    the priests of israel are the men acting in athority upon the earth

    God doesnt come down and baptize you......a priest of God with the athority is the one that can do it.......

    The jews..israel...were the people of God.....they caem out of egypt as slaves.....were told of their royal priesthood and were given temples where God talked to them.....they established the kingdom of God upon the earth and performed the law of sacrafice.....until jesus came amoung them.

    that same athority is on the earth today.....with all the blessings..athority....and priesthood of yesteryear.....

    israel are the people that jesus came down to................jesus was a jew....therefor they were his people. from adma to moses.....they were one line of people.....the tribe of seth.....seth to moses one tribe...then moses to jesus the same family....God has prophets to guide men......they must be of the same family line....chosen...the others upon the earth were all wicked.....but the line of the prophets were rightous. therefor.....a family line from adam to jesus had to be the same one.

    jesus could not come down to a people without the perfect law

    Israel is God's chosen people and location since the beginning. Read the Bible in Genesis how God chose Israel to be the place and lineage of the Messiah-Jesus Christ to be born. It's where God chose to give Jesus to us for the salvation of our souls. Also, read Isaaih 49:3 - this is also a figurative picture of Christ.

    You are SO WRONG!!!

    God DID NOT "choose the Israelites as a nation of priests."

    That is not Biblical.

    That is something you made up.

    Go in peace.

    And, always remember: -- Jesus loves you!!

    JESUS IS LORD!!

    there is a lot to pass into, an probable no longer what you're thinking. there is the picking of Israelites in an previous testomony experience, the place the descendants of Israel (Jacob) could be traced from Abraham to the twelve tribes of Israel, or the toddlers of Israel. From while the ensures have been issued to Abraham by today, i could desire to respond to you via asserting that God stored His provides to Abraham by all this time. yet why did He pick Abraham? All i will enable you recognize approximately that is, He did. yet perhaps somewhat greater, Abraham replaced right into a definite way. He wasn't into homicide or instigating homicide (which Jesus reported in John 8). keep in mind there have been no regulations like there are regulations now; no states and governments to the size there are actually. yet Abraham replaced right into a marginally non violent guy. and that i think of God did with him what He does to this present day; He will boost specific human beings even although they could be ignorant of it. yet in any different case i will respond to you is interior the recent testomony experience of "picking Israel." Israel has manifested via plan right into an excellent section for the Gentile worldwide. God's provides carried by those human beings of the northern kingdom of Israel after the two kingdoms split after King David's reign. the dominion of Israel replaced into "divorced" and carried off into bondage. yet their tale turns right into somewhat clearer once you examine Hosea in easy of recent testomony components (consisting of John 4:9-11; the female replaced right into a descendant of Jacob and yet no longer a Jew; Galatians 3:6-29; Romans 4:13-25). So Israel, the recognized component of the earthly inhabitants usually talked approximately as "Jews" are no longer forgotten via God (Zechariah 14), chosen because of fact of provides the place God will constantly shop His word in a nationwide experience to them; yet in addition Israelites via promise even from the time of Abraham by Christ are stored interior the set of provides besides. Why them? i will in basic terms enable you recognize that God has an opinion, and a purpose to make your recommendations up on as He desires. i think of it comes all the way down to that.
