To: Cronos
you do know that John 4:22 can be interpreted different ways as either being “from the Jews” signifying Jesus Christ or other ways.

No it can't...

Joh 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Joh 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Joh 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

It can't mean from the Jews as a place of origin because salvation comes from God, not the Jews...

It certainly can not mean from that time forward since that would make no literary sense in the context...

The only word that could be used in place of 'of' is 'for'...Salvation is for the Jews...

We know this is true because the narrative of the scriptures tells us so...

Jesus came to his own and his own received him not...Jesus then, to make his own jealous, came to the Gentiles and offered adoption to the Gentiles to take the place of his own who rejected him...

I don’t respond to emails of those who pretend that they are sometimes Catholic, sometimes Baptist, sometimes Gnostic and then appear sporadically during Ramzan. I’ve got a nice list of this at the bottom of my profile page. Keep up the taqqiyah Iscool
