Are the Jewish People Still Chosen? (And Answers to Your Questions) 

Romans 9:6-8 King James Version 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

why do you say that gentiles can't be Spiritual Jews? we are Fathered by a Jew & we Married a Jew Spiritually, so according to common sense we are Jews Spiritually.

Thanks for this Dr. Brown. I totally believe the promises God made still exist.

I really don’t know the answer to this debate. How do we know who a real Jew is?

Didn't those promises also apply to the 10 lost tribes? Where are they now?

Clearly the Jews are the chosen of God. Chosen aa a people to represent God to the world, through obedience and blessing, or disobedience and suffering. Thats what they signed up to. They were also the prophets of God and the bearer of the Messiah. God's purpose and plan for the Jewish people has not changed. They will one day look upon the one they pierced and mourn. They will receive their Jewish Messiah into the whole world. To the Jew first, and then to the gentile. They have returned to their land, just as God promised. Jerusalem is their capital, just as God promised.

I was really hoping Gabriel would explain Roman's 11. Gabriel said Jews are loved just like all humans are. Yet Paul specifically said they are "loved on account of the Patriarchs", despite rejecting/hating the Gospel. Why would he say that if there was no more promises to them? It makes no sense. There is no glossing over or getting away from that verse no matter how many Church fathers he quotes

Thank you for your service to the body, Dr. Brown. Blessings from California. 🕊

Every son of Jacob who kept the covenant inherited the promises of the covenant. There was only One. All the rest, Jew or Gentile, must become citizens of Israel in Him.

wonderful

The way I read the debate your opponent debated 'salvation' rather than 'service' and in the end totally confused both to be mutually inclusive. But the Lord Jesus never said the Jews are no longer chosen, rather they will never see him again until they say 'Baruch haba bashem Adonai' (blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord). I was totally disturbed by his interpretation of 1 Peter 2, especially verse 9, which specifically is addressed to the Jews of the day not gentiles!

