Gentiles are Joint-Heirs to God’s Kingdom
Ephesians 3:6
““that
the
Gentiles
are
joint-heirs,
and
a
joint-body,
and
joint-partakers
of
the
promise
in
Christ
Jesus, through the gospel,”
- Berean Literal Bible
You
know
of
course
that
the
“Gentiles”
Paul
refers
to
here,
are
the
nations,
the
non-Jews,
the
pagans,
not
so?
And
what’s
more…
do
you
notice
the
“are”
in
present
infinitive
format
in
this
verse?
The
“Gentiles”
referred
to
here,
are
ALL
the
Gentiles…
not
just
a
few
elect.
All
are
partakers
of
the
promise
of
Jesus
Christ.
And
what
are
the
promises
of
Jesus
Christ?
Let’s see…
Romans 14:11
“For
it
has
been
written:
"I
live,
says
the
Lord,
that
every
knee
will
bow
to
Me,
and
every
tongue
will
confess to God.“”
- Berean Literal Bible
Isaiah 25:6
“On
this
mountain
the
LORD
of
Hosts
will
prepare
a
banquet
for
all
the
peoples
,
a
feast
of
aged
wine, of choice meat, of finely aged wine.”
- Berean Study Bible
‘Christian’,
if
you
believe
in
everlasting
condemnation,
how
can
you
reconcile
your
non-sense
doctrine
with
Scripture
here?
The
Bible
is
full
of
Christ’s
love…
He
IS
love.
These
two
verses
above
are
promises
of
Christ
and
He
will
see
to
that,
that they will be fulfilled.
Joshua 21:25
“Not one of all the LORD's good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.”
- New International Version
Ezekiel 12:28
“"Therefore
say
to
them,
'This
is
what
the
Sovereign
LORD
says:
None
of
my
words
will
be
delayed
any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign LORD.'“”
- New International Version
Besides, did John not explicitly say that Jesus came to save the world?
John 3:17
“For
God
did
not
send
his
Son
into
the
world
to
condemn
the
world,
but
to
save
the
world
through
him.”
- New International Version
Please
take
note
that
many
Bibles
have
the
“might”
added
in
this
verse,
to
instil
doubt
with
the
subjunctive
mood
erroneously
attached.
“Might
save”
is
a
slap
in
God’s
Face.
God
is
a
purposeful
God.
This
is
a
grave
error
at
the
hand
of
the
scribe,
with
a
grave
consequence…
and
you
know
what
grave
means,
don’t
you?
Grave
means
suffering.
God
did
not
incorporate the parable of the rich man and Lazarus without purpose.
Luke 16:24
“And
having
cried
out,
he
said,
'Father
Abraham,
have
mercy
on
me
and
send
Lazarus,
that
he
might
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering in this flame.‘”
- Berean Literal Bible
Do
you
deep
in
your
heart
want
others
to
be
condemned
forever?
How
many
of
the
verses
that
proclaim
everlasting
life
for
all
do
you
ignore
?
Fear
that
you
were
taken
for
a
ride
all
along…
that
the
implications
are
too
much,
losing
face
to
all
your
followers?
Does
this
doctrine
of
eternal
damnation
of
yours
reflect
any
love
in
your
heart
at
all?
Are
you
a
product
of the “Canons of Dort” and the “Heidelberg Catechism”?
1 Corinthians 16:14
“Let all things of you be done in love.”
- Berean Study Bible
Are
you
searching
for
the
Truth
at
all?
Everlasting
damnation
is
a
doctrine
of
hatred,
not
of
love.
Does
it
ever
occur
to
you
that
all
the
division
in
the
church,
all
the
backstabbing,
all
the
conflict
and
hatred
among
its
very
members
is
a
direct
outflow of this destructive dogma… a dogma where the Spirit of Christ is not to be experienced at all? Where is unity?
May God open your eyes.
