Окото е светило на тялото; и тъй, ако окото ти е здраво цялото ти тяло ще бъде осветено; но ако окото ти е болнаво, то цялото ти тяло ще бъде помрачено

какво означава здраво око и болно око ?

Аз съм си мислела "начин на възприятие", ценностна система.

начин ан възприятие на какво.
ценностна система относно какво?
какво е тялото, ако окото е възприятието ни?

Ники пак почваш да я зачепкваш

Като поставяш по този начин въпроса има може би много повече от 1 отговор.

Но първо да ти кажа за ценностната система- ами ти знаеш за каква ценностна система говоря. Тази на отделната личност.Относно това как възприемаш Бог, себе си и околните. И съответно на базата на какво е изградена тази система- дали на Божието Слово (хайде и аз да се включа сега с това) или на някакви други "основи"- какво казала майка ти, баща ти, тетка ти, Ошо, Буда, Достоевски и т.н.
Ако окото е възприятието ти- тялото е личността ти.

Другaта тема, която можем да развием е това за Тялото- Църквата и Окото -Лидерите(пророците). Ама нещо не ми се подхваща тая, че пак ще стигна до ГБlol

значи за да не се отклоним искам да видим контекста на думите на Исус - той говори за пари. В този контекст Той казва - ако окото ти е здраво... ако окото ти е болно ...

защо око, а не сърце ?

разчепквам ги, защото ми се струват малко странни думите на Исус, малко странно звучи това "ако окото ти е болно" - поне на български звучи странно да се говори по този начин за духовно отношение към парите ....

други мнения ?

Здравейте !

Аз не мисля, че контекста за парите е пряко свързан с думите за "окото", които следват в текста на Матея 6 гл. Цялата глава е "разпределена" на откъси, в които Исус говори конкретно за нещо. Например от 1 до 4 стих разяснява на учениците си смисълът на милостинята. После от 5 до 13 обяснява за молитвата, 14-15 за прошката, 16-18 за постенето, 19-21 за парите и от 22 до 23 за окото, а от 24 надолу за отдаването живота на християните в служение на Бога с неразделено сърце спрямо богатството на света и без безпокойство за ежедневните нужди!
Така че "окото", според мен е правилния начин на възприемане на всичко, настроено според Божиите критерии за правилно и неправилно и "заверено" в нас чрез Неговия Дух, даден ни за това! Ако виждаме нещата така, както и Исус ги вижда, тогава цялостното ни изграждане като Негови послесдователи ще е правилно като преобразени в Образа Му! Но ако не е ...тогава и изграждането ни като такива ще е изкривено. Дори в определени моменти бихме си представяли съвсем различен Исус Христос, от който Истинският коренно се различава. Аналогично се отнася и за нас! А това е опасно положение! Затова е и това предупреждение за "окото". Бог да ни помага!

Поздрави!

Начинът, по който възприемаш и оценяваш нещата, определя как ще постъпиш.
Исус говори за отношение към вършене на праведни дела, молитви, пари и пр. И в този контекст вмъква сентенцията за здравото и болно око.
В частност за парите: ако ти възприемаш материалните си нужди като неразрешим проблем, то ти ще се тревожиш постоянно за това и няма да можеш да повярваш, че можеш да се справиш, уповавайки на Бога. Това е себеоценъчната част. Относно Бога, то ти ако вярваш, че Той е верен да не те остави да умреш от глад и студ, то ти ще можеш да повярваш, че Той ще се грижи винаги (не включвам глупости от сорта ? няма да работим, Бог ще ни снабдява на вересия).
Но тук според мен има още един момент ? парите дават сигурност. Бог също дава сигурност, но тогава, когато Той е цел и смисъл на живота ти. Ако материалното благополучие не е жизниноважен елемент за теб (това е за вярващия), то тогава приоритетът ти е друг, т.е Бог. За много хора парите са Бог..
В заключение ще кажа, че за мен Исус не говори толкова за това какво да се прави и какво не, а за отношение към човека, Бога и света. От закона (правила и забрани), Той ни пренася към завет на вяра, от която следват съответни дела. Това е здравото око ? да виждаш и възприемаш света, Бога и себе си по начина, по който Исус ни учи. А болното око е грешното възприятие, което води до погрешни постъпки, дори да се виждат ?себеправедни?.

Това за окото е паралел или ако дадено нещо , химикал, не може да увреди зеницата наи чуствителното и слабо място на тялото, то е безопасно и за останалата част от кожата.

Ако не си пожелал нещо което ти харесва(?) значи не греши (тялото), може да се разгледа и по подробно стиха но трябва да се замисля.[addsig]

Може и извън контекста да е това което ще кажа. Окото са Господните служители, Тялото е църквата. Ако окото ти е болнаво - цялото Тяло ще бъде помрачено.

Поздрави

Значи благодаря на всички, които се включиха. Искам да ви изповядам, че абсолютно самоцелно поставих тази тема и то именно за да напишете точно тези ваши мнения.
Мненията ви не са погрешни. Казвате всъщност верни неща. Но всички те са твърде силни тълкувания на един иначе прост текст.