Dr. Brown I am praying for the Lord to give you some clarity because I think your heart is in the right place but there's some confusion here. There are scriptures that have a meaning that can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit, which gives us the wisdom to understand them. In addition to that we are living in a time where people have little knowledge about the history of that region & people don't use the scripture to interpret the scripture. This has lead to a rise in all kinds of eschatological views that range from Christian Zionism to full on going Ancient Aliens with Genesis 6:4. There is a long history of people twisting the scriptures to turn a blind eye towards evil in their time. There is also a more recent history for the past 200 years with the church getting so caught up in end times & the second coming that we've dropped the ball on doing the work of the great commission to spread the gospel, take care of the needy as Christ commands us to do, and replaced this with looking at everything that occurs on the news & trying to read it into the Bible. The worst part is that we're frequently encouraged to turn a blind eye & even help in persecuting fellow brothers & sisters in Christ to make sure that Biblical prophecy unfolds the way we believe it will. People believe they can manufacturer a second coming by manipulating foreign policy, & that is not how this works. If there is anything Christians should take as a warning by looking at the mistakes made by the Pharisees is that sometimes prophecy unfolds in a way we didn't expect it to. Dr. Michael Heiser used to talk about this. Another important lesson from Abraham & Sarah is that when God says he will do something he will do it His way & in His time. When we decide that we need to make something happen to force his hand we only create problems for ourselves & others. There was a time when the Church was very active in Gaza, not just running hospitals & serving meals, but preaching to those who came for help. Many people were lead to the Lord. This type of outreach was eventually stopped as certain beliefs became popularized. The sad part is we have basically shunned the Muslim world because of certain beliefs around who "the chosen people are." I don't even want to get started on the indifference I'm seeing to the bloodshed in Gaza right now or the laws that have been changed to lock up people from the WB with no formal charges filed. They are even holding a young Christian girl in one of these detention facilities & I keep hearing Palestinian Christians ask why the global church doesn't care about them. I don't know if you are familiar with David Wood (Apologetics Roadshow YT channel) or the show he hosts with his friend on the Apostate Prophet YT channel, but there's a tremendous number of comments from ex-Muslims who have come to Christ listening to them. The reality is they are much more inclined to convert because even their religion teaches that Jesus is the Messiah, but they're not told why, or how since they're told he wasn't crucified. Once they hear the Gospel things start to click. On the other hand, I frequently hear Jewish content creators say that denying Jesus is the Christ is part of their very identity. My parents were Christian zionists and they would even donate to groups that purchase land in Israel for Jewish people. They fully supported the building of the 3rd temple & if I'm not mistaken they may have donated to the Temple institute. I don't know if my comment will post if I put a link to this article, but please look up an article in The American Conservative titled "An Anti-Christian Disgrace in Jerusalem." I know they had no awareness that they were donating to an organization that is attempting to push Christians out of Jerusalem. Many of us are tired of watching fellow believers being used. Why were they so easily deceived? Because they followed this doctrine which has mostly grown in the past 200 years in the West amongst Protestants. I follow various channels ranging from Protestants to Roman Catholics to Eastern Orthodox & I'm just being honest when I tell you the other two branches aren't obsessed with Israel or with people who identify as Jewish today. They use their energy & resources to care for people in need & use that as an opportunity to minister to people. Instead, we're following a newer theology which has resulted in little if any fruit to show for it except for a lot of speculation & division. Moreover, it has lead us into calling good evil and calling evil good. I'm seeing a lot of content uploaded by Jewish people and it's incredible how much they hate us. I realize you may think that acceptable because some wrong has been done in the past by people who are not alive today, but this is no different than when woke leftists claim every hardship faced by black Americans is the fault of slavery & the legacy of Jim Crow & redlining therefore white people should be forced to ______ fill in the blank. Nobody in the church accepts that logic outside of this one exception, despite the fact that much of that occurred more recently than the crusades. Moreover, if they can blame us for that, then should I hold them all responsible for the millions of Christians put to death in the Bolsheviks work camps? Should we hold them all accountable for Israel helping Azerbaijan to persecute Armenian Christians now? Should we hold them all responsible for making the lives of Arab, Greek & Armenian Christians hell on earth in the Holy Land? What you seem to forget is that Christians are the number one most persecuted group on the planet, and sometimes it was at their hands. However, unlike those who are only circumcised on the outside, we don't retaliate with violence. If we did as they do right now in Gaza & the WB there would be nobody left. One thing to consider is that you are making two claims simultaneously, and they're mutually exclusive. One the one hand you say these ideas regarding Zionism have always existed and been mainstream in the faith, on the other hand you say we've been persecuting them the whole time. It's one or the other, but both can't be true. I also would like to add that even in the 1600s there were Jewish rabbi's forcing Christian Arabs to convert & get circumcised in the Holy Land. In my 41 years on this planet, the only group that is treated as a punching bag in our society is us. If anyone dared to say the things that are said about us about them, they would be cancelled immediately. I'm disturbed by the fact that we have been brow beaten into denying objective reality. It's not the church running Hollywood & using entertainment to shape culture & make one specific faith the butt of the joke for decades. I don't believe that Christians in the West would overlook what's happening in Gaza if they didn't believe they need to support Israel in building a 3rd temple where they will practice sacrifice animals (both of these activities would be themselves an Antichrist act but nobody seems to notice that) so the Antichrist can stop them 3.5 years before Jesus returns again. I know this because other Christians who don't hold this view are horrified by what is happening. It's also interesting that nobody seems to see the parallel between this view & the Pharisees accusing Jesus of driving out devils by the power of the Devil. Let me contrast how Christians outside the US see this with something I saw from a man who also works for CBN, I believe his name is Chuck Holster or something close to that. He was reporting from his own YT channel about a month ago & he was critical of Israel for not going even harder on the Palestinians. This was in the context of reporting on a particularly violent operation where many civilians died. I could feel the Holy Spirit recoil in disgust inside me. I could see he had a lust for violence & bloodshed. If we allow the disgusting actions of H@mas to control our emotions, we will certainly let our hearts grow cold & the hate will creep in. The Holy Spirit will not dwell inside of us. I remember not long after Oct 7 the Lord prompted me to pray for the Father to open the eyes of people in Gaza & reveal Christ to them. I asked the Lord to give them dreams, visions or a visitation. Whatever it takes for people to know the truth. By December I began seeing reports of 200 men showing up at the church after having a dream about Jesus in one night. I pray for the Lord to reveal himself to the people in Israel as well. We say we don't believe in a cast system, but we all need to examine our hearts to see if that's true. Any interpretation of the scriptures that takes the focus off Christ & doing what he asked us to do should in the least be viewed with suspicion. Furthermore, we have all witnessed how issues around identity have been weaponized for decades in this country. Whenever someone can't support their position with a coherent argument the first thing they reach for is the identity card. We should not participate in that behavior. There are many younger Jewish people who have spoken about this lately and they're tired of everything & anyone who voices even mild objections to what Israel is doing as "antisemitic." People should be very skeptical of anyone demanding people be cancelled, left without a job, and ostracized from society for not getting in line with whatever a foreign government or some religion demands. Our own Congress just voted on an Antisemitism bill that included "saying the Jews killed Jesus." Even the most influential Jewish conservative, Ben Shapiro himself, was alarmed by that. He understands how many of us will see that.

