Scriptural Authority . . . (But, not Jesus'! - BAFS)

Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
(JESUS NEVER SAID THE ABOVE! - BAFS)

Summary Of All The Commandments Of Jesus

This is His one commandment which summarizes all the others:
      ********************************************************
       "This is my commandment, that you love one another
        as I have loved you." (John 15:12 RSV)
      ********************************************************
Here is the way He arrived at this one summary verse.
       JOHN 15:9-12 (RSV)
       
         _____________________________________________________________
       
        9
               As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in
               my love.
        10
               If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,
               just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in
               his love.
        11
               These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in
               you, and that your joy may be full.
        12
               This is my commandment, that you love one another as I
               have loved you.
         _____________________________________________________________
      
 
This is not just one more commandment He added to a list. This one commandment summarizes all the others: "Love one another as I have loved you." "

NOTE: "Love one another" means "love all people," not just "love other Christians."

Complete List Of The Commandments Of Jesus

Here, then, is the complete list of all the Commandments which Jesus taught His disciples to observe, as I have found them recorded in the four Gospels. They are organized into two groups: the Universal Moral Law, and the Other Commandments Of Jesus. A summary of each commandment is given first, then a detailed explanation of each one, with Scriptural references.
It is always possible that I have overlooked a commandment or two. So in order to make sure for yourself, please buy a Bible with the words of Jesus written in red. Then read the red words first, and see for yourself! As Jesus said, "the words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life." (John 6:63b KJV)

Detailed List Of The Commandments Of Jesus, With Scriptural References

The Universal Moral Law
   This is the Universal Moral Law regarding your relationship with your
   Creator and with all other people on Earth. This law now applies to
   all people in all situations.
   
   There are three parts to the Universal Moral Law . . .
       1. The Law Of Love
       2. The Ten Commandments
       3. The Golden Rule
   
   THE LAW OF LOVE
       "First, love God your Creator more than anything
        else. Then, love all other people the same as you
        love yourself."
                     (Based on Matthew 22:35-40, restated in Mark
                     12:28-31 and Luke 10:25-28. The idea of all people
                     as neighbors is explained in Luke 10:29-37)
                "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord
                 thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
                 and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
                 commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38 KJV)
                "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
                 neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang
                 all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:39-40 KJV)
        

   THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
   Throughout the Old Testament, there are hundreds of "commandments,"
   covering all parts of life. Collectively, these make up "the Law" of
   the Old Covenant.
   
   However, one group of commandments is very special, and it is known as
   "the commandments." That is the Ten Commandments, dictated by God,
   written in stone, and given to all people forever. The people of
   Israel placed The Ten Commandments first, separate and distinct above
   all others.
   
   Most of The Law of the Old Covenant no longer applies to Christians
   under the New Covenant (See Hebrews 8:13, etc.) However, the Ten
   Commandments still apply, because they were ratified by Jesus in Mark
   10:19 and Luke 18:20 when He said, "You know the commandments."
   
   The Ten Commandments are given in two different places in the Bible,
   once in Exodus 20:1-17 and once in Deuteronomy 5:6-22. The content is
   the same in both places.
   Here is the modern restatement of The Ten Commandments. After this is
   the translation of the original text.
             The Ten Commandments: Modern Restatement
     1. "Do not put anything ahead of God your Creator."
     2. "Do not make or worship idols."
     3. "Do not take the name of God in vain."
     4. "Take one day of complete rest each week, in honor of God."
     5. "Honor your father and your mother."
     6. "Do not commit murder."
     7. "Do not commit adultery."
     8. "Do not steal."
     9. "Do not tell lies against anyone."
    10. "Do not covet other people's possessions."
                    (Based on Exodus 20:1-17, restated in
                    Deuteronomy 5:6-22. Jesus did not specifically
                    restate commandments 2, 3, 4 or 10, but it was
                    understood that He endorsed and followed all of the
                    Ten Commandments.)
   