Френд 7 например раздели думите на Исус за окото от тези за богатството, които ги предшестват и от тези за мамон, които ги следват веднага след това, без да има друго основание или причина, освен достъпното му тълкуване за това какво според него е окото в случая - а именно символ на някакво "правилно виждане за нещата по принцип". В компанията на останалите адски конкретни поучения на Исус в този откъс от Матей (както Френд каза - молитва, прошка, пост, пари), това неопределено "правилно виждане" стои малко странно, не казвам невъзможно, но все пак странно. Исус говори за съкровища, за пари, после изведнъж говори за очи - т.е. според общоприетото виждане за "правилно виждане за нещата по принцип" - и накрая пак говори много ясно и силно пак за пари - за мамон и двамата господари. Някак си неубедително звучи, при толкова конкретни поучения (Исус май винаги говори много по-конкретно от нас нали?) изведнъж Исус да направи лирическо философско отклонение и да говори по принцип за убежденията и мирогледа на човека.

Лена после с други думи, казва същото - т.е. че поучението на Исус е глобално и обхващащо цялостния мироглед на човека.

Богоизбрания каза нещо за някакви химикали, че ако не увредят окото, и тялото няма да могат. И после говори за пожелание и че ако го няма и тялото не съгрешавало чрез окото. Нещо не го разбрах съвсем. Т.е. малко вероятно е Исус толкова сложно да ги говори ...

И накрая Леон разбира се излиза извън контекста за да алегоризира целия текст. Де факто обаче всички преди него също го алегоризираха по свой начин.

Ок, сега ще кажа какво според мен значи този текст и ще кажа и мотивите си да повдигна цялата тема.

Изразът "болно/здраво око" е де факто чисто еврейски израз. Да имаш болно, или зло око - "айн ра'а" значи да си стиснат, да си циция. Да имаш здраво око, или добро око - "айн това" означава да си щедър. Когато вземем това предвид изведнъж целият текст се отваря. Става ясно и просто.

А сега мотивите ми - всички знаете, че аз винаги застъпвам това, че ние сме присадени към тлъстия корен на една прастара маслина. С тази обикновена тема исках да покажа, как ако помним корените си, ако знаем, че макар и писали на гръцки евангелистите де факто са мислели на еврейски, може би много тесктове ще ни станат по-ясни ... и може би също по-дълбоко и по-чисто бихме разбрали собствената си вяра. Ние приятели, сме загубили корените си... а от това сме загубили много...

разбира се някои ще кажат "това е само един текст и то не много важен" ... ок, съгласен съм - но видяхте ли как, като не вземем предвид, че именно евреи са медиумът чрез който е дошъл този текст, ние де факто не го разбираме простичко и ясно както те са го разбирали ... трудно ли е тогава да си представим, че ако ние продължаваме да пренебрегваме еврейските корени на нашия Нов Завет е възможно да преиначаваме или просто да пропускаме и много по-важни неща ??

поздрав на всички и ви благодаря

Nili_B,
Това означава ли, че Божието слово не може да ни говори на всеки един от нас поотделно - различни неща?
Вярно, ако гледаме историята зад текста ще видим за кого и с каква цел е написан; ама къде отива ОТКРОВЕНИЕТО - това което Бог иска да КАЖЕ НА МЕНЕ И НА ТЕБЕ, ДНЕСКА В 21 ВЕК? Един стих от Божието слово не казва само едно нещо. Гърците са го разбирали по един начин, Евреите по друг, Българите по 3-ти начин. И знаеш ли, интересното е, че по който и начин да са го разбирали - ТО Е ПРОМЕНИЛО ЖИВОТА ИМ (за добро).
Сега, признавам, че това крие ОГРОМНА опастност от това да четеме текста и да "четеме" това, което ни се иска да четеме. Тука трябва да сме МНОГО внимателни.
Но също както трябва да обръщаме внимание на историята зад текста, така трябва да видим как можем ние да е приложим в 21 век във България.
За да подкрепя това което искам да кажа прочетете Ефесяни 1:17 "дано Бог на нашия Господ Исус Христос, славният Отец, ви даде дух на мъдрост и на откровение, за да Го познаете ..." А как да познаваме по-добре Бога? Като четеме Словото Му - как да четеме? Като се молим за дух на МЪДРОСТ и ОТКРОВЕНИЕ .....

niki_b, благодаря ти за разяснението. Аз винаги много съм обичала да се разчита Библията съобразно значението й на иврит. Обаче като нямам достъп до иврит, нито до гръцкия поне, се опитвам според нашия текст.
Може би заради това с Библията се получава такова свободно тълкуване често.

Като се позоваваш на автори като Rachel Ehrenfeld, защо не четеш и други мнения по въпроса:
Palestine in the Bible
What does the Bible say about Palestine and the Palestinian people ?
Equal to Israel;
"Do you Israelites think you are more important to me than the Ethiopians ?" asks the LORD. "I brought you out of Egypt, but have I not done as much for other nations, too? I brought the Philistines from Crete and led the Arameans out of Kir" Amos 9:7

Abraham stayed a long time there;
" And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines." Ge 21:34
David got protection there;
"But David kept thinking to himself, "Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing for me to do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me, and I will finally be safe."" 1 Samuel 27:1
More righteous than Isaac;
"king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife. So Abim'elech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'" Abim'elech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us." (Genesis 26:6-11)

Palestinians are the Judges of Israel;
"These were the nations: the Philistines (those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the hill country of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath. These people were left to test the Israelites ? to see whether they would obey the commands the LORD had given to their ancestors through Moses." Judges 3:3-4
"And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years." Jud 15:20

Israel Given to the Palestinians;
"And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you." 1Samuel 15:28, and (jos 13:1)

Israel Sold To Palestinians;
"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites" Jos 10:7


