My screen name is not “I am grafted into the branches”.

“Now if some of the branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive branch, have been grafted in their place to share the rich root of the olive tree, ....”

One grafts branches.
Also, the root was Jesse, from which Christ is the shoot out of that stump.

Some research before you preach, please.

I fail to see any scripture for your theory...

Isa_11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Rom_15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

Jesus is never called the shoot of a stump...Jesus IS the root and the stump...

Rev_22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

We're not talking modern forestry where you cut off a branch and graft a new branch to it...We're talking about the branch being ripped off from the trunk...The branch is gone...And Christians are grafted into the trunk which is part of the root...

Some research before you preach, please.

Oh I've done plenty of research...That's why I'm not taken in by this 'the church is Israel' replacement theology...

The Gentile church is in Jesus, it is not in Israel...Jewish Christians are in Jesus, they are no longer in Israel...
