God is Jewish

Thursday, November 16th, 2006

The God written about in the Bible is Jewish. This bold statement, of course, is NOT equal to saying God is Chinese or God is American. Being a Jew is not based on ethnicity. After all, there are Russian Jews, Iranian Jews, Spanish Jews and so on. It is important to realize that if God is not a Jew then Christians should despair because salvation has no basis.

One way of remembering the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ is to compare it with the Levitical sin offering.

The Lamb’s blood is shed to cover a person’s sin. Without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin; this is a very Jewish concept.

During the baptism of Jesus Christ, John said "Behold the LAMB of God who takes away the sin of the world." And when Jesus shed His blood on the cross, the sin of the world was paid in full. Moreover, Just as a LAMB before his shearers is silent, So He does not open His mouth.

If you take out anything Jewish related in the Bible, you’ll be left with nothing.

I am a Christian; I serve the Jewish Messiah, whom the Jewish prophets prophesied, foreshadowed in the Jewish Law of Moses, affirmed by the Jewish Scribes who kept the Jewish Scriptures intact, given to us as a Jewish sacrifice for sin by the God who is Jewish.

Moreover, if God is not Jewish then Jesus Christ, His son, died in vain; for Gentiles do not require sin offerings and has no basis whatsoever on the remission of sin.
