brothers want to be in the NEW COVENANT OF PROMISE, we suggest you drop your OLD way of being IGNORANT in being Abram offspring, and be ABRAHAM offspring, who is the father .... ACCORDING to GOD ALMIGHTY, the father of MANY NATIONS/GENTILES.... by FAITH....... (smile), Oh boy .... so that old way of thinking is OVER. Galatians 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." one can stay in Abram /man way or come to God in ABRAHAM in FAITH, in Spirit and TRUTH.

The Holy Spirit who Authored the Law, Psalms, and the Prophets identifies Abram as coming from the family of Eber:

13 And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; Gen. 14:13.

And the term "nations" which is the word that merely means "masses" (as in people) didn't mean "Gentile" at this time for it says, "nations" (goyim) shall come "out of thee" and if at this time in Abraham's life it means "Gentile" then tell me HOW a "Gentile" child or people can come from two Hebrew parents (Abraham and Sarah)? It was later that "goyim" came to define a "Gentile" (non-Hebrew), but that came later for again, HOW does a "non-Hebrew Gentile" come from two Hebrew parents (Abraham and Sarah)? Answer: it doesn't. It only referred to Abraham's seed through Ishmael and his twelve sons, and from Esau, Isaac's other son and twin of Jacob.

Gentiles do not "come out of thee" (Abraham.) So, your identification of Abraham's seed falls short. These are not non-Hebrew Gentiles.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Gen. 17:6.

Non-Hebrew "Gentiles" were already in existence, and they are the seed of Ham and Japheth.

But you do not get a non-Hebrew Gentile when both parents are Hebrew as Abraham and Sarah were.

Try again.

first, your BIG mistake. God, the LORD JESUS said Abraham, and not Abram is the Father of many NATIONS. and if ABRAHAM was Hebrew.... lol, then there are MANY HEBREW NATION. and the fact is no, not many, so no, he's not HEBREW, (ABRAHAM). 101G believes God and not man, who is IGNORANT 7 times...... (smile).... :oops: YIKES!.

now get the verse before .... Listen and Learn. Genesis 17:5 "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee." (READ THAT AGAIN). Genesis 17:6 "And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee."

so, you can get that IGNORANCE OUT OF HERE. if Abraham was HEBREW, then there would be ... "MANY" ..... Hebrew NATIONS, and it's not so your IGNORANCE is exposed.

and also, where does it say God called Sarah a HEBREW? not even Sarai is called a Hebrew before her name was changed. and just as with Abram, and you say Sarai was Hebrew, well then where are the MANY NATIONS that are HEBREW? book Chapter and verse please. see, you walk after the FLESH, and the flesh profit you NOTHING. you are still walking after the flesh.

Sarah was Abraham's niece. This means that Abraham's father and Sarah's father were brothers and both of them were born from the family of Eber.

26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Genesis 11:26.


27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. Genesis 11:27–32.
 
Sarah was Abraham's niece. This means that Abraham's father and Sarah's father were brothers and both of them were born from the family of Eber.
give book chapter and verse to her being his niece....... (smile) cain't wait for that.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Genesis 11:26.
Let's see what the bible say. Genesis 20:10 "And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? 11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake. 12 And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife”. if one would notice, Abraham clearly states that Sarah is his wife, (see verse 11 above). but then he makes another statement that have cause many to try in justify Abraham in what he said about his wife next. this is what many try to justify, 12 “And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife”. let’s look closely at what Abraham really said, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

there are six possible scenarios to these scriptures,
A. Abraham natural biological father had a biological daughter, (Sarah), outside of his marriage, or before he was married to Abraham mother, or afterward, or,
B. Abraham natural biological father had more than one wife, or
C. Abraham natural biological mother had died, and his natural biological father remarried, and fathered another child, (Sarah), or
D. Abraham natural biological father, after his first wife died or was divorce, married again, to a woman who already had a child, (Sarai). by marriage, she (Sarai) was now Abram sister and as Abram said, she (now, Sarai, his sister by marriage became) his wife. or
E. Abraham natural biological father adopted a daughter as his own. by adoption she is Abram sister and later became his wife. or
F. Abraham natural biological father adopted another family member child. (as you said), and the child parents either died, or was not able to provide for the child.

