When Calvinists Build Islam’s Throne

How Supersessionism Becomes the Church’s Suicide Note

#calvinism #supersessionism

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. (James 1:27, WMB) Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Thus says YHVH, "Keep justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil." Isaiah 56:1-2, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Who has believed our message? To whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed? For he grew up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form nor comeliness. When we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised, and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering; as one from whom men hide their face, and we despised him and we did not value him. Surely he has borne our sufferings, and carried our sorrows; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Jehovah has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he did not open his mouth. As a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that before its shearers is mute, so he did not open his mouth. He was taken away by oppression and judgment; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people? They made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him. He has caused him to suffer. When you make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring. He shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see light and be satisfied. By his knowledge shall my servant, the righteous one, make many righteous, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out his soul to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many, and made intercession for their transgressions. #Isaiah 53, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study.

I love you, Jehovah, my strength. Jehovah is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. I call on Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies. #Psalms 18:1-3, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Jehovah, who shall dwell in your sanctuary? Who shall live on your holy hill? He who walks blamelessly does what is right, and speaks truth in his heart; He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man; In whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Jehovah; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn't change; he who doesn't lend out his money for usury, nor take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be shaken. #Psalms 15, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Jehovah restores the fortunes of his people, then Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. #Psalms 14:7, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to Jehovah, because he has been good to me. #Psalms 13:5-6, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Jehovah; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him." The words of Jehovah are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times. You will keep them, Jehovah. You will preserve them from this generation forever. #Psalms 12:5-7, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

In Jehovah, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!" For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men. Jehovah examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates. On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For Jehovah is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face. #Psalms 11, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless. #Psalms 10:14, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens! From the lips of babes and infants you have ordained praise, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with glory and honor. You make him ruler over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet: All sheep and cattle, yes, and the animals of the field, The birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and whatever passes through the paths of the seas. Jehovah, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! #Psalms 8, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping. Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah accepts my prayer. #Psalms 6:8-9, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah. But know that Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call to him. When agitated, do not sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Jehovah. Many say, "Who will show us any good?" Jehovah, let the light of your face shine on us. You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased. In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Jehovah alone, make me live in safety. #Psalms 4, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father. Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall rule them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. #Psalms 2:7-12, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in Jehovah's Law. On his Law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. #Psalms 1:1-3, NHEBJE Shared using #AndBible: #Bible Study. (https://andbible.github.io)
