I honestly can't even believe what you have written Sheri. You might as well have writtten, "yessah yessah Iza jussa dum ole stupid gentile. Iza too simpa in da hed to unduhstand a'dis Torah stuff. I luv Massa jew....massa jew take care of me an tell me what to do....cuza ima too lazy and too dum anaway to do anuh book learnin or tinkin for mahseff'. I puts the coin in da box anah pray t'wards Jewlucy'lem an dat make mee plenny happy."
Your thinking has a very dark destination....and I fear for you. You are on the threshold of slavery and bondage.
Your example sheds brilliant daylight on how far the jewish religion has pulled the Yahudim and Yisrael at large from their task as the standard bearer of YHWH in this world. The Yahudim that have by and large become "jews" were not given this task of being YHWH's witnesses to forward chauvanism and subjugation to religious authority.
You plainly and simply are lazy. You have invested no real time into the Torah. I say that because even reading corrupted religious translations of the Torah wouldn't lead you to the destination you are headed to. You have no interest in learning and having a relationship with YHWH. You would rather have rabbis dictate what petty little rituals you can perform in place of covenant and relationship. You have opted for the crust and water rather than the fat feast of the King.
You are one to talk about ignorance, Sheri. You are right Sheri...you are just a simple (by implication dumb stupid) gentile....and you will remain that way....until you change your way of thinking and your attitude and invest the time to actually have a relationship than a impoverished religion that makes you a slave....the Gibeonites had more of a relationship with YHWH and Yisrael than you shall have if you keep going down this road.
I get so tired of saying these names over and over and over again...they almost become a meaningless mantra to those who understand...but since you don't.....Zipporah, Caleb (and I think there is a good case that Yephunneh (Caleb's father) had also been joined to Yisrael when considering that he is semi-unique (read below) in the fact that he was mentioned as the father of Caleb without actually being an actor in any scriptual passage) , Rahab
(ancestress of the messianic line), Ruth (
ancestress of the messianic line), Yael the "blessed" (wife of Heber the Kenite and most likely a Kenite herself), UrriYah the Hittite, Zelek the Amonite, ObadYahu the Edomite, Yahonadab the Kenite (and by implication once again his father Rechab)....the proselytes described in Esther, the mixed multitude described in Exodus and the Kenites in general ( now I know that some may take pause at that...and I know that kenites as it pertains to their role as scribes were berated at times by none other than Yahoshua Himself.....but this illustrates two points. First off....not all Kenites were scribes and not all scribes were Kenites. I am sure there were bad eggs and good eggs both among the Kenites who joined themselves to Yisrael. Secondly, these Kenites had a relationship with Yisrael from very early that started with Moshe. Many of them were praised by YHWH and his prophets including Caleb, Yael, and Jahonadab...they were over time integrated into Yisrael...to the point where they were scribes living in Yerushalayim...this speaks to the fact whether the Kenites were all good or all bad....that Yisrael was not to be a chauvanistic racially "pure" nation....that the foreigner could come in and serve YHWH and have an inheritance among the native born and even rise to prominence.) The words of YashaYahu....do they mean nothing to you? "Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to YHWH....." Was Abraham too simple as a goy to be the father of Yisrael?
Furthermore, I think the one thing that people forget when they are looking to the past for examples of goyim joining Yisrael is the fact that as valid as the examples are they are still examples of the past. Let us not forget the future examples....where even Palestinians shall belong to YHWH and be rulers of Yahudah and be like Yerushalmim (Yebusim) and of course to Ezekiel where it is explicit that the foreigner shall be treated as the native born and have an inheritance among the tribes of Yisrael