In conclusion, God in the Bible favored Palestine more than Israel
The Laws of Moses Broken by occupying Palestine
Israelis are quick to exert the Concept that all of Israel belongs to them as G-d promised, while the Israelis focus on this ancient conditional promise given to Abraham, they ignore the More concrete unconditional Commandments given to Moses.
The Laws of God are being trampled on with no remorse by the Israelis;
"You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. Le 19:13

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's." Ex 20:17
"'Cursed be he who slays his neighbor in secret.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' De 27:24
"Him who slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. The man of haughty looks and arrogant heart I will not endure." Ps 101:5
"Do not plan evil against your neighbor who dwells trustingly beside you." Pr 3:29
"Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing, and does not give him his wages; " Jer 22:13
The commandments Thou shall not kill, lie, steel are all broken, the Israelis spit upon the Laws of God as well as international laws regarding Palestinian land. In conclusion, their claim of a God given right to commit the oppression they exert against the Palestinians is another one in their scroll against God and their neighbors.
The Conditional Promised Land ?

The Israelis claim that they have a God given right to take all the land in Israel. Is this true ? Let's examine the Bible for the factual answers;
First God makes the unconditional promise to Abraham's descendants, What Israelis overlook is that Abraham had more than one son;
?The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis12. Then in verse 6 and 7 we further read ?Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." (Not Isaac, not Ishmael, Both "Your offspring" (i.e. plural; your children)

This is also clearly seen in Genesis 17:7-8 when God repeats his promise to Abraham after Abraham had obeyed God?s command: ?I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.?
This obviously includes Ishmael, whom the Arabs are descended from because even after Abraham died, Ismael is addressed as "Abrahams's son" in the Bible;
"Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him (Abraham) in *the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre," Genesis 25:9
Therefore, even the Bible editors recognized Ishmael as Abraham's valid son, a fact latter apologetics try to dilute.
But God made also conditional promises to the people of Israel. A conditional promise is based on the ?if-then? principle. This means that God will do or give something if the people meet certain requirements.
In his farewell speech to the Israelites, Moses repeats the pact that God made with them. This speech takes up a major part of the book of Deuteronomy. There is a whole section where God promises all types of promises if they keep His commandments and obey His Law.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says that ?If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God?? This is followed by a long list of blessings. The principle of the ?if-then? is clear here.
But starting in verse 15 of the same chapter the Lord warns Israel of the consequences of disobedience;

?However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out??

There are countless fatalities and plagues that the Lord tells Israel that it will befall on them if they disobey. For our present issue at hand verses 63 to 66 of the same chapter point to what has happened and why Israel still has a problem with the so-called promised land.

?Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess. Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods--gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.?

As there is an unconditional promise: ownership, there is a conditional promise: Israel will live in the land if she is faithful to God?s commandments and statutes. It seems that Moses?s admonitions to Israel before entered the land for the first time, are more accurate than one can imagine.
On the journey from Egypt to Israel, God killed countless Israelis for not meeting the conditions of the Promise, hence preventing them from ever living in Israel.
11 Rulers; Whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, are killed by a plague from the Lord. Num. 14:37
250 Levite princesses; of the Jews who challenged the leadership of Moses. "their wives, sons and little children were swallowed up by the ground", then sent a fire to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40
3,000 brothers and children; of Israelis "And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put every man his sword on his side, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'" And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." (Exodus 32:21-2 [note: the surviving Israelis are then told in verse 29 that they are blessed for killing their own brothers and children]
14,700; Israeli protesters killed by plague who object to Moses about the prior killing of the 250 Jewish princesses. Num 16:41-49
The entire generation of the elderly "And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed." Numbers 32 :13
When Moses passed away, the leadership of Israel fell to Joshua (Deut. 34:9). It was Joshua who was to take the people into Canaan and direct the conquering of the land. Joshua was given a charge in Joshua 1:1-9 concerning this, and in verse 4, he was told the extent of the land:

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
The readers should also take note of the condition given in verse 3 of this passage:

