As usual, you completely missed my point that 'Paul does not always refer to believers as Israel' and instead, you introduced a red herring.

No, Jesus IS Israel along with those who believe in him. Paul spoke of the physical Jews who were removed from Israel with the death of the last genuinely circumcised Jew.
Got it. So you are saying blindness has happened to Jesus since in your formula Jesus always equals Israel...
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (Rom 11:25)
Newsflash: There still are 'genuinely circumcised Jews' existing. Where do you make this stuff up? LOL
Hello there, @Dave L
That has not been my experience. The desire is to seek those divisions that exist within Scripture, which are of God's hand, not to impose divisions borne of human understanding.

Hello again, @Dave L,
My experience of dispensational truth is through literature, and audio: the works of Dr E.W. Bullinger and Charles H. Welch, for example, being the source of much praise to God. However, as I have said previously, it is a means to an end, only. The knowledge of God, in Christ Jesus, being it's object, and the knowledge of His will, and of the glorious hope set before us, in Him.
Praise His Holy Name!
In Christ Jesus

It's mainly the Darby/Scofield Dispensationalists who I believe make false separations. Based on God placing fallen men under tests they all ready flunked in Adam, and have no chance of passing apart from grace.
Technically, the cross generation were the last of the physical unbelieving Jews. God removed them from Israel, as Paul says they became "broken off". And any who embrace Christ will be reattached by faith along with the other believing gentiles.
Simply Everyone needs to do it correctly.
Claiming that one group is arbitrary . . . that can be arbitrarily done.
Much love!
So no more national Israel? Is that correct? The physical descendents of Jacob are no longer significant to God's plan, except as they become Christians like anyone else?
Much love!
According to scripture Jesus Is Israel along with believers. The broken of unbelievers are no longer biblical Jews, but gentiles of Jewish ethnicity. Any who accept Christ will be reattached to Israel through faith.
