For God So Love the World
___________
Many, if not most, universalists will immediately quote John 3:16 when told that Jesus Christ did not come to save everyone in the world:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Greek word here translated in English as "world" is
Strong's G2889 - kosmos κόσμος
which in its primary meaning simply means "harmonious arrangement, order, ornament, arrangement, government,
A good translation might be Society.
We use terms like "He lives in his own little world." and "she lives in another world."
The Greek word kosmos rarely means the physical globe or planet we live on.
It does mean the system or arrangement man has built up around himself that he inhabits.
Let's look at a few other occurrences where the Greek word kosmos is used in Scripture:
Romans 1:8
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.Surely, the entire globe is not what Paul had in mind when he said the faith of those who resided in Rome was talked about throughout the entire globe. Their faith was not spoken of all across China, Africa, down to Australia and across to North America.
No, Paul meant the world known and inhabited by the Greeks and the Romans - essentially the Society built up around the Mediterranean Sea area, the same area within which Paul made his missionary journeys.
I Corinthians 4:
9For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
Surely, Paul is not saying here that everyone in the world saw or could see Paul, as if he was on stage, performing in a theatrical production, as that is what spectacle means, "a theater, a place in which games and dramatic spectacles are exhibited."
Matthew 4:8
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Did the devil take the Lord up to a literal exceeding high mountain and show him all the kingdoms of the world?
Surely the scope was limited, for one can not see all the kingdoms of the world from any single mountain on the earth, no matter how high.
Getting back to John 3:16: the entire world or all the people of the world was/is not what was/is being referred to.
It was the System, or the Society that needed saving; the system that Adamic man, specifically the world the Israelites, found themselves in that needed saving.
One last look at the word world in I John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
How can John 3:16 say "For God so loved the world" but here in I John (same author by the way) say: "Love not the world?" And that if we love the world, the love of the Father is not in us?
Surely, discretion, discernment and consideration of the entire biblical context is needed when attempting to ascertain the meaning of Scripture.
This is true of all Scripture, including John 3:16.

Governments Can Hate, But Not Its Citizens
Ever notice how the jew media wants us nominal Christian nations to hate Muslims/Arabs in Muslim/Arab nations, so the jews can profit from war?
At the same time, the jew media and Edomite jew controlled governments are pushing diversity and the immigration of Muslims and Arabs into every white nation on the planet, where we, in our nations, are suppose to love them, accept them, be tolerant, and believe "diversity is our strength?"
Check this site out, Stand Up to Hate
Our intention is to inform people of racist, homophobic, religious extreme hate speech perpetrators across social networking internet sites. And we also aim to be a focal point for people to access information and resources to report such perpetrators to appropriate web sites, governmental departments and law enforcement agencies around the world.Will this site report the US government and the jewish media for wanting us to hate Muslims?
Why can these people hate haters, but we can't hate? Why can our government promote lies - like "they hate us for our fredoms," - to cover up the real culprits of 9/11, the Edomite Jews, but we can't expose the real haters, the jews?
1984 is here. The plot of 1984 is "where it is permitted for the government to hate you and torture you, but it is not permitted for you to hate government or anyone else." (Hat tip to Zharkov)

Bible Translations in the Light of Dual Seed Christian Identity
As William Finck has pointed out, translators of the Bible, for example the KJV, were for the most part, Christians.
When they came across passages that were confusing to them, because the wording appeared to leave them out of the picture, (because the verses were meant for Israelites), the translators were almost forced to interpret the passages as universalists, in order to include themselves. They either had to produce a translation that included them, or renounce their faith.
They incorrectly interpreted the Scriptures in a universalist light because they didn't realize they were Israelites.
That is one reason there is over 27,000 errors, omissions and other "mistakes" in the KJV of the bible, leading to countless interpretations and causing unmeasurable confusion for millions of Christians.
A Bible or New Testament translated by someone who understands he is an Israelite, that the Scriptures were written for Israelites, about Israelites, by Israelites and to Israelites, can translate those same scriptures accurately, (without making those same 27,000 errors found in the KJV) in the proper light and the results are much more understandable.
Once the Dual Seedline Christian Identity view of Scripture is understood and an accurate translation of the bible is read and studied, Scripture makes complete sense, from cover to cover.
Old Testament passages like Amos 3:1,2 -
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,help explain statements like this from the New Testament:
You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
"I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel."1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. James 1
If, as the universalists believe, the gospel is for "all" and everyone who simple believes, why do we have passages such as this one spoken by Yahshua Himself?
10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. Matthew 13
Once one understands CI, Matthew 13:10 and 11 reads like this and makes sense:
10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them (non-Israelites) in parables?
11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you (Israelites) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them (non-Israelites) it is not given.

Surround Comfort
Seems David was concerned with how he was to get on in his old age, about losing his strength:
Psalm 71:
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not;
David, in his greyheaded years, looked to Yahweh for his strength.
3 Be thou my strong habitation,
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD:
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
David's had no choice but to look to Yahweh for his strength and hope:
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
"Comfort me on every side."
Yahweh will surround me with His comfort. You've heard of surround sound? How about surround comfort?
Meditation on the Surround Comfort of Yahweh brings one to praise:
19Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Yes, Yahweh/Yahshua has redeemed my soul.
Praise Yahweh.