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given you, as I said unto Moses.
Again, it was going to be necessary for the people to "keep walking" in order to possess the land.
God also stated his condition of obedience in Joshua 1:7-9. Note especially verse 8:
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS, (emphasis CC).
Joshua began the conquering of the land with the taking of Jericho (Josh. 6) and then lost at Ai. This loss was brought about by Achan's taking of some of the possessions of Jericho (Josh. 7:1), a violation of God's will (Josh. 6:18-19; compare with Deut. 7:5). Joshua 10:40-43 shows us that Joshua had conquered the country of the hills, of the south, of the vale, and of the springs (v:40). These verses do not say that Joshua had conquered all the land of Canaan, but contextually speak of those lands he had fought against to that time.
Joshua 10:41 mentions that Joshua had conquered unto Gibeon, a land he did not take in battle but subdued in slavery, because he wrongfully made a pact with them (Josh. 9). This was a clear violation of Deuteronomy 7:2. It came about because they "asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord" (Josh. 9:14).
Joshua's conquests continued in chapter 11, and in verse 23 we are told "Joshua took the whole land." Some would cite this as showing that nothing was left that needed to be conquered. However, in context, the term "whole land" refers to that land which Joshua had done battle against. This is evident since verse 22 says that some of the Anakim still remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. Since these were not yet conquered, it follows that the "whole land" included only those lands conquered to this point, which according to Joshua 12:7 stretched from Lebanon to Edom. At this time, they rested from war and divided the land.
Of the land divided, some still needed conquering (Josh. 13:1), and this would have to be done by those who inherited the land (Josh. 13:6). In Joshua's final charge to the people, he reminded them of the condition for possession:
Take good heed unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God. Else IF YE DO IN ANY WISE GO BACK, AND CLEAVE UNTO THE REMNANT OF THESE NATIONS, EVEN THESE THAT REMAIN AMONG YOU, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they unto you: Know for a certainty that the Lord your God WILL NO MORE DRIVE OUT ANY OF THESE NATIONS FROM BEFORE YOU; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you, (Josh. 23:11-13, emphasis CC).
As Judges 1 shows, the children of Israel did not conquer all their possessions. Judges 2:1-5 explains why. Note the following:
And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: BUT YE HAVE NOT OBEYED MY VOICE: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
It is obvious that the Israelites made leagues with these people and quit fighting. Thus, they violated all conditions set forth by God: (1) they quit "walking" (Josh. 1:3), (2) they made pacts with the enemy (Deut. 7:2), and (3) they disobeyed God's commands (Deut. 8:1). Therefore, these people could not fulfill all of what God wanted done.
In conclusion, conditions and commandments were not obeyed by the Israelis, Canceling their right to live in Israel, the land is promised to them, but their occupation of the land is against the will of God. For example, an inheritance of real-estate with a list of rules you have to maintain to receive the real-estate, to live in the inherited property without meeting the rules would be illegal, according to God, it would be lethal.
"And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you." 1Samuel 15:28
Was Moses a Terrorist ?
The Zionist Media, the inventor of the "Muslim terrorist" label, as Hitler utilized the "Christ killer" stereotype, quickly video taped Palestinian children celebrating as a way to gain political points with the West.
Who is a terrorist ? By today's definition, a Terrorist is one who is against Freedom and kills a mass number of people because of their location, beliefs, or association with the terrorist's target.
With present and past definitions of the term "Terrorist", we discover in the Jewish Bible that the father of the Jews himself, Moses, was the deadliest Terrorist. Moses has terrorized a countless number of Freedom loving Jews and non-Jews, but to bring the point more to home for the Zionists, we will only list the thousands of Jews that Moses has terrorized with death;
2 Rabbis; " for offering strange fire before the Lord", two sons of Aaron, priests of the tabernacle, are struck dead. Lev 10:1-2
11 Rulers; Whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, are killed by a plague from the Lord. Num. 14:37
250 Levite princesses; of the Jews who challenged the leadership of Moses. "their wives, sons and little children were swallowed up by the ground", then sent a fire to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40
3,000 brothers and children; of Israelis "And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put every man his sword on his side, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'" And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." (Exodus 32:21-2 [note: the surviving Israelis are then told in verse 29 that they are blessed for killing their own brothers and children]
14,700; Israeli protesters killed by plague who object to Moses about the prior killing of the 250 Jewish princesses. Num 16:41-49
Moses using biological weapons on Israelis, yet the Arabs are called the terrorists
24,000; Israelites who cohabitated with Moabite women and worshiped Baal. "And the Lord said to Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun..." Num 25:4,9
70,000; Israelis for sinning "So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time; and there died of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men." (2 Samuel 24:10-17)
More biological terrorism, by terrorists from the Bible, who harbored Moses ?
This does not include the general body counts given with older Israelis who were ordered to wander the desert for 40 years to die in the wilderness Num 32:13 nor the ones stricken by a plague for building a calf Exodus 32:30-35
These may indeed boost the total figures much higher.
In Conclusion, yes, terrorism is sad and uncivil, but rather than the Zionists label and demonize Muslims as terrorists, they need only to look into their Bibles to see the worst terrorists of all, Moses, or was God using Moses? if so, what were the reasons?
The Chosen People ?
Compiled by Rick Savage
One American Jew woke up to the lie after living in the Israeli occupational state in Palestine. He put it this way:
"The American people have been led to believe that Jews are "God's chosen people." This myth was started by a small group of Jews. A few Jewish leaders took excerpts from the Bible and interpreted them to mean that God designated them as "chosen people." ...
"Leading the cry, 'We are God's Chosen People,' are the Zionist/Marxist (Ashkenazi) Jews who for political purposes chose Judaism and who don't have a drop of biblical Jewish blood in them....
"The Judeo-Christian ethic we hear so much about in America is a big joke - the result of an intense Zionist propaganda campaign.
"I'll toss in one last thought about the "God's chosen people" myth: God said, "Beware of those who call themselves Jews and are not, for they lie." Could it be the Ashkenazi Jews are the people to whom God was referring?" - Jack Bernstein, The Life of an American Jew in Racist Marxist Israel (California: The Noontide Press, 1984)
