Israel IS the Church <---> OP

Disagree.

Israel is the a CHOSEN people.

The CHURCH is a "GRAFTED" branch of people, "GRAFTED" into the "Chosen" people.

Not the other way around.

Glory to God,
Taken
If so, to whom are the broken off believers grafted into upon believing in Christ? Themselves?

As has been said to you----Play all the Word games you want---It's still Supersessionism/ REPLACEMENT Theology.
Also, you prove my point. You post multiple threads trying to teach the same FALSE DOCTRINE to others under a different name.
Man, why someone would not only want to oppose GOD's Word, HIS Will & Plan for Israel, but place themselves in the category of teacher to receive an extra heaping of God's displeasure. Just blind , I guess.

If God removed the unbelievers according to Romans 11, to whom are they grafted back into if they believe in Christ? Themselves?

"in Christ", "as to create in Himself one new man from the two."

Understood what you meant in your post but then you lost me here: could you explain further? Christ is not divided. “Create in Himself one new man from two.” What God has joined let no man separate...yet you seem to separate the two brought together in One and that One being Christ? It is said not all are Israel but those of the promise are Israel and the times of the Gentiles being the fulfillment of the Spiritual children born of that promise. The seed which they are of which is Him. The children of the promise. It is His flesh (not to include all Israel but those of the promise) and His bone the children are born of. I’m not sure how continuing to speak of separation between what is joined in Christ??

There is the matter of Pentecost, the birthday of the church (Acts 2).

As always you ignore the rest of Romans 11 .

You have had this explained to you with scripture on every forum you've been on where you've promoted this same Anti-semitic , false teaching of replacement theology- but can't be reasoned with, & can't recognize the error and do not rightly divide the word, ignore what contradicts the pet replacement theology beliefs. God's covenant with Israel stands FOREVER and it is for HIS chosen Jewish people. Stop replacing them with the "church" and LET GOD OPEN your EYES to what His scripture KEEPS TELLING YOU. God has not gone back on His promises to Israel & He never will.

Romans 11 : "25
For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
“THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB.”

27“THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM,
WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS.”

There was a difference before and after Pentecost; after Pentecost the Holy Spirit came to indwell.

least to the greatest...
Jeremiah 6:13-16
[13] For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. [14] They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. [15] Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the Lord . [16] Thus saith the Lord , Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein .

Acts 8:9-10
[9] But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: [10] To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.

Hebrews 8:10-13
[10] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [11] And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. [12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [13] In that he saith, A new covenant , he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

John 8:7-9
[7] So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. [8] And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. [9] And they which heard it , being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Least to greatest passes away: in Christ there is one body of many members joined and fitted together by His flesh and bone. Neither Greek nor Jew...neither circumcision nor uncircumcised but rather all made one in Spirit.

...but before Pentecost they were not born again and indwelt in the same way. When the Lord Jesus ascended, He said the Holy Spirit would come to dwell.

I don't know about that, I believe those in the OT were just as regenerate as we are today. In fact, Christ rebuked Nicodemus for not concluding this from OT Scripture, being the teacher of Israel; John 3:10. We should not be making the same rudimentary error.

I think you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater because of "indwelt." Think beyond that.

David did pray: 'Take not thy holy Spirit from me'. An indwelt New Testament believer does not need to pray this.

If circumcision made one a physical member of Israel, and circumcision no longer exists, Physical Israel does not exist in truth.
That is correct. These are the times of the gentiles.

Indeed they are. But they continue till the end of the world in which case Jesus tells to preach the gospel to the whole world (gentiles) until then. So they are now some of the gentiles we preach to.

No, not Christ divide, but rather the two "in Christ" as One. The two are biblical Israel and the gentiles, but spiritually they are the dead and the living in new life in Christ - this is salvation, to those who were lost (dead).

The time of the gentiles is over when the church is raptured and then the tribulation, when God turns His full attention to save Israel.

This is true regarding the Church. But after the Church has been completed, God and Christ will begin dealing directly with the Jews and Israel in order to finally establish a redeemed and restored Israel on earth. And that is why this OP is FALSE AND UNSCRIPTURAL.

Yes, the modern nation of Israel and the bloodline have been cut from the Root and are not biblical Israel.

That is the false teaching of Supersessionism.
Give us the exact Bible scripture that states this--> "the modern nation of Israel and the bloodline have been cut from the Root"
