"He was the sacrificial lamb. He only came to restore the kingdom that had been divided and restore the covenant with us and the most high."
1) He did not come to restore a divided kingdom. Israel did not have a divided kingdom after the Babylonian captivity.
Acts 1:6: When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7: And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The restoration of the kingdom will be done at His second coming.
Jesus did not come to restore the covenant. He established a New Covenant. One that is based on His sacrifice as the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.
Jeremiah 31:31: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
33: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
While that covenant was initiated with Israel, it is not exclusively for Israel. It is for whosoever will.
Matthew 12:50: For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
John 3:15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: 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.
Romans 10:13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Those that believe in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ are part of the commonwealth of Israel and this is not exclusively for the Jews, it is for all nations and families of mankind.
Ephesians 2:12: That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
God does not make a distinction between Jews and Greeks for those that are in Christ, for in Christ, all are one.
Galatians 3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 3:9: Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10: And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
You focus on the Old Covenant which, at Christ's second appearing will come to an end. Yet, you have no true knowledge of the New Covenant which is in Christ.
Hebrews 8:8: For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12: For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13: In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

"Religion is the longest running joke in the history of mankind."
So if one of those terrorists tells you that 2 + 2 = 4; are you going to declare that math is the second longest running joke in the history of mankind?
People claimed to believe the Bible, yet were not the absolute perfect examples of what the Bible teaches, does not make the Bible false.
If people could be perfect, which the Bible declares to be impossible, God would not have sent His Son Jesus to pay the penalty for our sins and to grant us the remission of sins by believing on the name of the only begotten Son of God, which is: Jesus Christ.
James 3:17: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 1:26: If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27: Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Pure religion is not a joke.
The real joke is on the people claiming religion to be a joke.
By refusing to acknowledge the difference between those that sincerely practice their religion, and those that are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing; hypocrites that demand adherence to all the rules yet do not themselves follow the rules.
For they cry for justice yet they themselves condemn the innocent for what the guilty have done.
Just remember that when law enforcement comes knocking on your door to arrest you for something you didn't even know you were thinking of doing.

You don't read the Bible do you?
You take a single statement that Jesus said to a woman of Tyre, ignore the fact that Jesus granted the woman's wish, and ignore everything else that Jesus said, and then twist that single statement into a doctrine of blasphemy.
Matthew 15:24: But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25: Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26: But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27: And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28: Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Jesus made it very clear why He came into the world it was to die for the sins of the world, not just the sins of Israel.
John 3:14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: 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.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
It is doubtful that God would have the gospel of the kingdom preached in all the world as a witness to all nations if Jesus only came for the lost sheep of Israel.
Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Jesus also said that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
49: And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
You need to stop listening to the bigots and blasphemers. The heretics, the pharisees and unbelievers that change the meaning of words to support their own personal biases and bigotries and start reading the bible as a little child without preconceptions.
Learn to read the Bible using the basic comprehension skills you were taught when being taught to read. You will not find truth or know the truth until you understand and accept that:
"The plain things are the main things and the main things are the plain things."

