Ok I've got to ask a question that is more rhetorical and a question I've been mauling over in my brain but of which I haven't researched yet. When the scripture refers to the Jews as God's Chosen people is it referring to the Jews as a Nation but not a blood line or is it referring to the Jews as a Nation and blood line. My gut feeling is it is referring to the Nation as a whole and not the Jews individually unless there is a play on words like Paul telling us a real Jew is someone who heart is circumcised.
Another question that has come up in my mind of which I haven't researched is was the Old Covenant specifically given to the Nation of Israel or was it given to them to give to the rest of the world, or are the references on the Old Covenant referring to a prior event that precedes the giving of the Law through Moses.
And finally are all references to the Old Covenant referring to the same thing.
Another question that has come up in my mind of which I haven't researched is was the Old Covenant specifically given to the Nation of Israel or was it given to them to give to the rest of the world,
How does Paul deal with God's covenant with Abraham?
Please read further down to the bottom of the thread. There are good details that will help you answer all of those questions.
