Read Romans 11, and tell me they were "cut off" from salvation.
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the according to nature branches, take heed that He neither spare thee.
Rom 11:22 Consider therefore the goodness and cutting off of God: on them which fell, cutting off ; but on thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they continue not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree which is so by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
The Mystery of Israel's Salvation
Rom 11:25
For I desire not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret, in order that ye should be not wise with yourselves; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is the covenant with Me to them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies on account of your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved [special] on account of the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are not to be repented of.
Rom 11:30 For as ye at one time disobeyed God, yet have now obtained mercy [were pitied] through their disobedience:
Rom 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, in order that through your mercy they also may be pitied .
Rom 11:32
For God shut up them all in unbelief, in order that He might pity all.
Rom 11:33 O the depth of the richesboth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how inscrutable are His judgments, and His ways untraceable !
Rom 11:34 For who knew the mind of the Lord? or who became His fellow-counsellor ?
Rom 11:35 Or who gave first to Him, and it shall be repaid unto him again?
Rom 11:36 For from Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory for ever. Amen.
