Scripture Reading: Galatians 3:28: “

Saul was in his youth a member of the Jews’ religion (Judaism) and “…persecuted the church of God and wasted it” (Galatians 1:13). But when it pleased God to reveal His Son to Paul, that he might preach among the lost tribes of the former divorced House of Israel, Paul, to prepare for this task, spent three years in Damascus and Arabia. From there he thwarted an attempt to murder him by the Jews in Damascus, and went to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him for fifteen days (Galatians 1:18) until he escaped another plot by the Jews to murder him. He then went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia for about five years. (Galatians 1:21). Saul later was found by Barnabas in Tarsus and was brought to the church in Antioch, Syria, where they both taught for over a year. It was to Antioch in Syria that a host of Christian Judeans in Jerusalem and nearby areas fled after the death of Stephen.

The Biggest Error of Christian America

Most ministers call Abraham a “Jew” without justification or Scriptural evidence. Preachers refer to Moses and the ancient Israelites who came out of Egypt as “Jews.” Why? It is because they are taught to do so in their colleges and seminaries (controlled by jews). The book of Exodus calls them Israelites, the House of Jacob, Hebrews, Israel, and the children of Israel. Never are any of this race called “Jews.”
