No, your comments are antisemitic. Which faith community do you represent ?
The left’s goal is precisely that: ending the influence of Christian principles on the country. The laws, customs and morality of the country are based on Christian and Jewish principles.
They want to end that. They are doing it by destroying the family and by promoting a pre-cambrian violent ideology that hates Christianity and Judaism.
Correction: “...His subsequent rejection of AND judgment upon them.”
God will not be mocked. Those who do so are assured of eternal fire.
“Given the calendar and our rebellious Western ways, could Greece’s debt be like a final test?”
I’m confused as to what pagan Greece’s debt has to do with the Jewish Shemitah? To get to that debt they had to violate multiple precepts of Mosaic Law and Proverbial Wisdom. Wherefore debt release? (Maybe I misread your post.)
False; the Jews are the foundation of the holy catholic apostolic church, a chosen people and a kingdom of priests of every people under heaven.
As to "what faith community I assemble with," it's the one predicted by the Messiah: "upon this rock I will build my church" - Matt. 16:18
False; your home page testified you are in some kind of Protestant derived community. Did you post it ? Are you now ashamed of it publicly ?
It's worth noting that the word Jesus used for His church is the same word (ekklesia) used to refer to the assembly of Israel in the Old Testament. Only this time it's not "the ekklesia of Israel" (e.g. Deut. 31:30), but "MY ekklesia".
Except a Gentile is grafted in with Israel he does not belong to the Messiah. Who taught you antisemitism (no, it was not the Messiah) ?
A change was at hand - a change prophesied throughout the Law and the Prophets. It involved the Jews' rejection of Him, and His subsequent rejection of judgment upon them.
All the original members of the holy catholic apostolic church are Jews. If the root is holy, so are the branches. Woe unto them by whom of fences come. If man views that as anti-semitic, man needs to stop rejecting God, His Messiah, and His plan.
Your comments are antisemitic, on display before the Messiah, blessed Mary, the blessed Apostles, the holy angels, and a great cloud of witnesses.
Are you aware of what happened to Baalam and Haman ? Joining a cult with their doctrines is folly. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money. For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

I would suspect babylon of old, if it could, would have housed the worldwide headquarters of Hollywood, porn and the music industries like this ‘judeo christian’ rooted nation does today.
I suspect a fair number of ‘jews’ and ‘christians’ make a living in these industries.
It would be a twist to see America and Israel with all their ‘biblical’ roots today as an enemy to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Exactly because of their love of satan’s form of freedom and liberty that originates in this judeo christian rooted nation.
That certainly would add a twist to a mystery to what the heck is mystery babylon.. I know this- I wouldn’t want to be in Rome, DC or Jerusalem when babylon falls because I see parts of babylon in each one.
That probably makes me antichristian,antisatanic, and antisemitic by todays’s standard..

I just completed Reinhard Bonnke’s life’s story. http://www.amazon.com/Living-Life-Fire-Reinhard-Bonnke/dp/1933106816/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1436282402&sr=1-1&keywords=reinhard+bonnke Millions have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in Africa through his 50 years of ministry as an evangelist.
The largest move of the Spirit came after great persecution of the church at the hand of Muslims.
The Lord gave him unction to come to America to reap the End Times harvest. Our family served as ushers in the Chicago Crusade a couple of weeks ago.
Click on the Chicago Crusade picture on his Facebook page and scroll to see pictures of the other Crusades. It makes a person to take pause when looking at the pictures of the Africa Crusades. We are in the last days of as described in Joel 2. https://www.facebook.com/evangelistreinhardbonnke
The Lord is not done with the Jews, and many will turn to Christ and be in his Kingdom before this is all over. (Rev. 7; 11; 12; 14; 21:12, etc.) Meanwhile, gentiles best heed God’s warning in Genesis 12:3.
You had me at "I'm confused". At least, that's what I'm personally working through trying to get my head around this and the events of the day.
Perhaps I'm not reading enough into it (or too much), but this is is how I understand "debt" in the context of a Shimetah year:
Give Your Friend a BreakWithin this context, Greece's debt is for her friends to forgive, so to speak.At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the L‑rd has arrived. (Deuteronomy 15:12)The Shemittah year waives all outstanding debts between Jewish debtors and creditors.[Nowadays, a halachic mechanism called pruzbul circumvents this loan amnesty. See Loan Amnesty for more information on the pruzbul.]
This aspect of Shemittah observance is known as shemittat kesafim, release of money [debts].
(As a random side thought: Was Greece a place where Christ was treated well when other places weren't so hospitable? I can't remember. If so, He might have a soft spot in His Heart for their transgressions if Greece's friends were forgiving.
Regardless, as a not so random thought that might apply to Shemitah, I do remember reading something somewhere about being forgiven as we forgive, so there's always that.
Honestly? Whether because of superstition or Fear Of God, I believe that right up to, and including, a Hail Mary play, we can use all the help we can get.)
Interesting. I’m all for undeserved grace! Just wasn’t sure that Jewish structures could be applied to Greece in that way. Seems like the way we’re going a wipeout will eventually impose a debt clearing/starting over for everyone. Assuming God wants things to go on longer...
