same here, but i have reread your answers and if you were God and this was Judgement Day, you would not only send the Jews to Hell but do it with a smile.
I am not God, and your remark is uncouth and lacks any decency one would expect in a Christin. Besides.....how would you know?

here's the same Greek text Jerome used in 350 AD.

Romans 11:
1 I say, then, Did God cast away his people? It can not be; for I am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God did not cast away his people whom he foreknew.

that's rather clear in my opinion.
I am a Jew and am also a saved, born again Christian. I don't know which tribe my ancestors belonged to, but I am in Christ so it's irrelevant.

a Christian would not judge the Jews and condemn them either and search for Scripture that nails the coffin for their eternal Doom!

if Jesus, Peter, Paul, Jude, and John quote Enoch, it does not have to be a Biblical source voted by MEN, it only has to be a truthful source and why they quote it.
But there is no evidence to back up your claim, which means no one accepts it. Show proof, or it isn't truth. That simply!

Jesus did not have a problem with the jews...he had a problem with the Pharisees
Many readers dont see this.
They think all jews are the same but their not. There are many sects of jews. Then there are some who claim to be but are not.
All israel to be saved does not mean all jews.

As I stated earlier, Paul said no such thing as the word "nation" was not there! Remember?
Romans 11:32 for God [[has shut up ((all)) in unbelief]], that he might have mercy upon all.

that's rather clear everyone is going have the Mercy of God upon them which is ALL of ISRAEL!

John 8:37 Context
33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Your heritage is irrelevant. It is the fact that you are Christian that makes it praise-worthy! Welcome, brother!

Does Matthew 21:33-45 shed any light on the subject matter, particularly verse 43 🤔

Yes, God has made a covenant, but we must not break Covenant if we want to be in that number when the Saints go marching in.


Romans 11:27

“For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”

you first, because I know you are wrong, and you try to trap others when your ignorance prevents you from winning any debate. Your form is dismissable!

that's to the Jews, not Gentiles.

so for the Jews, what does it mean?