In their own writings these self-styled "Jews" tell us it is incorrect to call a contemporary "Jew" an "Israelite" or a "Hebrew." Under the heading "A Brief History of the Terms for Jew," in the 1980 Jewish Almanac, is the following:
"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a "Jew" or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew." 1980 Jewish Almanac, P.3
In "The Pharisees--The Sociological Background of Their Faith," Rabbi Louis Finkelstein describes these self-styled "Jews" and their origins:
"Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes in name...the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies..." "...rabbinic Judaism, the first-born child of Pharisaism, remains a unit until this day." (p.XXI of Forward to 1st Edition, "The Pharisees," Vol. 1, Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1938 & Vol. 2, p. 622
Jesus had quite a verbal scathing for the Pharisees in Matthew 23. He exposed them for the sort of people they were:
"Hypocrites," "sons of hell," "blind guides," "fools," "full of robbery and self-indulgence," "whitewashed tombs...full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness," "full of hypocrisy and lawlessness," "partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets," and "serpents and brood of vipers."
Not quite an endorsement by the One and Only Sovereign God, Jesus the Christ, is it? And some fools have the gall, or should we say "Chutzpah," to call Jesus a "Jew!" What blasphemy!
Professor of Medieval Jewish History, Abraham N. Poliak of Tel Aviv University, has stated:
"The large majority of world Jewry is descended from the Jews of Khazaria." (The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler (New York: Random House, 1976) p.226)
The people living in Palestine in the 20th century have no racial nor historic connection with Palestine and are, in reality, descendants from a Turko-Mongolian tribal people who created a kingdom called Khazaria which existed until the 12th century. These Khazarian "Jews" could just as easily have practiced Christianity, but for whatever reason they chose Judaism (Talmudic Pharisaism) and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Obviously, if these people have no racial, or historic connection with Palestine they have no claim to the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel or the land known as "Israel" (Palestine) today.
If this is true then there should be more evidence to support this position, and there is. The American People's Encyclopedia for 1964 at 15-292 records the following reference to Khazars:
"In the year 740 the Khazars were officially converted to Judaism. A century later they were cursed by the in-coming Slavic- speaking people and were scattered over central Europe where they were known as Jews. It is from this grouping that most German and Polish Jews are descended, and they likewise make up a considerable part of that population now found in America. The term Aschenazim is now applied to this....division."
Alfred Lilienthal writes, in What Price Israel (Henry Regenery Co., 1953):
"Perhaps the most significant mass conversion to the Judaic Faith occurred in Europe, in the 8th century A.D., and that story of the Khazars (Turko-Finnish people) is quite pertinent to the establishment of the modern state of Israel." Again, "That the Khazars are the lineal ancestors of Eastern European Jewry is a historical fact. Jewish historians and religious textbooks acknowledge the fact, though the propagandists of Jewish nationalism belittle it as pro-Arab propaganda."
Arthur Koestler's book 'The Thirteenth Tribe' (New York: Random House, Inc., 1976) blew the lid off this suppressed fact. Koestler notes,
"In the 1960's, the number of the Sephardim was estimated at 500,000. The Ashkenazim, at the same period, numbered about eleven million. Thus in common parlance, Jew is synonymous with Ashkenazi Jew."
He further states,
"For the sake of piquantry it should be mentioned that the Ashkenaz of the Bible refers to a people living somewhere in the vicinity of Mount Ararat and Armenia. The name occurs in Genesis 10:3 and 1 Chronicles 1:6 as one of the sons of Gomer, who was a son of Japheth. Ashkenaz is also a brother of Togarmah (and a nephew of Magog) whom the Khazars, according to King Joseph, claimed as their ancestor."
Koestler further quotes an early source indicating that the Khazars had some connection with Gog of the land of Magog.
"At some date earlier than 864, the Westphalian monk, Christian Druthmar of Acquitania, wrote a Latin treatise 'Esposito in Evangelium Mattei,' in which he reported that 'there exist people under the sky in regions where no Christian can be found, whose name is Gog and Magog, and who are Huns; among them is one, called the Gazari (Khazars) who are circumcised and observe Judaism in its entirety.'"
For those interested in Bible prophecy, the implications of this last sentence are staggering. Read Genesis 10:2-3 to see from whom Ashkenaz descended; notice who his relatives are. Then read Ezekiel 38 & 39. Jewish author Alfred Lilienthal further stated:
"These Ashkenazim Jews...have little or no trace of Semitic blood." - p. 222, "What Price Israel."
This is now understandable from what Koestler revealed. The Jews fully understand their Khazarian heritage as the third edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia for 1925 records:
"Chazars: a people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews of Russia." The Jewish Encyclopedia, Third Edition, 1925
There are two main "racial" branches of modern Jewry. The smaller of the two is called the Sephardim, some of whose ancestors fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and spread across North Africa to Spain. This group has been from the outset so small, in terms of a viable gene pool, and has mixed with such regularity over the centuries with the indigenous peoples wherever they lived that Dr. Raphael Patai, a leading Jewish scholar, felt compelled to write a book entitled 'The Myth of the Jewish Race' (Scribners, 1975). In reviewing an earlier work by Dr. Patai, 'Israel Between East and West,' Dr. Camille Honig, literary editor for the Voice (Jewish Voice of California, Sept. 25, 1953), stated:
"If you studied Jewish types and communities in five continents, as this writer had the opportunity of doing, you would have realized that it is sheer nonsense, and very dangerous nonsense, as well as unscientific, to speak about a Jewish race."
In a book entitled "Races in Europe", the author, William Z. Ripley, states under ethnology:
"The findings of physical anthropology show that contrary to all popular view, there is no Jewish race. "Our conclusion then is final. It is paradoxical yet true, we affirm. The Jews are not a race, but only a people after all."
Perhaps it can be understood why this is. The World Book Encyclopedia states:
"The Jews were once a sub-type of the Mediterranean race, but they have mixed with other peoples until the name Jew has lost all racial meaning."
Since the majority of people in modern Palestine and the world who call themselves "Jews" are descendants from a "Turko- Mongolian tribal people" known as Khazars, and have "little or no trace of Semitic blood in them," but are rather descendants of Ashkenaz who was one of the sons of Gomer.

