If the church is not Israel, to whom are the broken off Jews reattached to by faith in Christ?
Hello
The broken off branches of unbelieving Israel are grafted back into the good olive tree which bears the fruitful branches of the election of grace, the little flock. Romans 11:5 Romans 11:24 Luke 12:32

Christ's Church is... God's Israel. It is made up of both believing Israelites and believing Gentiles, as ONE BODY in Christ Jesus, just as Jesus and His Apostles taught!

The literal seed of Israel that believe on Jesus will not be forgotten as God's chosen. They are the natural branches per Apostle Paul. The believing Gentiles are the wild branches graffed in among them.


Amazing how some keep trying to break this idea up and instead preach lies against Christ's body...

Rom 11:24-29
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild 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?


25 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.


26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, 'There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:


27 For this is My covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.'

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.


29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

KJV

What???

That 'little flock' of Luke 12 of course is Christ's Church, made up of BOTH believing Israelites and believing Gentiles, together, as ONE BODY.
