Since Pentecost one is Jew by spirit. A 'spiritual Jew' as per Romans 2:28-29So too bad for you unless you is a jew, you aint special.
This means that people of the nations can become a Christian whether Jewish or non-Jewish.

But we aren't in chapter 2, we are in chapter 7, which speaks of the four animals coming out of the sea, and like I said, each represents a nation. The one which is like unto a son of man coming down out of heaven can be no other nation than Israel. Not some abstract "nation." There was no such concept in the Tanakh.The rise and fall of nations are shown in the HUGE political statue of Daniel chapter 2
Nothing. Despite what Rabbis tell themselves now. Nothing is special about the Hebrews. It's just God's love for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That's why God chose the Hebrews. No one should claim glory for themselves but give credit where it belongs; to the love of God.
Word to the wise; God is trying/testing the righteous. That is for their benefit to perfect whatever good thing God sees in them. So trouble comes to both the righteous and the wicked but it benefits one and overthrows the other.r don't troll loved ones with murder bait.
Yes, I realize it does No good to refer to the Christian Greek Scriptures for you, but merely showing my connection.But we aren't in chapter 2, we are in chapter 7, which speaks of the four animals coming out of the sea, and like I said, each represents a nation. The one which is like unto a son of man coming down out of heaven can be no other nation than Israel. Not some abstract "nation." There was no such concept in the Tanakh.
It does you no good to quote your Christian scriptures to me..........
Also, the Tanakh came first. We agree it is the word of God. It is the reed by which all other writings are measured. If the Book of Mormon is in conflict, toss it. If the Quran is in conflict with it, toss it. If the "New" Testament is in conflict, toss it. So the very fact that the Christian scriptures teach new ideas that are incompatible with the Tanakh are the reason why I simply can't accept them.
That all depends on which Jews of Israel your referring to.
And there is an 'Israel of God' and a 'spiritual Israel' by faith.
Both are special in different ways
Salvation is from the Jews for the World. Jesus told the woman at the well in John 4 that 'Salvation is of the Jews'
Yes..but there is one Israel that claims to be the true Israel of God..but they are not the true Israel...
Notice Jesus Christ saying in
Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9..
Revelation 2:9---" I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan"
Revelation 3:9---"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Therefore there are two Israel's that are claiming to be the Israel of God..
One the true Israel of God and the other is the false Israel that is claiming to be Israel..
So the question is..Who's the real Israel and who's the false Israel??
Do you know the difference between the real and the false Israel?
The church is a 'spiritual Israel' however not being elect for salvation now does not mean God will not open the eyes of physical Israel in part now or in whole later
I think it's like Joseph's brothers not recognizing Joseph and thinking him dead and irrelevant while the Egyptian gentiles were saved but eventually 'all Israel was saved' in some sense