Като се позоваваш на автори като Rachel Ehrenfeld, защо не четеш и други мнения по въпроса:
Palestine in the Bible.What does the Bible say about Palestine and the Palestinian people ?
Equal to Israel;
"Do you Israelites think you are more important to me than the Ethiopians ?" asks the LORD. "I brought you out of Egypt, but have I not done as much for other nations, too? I brought the Philistines from Crete and led the Arameans out of Kir" Amos 9:7

Abraham stayed a long time there;
" And Abraham sojourned many days in the land of the Philistines." Ge 21:34
David got protection there;
"But David kept thinking to himself, "Someday Saul is going to get me. The best thing for me to do is escape to the Philistines. Then Saul will stop hunting for me, and I will finally be safe."" 1 Samuel 27:1
More righteous than Isaac;
"king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac fondling Rebekah his wife. So Abim'elech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, she is your wife; how then could you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I thought, 'Lest I die because of her.'" Abim'elech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us." (Genesis 26:6-11)

Palestinians are the Judges of Israel;
"These were the nations: the Philistines (those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the hill country of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath. These people were left to test the Israelites ? to see whether they would obey the commands the LORD had given to their ancestors through Moses." Judges 3:3-4
"And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years." Jud 15:20

Israel Given to the Palestinians;
"And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you." 1Samuel 15:28, and (jos 13:1)

Israel Sold To Palestinians;
"And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites" Jos 10:7


In conclusion, God in the Bible favored Palestine more than Israel
The Laws of Moses Broken by occupying Palestine
Israelis are quick to exert the Concept that all of Israel belongs to them as G-d promised, while the Israelis focus on this ancient conditional promise given to Abraham, they ignore the More concrete unconditional Commandments given to Moses.
The Laws of God are being trampled on with no remorse by the Israelis;
"You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. Le 19:13

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's." Ex 20:17
"'Cursed be he who slays his neighbor in secret.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' De 27:24
"Him who slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. The man of haughty looks and arrogant heart I will not endure." Ps 101:5
"Do not plan evil against your neighbor who dwells trustingly beside you." Pr 3:29
"Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms by injustice; who makes his neighbor serve him for nothing, and does not give him his wages; " Jer 22:13
The commandments Thou shall not kill, lie, steel are all broken, the Israelis spit upon the Laws of God as well as international laws regarding Palestinian land. In conclusion, their claim of a God given right to commit the oppression they exert against the Palestinians is another one in their scroll against God and their neighbors.
The Conditional Promised Land ?
The Israelis claim that they have a God given right to take all the land in Israel. Is this true ? Let's examine the Bible for the factual answers;
First God makes the unconditional promise to Abraham's descendants, What Israelis overlook is that Abraham had more than one son;
?The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis12. Then in verse 6 and 7 we further read ?Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." (Not Isaac, not Ishmael, Both "Your offspring" (i.e. plural; your children)

This is also clearly seen in Genesis 17:7-8 when God repeats his promise to Abraham after Abraham had obeyed God?s command: ?I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.?
This obviously includes Ishmael, whom the Arabs are descended from because even after Abraham died, Ismael is addressed as "Abrahams's son" in the Bible;
"Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him (Abraham) in *the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre," Genesis 25:9
Therefore, even the Bible editors recognized Ishmael as Abraham's valid son, a fact latter apologetics try to dilute.
But God made also conditional promises to the people of Israel. A conditional promise is based on the ?if-then? principle. This means that God will do or give something if the people meet certain requirements.
In his farewell speech to the Israelites, Moses repeats the pact that God made with them. This speech takes up a major part of the book of Deuteronomy. There is a whole section where God promises all types of promises if they keep His commandments and obey His Law.
Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says that ?If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God?? This is followed by a long list of blessings. The principle of the ?if-then? is clear here.
But starting in verse 15 of the same chapter the Lord warns Israel of the consequences of disobedience;

?However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you: You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out??

There are countless fatalities and plagues that the Lord tells Israel that it will befall on them if they disobey. For our present issue at hand verses 63 to 66 of the same chapter point to what has happened and why Israel still has a problem with the so-called promised land.

?Just as it pleased the LORD to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess. Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods--gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known. Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.?

As there is an unconditional promise: ownership, there is a conditional promise: Israel will live in the land if she is faithful to God?s commandments and statutes. It seems that Moses?s admonitions to Israel before entered the land for the first time, are more accurate than one can imagine.
On the journey from Egypt to Israel, God killed countless Israelis for not meeting the conditions of the Promise, hence preventing them from ever living in Israel.
11 Rulers; Whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, are killed by a plague from the Lord. Num. 14:37
250 Levite princesses; of the Jews who challenged the leadership of Moses. "their wives, sons and little children were swallowed up by the ground", then sent a fire to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40
3,000 brothers and children; of Israelis "And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put every man his sword on his side, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'" And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." (Exodus 32:21-2 [note: the surviving Israelis are then told in verse 29 that they are blessed for killing their own brothers and children]
14,700; Israeli protesters killed by plague who object to Moses about the prior killing of the 250 Jewish princesses. Num 16:41-49
The entire generation of the elderly "And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed." Numbers 32 :13
When Moses passed away, the leadership of Israel fell to Joshua (Deut. 34:9). It was Joshua who was to take the people into Canaan and direct the conquering of the land. Joshua was given a charge in Joshua 1:1-9 concerning this, and in verse 4, he was told the extent of the land:

From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
The readers should also take note of the condition given in verse 3 of this passage:

Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given you, as I said unto Moses.
Again, it was going to be necessary for the people to "keep walking" in order to possess the land.
God also stated his condition of obedience in Joshua 1:7-9. Note especially verse 8:
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: FOR THEN THOU SHALT MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS, AND THEN THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS, (emphasis CC).
Joshua began the conquering of the land with the taking of Jericho (Josh. 6) and then lost at Ai. This loss was brought about by Achan's taking of some of the possessions of Jericho (Josh. 7:1), a violation of God's will (Josh. 6:18-19; compare with Deut. 7:5). Joshua 10:40-43 shows us that Joshua had conquered the country of the hills, of the south, of the vale, and of the springs (v:40). These verses do not say that Joshua had conquered all the land of Canaan, but contextually speak of those lands he had fought against to that time.
Joshua 10:41 mentions that Joshua had conquered unto Gibeon, a land he did not take in battle but subdued in slavery, because he wrongfully made a pact with them (Josh. 9). This was a clear violation of Deuteronomy 7:2. It came about because they "asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lord" (Josh. 9:14).
Joshua's conquests continued in chapter 11, and in verse 23 we are told "Joshua took the whole land." Some would cite this as showing that nothing was left that needed to be conquered. However, in context, the term "whole land" refers to that land which Joshua had done battle against. This is evident since verse 22 says that some of the Anakim still remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. Since these were not yet conquered, it follows that the "whole land" included only those lands conquered to this point, which according to Joshua 12:7 stretched from Lebanon to Edom. At this time, they rested from war and divided the land.
Of the land divided, some still needed conquering (Josh. 13:1), and this would have to be done by those who inherited the land (Josh. 13:6). In Joshua's final charge to the people, he reminded them of the condition for possession:
Take good heed unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God. Else IF YE DO IN ANY WISE GO BACK, AND CLEAVE UNTO THE REMNANT OF THESE NATIONS, EVEN THESE THAT REMAIN AMONG YOU, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they unto you: Know for a certainty that the Lord your God WILL NO MORE DRIVE OUT ANY OF THESE NATIONS FROM BEFORE YOU; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you, (Josh. 23:11-13, emphasis CC).
As Judges 1 shows, the children of Israel did not conquer all their possessions. Judges 2:1-5 explains why. Note the following:
And an angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you. And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: BUT YE HAVE NOT OBEYED MY VOICE: why have ye done this? Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
It is obvious that the Israelites made leagues with these people and quit fighting. Thus, they violated all conditions set forth by God: (1) they quit "walking" (Josh. 1:3), (2) they made pacts with the enemy (Deut. 7:2), and (3) they disobeyed God's commands (Deut. 8:1). Therefore, these people could not fulfill all of what God wanted done.
In conclusion, conditions and commandments were not obeyed by the Israelis, Canceling their right to live in Israel, the land is promised to them, but their occupation of the land is against the will of God. For example, an inheritance of real-estate with a list of rules you have to maintain to receive the real-estate, to live in the inherited property without meeting the rules would be illegal, according to God, it would be lethal.
"And Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you." 1Samuel 15:28
Was Moses a Terrorist ?
The Zionist Media, the inventor of the "Muslim terrorist" label, as Hitler utilized the "Christ killer" stereotype, quickly video taped Palestinian children celebrating as a way to gain political points with the West.
Who is a terrorist ? By today's definition, a Terrorist is one who is against Freedom and kills a mass number of people because of their location, beliefs, or association with the terrorist's target.
With present and past definitions of the term "Terrorist", we discover in the Jewish Bible that the father of the Jews himself, Moses, was the deadliest Terrorist. Moses has terrorized a countless number of Freedom loving Jews and non-Jews, but to bring the point more to home for the Zionists, we will only list the thousands of Jews that Moses has terrorized with death;
2 Rabbis; " for offering strange fire before the Lord", two sons of Aaron, priests of the tabernacle, are struck dead. Lev 10:1-2
11 Rulers; Whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land, are killed by a plague from the Lord. Num. 14:37
250 Levite princesses; of the Jews who challenged the leadership of Moses. "their wives, sons and little children were swallowed up by the ground", then sent a fire to consume the remaining princes. Num. 16:1-40
3,000 brothers and children; of Israelis "And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Put every man his sword on his side, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.'" And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men." (Exodus 32:21-2 [note: the surviving Israelis are then told in verse 29 that they are blessed for killing their own brothers and children]
14,700; Israeli protesters killed by plague who object to Moses about the prior killing of the 250 Jewish princesses. Num 16:41-49
Moses using biological weapons on Israelis, yet the Arabs are called the terrorists
24,000; Israelites who cohabitated with Moabite women and worshiped Baal. "And the Lord said to Moses, take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun..." Num 25:4,9
70,000; Israelis for sinning "So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time; and there died of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men." (2 Samuel 24:10-17)
More biological terrorism, by terrorists from the Bible, who harbored Moses ?
This does not include the general body counts given with older Israelis who were ordered to wander the desert for 40 years to die in the wilderness Num 32:13 nor the ones stricken by a plague for building a calf Exodus 32:30-35
These may indeed boost the total figures much higher.
In Conclusion, yes, terrorism is sad and uncivil, but rather than the Zionists label and demonize Muslims as terrorists, they need only to look into their Bibles to see the worst terrorists of all, Moses, or was God using Moses? if so, what were the reasons?
The Chosen People ?
Compiled by Rick Savage
One American Jew woke up to the lie after living in the Israeli occupational state in Palestine. He put it this way:
"The American people have been led to believe that Jews are "God's chosen people." This myth was started by a small group of Jews. A few Jewish leaders took excerpts from the Bible and interpreted them to mean that God designated them as "chosen people." ...
"Leading the cry, 'We are God's Chosen People,' are the Zionist/Marxist (Ashkenazi) Jews who for political purposes chose Judaism and who don't have a drop of biblical Jewish blood in them....
"The Judeo-Christian ethic we hear so much about in America is a big joke - the result of an intense Zionist propaganda campaign.
"I'll toss in one last thought about the "God's chosen people" myth: God said, "Beware of those who call themselves Jews and are not, for they lie." Could it be the Ashkenazi Jews are the people to whom God was referring?" - Jack Bernstein, The Life of an American Jew in Racist Marxist Israel (California: The Noontide Press, 1984)
In their own writings these self-styled "Jews" tell us it is incorrect to call a contemporary "Jew" an "Israelite" or a "Hebrew." Under the heading "A Brief History of the Terms for Jew," in the 1980 Jewish Almanac, is the following:

