He ceased to be a Gentile when his name changed and he became the progenitor of Israel, the covenant people (which does not include you or me).
wait wut? What does blood lineage have to do with any of this? Israel is because of PROMISE not blood even back then...
Abraham and Sarah were barren and beyond childbearing years...thus their blood lineage was fini DONE kaputt OVER...
It was ONLY BY SPIRITUAL INTERVENTION and of the DIVINE which PROMISED a lineage for a FAITH relationship and certainly NOT BLOOD or works that created an ISRAEL...Israel was never about blood a natural biological action...but Promise...Isaac was by promise alone...not by man
Genesis 21:1
Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised.
Genesis 21:7
And she added, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age."
Hebrews 11:11
And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.
Jacob too was biologically a descendant of his grandfather’s miracle of faith it is true but he wasn’t exactly Israel either was he? Israel came to be by DIVINE INTERVENTION ONLY...and in NAME only not DNA...
Just as a modern jew is NOT ethnic as there are Chinese jews Ethiopian jews German jews French jews Spanish jews Sammy Davis Jr jews...Semitic or not ashkanazi jews Sephardic jews etc etc etc
And finally the Hebrew slaves slaving there in Egypt DID NOTHING to be saved but it was FOR HIS NAME’S SAKE for His covenant with their fathers that He rescued them...they merely needed faith...they believed they were descendant of that PROMISE not that biological occurrence...
Many non native strangers foreigners gers goyim left egypt with them...is why they were called hebrews...and organized as a nation NOT a new race...
And throughout the history of the church in the wilderness it was ALWAYS ONE LAW for native and non native alike...
Is why specifically the ONLY commandment including goyim in its provision was the Sabbath commandment...the irony...as all this MAD “law don’t apply to us” or normal christiandom’s “the Law is abolished” is to avoid this very inclusive and still binding one...
No one today has any covenant "deal" to claim with God. None. That stopped when Israel was set aside, stumbled and blinded in unbelief and refusal to repent before Messiah.
what “It is finished” was sealing the New Covenant that now WHOSOEVER believes shall not perish...just as His house was to be a house of prayer for ALL nations...and to be bless ALL nations...
That's what the book of Acts and Romans ch. 9-11 are all about.
what you have done with Paul... Philip John Peter et al never dreamed of...oh wait but they warned us of false teachers with another gospel and other Christ’s...wolves in sheeps clothing with jewish fables and proccupations with genealogies...
That means all who would obey Him can come to Him by graceonly,
so is it obedience or grace only?...IF it be grace only no need for obedience indeed...but if it be obedience then obedience to Whom what which when...?
And unlike the OT where they were to come to Him...in the present contract He came to us...and to any who believe and He remains with those who repent obey wash and repeat
extended only in the Gospel of the grace of God (that's why it's called that).
that gospel of grace was long before Israel in the garden even when Adam and Eve were spared...
and those faithful believers that were before this present covenant would happily want to obey this present contract’s terms being by FAITH His people He called Israel wanted to obey as they had faith in the Promise...which NOW has COME...and will FULFILL the rest
Let us know how you do trying to call God in on the covenant terms you think you have Him bound to.
again...the new bride does NOT have Him bound to us NOR do we seek to bind Him...as did old isreal but He has US bound...His obedient people...
NO BOUNDS except the ones we WANT...for He so loved the WORLD...that WHOSOEVER believes...
Perhaps your desire to be free of burdens and yokes leaves you like a sacred cow in india...unowned and without purpose...but free to wander the streets at will...
Oh and BTW your private notification was noted...you do come across as MAD and threatening...
