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.
 
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.

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.”

that's to the Jews, not Gentiles.

so for the Jews, what does it mean?
