Problems with the British Israel Theory

Will Many Be Saved or is Salvation for a Very Small Percentage?
The problem with the British Israel theory that indicates only the descendants of the Israelites can be saved is indicated in many verses and points below.

The British Israel theory would enable us to judge who will be saved and the Bible says we cannot do this (Rom 10:6,7). The Bible says to preach the gospel to every creature and it does not say we should not preach to different races. The British Israel theory would encourage certain people not to seek God. There are people of other races who are very committed and seeking God. Also anyone can become an Israelite by moving to Israel. In the same manner God may judge that someone may move to Israel or spiritual Israel if they seek and obey God. But most importantly there are several scriptures that indicate people of other races can be saved. In Matt 15:22-28 Jesus healed a Canaan women and said she had great faith. In Joshua a Lady in Jericho was saved despite not being an Israelite. Ruth was a Moabite and a woman of God. (Rth 1:22 ). In John 4 Jesus appeared to a woman of Samaria despite Jews do not have dealings with Samaritans. Many Samaritans also believed. Paul went to the gentiles after the Jews rejected him. There is a distinction between Jews and Gentiles. In Numbers 12 Miriam was struck leprous by God for accusing Moses of Marrying Ethiopian women. It appears God was indicating that it was fine to marry a believing Ethiopian woman and that we should not discriminate against people on the basis of race.

The below verses indicate that people of different races can be saved.

Galatians 2: 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Galatians 3 :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 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Romans 1 :16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 2:10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:9 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 10:12. 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.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
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.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

The below verses are often used to support the theory of British Israelism. The Bible indicates that God hates Esau and the descendants of Esau for a long period of time. But even if he still hates the descendants of Esau today it is hard to be sure who are the true descendants of Esau today. You can't assume that his descendants make up all the nations apart from Israel. There were many other people alive at the time of Esau that would have had descendants, which formed non-Israeli nations.

Rom. 9:13 "As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
Mal 1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

In Mal 1:4 God indicates that he hates the decendense of Esau for many or all generations. It should be noted that the word ever does not always mean eternal. It can also mean an age or a long period of time.
Mal 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