"what are you talking about I can pull a million scriptures as well you don’t know what they mean"
The meaning of scripture is quite obvious, all one need do is read them and understand the "as it is written" understanding. It is not all in how you interpret it. It is: As it is written.
"the kingdom was divided the northern and southern kingdom"
The division of the kingdom was diminished when Assyria carried the ten northern tribes of Israel away. That division was eliminated when Babylon carried Judah away.
"that’s why he told his disciples to go feed my sheep"
He told them to "feed my sheep" as part of the great commission. Specifically to Peter because Peter had denied Him three times. Feeding the sheep is what those of us that are called to preach do when we rightly divide the word of truth.
2Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
"the Holy Ghost that fell upon then gave them the ability to speak and other languages so the gentiles that are Jews could understand them."
The Holy Ghost did not just fall upon them. He entered them:
Ezekiel 36:27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Which is a promise of the New Covenant.
"When I said restore Covenant I was obviously talking about a new one the old was dead that’s why he said I’ve only come to the lost sheep because it was divided and they were lost"
When you said restore, it was clearly obvious that you were talking about the Old Covenant. A man of integrity that knows the meaning of the word restore, would not think you are talking about something new, rather something old.
No one ever restores a new Car, there is no need for a new car to be restored. An old car that has deteriorated with age does get restored when a man deems it worthy to be restored.
You don't restore a New Covenant, you make and establish a New Covenant.
You restore an Old Covenant.
You can pull a million verses, but you interpret them according to your bias, not according to "As it is written". Your improper use of restore alone proves that you are interpreting scripture contrary to the purpose and intent for which God sent them.
Isaiah spoke many things regarding the salvation of the Gentiles and regarding Christ's ultimate purpose.
Isaiah 11:10: And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
The root of Jesse is Jesus Christ as is the servant spoken of in the next verse..
Isaiah 42:1: Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Jesus is the Light.
Isaiah 6: I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Jesus Christ is not just a light to the tribes of Jacob, but to the Gentiles as well.
Isaiah 49:6: And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah 60:3: And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Isaiah 65:15: And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
Malachi 1:11: For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
You boast yourself of great understanding, yet you do not even understand or know how to use the word "restore" properly.
Why can anyone take you as a serious student of the Holy Scriptures which you twist for your own evil devises?
No honest person will.
Seeing that you change the definitions of words for your own corrupt purposes, how can anyone take you serious as one of understanding and knowledge in the ways of the Lord?
Again, no honest person will.
You criticize me for posting verses. Those verses prove to the average man of understanding that I do not twist the Bible to mean what ever I want it to mean. I speak of what is written, not what is interpreted. What is written can be plainly seen and understood by anyone that is literate.
You, are not a servant of the Lord. You are an adversary of God and of God's truth. You are anti-Christ, twisting the words of Christ for your own evil schemes.
Jesus's earthly ministry was certainly with Israel. Yet, when He gave the great commission, He commanded the disciples to preach the Gospel to all nations and all the world beginning at Jerusalem, not just to the Jews.
Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15 and Luke 24:47
Matthew 28:18: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20: 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.
Mark 16:15: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Luke 24:46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48: And ye are witnesses of these things.
49: And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Why did Jesus instruct them to preach the gospel to all nations and to all the world making disciples?
Because the New Covenant is not with a specific nation. It is with "whosoever believes". "Whosoever believes" is not exclusive to a specific nationality; it is not exclusive to Israel, as it is written: "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved".
John 3:15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16: 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.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John 12:46: I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Romans 10:11: For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
1John 5:1: Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2: By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3: For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

I think you need a time out.
You claim to have done something yet you give not provided any evidence whatsoever of having done it.
I however, post the scriptures I am referring to so that people can see why I believe as I do.
You claim to have knowledge that is not applicable to the Holy Scriptures as the Lord speaks through Isaiah saying:
Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If we are to go to God and reason with Him. Then, we can reasonably expect His word and His words to be reasonably understandable. You on the other hand claim that the words do not mean what they plainly state.
The Jews are descendants from Judah which was carried away captive by Babylon and returned to the land 70 years later. Those Jews that were carried away captive to Babylon are the Children of Jacob whose name God changed to Israel, hence, the Children of Israel as they are often referred to in the Holy Scriptures.
It is clear by your claim of superior intelligence and superior understanding, that you are lifted up in pride. Like Elymas the sorcerer whom Paul did rebuke by the Holy Spirit, you do not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord. You are clearly headed for a fall. Humble yourself therefore, and repent unto the Lord Jesus Christ that His mercy and His grace may preserve you from destruction.

