Topic: Gentiles



  
 Gentile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In English translations of the Bible the word gentiles is most commonly used as a translation of the Hebrew word goyim (plural of Goy/גוי); in the King James Version the first and only such use in the Pentateuch is in the book of Genesis 10:5.
As such, this word is not appropriately applied to Jews, although LDS members often colloquially referred to Jews as "Gentiles" because they were not members of the LDS Church.
Christian translators of the Bible use this word in the meaning of non-Israelite, to collectively designate the peoples and nations distinct from the Israelite people; the word is used that way over 130 times in the King James Version of the Bible.

 JewishEncyclopedia.com - GENTILE:
This refers to a Gentile who accepted the seven laws of the Noachidæ, inasmuch as "the Sabbath is a sign between God and Israel alone," and it was probably directed against the Christian Jews, who disregarded the Mosaic laws and yet at that time kept up the observance of the Jewish Sabbath.
Intermarriage is not countenanced by modern Judaism; but this is not due to contempt for the Gentiles, but to the conviction that unity of religion is essential to the happiness of the home.
Hence the Talmud prohibited the teaching to a Gentile of the Torah, "the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob" (Deut.

 TIMES OF THE GENTILES
The gentiles were resorted to in the endeavours of the apostles and their Gospel preaching to provoke the Jews to come back to God in jealousy.
They also propose that the "times of the gentiles" can alternatively be called the church age, since the church is in the alleged GAP between the 69th and 70th weeks of Daniel, when Jews are blinded, and the city of Jerusalem continues to be dominated by the gentiles.
Gentiles and Jews both are baptized into one Body of Christ for the time after the cross until the resurrection.

 G
For the ancient Church of God a Gentile was any person not a party to the New Covenant including the Essenes, Pharisees, Sadducees, other Jews, and non-Jews.
For the apostles the Jews of their day had become Gentiles (goyim) as they had rejected the Messiah and the New Covenant and were strangers in the sense they were not parties to the New Covenant.
During the first century, as understood by Jews, a Gentile or a goi or goy (GO·ee) was literally a tribe, nation or people, or any person not a party to the Mosaic covenant.

 The Times of The Gentiles
Gentile oppression over Jerusalem culminates with the Antichrist exalting himself as he takes his seat in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself as being God (2Thes 2:4).
When Christ returns, the gentile nations are judged on the basis of their treatment of God's covenant people Israel, during the time of the Tribulation period (Matthew 25:31-46).
Based on Scriptural revelation the "times of the Gentiles" began when national Israel, because of her relentless idolatry and disobedience, was sent into exile, by God, to Babylon, causing Israel to no longer be the "head" but the "tail," as Moses worded it in Deu.

 GENTILES - Holman Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org
Nevertheless, in New Testament thought, the church made up of Jew and Gentile was the holy nation, God's own people (1 Peter 2:9).
The New Testament records the repetitions in prayer by the Gentiles (Matthew 6:7), their occupation with material concerns (Matthew 6:32), their raging against the Lord (Acts 4:25), and their domineering rulers (Matthew 20:25).
Jesus' ministry is interpreted in the Gospels in terms of Old Testament expectations for the Gentiles.

 The Feeding of the 4,000 — Were They Gentiles?
To say that one has to be a Gentile to glorify the God of Israel is devoid of all reason.
The only argument Gundry gives that the 4,000 were Gentiles is that they glorified the God of Israel.
Together then with the preceding Gentile woman and, earlier, the centurion and the Magi, they represent the great mass of Gentiles who are flocking into the church of Matthew’s time.

 Gentiles - CWS Talk! - ChristianWebSite.com
The word Gentiles means the nations, and eventually came to be used to mean all those not of the house of Israel.
The first gentiles to come into the New Testament Church were those who had already become proselytes to Judaism.
Cornelius (Acts 10 - 11) was the first gentile of whom we have record who came into the Christian Church without first being a proselyte to Judaism.

 Has the Time of the Gentiles Passed?
The day shall come when Gentile ears are stopped up, when Gentile hearts remain hopelessly hardened against God, when Gentile rebellion against God manifests itself unceasingly and without shame, and when the gospel proclaimed by the apostles is no longer of any interest to any appreciable portion of people among the Gentiles.
Universal repentance will come upon Israel after the "fullness of the Gentiles has come in." In other words, Paul interprets the prophetic outline like this: God has turned from the Jews as a people and is not working primarily among the Jews to sanctify them.
But the day will come when the full complement of those Gentiles whom God is going to save will have come to faith.

