Greetings Brethren,
We bear witness that three is a great
effort to distort and confuse the Word of God. However, these efforts are on
going. Meanwhile, the very oppressed and forsaken have assisted in the defilement
of the True Word of God. Has this been by design or by accident? No manner of
ignorance or the efforts of the ungodly is reason for the lack of knowledge.
Peace and Love,
Carl Patton writing for the FreedomJournal
May 22, 2002 in the year of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ.

PART 9:
JUDAISM OR CHRISTIANITY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
In the name of Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the
earth.
We greet you Brethren with humble hearts and
with the will of love, patience and faith. Thus, we give thanks to our Father,
which is your Father, and to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior who is the head
of the Church. We are also grateful for the Holy Spirit that stirs within us
and leads us the
right way. Is there any peace upon the
land? Yes and No. The Saints of God will always know Peace. Meanwhile the world
is set in crisis for man thinks that War is Peace.
As the Holy Spirit leads and guides us we
often are led too various very important scriptures that relate to our subject.
In this discussion we go back to the New Testament Book of Matthew and look at
additional verses in the 24th Chapter that note that Jesus is the Son of God.
Also, we will continue see that there is only One Messiah and that He is the
Son of God. We will also see
that Jesus Christ the Savior of the world
is at the center of the conflict in the Middle East. The record shows that
Jesus was at the center of the War of the Jews and Romans of Old Times. We will
also see that Christianity is the new name for the people of God. Thus there is
much confusion of the role of Judaism and how it applies to Christianity.
On an even sadder note we reveal that
although some people in the Black community want to claim a human Messiah some also
want to place a racial image on Jesus. For the record evil should not breed
additional evil. The campaign by some of the people of the world to place a
White image on Jesus and God should not promote Black people to now Cry for the
Blackness of Jesus and God. Just what
will this prove? As we attempt to move
with compassion and love
we believe that Images of God, Jesus the
Saints, the Prophets and Apostles will
only cause more dissension and confusion. However, the lack of knowledge
regarding this subject has been mired in ignorance, discrimination, racism and
economic exploitation.
God should be left out of the Devilish
efforts of Ethnic Supremacy. Any group or race that seeks superiority is not of
God. Therefore those that insist on a Public Relations Campaign noting the
Blackness of God and Jesus are not pleasing to God. We realize that the deeds
of White Supremacy are at the center of the erroneous notion of a White Jesus
however the love of God should allow you to hold compassion and love and not
Hate and "Get Back."
Furthermore as we continue our discussion
you will see that the notions of Jesus as God, man as God and Jesus as Black
are ways in which Satan has clouded and tainted the minds of many.
"Are they then the very elect?"
Matthew 24: 21. "For then shall be
great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this
time, no, nor ever shall be."
One of the greatest sources in the secular
world for the results of the prediction in this verse is noted in the historical
writings of Josephus. Josephus was a
Jew thus some scholars and theologians argue that he was partial to Zionism,
the Jewish cause, (What is the Jewish cause?)
thought or aspirations. However the record
shows that he was for the most part an impartial responsible historian. In his
history of the Jewish War in Jerusalem he notes the exact results of the
predictions made by Christ regarding the suffering of the Jewish people. For
the record we note that this suffering that some note as one of the greatest
episodes of suffering in the history
of humankind came about because of the
disobedience of the Hebrew/Jewish people. It is further noted that the
disobedience was centered on the rejection and murder of Christ.
Therefore for this deed the Hebrew/Jews
were faced with the destruction of their city, which was center of religion and
government. The people were divided into various factions. Some accounts note
three and some four. However, they waged war against each other and the
conquering Empire of Rome. The trials of war were so great that the people ate
anything even human flesh. Robbers also came to devour the people of any food
and riches. Thus, we see again the Jews hiding money and valuables in their
bodies by mouth.
Thus, many were ripped apart at the bowels
in the search for jewels etc. Blood shed was so great that it quenched fires.
People died burying the dead because the lack of food had many weak and
lifeless. Question for the wise: Why don't you hear or read or have
documentaries or movies about this great ordeal of the Hebrew people? Is there
any relationship to the Jewish War that ended in 70 A.D. and the contemporary
Holocaust? We may be able to answer some of these questions as we pursue the
Words of Jesus in Matthew 24.
Matthew 24: 22. "And except those days
should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake
those days shall be shortened."
If the conditions and War in Jerusalem had
continued no one would have survived. The word "elect" in this
passage means chosen by God to obtain salvation through Christ. The elect also
reveals that what one accomplishes through Christ is obtained through obedience
to his commandments. Therefore, during the siege and great turmoil in Jerusalem
during the Jewish War there were many people that were Christians. These people
were Jews and Gentiles. These were the people that were meant by the elect. For
the sake of these people God decreed to bring
the conflict to a close after the general
purpose had been achieved. For your thought and mediation what does this mean
regarding the contemporary siege of Jerusalem?
As we turn to the Old Testament Book of
Isaiah, we will see some powerful scripture that will bring more clarity to our
discussion. Another question for your thought and mediation. In the Old and New
testaments we see that the Call to the Gentiles is made and that the
Hebrews/Jews that did not accept Christ are not chosen. So why does the Church
seem to think that this Word is not of use for our Salvation? Who has planted
the mis-conceptions of the role of the Jews and the Gentiles?

Christians Are Chosen