             EXODUS 20:1-17 (KJV)
                             The Ten Commandments
             1
                    And God spake all these words, saying,
             2
                    I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of
                    the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
             3
                    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
             4
                    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or
                    any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or
                    that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
                    under the earth.
                    NOTE: "Graven images" here means idols, not all
                           drawings or statues, as some have mistakenly
                           believed. If statues were prohibited, then
                           the two angel statues on the Ark Of The
                           Covenant would have been prohibited.
                           (See Exodus 25:18-20)
             5
                    Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve
                    them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
                    visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
                    children unto the third and fourth generation of them
                    that hate me;
             6
                    And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love
                    me, and keep my commandments.
             7
                    Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in
                    vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that
                    taketh his name in vain.
             8
                    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
             9
                    Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
             10
                    But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy
                    God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
                    son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
                    maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
                    within thy gates:
             11
                    For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the
                    sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
                    day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and
                    hallowed it.
             12
                    Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may
                    be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth
                    thee.
             13
                    Thou shalt not kill.
                 NOTE: This is a prohibition against private killing,
                       not against killing in war or as punishment for
                       breaking the law. God specifically authorized
                       killing in war (see Deuteronomy 7:2, etc.)
                       and killing as punishment for certain crimes
                       (see Deuteronomy 13:9, etc.)
             14
                    Thou shalt not commit adultery.
             15
                    Thou shalt not steal.
             16
                    Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
                    neighbour.
             17
                    Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou
                    shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his
                    manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his
                    ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
                                    *     *     *
                   "And all the people saw the thunderings, and the
                    lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the
                    mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they
                    removed, and stood afar off." (Exodus 20:18 KJV)

   THE GOLDEN RULE
     "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
                  (Based on Matthew 7:12, restated in Luke 6:31)
                "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men
                 should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is
                 the law and the prophets." (Matthew 7:12 KJV)

The Other Commandments Of Jesus
        1. "FORGIVE EVERYBODY OF ALL THEIR OFFENSES AGAINST YOU."
            (Forgive, and be forgiven.)
            As you forgive other people, God will forgive you.
             
                 "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our
                  debtors." (Matthew 6:12 KJV)
                 "And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have
                  ought against any: that your Father also which 
                  in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
                 "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your
                  Father which is in heaven forgive your 
                  trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26 KJV)

        2. "YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN."
            Being "born again" means casting off the spirit of the
            flesh and taking on the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit,
            Who is given by the grace of God to those who believe
            in Jesus Christ as the only-begotten Son of God, risen
            from the dead. 
            
              "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born
               again." (John 3:7 KJV)
       3. "ABIDE IN ME, AND LET ME ABIDE IN YOU."
          
           When you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, 
           His Holy Spirit moves into your heart. He actually lives
           in you, and you live in Him.
             "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
              fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more
              can ye, except ye abide in me." (John 15:4 KJV)

       4. "LET PEOPLE SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS." (Do not hide your light
           under a basket.)
           "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see
            see your good works, and glorify your Father which is
            in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 KJV; see also Matthew 5:15)
       5. "END DISPUTES QUICKLY."
           "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art
            in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary
            deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
            to the officer, and thou be cast into prison."
            (Matthew 5:25 KJV)
       6. "WHATEVER CAUSES YOU TO SIN, GET RID OF IT."
                   "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and
                    cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
                    one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
                    whole body should be cast into hell.
                   "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and
                    cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that
                    one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
                    whole body should be cast into hell."
                                (Matthew 5:29-30 KJV)
       7. "DO NOT SWEAR OATHS AT ALL."
                   "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by
                    heaven; for it is God's throne:
             
                   "Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
                    Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
             
                   "Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou
                    canst not make one hair white or black.
             
                   "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay:
                    for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
 
                              (Matthew 5:34-37 KJV)
       8. "DO NOT RETURN OFFENSE FOR OFFENSE." (Turn the other cheek.)
              "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an
               eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
            
              "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but
               whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn
               to him the other also."
                      (Matthew 5:38-39 KJV)
       9. "GIVE WHAT PEOPLE ASK OF YOU, AND GIVE MORE THAN IS REQUIRED."
           (Go the extra mile.)
             
                   "And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take
                    away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
             
                   "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with
                    him twain.
             
                   "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
                    borrow of thee turn not thou away."
                                 (Matthew 5:40-42 KJV)
     
      10. "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES AND THOSE WHO WORK AGAINST YOU."
             
                   "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them
                    that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
                    pray for them which despitefully use you, and
                    persecute you;
             
                   "That ye may be the children of your Father which is
                    in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil
                    and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on
                    the unjust."
             
                         (Matthew 5:43-45 KJV)
      11. "GIVE TO THE POOR TO PLEASE GOD, NOT TO GAIN APPROVAL
           FROM OTHER PEOPLE."
             "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to
              be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your
              Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 6:1 KJV)
      12. "PRAY PRIVATELY AND SIMPLY, NOT TO IMPRESS OTHER PEOPLE."
         "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are:
          for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the
          corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I
          say unto you, They have their reward.
   
