The Gospel Alone is the Power of God

-
This gospel message (the Power of God), is the ability of God to cut the heart with the message of Jesus Christ having risen as Savior, from the dead. This gospel affirmed by this blog is now specifically focused on Jewish people and many races that have Jewish DNA, and many Mediterranean and Latino people who have Jewish ancestry and don't know it, per the prophesy in Romans 11 spoken of by Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ.

Historically, most races and nations could have DNA of ancient Hebrews or current Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews in pockets of their populations, because of sailing, wars, close proximity, silk road, etc.

Ancient Hebrew (Gedrosian admixture testing, Gedmatch) and post Christ Jewish DNA could be found almost anywhere. And this DNA could be washed out, for some, who are actual descendants of Jacob! So, this blog is not shutting out the possibility that many have descent from Jacob from places like Africa, the Arab middle east, and India, China, Russia, etc as th…

Summary of Crucial Christian Doctrine

-
This list of crucial Christian doctrine is not every crucial doctrine but is enough to separate the believer from the false churches. Flee all cults that seek to control your lives as well, fellow believers!

1. The gospel cuts the hearts of the pre-chosen, which is the spiritual circumcision. This is the only true repentance as the power turns men and women to Christ, showing them their unbelief in a painful, but blessed way. This regeneration (a true rebirth) precedes true repentance and faith. (Acts 11:18). The gospel message is the good news of Christ's death and resurrection for the elect. The gospel saves without the need for preparation. (Acts 2, Romans 1:16-17).

2. No preparatory work of law is required. The gospel is all powerful. The Protestants and Catholic chief theologian Augustine all greatly erred, losing their souls, by preaching a watered down gospel of mandatory law preparation, which was no gospel at all! (Galatians ch 1.)

3. God has predestined the elect who are c…

My Christian View of Israel's Purpose

-
As a Christian, I have a world view concerning the nation of Israel, from a biblical perspective. I first want to say that I view Christian Zionism as not being Christian at all. Israel has a purpose but it is not what the Christian Zionists think.

Israel's existence heralds the end of time.Israel's existence is not for the reestablishment of the old covenant. If Christ is the perfect sacrifice, there is no need for another temple or the reestablishment of the Levitical priesthood.

Israel's existence is a mixed blessing. I believe that while it is God's will that Israel exist to the end of time, it has none of the spiritual status of the Old Covenant. Christ's covenant is in force now. There is no need for another Zion.

My DNA connects me to Israel, and to Jews in many places. That is why I say it is a mixed blessing. Christ basically prophesied in Luke 21:24 that the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled once the fig tree was established again. The elect Gentiles wi…
