I agree with that. The believers.

I'll let Paul say it too..."Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called." (Rom 9:6-7)

From Gen 6:8, and Noah..."But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Does that overshadow the fact that by grace He came to us humans? I think not. Yes, gracefully He did. And gracefully He opened the doors to Gentiles too. Thanks be to our graceful God ! It is only irrelevant to those...

I feel you err in thinking one cannot hope for the impossible.

Those words which seem to be from me were NOT FROM ME. So, back to this question... What applies to me is the Law of Christ. Love God with all your heart, strength, mind, and soul, and love your neighbor as you love yourself. As not murdering, not stealing, not telling lies, and not committing...

The believing Jews were from the start "saved" by grace. Don't you consider the fact that Jesus even came to be "by grace"? Jesus gracefully took all our past sins on Himself. Jesus, by grace, endured the sufferings and death we all deserved. Jesus gracefully provided all we require to live as...

The true Israel is not the nation of Israel.

As Paul makes it clear that there will be no murderers, liars, thieves, or adulterers, etc., going to heaven, (Gal 5, Eph 5), it seems some of the Israeli Laws are in still in effect for NT converts.

Judas truly was a fool, wasn't he. Manifest your belief every day, and it won't crumble under pressure.

The context of what I posted was correct. Gentiles are grafted into Israel, who is Christ . You changed the subject. But it doesn't matter, as we do agree that the Gentile believers were grafted into/onto the believing Israel. All believes are now in one body. Christ's body.

You agreed with what I posted and then disagreed with it. :unsure: Agreed. Agreed, but the same rules apply to everyone else too.

How about after One, by grace, furnishes a Law? Wasn't the Law of God good ? After the Lord appears to Him? (v1) The doubting Abe asked God for a sign that God's promise was true, (v2), and God calmed his worries, (v4-5), and Abe finally believed and was counted as righteous. (v6). The Lord...

Correcto ! So what you just posted above is an error? That "the Gentiles were grafted onto Jesus"? I am sorry you can't see it the way I see it. Despite your agreement with what I posted. To make such a case with a difference between "into" and "among" makes so little sense.

Yet God gave Moses the Law because he was graceful to them. Whatever. One is a simile. One tree is real, while the other was a metaphor. Hardly a fair comparison.

Just the unbelieving Israelites were cut off. Then the believing Gentiles were grafted on. Amen, and, Jesus wasn't cut off. Open your mind. Jesus is the Israel the Gentiles were grafted onto.

Double talk. Just as often as an apple seed can bring forth pumpkins. The seed determines the fruit. How did "they" know Abe' was faithful? By his obedience to God. Chronologically or according to height? Had Abe not obeyed God, his belief would have been as strong as the paper it was...

In a different simile, Christ is indeed the Branch. I did just post that, "we Gentiles were grafted onto is the branch of Israel". Jesus was/is faithful to Himself, and He was of Israel, so I see no disharmony in that.

It is written..."For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;"...

Manifest that confession. Jesus, (Matt 22:40) I agree, though you have changed the subject. You referred to a work but now don't refer to a work of the Law? You've lost me. That verse doesn't prove what you say. Can't you? Agreed. God did, as grace was around since Noah, but Law didn't...

I wonder if Russia had planned on moving into Lithuania and Latvia by now, if they had not been stopped in Ukraine?