 Did Jesus Exclude Gentiles?
The Gentiles were ripe for harvesting, and so the priestly fathers apparently appended the following verses to the end of Matthew's gospel: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." (Matthew 28:19-20).
The gentiles were the superstitious pagans of Palestine, Asia Minor, and parts thereabouts; they were steeped in belief in all the fables of all the gods of the heathen world.
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

 Gentiles in the Messianic Movement
In the case of a Gentile man married to a Jewish woman, it is clear that maintaining the identity of the chil-dren is a significant goal.
Finally, there are Gentiles who have joined the Messianic movement out of a desire to minister faith in Yeshua as contextually relevant to Jews.
Jews and Gentiles must remain authentic in their own identity or the unity Of the Body of the Messiah cannot be seen.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Was it fitting that Christ should suffer at the hands of the Gentiles, or rather of the Jews?
Afterwards, by the preaching of Jews, Christ's Passion passed on to the Gentiles.
But the Jews sinned in His death, on whose behalf it is said (Matthew 21:38): "This is the heir; come, let us kill him." It seems fitting, therefore, that the Gentiles should not be implicated in the sin of Christ's slaying.
Therefore neither ought Christ's Passion, which was a true sacrifice, to be fulfilled at the hands of the Gentiles.

 The Gentiles Are Included
So the beneficiaries of promise – the true Israel – come into being not first by their physical descent, or ethnic connections, or even by their faith, but by God’s "call." Now Paul is picking up in verse 24 where he left off in verses 6-13.
That is what Paul is saying in verse 24: By faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah, Gentiles are included in the true Israel.
People "from the Jews" – that’s the same point as verse 6: Some but not all who are descended "from Israel" are true Israel, that is, are "called" to be vessels of mercy.

 Paul's Office as Apostle to the Gentiles
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God; and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed (Acts 13:46-48).
He claims a calling that antedates the call of Jesus to the Twelve, as the light for the Gentiles quotation comes from Isaiah 49:6 (this is applied to Jesus in Luke 2:32) and Paul saw it as a special commission directed to him, and perhaps also to Barnabas.
Then the Lord appeared to a disciple at Damascus, Ananias by name, and sent him to Paul that he might regain his sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

However, Gentiles notice that various branches of Judaism and the various rabbis within those branches have various teachings; there is no mechanism in Judaism — such as the Papacy in Roman Catholicism — to enforce a uniformity of beliefs or to vacate past articles of faith.

 Gentiles to provoke Israel to jealousy
Israel’s present rejection and fall is a curse to Israel but a blessing to Gentiles because "through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles." During this present church age, the great majority of those who are members of the body of Christ are Gentiles (though we thank God for the Jewish exceptions!).
When the Jews rejected their Messiah, God had the good of the Gentiles in mind and salvation was brought to them (Rom.
These are blessings which the Jewish people should possess but they forfeited these things because of unbelief, and these are blessings which the church (made up mostly of Gentiles) now possesses and enjoys in Christ.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Gentiles
The basis of this distinction is that, as descendants of Abraham, the Jews considered themselves, and were in fact, before the coming of Christ, the chosen people of God.
As the non-Jewish nations did not worship the true God and generally indulged in immoral practices, the term Gôyîm "Gentiles" has often times in the Sacred Writings, in the Talmud, etc., a disparaging meaning.
Since the spread of Christianity, the word Gentiles designates, in theological parlance, those who are neither Jews nor Christians.

The Torah maintains that the righteous Gentiles of all nations (those observing the Seven Laws of Noah, listed below) have a place in the World to Come.  But not all religious Gentiles earn eternal life by virtue of observing their religion:
According to Torah tradition, God gave Noah and his family seven commandments to observe when he saved them from the flood.  These commandments, referred to as the Noahic or Noahide commandments, are learned by tradition but also suggested in Genesis Chapter 9, and are as follows:
In general, Jews do not try to convert non-Jews to Judaism.  In fact, according to halakhah (Jewish Law), rabbis are supposed to make three vigorous attempts to dissuade a person who wants to convert to Judaism.

See s(w)e- in Appendix I. When it is said in a Middle English text written before 1400 that a part of a temple fell down and “mad a gret distruccione of ethnykis,” one wonders why ethnics were singled out for death.
The word ethnic in this context, however, means “gentile,” coming as it does from the Greek adjective ethnikos, meaning “national, foreign, gentile.” The adjective is derived from the noun ethnos, “people, nation, foreign people,” that in the plural phrase ta ethn

 Killing Gentiles Is Forbidden
The Bible says that a murderer is only executed if he kills his "fellow" and by being parts of very different communities a gentile is not the "fellow" of a Jew.
We now see that the G-d-fearers, the "good" among the gentiles, were doing battle with the Jews.
A Jew who killed a righteous gentile is not executed in a court of law as it says (Exodus 21:14) "If a man shall act intentionall against his fellow..." [and a gentile is not considered a fellow] and even more so that he is not executed for killing an unrighteous gentile.
