I only asked you that because many don't believe that they are to obey God. And because you said thisDid I say I do not obey Him?
You're a slanderer like your father the Devil. You can't stand before Scripture cited correctly so you flee to slanderous questions that are supported by NOTHING I have said.
The olive tree is not figurative of Israel. It is figurative of the place of God's blessing. The Gentile nations have obtained the blessing of God's grace DESPITE Israel's failure, since going all the way back to Moses, Israel was intended to be the channel of God's blessing to the rest of the world (the nation of priests). But God's grace bypassed blinded Israel and negated all national distinctions...Israel was cut off for unbelief, as will unbelieving Gentile nations when this dispensation of grace ends. That's what Romans ch. 9-11 is about...nations, not individuals.
"not because they keep themselves safe and attached through obedience."
So I was wondering if you believe that we should obey God. Because if we don't obey God, then he won't stay with us, regardless of what many think. He won't stay in an unrepentant heart and he won't leave his Spirit in heart that chooses the world before him.
And those whose father is the devil, are those who live by the will of Satan, tossed too and fro by him, loving the treasures of this world and the pleasures of this life and falling for his temptations, those who love the lusts of their flesh and this world before God and are not willing to let go and live by the will of the father, those who know God, but rather put themselves and their lives before him, those who when they hear the truth, hate it because it goes against the life they love in the flesh. They are the children of disobedience, being held by the Prince of this world he who is full of darkness and he is keeping many in chains of darkness away from God through their own lust.
