Are you a religious Jew

I'm grafted into the one Israel of God and am an inheritor of the promises given to Abraham.

I 'divide' the scripture where it needs dividing

Then your theology rests on a questionable translation. Orthotomeho need not mean "divide rightly"; it can also simply mean teach correctly or teach in a straightforward manner.

The division between Jew and Gentile no longer exists in the Church. Don't believe me, believe Ephesians 2:11-22.

More precisely, Orthotomeho means "make a straight cut";, "to dissect correctly"...

And that's a far more clear definition than 'teach correctly or teach in a straightforward manner'...And that means the scripture needs dividing, or dissecting...Makes no sense to 'water down' the definition unless there's a motive behind it...

Me...Are you a religious Jew???

You... I'm grafted into the one Israel of God and am an inheritor of the promises given to Abraham.

You answered my question here...The division between Jew and Gentile no longer exists in the Church. Don't believe me, believe Ephesians 2:11-22.

In the church... You are NOT a religious Jew...You have been adopted into the church, the spiritual inheritance offered to the religous Jews who, BTW, rejected it...

Therefore, the signs are not for you...
