You definitely misunderstand that the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation is a Jewish book, and that God has made no covenant with Gentiles, but God is saving Gentiles without Covenant.You for instance go right into the temptation with satan to corrupt truth. Everyday you make it a practice of disenfranchising those called of Gentile nations to be Christian. Everyday, you make it a practice of putting scripture against scripture as though the scriptures could implode. You assert that Christ had a sin nature when scripture is clear He is the only one who had no sin.
Taking sin upon your flesh and actually sinning are two different things. Being tempted of satan and not one's own flesh is too a different thing. Temptation is all around in this world. You see this everyday. Women dressed in sultry attire, people with a lot of cash and they throw themselves at you in hopes to lure you. Men of ill repute in the form of politicians tell you they have all the answers and you follow them. Though their folly be apparent people couple up with them. Hence, the spiritual harlotry Rev. 17-18.
Christ was not tempted of His own flesh because He has no sin. He was as scripture states "tempted of the devil". You know that sin of the flesh temptation, everyone does- that thorn, Paul spoke of? It comes in many forms, sexual urges- you may act upon privately, that worldly magizines and psychologists say is ok and even encourage for personal gratification of oneself when those urges arise. The temptation to hate people ( like Gentiles and even for others to hate Jews, looking with lust at a man or woman...etc...... Point is Christ had no such urges. He did however understand them, felt the gravity of them because He was taking sin unto Himself from the moment of His Incarnation. Never, never did He even have a sinful desire. He became as sin for us ( AS) being the operative word. Meaning -the punishment for sin He took (AS) though He were a sinner. Like the lambs of sacrifice and the scape goat put outside of the city by the Jews ritually for atonement, He is the final sacrifice once and for all. He was carrying sin away to the cross all His life.
So,let us not only thank God for the sacrifice the Messiah made, but let us also rejoice in the life He lived. For He showed us how to overcome. By the Words of Life we defeat our advesary and vanquish his fiery darts aimed at us. Those fiery darts are temptation always. They can provoke us to wrath, hate, lust ....etc.....That is temptation.
Greater than that, we learn that Christ was tempted at His weakest moments in the account of Christ being lead into that desert. Hence, what His fasting in desolation of the desert represents. We must obstain from worldly desires.There is a significance to that example. We will all enter into a valley of the shadow of death to various degrees. The fullest degree has already begun and will expand to a greater global tribulation. We will all experience a desert = the lack of faith in the world- the Holy Spirit being only present in the followers of Christ. We may experience hunger, and satan may give us suggestions as to how we may eat, that could be " show us a sign", like we are some road side spectacle or circus act here to give something to swine. We may be asked (at our weakest physical point) to bow down and pay satan homage in order to take part in the kingdoms of the world with all their plenty to eat. We may even be told to throw ourselves off mountains- (kill ourselves) in order to find relief. That is the testimony of Christ in the wilderness- barren waste land of no hope.
When we as Christians enter there He shows us what we must say in response to satan's temptations, who we must rely on.Who will come out on the other side? " These are those who made white their garments through tribulation", this is what is called the renewal of the mind.
That garment that needs to be made white is the mind. That happens through fighting the devil's temptations thrown at you. Knowledge is power! Don't perish- " My people perish for lack of knowledge ". You fight satan through your neurons - firing off knowledge at him.
Without that wrestling you cannot be called Israel! Jacob wrestling with an angel is to show us that our advesary is an angel- a fallen one who is clever and knowledgeable than most men. However, not wiser than the elect. Israel means God Pravails. The greater the faith the brighter the mind and the firing of the neurons.For greater is He who is within you than he who is in the world. Get behind me satan!
You should be grateful if you are saved but there is no covenant in the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets of God EVER making Covenant with Gentiles.
I accept Scripture as written. I don't add to the Bible, nor do I subtract from the Bible, nor do I change words in the Bible or omit words from the Bible NOR am I disobedient to the Bible.
I AM A BIBLICAL CHRISTIAN.
That's the ONLY kind there is in existence.
If one's Christianity is not Biblical, then it is NOT Christianity.
I accept what Peter and Jude said about the angels that sinned, that they are ALL locked up awaiting judgment. You reject this word and believe Lucifer, or Satan, or Devil are loose on the planet doing whatever they can to upset God's will on the planet. I don't. Locked up means locked up.
There is NO experience within Israel's history of devils and demons and Satan the way the Gentile Church has through the centuries have developed this false doctrine of "the devil made me do it" and Satan this and Satan that, and if there is no precedent in the Old Testament then there is no New Testament reality. Devil is sometimes an adjective. How can you change it into a noun and pronoun. Satan has been used of human adversaries. Christ called Peter the person Satan. See the inconsistencies. Show me in the Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 17 and the Mosaic Covenant in Exodus and the New Covenant in Jeremiah God making, adding, joining, including Gentiles in these covenants IF YOU CAN. And if there is NONE, why do you and other Gentile Christians bend over backwards and do amazing and stupendous gymnastics to make yourself and Gentiles a part of the Jewish Covenant which included the House of Israel and the House of Judah ONLY.
God made no Covenant with Gentiles. And that is the truth of the matter.
Show me in Jeremiah 31:31-34 Gentiles in this covenant.
Go ahead. Show me the money. Show me the Scripture.
I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews [through the Abrahamic Covenant], and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Rev. 2:8–9.
