    And there is your problem. You can't read Greek. The word is not "tasso."

    The word is τεταγμενοι. As you can't read it I will transliterate it for you.

    Tetagmenoi. You say "the Jews,after hearing the Gospel preached, rejected So they turned and preached it to the Gentiles." Yes, and "all those appointed to eternal life believed."

    They did not appoint themselves, that would require a middle voice verb. This verb is passive voice, indicating something that was done to them.

    I think you better bow out before you make an absolute fool of yourself.

    And let me give you some advice. Throw away your Stong's Concordance. It is as wrong as you are. Over and over we see Strong making the root fallacy (as here). Remember, Strong's is a concordance, not a lexicon.

    Before posting again I highly suggest you read D. A. Carson's, Exegetical Fallacies. (Baker Academic, 1996) ISBN 0801020867.

    It will save you a lot of embarrassment.