         "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
          thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret;
          and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
   
         "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
          for they think that they shall be heard for their much
          speaking."
   
                   (Matthew 6:5-7 KJV)
     
      13. "MAKE YOUR PRAYERS BE LIKE THE LORD'S PRAYER."
          After this manner therefore pray ye: 
 
Our Father which art in heaven,
          Hallowed be thy name.
          Thy kingdom come,
          Thy will be done in earth,
          As it is in heaven.
          Give us this day our daily bread.
          And forgive us our debts,
          As we forgive our debtors.
          And lead us not into temptation,
          But deliver us from evil:
          For thine is the kingdom,
          And the power,
          And the glory,
          For ever.
                          Amen.
               (Matthew 6:9-15 KJV)
           
      14. "WHEN YOU FAST, DO IT SECRETLY, NOT FOR SHOW."
         "Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
          countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
          appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their
          reward." (Matthew 6:16)
   
      15. "STORE UP YOUR TREASURES IN HEAVEN, NOT ON EARTH."
   
         "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
          rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
   
         "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
          moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
          through nor steal:
   
         "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
                     (Matthew 6:19-21)
      16. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR MATERIAL NEEDS."
          
         "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
          ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
          what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
          body than raiment?
   
         "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
          reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
          them. Are ye not much better than they?"
   
                 (Matthew 6:25-26 KJV)  
     17. "DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE."
         "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
          take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
          is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:34 KJV)
     18. "MAKE GOD YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY, AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF
          ALL YOUR NEEDS."
             "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
              righteousness; and all these things shall be
              added unto you." (Matthew 6:33 KJV)
     19. "DO NOT JUDGE OTHER PEOPLE." (Judge not, lest ye be judged.)
         "Judge not, that ye be not judged.
   
         "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
          what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
   
                 (Matthew 7:1-2 KJV)   
          So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
          said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first
          cast a stone at her. (John 8:7 KJV)
          
      20. "DO NOT GIVE HOLY THINGS TO DOGS OR CAST YOUR PEARLS 
           BEFORE SWINE."
              "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
               your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under
               their feet, and turn again and rend you."
               (Matthew 7:6 KJV)


      21. "ASK GOD FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO HAVE." (Seek, and ye
           shall find.)
             "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
              knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" (Matthew 7:7 KJV)
      22. "FEED THE HUNGRY, CLOTHE THE NAKED, SHELTER THE HOMELESS,
           COMFORT THOSE IN DISTRESS."
       
               
              "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,
               ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for
               you from the foundation of the world:
       
              "For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
               and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
        
              "Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I
               was in prison, and ye came unto me.
                        (Matthew 25:34-36 KJV)
      23. "FOLLOW THE NARROW PATH TO LIFE." (Enter by the narrow gate.)
           The wide gate is the gate you simply stumble through, when you
           are not paying attention. 
                                         
         "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
          is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
          which go in thereat:
  
         "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
          leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."
                 (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV)
      24. "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS."
            "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
             clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
             (Matthew 7:15 KJV)
      
      25. "EXERCISE POWER OVER UNCLEAN SPIRITS."
            
           "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples,
            he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
            and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."
            (Matthew 10:1 KJV)
           "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
            out devils: freely ye have received, freely give."
            (Matthew 10:8 KJV)
      26.  "LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN, DO NOT DESPISE THEM."
           "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; 
            for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do
            always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
            (Matthew 18:10 KJV)
             
      27. "DO NOT TAKE THE TITLES 'MASTER' OR 'FATHER' FOR YOURSELF."
                   "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master,
                    even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
             
                   "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one
                    is your Father, which is in heaven.
            
                   "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
                    even Christ.
            
                   "But he that is greatest among you shall be your
                    servant.
            
                   "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
                    and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."
                               (Matthew 23:8-12 KJV)
      28. "RESOLVE DISPUTES IN AN ORDERLY WAY, LIKE THIS . . . "
             
                   "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
                    go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone:
                    if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
            
                   "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one
                    or two more, that in the mouth of two or three
                    witnesses every word may be established.
             
                   "And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto
                    the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let
                    him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
                                 (Matthew 18:15-17 KJV)
      29. "DO NOT OPPOSE OTHER BELIEVERS IN CHRIST WHO ARE NOT IN YOUR
           GROUP."
                   "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one
                    casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not
                    us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
             
                   "But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man
                    which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly
                    speak evil of me.
             
