    If someone really believes being a natural Jew makes you more special with greater superiority then you can actually convert just like many have done and you will be considered Jewish
    BAP go ahead and let us know if you become superman then I will follow you if that happens

    Joseph's wife was a Egyptian who brought forth Manasseh and Ephraim - 2 of the 12 tribes of Israel
    Think about it - 2 tribes had Egyptian blood which was a cursed and judged nation
    Moses first wife was a Midianite who had sons who became Jews
    Rachel was a gentile harlot who became a Jew
    Ruth was a cursed Moabite who became a Jew and grandmother of King David - David had gentile blood

    We may as well all convert to Judaism if we are going to get EXTRA blessed since there are lots of ungodly gentiles who converted over history

    The above is the REALITY that scripture gives -God isn't afraid of exposing all the bad as well as the good

    I believe 100% that God has special promises for natural Israel
    but we have to factor in all the scriptures and discern wisely.

    I never said anything about superiority .. those are your words and not mine .. I also never said anything aboiout the millenium .. I am talking about the sweet now and now

    Per the underlined ..you are contradicting yourself arent you ? .. on one hand you concede that they have special promises but on the other hand you say it doesnt make them special .. which is it ? :)

    I dont need to convert to Judaism I just need to bless Isreal (I wlll Bless those who bless you) for that extra blessing ...

    See its actually easier for me .. they have to be Jews with all the stress that comes with it. I just have to bless them and I get the same blessing without the stress .. see its not a bad deal afterall

    Eph 2:7 - that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
    Per the underlined .. that you do but it doesnt negate Deuteronmy 14:2 .. The two notions are not mutually exclusive

    Obviously there are believers who are derogatory of Israel and that is wrong and then anti-semitism can arise

    Overall I really like and support Dr Brown but there have been occasions where I believe he crosses the line in interpreting scripture to support of Israel because he is Jewish and has not taken all scriptures in balance
    Before the holocaust and the instituting of the nation of Israel, Christians typically saw contemporary Jews as largely irrelevant in Biblical prophecy and in God's plans for their own times. Many were anti-semitic - if not by doctrine then in practical reality. After the holocaust things changed enormously and the formation of the nation of Israel also put Jews both as a religious group and as a specific nation on the religious map again. Where Christians had been anti-semitic or at least ignored Jews previously, many Christians have become Israel-centric and pro-Israel to extremes. With some Christians, Jews and Israel have become something practically beyond criticism, just like gays are to many people. Kind of like "the person did this and that" - "oh, but they are gay" - "okay, then it's just a gay thing and therefore okay".
    This transformation from anti to pro Israel within a century has of course fundamentally been a good thing but sudden changes like that typically lead over into the ditch opposite from the original one. Which can be seen with the gay question. 70 years ago Norwegians ranked homosexuality number seven on a list of deplorable acts, now they are more likely to celebrate it and think of it as cool. From hyper-anti-gay to pro-gay to ridiculous extremes. All within a century or less.
    Besides Jews and Israel obviously being very much within criticism just like everyone else is, there are lots of negative statements and prophecies relating to Jews in the NT. Where such statements were focused on and positive prophecies were ignored 100 years ago, such statements are largely ignored today and it's also difficult to discuss them at all. Not that I take any particular interest in them in a personal sense, but they are there and they are part of scripture. Here's a couple of examples :

    Rev 2:8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
    ‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life:
    9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

    He's not referring to every Jew or the nation of Israel in general but he is referring to Jews that are persecuting Christians and blaspheming Jesus. Very many religious Jews today fit into the latter category.

    Here he's talking to the Pharisees, notice the last three verses :

    Mat 23:29 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
    30 and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
    31 “Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.
    32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.
    33 Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
    34 Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,
    35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.
    36 Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.

    Enough said.

    I read this book in the late 80s and I was convinced and remain convinced that Christians should support Israel.

    Sounds to me like they are indeed "a more special and blessed class of human" to quote the Great Cardinal
    Thank you! Likewise!

    And that was my point exactly, as scripture proves, "a more special and blessed class of human".
    When your praise match your prayers, the answer will come.

    Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

    Col 3:11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all.

    It would be strange if Jews went from being superior human beings to being like everyone else once they enter into Christ.

    Well in that case men should be able to marry men since in Christ there is no Male or Female

    Before I address your male vs female scenario I'd like to know if you think that Jews are superior to non-Jews only before salvation or irrespective of salvation.
