Sometimes I get the feeling that Christian Identity and it's relationship with identifying the modern blood descendants of the Israelites (white anglo-saxon, Germanic, Scandanavian and their kindred peoples) is exclusive and that other peoples are not going to or can be able to inherit the Kingdom and the promises therin, well I found this particular parable from the Gospel of Matthew in which Jesus is begged by a non Israelite woman for his help and he rejects her until she figures out what the parable meant then he gives her his blessing and I'm quite sure that non israelites (by blood descendants) are able to inherit the kingdom because of it.
Matthew Chapter 15 verse 21-28
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(only israelites by blood)
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
(testing her faith)
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
( Proof of faith)
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
(non israelite recieves Jesus blessings.)
The Book of Mark has the same sort of passage Mark 7:25-30
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Here are a few more quotes from Jesus to take into consideration.
"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 of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from
men but from God" (Romans 2:28-29).
"But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are
not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the
seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." That is, those who
are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the
children of the promise are counted as the seed" (Romans 9:6-8).
"Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that
the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law,
but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us
all" (Romans 4:16).
"For
you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as
were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians
3:27-29).
So from here we could conclude that Non israelites (by blood) can recieve the promises.
In the name of Jesus, AMEN.
