One West Camps believe Jesus only came to save Israelites, not non Israelites, not all men, only the Israelites. One West Camps stand on corners and calls down judgment To all
non Israelites just like james and john would have done to the Samaritans for not receiving Jesus. According to Luke 9, One West Camps do not teach what Christ Taught.
The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. [Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows' houses and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive the greater condemnation.] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.
(Matthew 23:11-15)
by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!
(1 Thessalonians 2:16)
One West Camps do not teach what Jesus and Paul clearly taught. Paul complains that the Jews are hindering gentiles from being saved. Jesus complains that even when the Jews, pharisees in this case, convert a gentile to a proselyte Jew, they dont convert him to eternal life but rather a son of Hell.
Again, clearly One West Camps do not teach what Christ Taught.

Luke
22:25-26

23 He said to them, “You
will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to
grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” 24
And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. 25 But Jesus
called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord
it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 It shall
not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your
servant,[c] 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,[d] 28
even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:23-28)
|
And he said to them, “The kings of
the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them
are called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you
become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the
greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who
reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (Luke 22:25-26)

One West Camps Believe
gentiles will serve the Israelites in the coming kingdom. Yet jesus taught that
such things will not be so with those who follow him. One West Camps had the
same expectations as did the disciples in Matthew 20. Jesus taught those who
seek to be first or greatest must be a slave to the lesser and serve them. Then
Jesus said he didn’t come to be served, but to serve. This does not sound like
gentiles being slaves to Jews int the kingdom at all. Jesus
flips the idea by his own teachings.
Christ is risen...
