You can read in the Bible that the children of Israel will be a light to the Gentiles, but nowhere does it say that the Gentiles will be a light to themselves. This is obviously something that they have made up, so how are they currently supposed to get salvation from the Lord God of Israel?

Here is the text of the article:

The Gentiles are a light to the Gentiles? Since when?

Went to a so called Bible study at a Sunday church and it turned out to just be more pushing of the doctrines of the Europeans, with plenty of mention of hell, but hardly any mention of the good things of God.This is something that the Europeans tend to push, almost as if they do not really like God, which then would not make God pass His joy unto them. The Europeans have turned God's gospel into bad news and Caribbean and African preachers have followed after them. Here is some of the good news that Jesus preached:
Luke 8:1: And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
Luke 8:2: And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
Luke 8:3: And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
Luke 8:4: And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
Luke 8:5: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luke 8:6: And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Luke 8:7: And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
Luke 8:8: And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

So no mention of hellfire there and notice that it was glad tidings that He was bringing, so where do the Europeans get their hellfire from?

Luke 9:1: Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Luke 9:2: And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

Even more good stuff, with still no orders to preach hellfire. I ended up reading through a bit of the New Testament to find these verses and there really is a lack of the mention of hellfire, so Jesus really was there to bring the good news. But the Europeans seem hell bent on bringing bad news about God, almost as if that is what they prefer to say about him. I have been thinking about why the Europeans seem to be in such a huff, with them also trying to bring themselves in when it comes to Bible prophecy as well and it almost seems that they are not happy about God withholding the gifts of the Spirit from them, while they seem to think that they automatically deserve them, mainly due to how clever they think they are, when it comes to working out what the Bible is saying.
The main point that they seem to be missing is that God has never said that the Gentiles would be a light to the Gentiles, but it is the real Israel who are to take that role, not the fake Israel as the Europeans seem to think. We can read that this is the case even in the New Testament in:

Acts 15:12: Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Acts 15:13: And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Acts 15:14: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Acts 15:15: And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Acts 15:16: After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Acts 15:17: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Acts 15:18: Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
Acts 15:19: Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
Acts 15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

We see here that James is saying that it is the tabernacle of David that will be built up, so that men can seek after it, but this obviously is not talking about the tabernacle of the Gentiles, so how can the Gentiles be the ones that make it seem as if it is their job to bring forth the gospel? God is plainly saying, even in the New Testament, that it is the Israelites who will be handling this job, so it is time for the Gentiles to see sense
