[UntoHim]

"On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised" (for the uninitiated, who don't actually read the Bible, like Harold, this would be the Non-Jews), just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised. For he who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles (oh, just is case Harold was wondering...this would be the Non-Jews) (Galatians 2:7.)

So the dude who wrote about 1/2 the books of the New Testament said his apostolic ministry was to the Gentiles...Non Jews. If the Bible was entirely a "Jewish book" we wouldn't be here on this forum. Harold, Carol, me and the vast majority of us gentiles who were aliened from God would have remained as enemies of God, "separated from Christ, having no hope and without God in the world" (Eph 2:12) Thankfully, God, and the many learned and wise men whom God inspired to assemble the canon of the New Testament, saw fit to make sure that the epistle of the Romans made it into the Holy Scriptures. There the apostle Paul tells us gentiles that we were "grafted in". Praise God for being the ultimate husbandman! Yes, we were without hope and without God, "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ".(Eph 2:13)

From cover to cover, the Bible is a book about Creation, the Fall, Redemption and Restoration. No, God is not through with mankind yet. (and he ain't done with the Jews yet either) In fact...He's just getting warmed up! My dear friend Harold has forgotten what it means to be a Jew. It is to be one chosen by God, and to be called out by God. Abraham was the first man chosen by God, and called out by God, to initiate a race of redeemed and restored people. God sent his only begotten Son to redeem and to restore - BOTH the Jews and the gentiles.

So, let me finish with Romans: "For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law" (Romans 2:12 Nuff Said?
