Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P1014 (03-13-25)
God Predestined Salvation for BOTH HEBREWS/ISRAELITES and Gentiles to Be Called Sons of God
~ “For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.” Ephesians 1:3-6
~ “Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility.
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.” Ephesians 2:11-18
~ God doesn’t predestine individuals for salvation. God predestined BOTH HEBREWS and Gentiles for salvation. Notice the keys here. The key is, the Hebrew and the Gentile are saved the same way, by FAITH in Christ Jesus, and the two are made ONE, One in Christ Jesus. And the predestination is also that for anyone who places faith in Him, they are made blameless in the sight of God. ALL believers, both Hebrews and Gentiles are made into one body, this is what God has predestined. That’s why there is not one way to be saved as a Hebrew and another way to be saved as a Gentile as some are claiming today.
Be aware also, that the word “J” is not in the actual manuscripts, it was added as a substitution in the 18th century, to replace the original words in the word of God. The ORIGINAL words are Yahudah and Ioudaios. So what really is being spoken of here are the two, both HEBREWS and GENTILES, becoming one, NOT “Js” and Gentiles. This is another key to our understanding of what is going on today. And as a reminder, since the temple was burned down around 70 AD, all the records were destroyed, as to our being able to know who is truly a HEBREW by birth. Yet we have one group of people that are pretending (liars) they are.
Why is this important to know for today? Because we have ALL been deceived into believing the lies of Satan, because that is what we were taught. ALL seminaries teach the lies of Satan. ALL pastors that have had any background teaching from some sort of Bible teaching school, were taught the lies of Satan. ALL people in the world have been taught the lies of Satan. And those that know this is the case of FORGIVENESS by God, have come to the knowledge of TRUTH, that forgiveness has been finalized at the cross (“It is Finished!”), have seen first hand the teaching of the lie of ongoing forgiveness by God throughout ALL the churches today. So do not be surprised that there are other key LIES also being taught. Nothing in the world is as it seems. Go back to the foundation. Jesus is our foundation, and ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom in EVERYTHING and He will give it with great abundance without finding fault. For the details matter in everything. Reminder, even Bob said to verify things to see if what he said are true or not. Well folks, we have at our fingertips the research tools to verify things. Use it. Be a Berean today.

Behold Jesus, the Lamb of God Who Took Away the Sins of the World and the World Includes Me!
Lord Jesus, teach me the TRUTH of the world we live in today and the Truth of You

Bob George addresses a caller’s concern about a church member’s inappropriate behavior, advising her to confront the individual directly and only escalate to the pastor if the issue persists. He emphasizes the importance of addressing issues within the church community respectfully and privately. Another caller seeks clarification on Matthew 27:50-53, which Bob explains it as an event marking the accessibility of the Holy of Holies. He also discusses predestination, clarifying it refers to two groups of people being made available for salvation, not individual choices. Lastly, Bob reassures a caller that Christians are not judged further by God, as their sins were already judged at the cross.
“Jason, it is God’s will that none should perish and all should come to repentance. You don’t have to worry about that state. It as clear as a bell. It is God’s will that none should perish, all should come to repentance. But are all people going to come to repentance? No. Are all people going to be saved? No, well, it’s God’s will, I know, but you can resist God’s will. Now, that’s totally contrary to Calvinistic thinking. Who says that you can’t resist God’s will, of course, you can. And now, when you’re dealing with predestination, that has nothing to do with yous and mes, it has to do with the HEBREWS and Gentiles, and that’s who was predestined, that the Gentiles were predestined, along with the HEBREWS, to become available for salvation. And if you read the book of Ephesians with that in mind, it all just clears up for you. Terrifically, he chose us, in him, before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in his sight, in love, He predestined us. Now he’s talking here to the Ephesians, so we’re reading here. He chose us, in him, before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in his sight. That’s what he chose us for was to be holy and blameless in his sight. Now are you right? Now holy and blameless in the sight of God, because of Christ, absolutely he made you that way for that one offering He made forever perfect in the sight of God, all of you whom he made holy. So you have already been that was his will, and he made you that way. He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance to the pleasure of His will. And here he’s talking about the HEBREWS. In Him, we, the HEBREWS, have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding, and he made known to us this mystery. And here’s the big deal, the mystery, that of his will and according to His purpose, which or pleasure which He purposed in Christ to be put into effect when the times had reached their fulfillment. Now what is this mystery we’ll get into in a minute? Now the Scripture, but it’s the Gentiles will come to Christ the same way the HEBREWS did. That’s the mystery. That was a mystery to the HEBREW. It was a mystery to the Gentiles, but that is the mystery, is Christ in you as a Gentile, your hope of glory and and we’ll learn over that in a moment, over in chapter three. But let’s continue on so we understand predestination in Him, we, we were also chosen. Well, who’s the we, the Gentiles, having been predestined according to the plan of him, he works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will, in order that we, the HEBREWS, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory, and you also the Gentiles were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, having believed you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit. So it’s dealing with HEBREW and Gentile over in chapter two, beginning in 11, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called the uncircumcised by those who call themselves the circumcision. Remember that at that time, you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of promise, without hope, without God in the world. But now in Christ, Jesus, You, who were once far away, that’s the Gentiles. Probably you and me have been brought near through the blood of Christ, for he himself is our peace. Who has made the two one who’s the two the HEBREW and the Gentile, into one who’s the one the ecclesia called the church, and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility between HEBREW and Gentile by abolishing, in his place the law with its commandments and regulations that Paul said is against us. And his purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, one new man out of the two, the church, the ecclesia, the born again man out of both HEBREWS and Gentiles, thus making peace and in this one body now to reconcile both of them as HEBREW and Gentile to God through the cross by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached to you who are far away, that the Gentiles and peace to those who were near. That’s the HEBREWS. For through him, we both have access to the Father by one spirit in. How Paul, in chapter three, talks about, sure you’ve heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is the mystery. Now we’re back to this mystery made known to me by revelation, which I’ve already written about in reading this, then you’ll be able to understand my insight into this mystery of Christ, which he has not made known to men in other generations, as is now revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the Gospel, the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body and sharers together in the promise of Jesus Christ. That is what election is. That is what predestination is. It is not yous and mes. It’s HEBREWS and Gentiles. So in chapter four, make every effort to keep unity through the spirit of the bond of peace. There’s one body, not a HEBEREW body and a Gentile body. One Spirit, not a spirit for the HEBREWS and one for the Gentiles, just as you are called to one hope when you were called one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Terrific message of unity that has been used to divide the body of Christ by these people teaching that predestination and election is yous and mes.” ~ Bob George