Jesus I seek you everyday. Even when I feel like giving up. I will keep faith. As a single mother. I’m struggling to make ends meet. My husband passed years ago. I have no one to turn to but you Lord JESUS. Both of my sons are special needs and require so much from me. Lord I’m afraid. Every month I struggle trying to provide for my children struggling to pay rent and to buy groceries. God you have provided this far. Lord hear my prayers.❤️

Yes - YHWH never divorced Judah - out of which came our Messiah, Yahshua with skin and bones and blood from YHWH: Our Passover Lamb - It is finished He cried as He died for His Bride: Judah and Joseph! And now, Ephraim, Joseph, can once again be redeemed back into Father's House again - Ezekiel 37:16

Shalom Dr. Brown! I sent you a pair of epistles back in 2023. I hope you were able to read them (THE GREAT GREAT AWAKENING, & THE GREAT GREAT AWAKENING II- A Letter to the Lands of the Covenant) I am just completing the 4th, which shall be combined into one... I will send you the final document if you so desire. On another note, I LIVED IN ROCK HILL, SC FOR MANY YEARS! (I may have seen your first caller in the Wal-Mart!)🤣 Peace be unto you! -Watchman Winyahudah

how can we ask Dr Brown a question online?

This idea is heretic and ridiculous.

Jew got to be kidding me!

Yes, just like others in Christ.

I watched the debate- and have mixed thoughts on the purpose- i and am wondering the fruit in any of these endless disputes- I suppose one could say it’s important their position be made- as to try and teach those holding a position of error- But I also know the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth- and where at a point of doctrinal hobbyhorses and itchy ears- plus it makes for more likes and clicks - in you tube land- Pride was quite evident and a bit of self righteousness- idk I can look back and say- I enjoyed the debate with popcorn as if I enjoyed a drama- I was not edified -

Shalom Dr Brown, could you please clarify something for me. Is Romans 11:29 'gifts and calling' purely about Israel, or is it also referring to individual spiritual gifts and calling? I have struggled with this being quoted as individual spiritual gifts and callings because it's clear Paul is talking about Israel. Would really appreciate clarification on this.

Jewish Prophet could not snatch a repentant Pagan nation out of the Lord's hand. I love that they were "chosen" for a mission/purpose not just because.

I would love to challenge you but you talk like I would talk. So you can challenge me, a student. 😉

Question: Does Satan has access to Heaven or he is restricted? Thank you dr. Brown.

Nobody should care. These "concerns" come out of jealousy, if the Almighty God wants to save all of Israel, who are we, to tell Him, He's wrong or "that's not fair ". I only want what God wants. His will prevails for eternity and there's no one that can have a tantrum big enough to stop the Almighty God from doing what He wants. So get over yourselves if you feel it's not "fair",repent of your jealousy and go spread the gospel to the nations.

