Sir, or Ma’am,

I believe that Jesus is/was the Son of God and the Son of man; that He followed Gods will, came to earth, born of a virgin; He led a perfect, sinless life; laid His life down and died on the cross; was buried in a borrowed tomb; and rose again on the third day; He ascended to heaven and sits at the right hand of God and will return to this earth.

In His words He came to find that which was lost - the Jewish nation, the people of God. He was rejected and His salvation was extended to all. Jesus the man was a Jew. And when one accepts Him as Savior, one is grafted into the vine, the vine of Gods people.

If you say that I am just defending my beliefs, so be it. But to try to ‘teach’ me that what is above is wrong, well, you would be wasting your time and this forums bandwidth.

If you will not consider that that which I have written is true, then you do not wish to ‘learn’ either.

Just a matter of imagery, but we're grafted, as wild olive branches, into the cultivated tree of Israel, according to Paul (Romans 11:24). Jesus spoke about himself as the vine and our necessity of abiding in him as productive branches.

Good, then let's have a conversation.

Accepted.

In His words He came to find that which was lost - the Jewish nation, the people of God. He was rejected and His salvation was extended to all. Jesus the man was a Jew. And when one accepts Him as Savior, one is grafted into the vine, the vine of Gods people.

Can you show me exactly which verse of scripture you are referring to? I think I know, but I want to be certain. Also, can you define Jew for me so that we're not talking at cross purposes?
