THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

[Excerpt from another blog] How would you like to be yourself conceived of the Holy Spirit and immaculately brought forth? Would this idea attract you? So try to come out from your own skin and imagine that the same Spirit (God) who made physical Adam from dust would deposit into Mary the living embryo called Yeshua (salvation) Jesus. There was no longer any need to create new genetics for these have already existed when God made Adam and Eve... [end of excerpt]. Read more...

It is important to note that without Jesus gentiles would still be in paganism and Jews would be beating on the same Pharisaic dead horse. There would be no Torah Centers and no schools. Jewish development  would be minimal if any. What sparked this new development is the emergence of Christianity. 

COMPETITION 

Initially there was feverish competition between these two religious camps. God has time, but man is always short on time. With God's gift of overview we see His wisdom. Also Christianity went through series of definitions in competition with Judaism. In order to spark growth and development it seems that God has permitted this animosity until the fullness of time. Both, the Jew and the Christian benefited from this competition, which Paul sparked with hos letters.  

On one hand Paul says: 

[Romans 2:28-29] For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

On the other hand he says this:

[Romans 3:1] Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

OUT OF DARKNESS

Both feverishly started to work, right or wrong, blindly or seeing... Today some can repent and see their predecessors' imbecility, but that imbecility is like the darkness we all must come out from, not worship it, but come out from. Even from gross darkness into bright light of the Truth. 

• Jews went their own way to solidify Judaism and unite the Jewish people.
• Without the survival of the Jewish people no prophecies would have come to pass, like the restoration of Israel back to the Jew, which will also usher in the Messiah.
• The first coming of the Messiah was to find the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel (not of Judah) dispersed and mixed with the nations and the net God uses today is Christianity. No wonder Jesus used fishermen who busied themselves with repairing their nets. But only when Jesus told them where to fish that their nets almost broke under the weight of the many fish. 
• The second coming is the one Jews actually wait for (first for them). I am sorry to say that Jewish selfishness, regarding His God and His Word, has been limited to only the chosen; never realizing that the Jew was chosen not for himself but for the world.
• Once the world got the witness only then God can judge the world righteously. So there had to be the Christian dispensation until the number of those to be saved comes in (Romans 11:25).

THE PROCESS

1. Choosing a nation. 2. Training the nation. 3. Choosing Mary and deposing into her body the Second Adam. 4. Birth of Jesus and His ministry. 5. Death and resurrection. 6. Arrival of the Holy Spirit. 7. The teaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit today. 

NEW BEGINNING

8. Overcoming what needs to be overcome by the power of the Holy Spirit. Some will be called the first fruits and be no more like Enoch or Elijah. 

Without Jesus not even these ideas, the faintest of them, would ever come to us for these ideas would be drowned in ritual and dead religion. For this reason Jesus had to be different than all other men. Thank God for it.     

Scriptures for today:

[Job 33:4]  The Spirit of God has made me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. 

[John 6:63] "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life." - Jesus. 

[2Corinthians 3:5-6] Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
