I just saw a piece of news about the "Caste system" in India. In fact, I really hate the "Caste system". This system is the most unfair system in the world! (Jeremiah 17:10) I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. ~ There are four castes in India: The highest are the Brahmins, the Kshotriya, Vaisha, Sudra! Brahmins are the mouth of the Hindu gods, so this group of people are born with privileges, and the lowest ones are "untouchables"! This "caste system" reminds me of "Israelis"! "Israelites" call themselves: God's chosen people! And God's chosen people are divided into the highest level "Levites", and the highest level of Levites are priests and kings! Why is the "Bible" hated by the whole world? Because everyone feels that God is not "fair" at all!
Is God "fair or unfair"? God is absolutely fair! "Fairness" must be "absolute", not "relative" as Einstein said. If God's fairness is relative, then God is a completely unfair God! Why are the "sons of Abraham" superior to others among the "Hebrews"? And the "Israelites" are higher than the descendants of Abraham? Is the "family of Judah" higher than the Israelites? These are the results of casual interpretation of the Bible by a group of people who do not understand the Bible! The "Bible" must not be interpreted according to the "literal meaning", we must understand the "truth" preached in the Bible to interpret the Bible! Why was Abraham blessed and so were Abraham's descendants? Because Abraham "obeyed God and believed in God", this is the reason for the blessing of Abraham's descendants, and "Abraham's descendants" are those who obey God and believe in God!
What is an "Israelite" again? Did all descendants of Abraham obey God and believe in God? Of course not! Although Israel obeyed God and believed in God, he still couldn’t get rid of greed and deceit (original sin) in his life. Jacob’s life was really bad, but he wrestled with God’s messenger. In the end, God’s messenger helped Jacob change his name to Israel, therefore, Jacob has a new name and a new life called Israel. And the real meaning of "Israel" is: we have overcome sin and gained a new life! Why is there another "Judah"? The "Judahs" are the tribe that God chose to inherit the king, and the Judahs are eligible to be kings is God's promise to King David! What does this mean? Not every person who belongs to God has the "promise of the king", but only "a person who conforms to God's heart like King David" can be a king! Therefore, when we read the Bible, we must read the "truth" that the Bible tells us, and not distort God's will according to the nonsense of those who interpret the Bible!
"Sons of Abraham" = "those who obey God and believe in God"! "Israeli people" = "people who are saved and reborn, willing to get rid of past sins"! "Jews" = "Only those who conform to God's heart can have the king's promise"! The "Bible" has never contradicted, and the contradictions in the Bible are people's wrong interpretation of the Bible! Does the Bible have a "caste system"? The Bible is completely against the "caste system"! The Bible says: God will reward everyone according to what they have done! No matter who your father or mother is? God judges people absolutely by repaying each of us according to what we have done! I have always believed that what you sow causes, what you reap! Through the precious blood of Jesus, God has given us the promise of going to heaven, but we still have to pay a "painful price" for the "evil" we have done! I have also been paying the price for my past "mistakes"! "Retribution" may not be what we imagined, but each of us will pay the price for each of our "evil deeds", this is the "truth"!
"Absolution" does not mean that we will not be punished! And "Jesus' forgiveness" is: after we are punished, we still have "the hope of eternal life"! We often see many people sentenced to death after being punished! Because although they paid the price for their mistakes, they still have no future. This is India's "caste system", and "untouchables" will always be "untouchables"! But when a person commits a crime and is sentenced, his life is over. Christianity is not such a religion! Christianity is a religion that emphasizes "confession and repentance"! We can all become "Israelites", not only can we become "Israelites", we also have the hope of "King", our descendants are all eligible to become "Jews", and we all have the hope of God's promised King! As long as we conform to God's will like King David, our descendants have the hope of a king! Is it as hard as King David? Read the Bible, and you will understand that King David is just like me...a bunch of shortcomings, a bunch of weaknesses, the only thing that makes King David different from me is: his "faith" in God! I'm really ashamed of myself! I believe that your "confidence" is greater than mine, let us work together!
