I’m posting a link to a recent Seattle Times article – Just click on the colored text to view.
After reading it I felt a need to email my thoughts and they are below in todays post so please read the article first.
——————————————————–
Just read the article and had to comment.
First Shalom. I pray for the peace of Israel. I am not the majority and it’s getting worse that believe the Jews are done with God like many so called replacement theology Christians. God made a promise and that
promise will be kept. We can count on that just like all of His literal promises in the Bible.
Your article says the Old Testament (ours) only mentions it twice. You fail to mention the following:
Genesis 19:4-7 – 4 Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. 5 They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.”
6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this
wicked thing.
The angels were heading down because the wickedness was crying out and then this is the account before they leave and it is destroyed. I understand that man will do or say whatever he wants and the Bible isn’t going to stop them. However, those who choose to believe parts and ignore others are not seeking God’s Truth, but what fits best for them.
These scriptures are in your Torah (which some Jews only wish to acknowledge), let alone the Old Testament. I believe if a Jew believes in the whole Old Testament and seeks the scriptures literally the only conclusion is Jesus as the Messiah.
Because I see the scriptures as literal, Jesus will rule and reign on David’s Throne just like it says in Zechariah. They will look onto Me the one they have pierced and I will forever be their Lord.
Zechariah 12:7-10 – 7 “The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. 8 On that day the
LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. 9 On that day I will
set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns
for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
This is at the end of Armageddon and Jesus returns. That time is getting closer as Israel is finding itself once again with no allies.
The New Testament has other scriptures outlining that Homosexuality is wrong.
My only purpose for writing this is not to have you believe my way, but to closely seek what the scriptures say is God’s way. That’s the only way that will matter once we’re done with life here.