New Covenant Whole Gospel: How many modern Christians cannot honestly answer the questions below? Who is the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Who is the “son” that is the “heir” to the land in Matthew 21:37-43? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. God is not now a "racist". He has extended His love to all races of people through the New Covenant fulfilled by His Son's blood at Calvary. Paul warned against using "genealogies" in our faith in 1 Tim. 1:4, and Titus 3:9. Why? The most important genealogy in the Bible is found in Matthew 1:1 and Galatians 3:16. In 2 Thess. 1:7-10 Paul said Christ returns "in flaming fire" taking vengeance on those who do not obey the Gospel. Is there a Plan B of salvation based on race at the Second Coming of Jesus in this passage? Romans Chapter 11: In its New Covenant context... There is no Plan B of salvation outside of the New Covenant Church in this passage. Plan A is found in verses 23 and 24. In Romans 1:16 Paul said the Gospel was taken "first" to the Jews. This time period can be found in Matt. 10:5-7, and Acts 10:36-38, and Gal. 1:14-18. Many try to claim God never gave the Jews a chance to accept Christ, so there must be some Plan B of salvation before or during the Second Coming of Christ. Romans 1:16 proves they are wrong, since Paul said the Gospel went "first" to the Jews. Many ignore the fact that Peter addressed the crowd as "men of Judea", and as "men of Israel", and as "all the house of Israel" on the Day of Pentecost, when about 3,000 Israelites accepted the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. The Gentiles were not grafted in until several years later. This passage proves Paul was right about the Gospel being taken "first" to the Jews. Were all of the Israelites "partially" hardened in Romans 11, or were part hardened and another part were not hardened? The answer is found in the "remnant" of Romans 11:5. Paul reveals two different groups of Israelites in Romans 9:6-8. There is an Israel of the promise, and an Israel of the flesh. This is part of the context of Romans 11. Paul speaks about the "remnant" of Israel in Romans 9:27. This is also part of the context of Romans 11. Paul starts Romans 11 with two different groups of Israelites. In verse one Paul reveals he is still an Israelite, even after his conversion. Then Paul refers to two different groups of Israelites during the time of Elijah. There were the Baal worshippers, and there was the faithful "remnant". In verse five Paul says there is also a faithful "remnant" of Israelites during his time. This must be the Israelites who have accepted Christ, as on the Day of Pentecost. Paul uses the two olive trees as a symbol of the New Covenant Church made up of believing Israelites, and believing Gentiles grafted together into the same tree. The unbelieving Israelites have been broken off but can be grafted back in through faith in Christ in verses 23-24. Verse 26 is the problem for many modern Christians. What does the verse actually say, and how is it changed by many in the modern Church. I have heard two of our nations famous preachers say the following. "And then all Israel will be saved..." I have heard another say the following. "And all Israel will be saved..." What does God's Word, recorded by the Apostle Paul actually say? Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: The English word "so" is translated from the Greek word "houto", which is an adverb of manner, instead of an adverb of timing. Some have changed the word from "so" to "then", in order to change the meaning of the verse. How will all of the "remnant" of Israel from Romans 9:27 be saved? The answer is found in the verses that precede verse 26 and are found below. Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? Paul quoted from the OT in referring to the Deliverer coming out of Sion to pay for sin. Did this happen at Calvary, or will Jesus die again for His people in the future? Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Verse 28 can only be understood by looking at how Paul started the passage. He started with two different groups of Israelites and he ends the passage in the same way. There are two different groups of "they" in verse 28. One group of "they" reject Christ and are the enemies of God, and another group of "they" are the election which accept Christ through hearing the Gospel and faith. Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. Based on Luke 21:24b-28, the times of the Gentiles comes to fullness at the Second Coming of Christ. This agrees with what Paul said in Romans 1:16 about the Gospel going “first” to the Jews.

Yes we are. And we jewish believers are called NAZARENES acts 24:5.
