Was Jesus a Jew?
Yeah, obviously Jesus was a Jew, but I don't like it when people say Jesus is a Jew,
because Jesus Christ, seated at the right hand of God, obviously transcends, you know, calling him a Jew.
It's like when people call Jesus a rabbi.
Jesus isn't a rabbi, Jesus is THE rabbi.
Anyone else who's called rabbi is a fraud and an imposter and an antichrist.
So, you know, I don't like that statement, Jesus is a Jew, but Jesus obviously was a Jew.
He was obviously circumcised on the eighth day, he fulfilled the law, he kept the law,
he was brought up as a Jew, he was part of that nation.
You know, another thing that annoys me is like where they have this bumper sticker,
my boss is a Jewish carpenter, or something like that.
I mean, it makes no sense, and I find it to be blasphemous, you know, just trying to just downgrade Jesus.
First of all, the Bible never even teaches that he was for sure a carpenter.
We know that Joseph was a carpenter, and his enemies at one point said,
is not this the carpenter's son?
And then in another of the four Gospels it says, is not this the carpenter?
That's coming from his enemies, they might just be trying to downgrade him with that.
Perhaps he was a carpenter and did that kind of work.
But since the Bible doesn't talk about that and emphasize that,
we don't want to take the Son of God seated at the right hand of the Father
and say, oh, he's Jewish, he's a rabbi, he's a carpenter.
No, he's actually the Son of God.
He's the Savior of the world, he's the Creator, and so forth.
So a lot of times when people are making this statement,
oh, Jesus was Jewish, they're trying to Judaize you, okay?
Jesus Christ said in John chapter 4, salvation is of the Jews.
But guess what? In 2019, salvation is not of the Jews,
because the so-called Jews today have completely forsaken the God of the Bible.
And the Bible says, if you don't have the Son, you don't have the Father.
But he that acknowledges the Son hath the Father also.
So the Jews have a different God, a different religion,
they're not following the Old Testament, they're not worshiping the God of the Bible.
And so saying that Jesus is a Jew or Jesus is Jewish
is misleading, since in 2019, today, what a Jew is
or a Jewish person is, is something super wicked.
It's basically an Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son,
and it's also some of the most immoral people in the world.
There, I said it. What else we got? Do I still need to just go off?
All right, I got one here for you, Pastor Anderson.
And it's about the Catholic Church, and it says...
