TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 63

In our last few presentations here we have been discussing themes found in the ministry and epistles of Paul of Tarsus which help to establish that the nations to whom he had brought the gospel were indeed the same nations which had descended from the ancient children of Israel. So we have already discussed the substance of Paul’s Commission from Christ, how Paul himself had applied his commission, the subjects of Biblical redemption and what Paul had meant by the phrase strangers from the covenants. Now we shall continue with the subject of adoption, as that word, as it appears in English Bibles, is only found in Paul’s epistles, and it has a very specific application.

83) The Adoption of Israel

Just as the denominational churches try to extend the redemption which Yahweh had explictly promised to the children of Israel to other races and nations, they do that same thing with this concept of adoption. However the word only appears in Paul’s epistles, three times in Romans, and once each in Galatians and Ephesians, and Paul himself states explicitly that the adoption is for Israel, in relation to Israelites who are his own kinsmen “according to the flesh”. There is not a single statement in Scripture which suggests that the adoption of which Paul had spoken could possibly be attained by anyone who is not of his flesh, who could somehow imagine that he may magically become an Israelite.

In our last presentation we continued our discussions of themes found in the epistles of Paul of Tarsus with the Scope of the Covenant and the Family of the Faith, as they certainly do consist of the White European nations to whom he had brought the gospel of Christ. Now we shall continue with a discussion of the word church, and what is the true church as it is described by Scripture and in the definitions of the word used which has traditionally been translated as church. A church certainly is not a collection of mere believers congregating in some building. That is actually something which is better described by the word synagogue, rather than church.

87) What is the Church?

Portions of this presentation are taken from an essay at Christogenea which is titled Misconceptions Concerning Paul and the Church.

Here we are not going to digress at length on what a Christian church is not, except to mention that priests, in the sense of an officer of a church organization, are not found in Christian writings until the 4th century AD. In the New Testament, every man is a priest of God in the sense that he serves God by loving his brethren and keeping the commandments. But once Christianity began to be accepted by Rome, a new class of Christian priests developed, and pagan temples began to be converted for use into church buildings. Once the emperor Justinian created the office of pope, eventually nuns, orders of monasteries, a college of cardinals, and a hierarchical, centralized organization which conducted or supervised the ordination of priests and bishops all developed. While many of these institutions were useful or helpful in medieval society, and did things which are useful to us today, none of them are necessarily Biblical or required by Christianity. They are actually antichristian in several ways, because they set up authorities over men which the Scriptures do not advocate or support, and in some cases even refute or condemn.

In recent presentations in this series we hope to have answered the questions, What is the Church?, and What is a Saint?, from a proper Biblical perspective: that the Church is the collective of the children of Israel in the world, that a church is properly a gathering or community of those same people as Christians, and furthermore, that those same people are also the Saints, regardless of whether they profess to be Christians. Saints are not something which a pope designates: saints are the people whom Yahweh God has already separated, or distinguished, from all of the world’s other peoples. Then, since Christ and His apostles had used these terms in relation to White Europeans, we see that the ancient Israelites must have been White, because it was in the Old Testament that both the Church and the Saints were designated by Yahweh God, and Christ was the embodiment of promises made to them which are found throughout the words of the Prophets.

89) The words of the Prophets

Here I may have researched statistics on how many times the prophets were cited in the New Testament, which is well into the hundreds, but instead I chose to focus on illustrating a handful of significant examples.

While some of the books of the sixteen prophets found in our Bibles are rather concise and deal with limited subject matter, others are quite expansive and prophecy things which had occurred over many centuries. In their own right, David and Solomon were also prophets, as were Moses and Samuel. But here we shall deal mainly with the later prophets, those who wrote in the period of the divided kingdom. Generally, nearly all of those prophets treat a common theme: that the children of Israel would be punished and put away by Yahweh their God for their disobedience, and that at a later time they would be reconciled to their God through a promised Messiah and a promised new covenant.

TruthVid's 100 Proofs that the Israelites were White, Part 69

In our last presentation of these 100 Proofs, we endeavored to show that there are certain men whom Yahweh God could not have cleansed, and whom He had never intended to cleanse because, as it is prophesied in the Old Testament, He only intended to cleanse the children of Israel of their sins. So for that same reason, in the presentation preceding that we had discussed what Yahweh God had cleansed on the cross of Christ, which must have been the children of Israel whom He had explicitly promised to cleanse in the words of the prophets. So if God had only cleansed certain men, and only men of Israel as He had promised, it must be evident that there were men who were not cleansed by Him, and as we argued here last week, it is for that reason that Judas was not clean, and that Paul of Tarsus spoke of “disgusting and wicked men” who were never candidates for conversion to Christianity but against whom Paul had prayed for protection. Furthermore, of such men are the unclean whom Paul had told his readers to come out from among, particularly in 2 Corinthians chapter 6, where he was paraphrasing the words of the prophet Isaiah. Since the Scripture describes the cleansing of men with the blood of the Lamb, that will be the subject of our next discussion.

93) The Blood of the Lamb

An allegorical description of the crucifixion of Christ as the blood of a lamb is found in 1 Peter chapter 1, where we read: “18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” When Peter wrote those words, he was addressing Christians of the Roman provinces of Anatolia, having described them as sojourners, where he also informed them that they were elect “according to the foreknowledge of God.” Then he encouraged them, that upon their trials they could look forward to “9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.”
