Again, in that case, who are these non-gentiles that will convert?
And how did not wanting to convert them followed from my post?
Hey fellas, former anti-theist here who became an agnostic, then a deist...

It's talking about all of Israel, not specifically Judah. Some of Israel will leave the faith and become jealous of their faithful brethren (unironic Christian Chad vs virgin atheist.) They will then see their way is better and convert. The problem with modern jews is they are essentially an inversion of the Biblical prophecies for Israel, which is a good litmus test to see if someone has read their Bible. They have become wealthy after abandoning Christ. They practice usury but the Bible predicts Israel will receive from usurers instead of practicing it (the early church and its """jewish""" lending slaves.) So going by the Bible it seems the actual Israel is contained somewhere within Christendom and modern """jews""" are just gentiles. This means in order for all of Israel to convert the modern jews have to first, instead of the church foolishly labeling them a protected group and not proselytizing them or treating them like heretics.

This is similar to what I've heard in the (limited) research I've done. I've heard that the Pharisees are essentially the ancestors of the Jews today and that they eventually began moving outwards and interbreeding with Europeans.
The video(s) I watched made a similar point. The only part where I would disagree (based on the information I obtained from the video) is that the Judeans are Israelites. However, Judah, it seems was more villainous in nature (Genesis 37:26; 37:28; Genesis 38:15-16). This is starkly different from how Joseph is portrayed (Genesis 37:2-3; Genesis 48:4). And Genesis 48:20 says that Ephraim and Manasseh will be blessed by Israel –– Joseph's sons, not Judah. And it's repeated in 1 Chronicles 5:1-2.
When I was an anti-theist, I was against all religion and I didn't believe in God. Yes, I criticized Christianity, but I also criticized Islam and Judaism. I'm not sure why this is relevant as I'm well past that stage. That was about 6 years ago. I deeply regret ever being one.
I do intend to read the Bible, user. It's a shame I haven't. I went to a Christian school and so I'm somewhat familiar with the contents of the Bible, but that doesn't do it justice. I do need to sit down and give it a complete read-through. And a few more at that to better understand the contents of the Bible.
I don't know what God would do and I'm not well-versed in Christianity so I won't speak in religious terms, but I really do think the US deserves to be punished. I'm an American, but there's no denying that over the last ~70 years or so, America has become an evil empire. We promote degeneracy of all sorts.
It's not that I doubt what you're saying, but do you have a source (like a biblical citation or something)?
> If you want to learn about Christianity read the Bible, Church Fathers, Lives of Saints, and the such. Things on virtues as well, pride and humility are pretty important(amazon.com
Thanks for the reading recommendations, user. I'll definitely look into all of these. I have a lot of theological books on my reading list and I'd be happy to add more on the topic!
To his defense, he rationalizes his statement by saying that whites have been the ones who have been blessed with intellect, innovation, etc. I think the fifth video on the series touches more on the whole "Noah was white." I'm not sure if it's in the video that I linked or one of the other ones in the series, but the guy who made the video argues that on the 4th day, God created mankind, but in Genesis 2, only Adam and Eve exist. And in the story of Cain and Abel, it's said that Cain feared others finding out that he killed Abel. But if he and Abel were the sons of Adam and Eve, who else would be able to find out? The guy who made the video addressed this apparent discrepancy by claiming that there were two "lineages" (my words, not his) and that those who didn't descend from Noah were "barbaric" (again, my words, not his) in nature. Watching the video in its entirety would do this guy's argument infinitely more justice than I ever could.

….do we actually have Zionist shills here now? The ABSOLUTE state of this board.

Do you really have to ask at this point?

This is why no one takes Christianity seriously anymore and so many are leaving the faith. It looks like atheism plus fairytales to most people. Only the most traditional households are respectable anymore and you never hear about those.
Leo Thomas
Romans 11:16-24
And Luke-Acts (which is a single work) emphasises that the Church is the true Israel.
Matthew Morris
Well put, my friend. This is why we Christians need to be informed about our faith, doctrine and holy book and stand firm in our actions, words and beliefs. Sometimes it garners dislike, but sometimes even the secular people think of you as a commendable man.