"Lets goto John 3:16 that’s a favorite of the people to goto ..... but who was Christ speaking to ? That’s right the sadducees.... but try scrolling up to john 3:14/15 ..... as Moses lifted up the serpent so too shall the son of man be lifted up........ who did Moses raise the serpent up to ?"
You don't know anything about the study of law or the study of contracts do you?
If it's not specifically written, then it's not in there.
There is more to John 3:16 than just who Jesus was speaking too. You also have to look at what He specifically said.
Jesus did not say God sent Him because He so loved the children of Israel. He said that God sent Him because He so loved the world. Being that God so loved the world, then Christ is sent not just for Israel, but for the world.
John 3:16: 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.
Yes, Jesus was speaking to the Sadducees and pharisees, but He was not speaking exclusively to them. He was speaking to the world as well. "For God so loved the world".
Because God so loved the world: "He gave His only begotten Son".
Why did God give His only begotten Son?
"That (whosoever) believes in Him should not parish, but have everlasting life".
Salvation was indeed to the Jews first, but those Jews that were the first Christians were commissioned and commanded to take the Gospel to the whole world. Why? Because salvation is to "whosoever believes". It does not say whosoever in Israel believes in Him, but: whosoever in the world believes in Him.
Your interpretation of the verse makes Jesus a liar as you discard the very words He spoke, and change them to mean "only Jews" can be saved.
I prefer to take Jesus at His word that He spoke rather than the interpretation you deceivers and anti-Christ's promote.
You preach a gospel other than the Gospel that Christ and the Apostles preached. Woe is unto you for Paul, a Pharisee of Pharisees, a member of the Sanhedrin said:
Galatians 1:8: But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9: As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Thus, you are accursed because you preach a gospel other than that Gospel that Christ and His Apostles delivered and handed down to us.

"when it says world or all nations you have to look at it in context."
Context and language does not work that way bud.
When the text is obviously directed to a single individual or group of individuals then it applies as such.
"When he said world he said that because the Israelites were scattered to the 4 corners of the world"
Last night I realized something, when Jesus said: "For God so loved the world" he was not speaking to the Jews. He was speaking to a single Jew, Nicodemus.
Now, while Jews were obviously in many different Nations, they were not scattered all over the world. The scattering all over the world took well over 1448 years and began to be accomplished with the arrival of the first born Jew to the Americas in 1584, the scattering having started in 136 AD when the majority of Jews were forced to leave the land of Israel by Emperor Hadrien.
That fact blows your "Jews around the world" out of the water which is flawed. When Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus, He was speaking to Him of that which God would do for all of mankind. Not just Jews.
Now, if salvation was only for the Jews, then Jesus spoke falsely when speaking to the Samaritan woman. And she testifies to the fact that "the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans"
John 4:9: Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
What did Jesus speak to her of?
What did Jesus offer the Samaritan woman, an individual that the Jews have no dealings with?
Answer: Salvation.
John 4:21: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22: Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Thus, we have two individuals whom Jesus spoke with. Nicodemus, a Rabbi and member of the Sanhedrin. The other, a Samaritan whom the Jews have no dealings with, and He spoke to them both of their need for Salvation and redemption.
Within this dialogue with the Samaritan woman, He prophesies of the days when worship on a specific mountain would cease. John 4:21.
Why will it cease: because the Father seeks worshipers that worship Him in spirit and in truth. - John 4:23 - 24
Again, Jesus does not specify Jews. He specifically uses the word "they" to indicate that this is not just for the Jews or descendant gentiles of the Jews but rather, any person of any nationality that believes in His name and accepts His sacrifice on the cross for the remission of sins and Salvation.

"it's just a theory. "
It's a theory based on more evidence, scientific research, and historical facts than the theory of evolution.
"many scientists dispute his claims."
In what way?
Do they just say it didn't happen that way and expect you to just take their statement as scientific fact without them having presented solid, logical counter arguments and evidence to dispute his claims?
If so, then take his claims as being a reasonable explanation until someone comes along with more evidence that contradicts this interpretation of the events.
The person with the best supporting evidence and reasonable argument wins the debate, not the person with the most education. His claims are a reasonable interpretation of the events in question therefore it is up to those that dispute his claims to present a more reasonable argument supported by evidence.
If someone should come along later with additional evidence that suggests his interpretation of the evidence is wrong; then you have a valid argument that disputes his claims. Without that additional evidence however, simply disputing the claims suggests that the individual disputing the claims is not a scientist, but a religious zealot.
Since 2020, we've seen plenty of evidence that the science community is filled and controlled by a lot of religious, power hungry, zealots; and not actual scientists. Like prostitutes, they sell themselves to the highest bidder.