to make any of these scenarios fit, it must be by the avenue of 1. Law, (marriage, with or without sex, or by adoption) 2. nature, (biological, with or without marriage and sex). we undertook the understanding of D, which eliminated, the incest, and the lying. But there are a couple of other scenarios that could work. But we are going with D because of two other things what Abram said, 12a “And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother”. Clearly Sarai is not Abram sister by Abram mother, so she has a different biological mother from Abram. But indeed, she is my sister as Abram stated, but how, and what way he is she, his sister? 1. By marriage, or 2. By adoption. To understand this statement that Abram made we must go and find similar language in the bible so that what Abram said can be understood. 1Corinthians 5:1? which gave 101G the answer to ABRAHAM supposed Incest to his sister Sarah. Let’s understand, 1 Cor 5:1 first and then we can understand Abraham & Sarah. “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife”. In understanding what happen here in the language of a family involvement of a father, son, and a wife, but not a mother, we then can understand Abram and his family scenario with Sarai his wife. The young man here in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians hadn't married his father's wife, that’s not what Paul wrote. The young man has his father's wife. In other words, he is sleeping with his step mother - not his actual biological mother. If he had been sleeping with his biological mother Paul would have said so. This would have been a far graver offence. Nor does Paul indicate that the young man was sleeping with his father's widow. The father is still alive, a fact confirmed by his second epistle: “So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the injured party”. from this example, and language alike, we then can understand the language in Abraham dilemma. here is the answer. Abraham natural biological father had married another woman who had a daughter, (in this case Sarai). The key phase is this “but not the daughter of my mother”. Now I don’t know if Abraham biological mother had died, or was divorced by his biological father, either way Sarah, became the daughter of Abram father, by marriage, hence his sister. With this scenario in mind, (1 Cor 5:1), the language indicates neither Abraham nor Sarah was biological related, only legally, by their current parents’ marriage, hence NO INCEST. The relationship of sister and brother came by his biological father marrying another woman, (not Abraham biological mother). This woman, who already had a child from a previous marriage, or is not the mother of Sarai.

Now, to throw a monkey wrench into the mix, but for further clarification. Was not Sarai Terah daughter but also his daughter in law? Scripture, Genesis 11:31 "And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there”. Question, how can Sarai be Terah daughter but also his daughter in law at the same time? the answer is in the scripture, and the word H3618 כַּלָּה kallah (kal-law').
1. a bride (as if perfect).
2. (hence) a son's wife.
[from H3634]
KJV: bride, daughter-in-law, spouse.

And the word for a biological daughter is H1323 בַּת bath (bath) n-f.
1. a daughter.
2. a fair town, fair village.
{used in the same wide sense as other terms of relationship, literally and figuratively}
[from H1129 (as feminine of H1121)]

we clearly see that Sarai is not Terah biological daughter, so Sarai must be Terah daughter by marriage, for the same verse tells us so. Genesis 11:31a "And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife. Looking at the definitions above, a kallah is a son’s wife who is called a daughter in law, as so stated in verse 31a above.

example, is Naomi calling Ruth her daughter in law as well as her daughter. Ruth 2:22 "And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field”. even Boaz called Ruth daughter, 2:8 "Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens. but Abraham clearly said, “she is the daughter of my father. This clearly sets the title of daughter in law in perspective, so she must be Terah daughter by marriage, and not by nature.

so, you can drop that Abraham's niece NONESENSE.

Ruth 2:22 "And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field”. even Boaz called Ruth daughter, 2:8 "Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens. but Abraham clearly said, “she is the daughter of my father. This clearly sets the title of daughter in law in perspective, so she must be Terah daughter by marriage, and not by nature.

so, you can drop that Abraham's niece NONESENSE.

Sarai was Abram's niece. Both were from the family line of Eber.
 
My error.

Abraham and Sarah were half-brother and half-sister, not uncle and niece.
not problem my brother, for we all are brothers in Christ Jesus. and we all are in fleshly bodies, we all, yes Especially 101G still makes mistakes and ERRORS, for none of us are God, but yet, we all are still learning.

Thank you in Christ. stay blessed. in much GL.
