[1] Galatians 3:27 is not speaking of water
baptism. It is speaking of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit which baptizes all
believers into the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13).
[2] Galatians 3:28 obliterates all notions of hierarchy within the Body of Christ. There is no racial, ethnic, or gender hierarchy among the Out-Calleds of Christ. Unscriptural organizations have implemented hierarchy from the beginning, thus corrupting the worship, service, and preaching of Christ, limiting to males most forms of leadership seen in modern churches, but not ordained by our Creator.
[3] Galatians 3:29, is an awesome revelation
to the Body of Christ that in no way negates promises made to the physical seedof Abraham [the Jews/Hebrews]. The Body of Christ and the people of the world
who will inhabit the first one-thousand years of Christ’s earthly Kingdom will
participate in the common wealth of the nation of Israel.
The Bible says, the New Covenant is a better covenant based
on better promises. The Old Covenant contains amazing promises. But not
a single promise made to Abraham and his physical descendants is taken from
them and “transferred” to “The Church.” This is a false and anti-Semitic teaching
that began with the organization founded by Constantine and later called Roman
Catholicism, with the Vatican as its capitol and also its embassy. Not many
understand that the Vatican City is a sovereign nation which many nations,
including, the united states, have ambassador’s to. The goal of the Vatican has
always been a literal, global dominion of Roman Catholicism in an attempt to
usurp the promise that Israel will one day be the head nation in Christ’s
global Kingdom.
Historically, the Vatican has used military and naval power
(Spanish Armada) and terrorism (the Spanish Inquisition) to achieve this goal.
They now use the ecumenical movement [which they founded] to achieve global
dominance in appropriating to themselves, what God promised the Jews.
Protestants also have their own anti-Semitic version of
what it means to be “Abraham’s seed.” We see this in the false teachings of
Reformed and Dominion theologies. Though reformed and dominion teachings are
not identical and disagree on many points, but both paradigms appropriate to
themselves promises made to Abraham, and both groups are anti-Semitic in their disavowal
of the physical seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…Israel. Some Messianic groups
are anti-Semitic in this way, as well, using Galatians 3:29 as a basis for
disavowing physical the Jews as God’s chosen people.

What
readers are saying:
"This
book is well written, well researched, and a real eye opener."
"Andersen
is a gifted writer, and the book was easy to read even as it covers thoughtful
and sometimes technical information. I am glad I read it. I’ve read a great
deal about women in the church and home, and it is easy to think there is
nothing new to be learned or considered – but this book has a unique approach
and covers aspects overlooked by others. Everything is well documented with
footnotes in case you have questions or want sources."
"The
author is not only a gifted writer but clearly well-studied
and informed."
" I
was pleased that translation bias was covered in a chapter, an issue that needs
to be addressed, and one that I find quite hard to bring up with lay people or
everyday believers who lack knowledge about Bible translation. We can trust our
Bibles, but we also need to acknowledge that certain passages are hard to
translate and bias can come into play."
"Andersen
tackles most of the primary the teachings of complementarianism with an
impressive exegesis"
