*Daily Dose – Eddy Joel Silsbee*
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
God said that everyone who believes and accepts Jesus can become a child of God. Jn 1:12
Jews were not to associate for anything with Non-Jewish (Gentiles). They were also commanded not to marry or have any relationship with them. Deu 7: 3, Exo 34:15-16
While, Jesus Christ fulfilled the law (given to Israelites) on the cross. (10+603=613 commandments given through law of Moses). He completed the law and established/signed the New Testament / New Command / New Agreement for everyone in the world, including Israelites. Rom 10: 4, Jer 31:31, 2 Cor 3: 6; Heb 8:6-13, 9:15, 10:16-17, 12:24, 13:20
We are living under that new age / Testament / New Covenant period.
It reminds us everytime when we partake grape juice at the Lord's Supper. 1 Cor 11:25
Thus, it is a betrayal of God's command to see the difference between (mostly in India) the upper caste, lower caste, my caste, my sect even - in defiance of the Lord's command to accept all in the New Testament age which does not show any difference! Matt 28: 19-20
Anyone is baptised, he(she) becomes a *Christian*.
Not with any caste added to it.
You would see many carry their caste identity along with their names for their recognition of their origin among their society. This is against the crucifixion of Christ and the love of the Father. Ephesians 2:14-18, Galatians 3:28, Isaiah 65:5, Luke 7: 29-30.
Scripture says that we put on Christ after we are baptized. Galatians 3:27
God has made it an integral part of the body of Christ. Acts 2:47, Romans 12: 5
So how can those who wrap themselves in Christ identify themselves as a different race by being a part of the body of Christ?
Yes .... as a wholesome, those who are in Christianity cannot identify themselves with any caste. Because caste is the doctrine of Hindus.
Identify and discard the flaws that have so far gone unnoticed - and return to Christianity.
It is Christ who gives us the highest sign of life, honor, success and life among the people.
People see Christ, not us. Col. 3:11, Galatians 3:16, 2:20
