I MUSTACHE YOU A QUESTION Part 6 – 11-16-14 - Pastor Chuck Bernal QUESTION 1: ARE JEWS GOING TO HEAVEN? What about it then? Are we Jews better than the people who are not Jews? Not at all! I have already said that Jews and the people who are not Jews are all sinners. The Holy Writings say, “There is not one person who is right with God. No, not even one! There is not one who understands. There is not one who tries to find God.” Everyone has turned away from God. They have all done wrong. Not one of them does what is good. No, not even one! . . . But now God has made another way to make men right with Himself. It is not by the Law. The Law and the early preachers tell about it. Men become right with God by putting their trust in Jesus Christ. God will accept men if they come this way. All men are the same to God. For all men have sinned and have missed the shining-greatness of God. Anyone can be made right with God by the free gift of His loving-favor. It is Jesus Christ Who bought them with His blood and made them free from their sins. God gave Jesus Christ to the world. Men’s sins can be forgiven through the blood of Christ when they put their trust in Him . . . God makes anyone right with Himself who puts his trust in Jesus . . . this is what we have come to know. A man is made right with God by putting his trust in Christ. It is not by his doing what the Law says. Is God the God of the Jews only? Is He not the God of the people who are not Jews also? He is for sure. He is one God. He will make Jews and the people who are not Jews right with Himself if they put their trust in Christ. (Romans 3:9-12, 21-26, 28-30 – NLV) There is no difference between the Jews and the people who are not Jews. They are all the same to the Lord. And He is Lord over all of them. He gives of His greatness to all who call on Him for help. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved from the punishment of sin. (Romans 10:12-13 – NLV) Don’t be shocked by My words, but I tell you the truth. Even you, an educated and respected man among your people, must be reborn by the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. (John 3:6-7 – The Voice) Jesus said, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by Me. (John14:6 – NLV)
THEO LO GICAL TRUTH: There is a distinction between the nation of Israel and individual ________ THEO LO GICAL TRUTH: The Jews are God’s chosen people, but they still need to be ___________ THEO LO GICAL TRUTH: All of us, Jews and non Jews are _____________________________ people THEO LO GICAL TRUTH: There is a big difference between _____________ & ____________________ THEO LO GICAL TRUTH: Jesus Christ is the _________________ way to know God and go to heaven For the Jews, Jesus the Messiah has come as High Priest and through His once-for-all sacrifice for sin offers complete atonement to all people. For there is “no distinction” between Jew and Gentile. Yes, the Jews are God’s chosen people, and through them came the Jewish Messiah to bless all the nations of the earth. And it is only through Jesus that Jews can find God’s complete atonement and forgiveness. (Lee Strobel)
QUESTION 2: HOW OLD DO YOU NEED TO BE TO GET MARRIED AND HOW LONG DO YOU NEED TO DATE BEFORE YOU GET ENGAGED? The Lord God made woman from the bone which He had taken from the man. And He brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother, and will be joined to his wife. And they will become one flesh. The man and his wife were both without clothes and were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:23-25 – NLV)