                   "For he that is not against us is on our part."
                             (Mark 9:38-40 KJV)            
      30. "HAVE TOTAL FAITH IN GOD FOR EVERYTHING."
            
                   "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in
                    God.
            
                   "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say
                    unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast
                    into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but
                    shall believe that those things which he saith shall
                    come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
            
                   "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
                    desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
                    and ye shall have them."
                                 (Mark 11:22-24 KJV)
      31. "BE LIKE THE GOOD SAMARITAN." (Go, and do likewise.)
             "Then Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou
              likewise." (Luke 10:37b KJV) 
             This was in reference to the Parable Of The
             Good Samaritan, who helped and took care of
             a man who had been attacked by robbers.
             (See Luke 10:30-35)
             
      32. "LOVE OTHER PEOPLE AS I HAVE LOVED YOU"
           "This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
            as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)
                 NOTE: This one commandment summarizes
                 all the others.
      33. "EAT BREAD AND DRINK WINE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME."
           "And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
            gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given
            for you: do this in remembrance of me. Likewise also 
            the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new
            testament in my blood, which is shed for you."
            (Luke 22:19-20 KJV)
      34. "WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET."
           The full meaning of this dramatic command is for us
           to care for each other's needs as if they were our own.
           He also wants us literally to wash each other's feet.
            "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye 
             also ought to wash one another's feet." (John 13:14 KJV)
      35. "BE MERCIFUL."
          "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
           (Luke 6:36 KJV)
          " . . . for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil."
           (Luke 6:35b KJV)
          
      36. "GO AND TEACH ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM."
          "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
           name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
           Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
           commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
           the end of the world." Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
      37. "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
         "If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15 KJV)
      38. "BE PREPARED FOR YOUR MASTER TO RETURN."
          "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh
           at an hour when ye think not." (Luke 12:40 KJV)
               *                 *                  *
May the Lord bless this presentation of His holy Word.
Amen.

Jesus Can Become Your Lord Right Now!

Beloved, you have now finished reading The Commandments Of Jesus. You now know what Jesus really teaches. If you love His teaching, you will love Him even more personally. You can have Him personally, dwelling inside you as your own personal Lord and Saviour, with you all the time. This is called "Salvation," or "being saved," or being "born again." The Scriptural requirements for Salvation are set forth in Romans 10:9.
      "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
       shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the
       dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9 KJV)
Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead: that's all it takes to gain Salvation. If any person prays this prayer out loud, sincerely believing these words, he has met the scriptural requirements for salvation. Jesus Christ will then come into his life as Lord and Saviour, as He promised.
                  "Personal Prayer Of Salvation"
              O Lord, I know that You are waiting here,
              For me to let You come into my life.
              I know that You are knocking on the door,
              And now I pray that You will enter in.
                       *         *        *
              I pray that You will come into my life,
              As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me.
              I know that You are truly Son of God,
              I know that You have risen from the dead,
              I know that only You can save my soul.
              I need Your guidance, and I need Your love;
              I want to follow everywhere You lead.
              I truly do repent of all my sins;
              I feel remorse for evil I have done;
              I know that only You can make me clean.
              I turn my back on sin and look to You.
              I am forgiving all who did me harm,
              As You are now forgiving all my sins.
              And now as I commit myself to You,
              I pray that You commit Yourself to me.
              I pray that You will take me as I am,
              And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms.
              In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
                                 <><
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ, our Lord! If you said this prayer sincerely, you are now a Christian. Congratulations! Now, what next? You have made the committment to Jesus, so what should you do now? Write to me and tell me! Then, go tell the first practicing Christian you can find. He (she) will know what to do next.

God's One Law For All Mankind: "Love All People As Yourself."

Dear Friend:
 
Who should possess the land of Israel, the nation that was begun when Harry Truman received a two-million dollar bribe? Christian evangelicals say it should be the descendants of Abraham. The evangelicals believe this means the Jews. However, there is one problem. DNA science has proven conclusively that most of the people in the nation of Israel and in World Jewry are not descendants of Abraham. They are not the ancient Israelites and are not the seed of Abraham. This means that the seven-and-a-half million residents are imposters! The "Jews" of America, Europe, and Israel are descendants of King Bulan and the people of ancient Khazaria. If the "Jews" are not Abraham's seed, then who is? The answer to this question and much more on this week's vitally important report, Scientific DNA Study Confirms—"Jews" Are Not Descendants of Abraham But of King Bulan and the Khazars.