Jesus had quite a verbal scathing for the Pharisees in Matthew 23. He exposed them for the sort of people they were:
"Hypocrites," "sons of hell," "blind guides," "fools," "full of robbery and self-indulgence," "whitewashed tombs...full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness," "full of hypocrisy and lawlessness," "partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets," and "serpents and brood of vipers."
Not quite an endorsement by the One and Only Sovereign God, Jesus the Christ, is it? And some fools have the gall, or should we say "Chutzpah," to call Jesus a "Jew!" What blasphemy!
Professor of Medieval Jewish History, Abraham N. Poliak of Tel Aviv University, has stated:
"The large majority of world Jewry is descended from the Jews of Khazaria." (The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler (New York: Random House, 1976) p.226)
The people living in Palestine in the 20th century have no racial nor historic connection with Palestine and are, in reality, descendants from a Turko-Mongolian tribal people who created a kingdom called Khazaria which existed until the 12th century. These Khazarian "Jews" could just as easily have practiced Christianity, but for whatever reason they chose Judaism (Talmudic Pharisaism) and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Obviously, if these people have no racial, or historic connection with Palestine they have no claim to the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel or the land known as "Israel" (Palestine) today.
If this is true then there should be more evidence to support this position, and there is. The American People's Encyclopedia for 1964 at 15-292 records the following reference to Khazars:

For those interested in Bible prophecy, the implications of this last sentence are staggering. Read Genesis 10:2-3 to see from whom Ashkenaz descended; notice who his relatives are. Then read Ezekiel 38 & 39. Jewish author Alfred Lilienthal further stated:
"These Ashkenazim Jews...have little or no trace of Semitic blood." - p. 222, "What Price Israel."
This is now understandable from what Koestler revealed. The Jews fully understand their Khazarian heritage as the third edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia for 1925 records:
"Chazars: a people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews of Russia." The Jewish Encyclopedia, Third Edition, 1925
There are two main "racial" branches of modern Jewry. The smaller of the two is called the Sephardim, some of whose ancestors fled after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. and spread across North Africa to Spain. This group has been from the outset so small, in terms of a viable gene pool, and has mixed with such regularity over the centuries with the indigenous peoples wherever they lived that Dr. Raphael Patai, a leading Jewish scholar, felt compelled to write a book entitled 'The Myth of the Jewish Race' (Scribners, 1975). In reviewing an earlier work by Dr. Patai, 'Israel Between East and West,' Dr. Camille Honig, literary editor for the Voice (Jewish Voice of California, Sept. 25, 1953), stated:
"If you studied Jewish types and communities in five continents, as this writer had the opportunity of doing, you would have realized that it is sheer nonsense, and very dangerous nonsense, as well as unscientific, to speak about a Jewish race."
In a book entitled "Races in Europe", the author, William Z. Ripley, states under ethnology:
"The findings of physical anthropology show that contrary to all popular view, there is no Jewish race. "Our conclusion then is final. It is paradoxical yet true, we affirm. The Jews are not a race, but only a people after all."
Perhaps it can be understood why this is. The World Book Encyclopedia states:
"The Jews were once a sub-type of the Mediterranean race, but they have mixed with other peoples until the name Jew has lost all racial meaning."
Since the majority of people in modern Palestine and the world who call themselves "Jews" are descendants from a "Turko- Mongolian tribal people" known as Khazars, and have "little or no trace of Semitic blood in them," but are rather descendants of Ashkenaz who was one of the sons of Gomer.

Анонимен, моля ти се съобразявай се- това е български сайт и ако ще даваш такива дълги цитати- поне попреведи малко, защото не всички знаят английски.

Niki_b,
Не мога да се съглася напълно с теб,защото ако болно и здраво око се отнасят само до отношението към парите,защо тогава Исус намесва светлината,защо нарича окото светило на тялото - само за алчността и щедростта ли се говори тук?Не мисля.
Още повече,че и в Лука има подобен текст,без изобщо да се споменават парите в него.

Лука 11 глава:
34 Светило на тялото ти е твоето око; когато окото ти е здраво, то и цялото ти тяло е осветлено; а когато е болнаво, и тялото ти е в мрак.
35 Затова, внимавай, да не би светлината в тебе да е тъмнина.
36 Ако, прочее, цялото твое тяло бъде осветено, без да има тъмна част, то цяло ще бъде осветено, както кога светилото се осветява със сиянието си.

Окото е по-скоро свързано с начина,по който гледаме на нещата/от гледната точка на Бог или от плътска такава/ и с /по/желанията,които имаме.

"Сине мой, дай сърцето си на мене, И очите ти нека внимават в моите пътища"/Пр.23:26/.
