The Apostle Paul didn’t mean to embrace the New Age philosophy to spread the Gosple by embracing those New Age Bible versions.
.
Read the prophets!
Yehova divorced his harlot wife, but then re-married her when her husband gave his life for her.
This was the “mystery” of which Paul spoke in Romans 7.
No violation of Torah took place because the wife’s husband had died (Yeshua).
Romans 7 can not possibly apply because the divorced wife no longer had a husband...And if you can show me where Israel re-married God I'll consider your opinion, but since there's not a single verse in the bible that even hints at that, I have no choice but to reject that idea because scripture clearly tells us that the Bride of Christ will be Gentiles...
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Paul is speaking to Gentiles here...These are not the lost tribes of Israel...And how do we know that??? Because Paul addresses those lost tribes later in Romans...
Rom 11:8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Rom 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Rom 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Rom 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
The 'them' is Israel...
Rom 11:25 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.
Rom 11:26 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:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
God is not done with Israel...Their time is not yet...But they will no longer be his wife again...
What amazes me is that you can accept some of the new Testament but you reject most of it...
That’s a really great post. I tried just skimming it, then realized I had to read it well. I agree with it completely. Thank you.

Simple:
It’s all about Israel, and those who choose to sojourn with them.
That is who will get saved on the day of Trumpets.
Israel is of course the believing remnant; not all who claim ancestry.

Self-contradictory statement!
The “Lost Sheep of the House of Israel” are the gentiles. Those who are not “in covenant” are gentiles. They are to whom Yeshua was sent (Mat 15:24)
