Sorry, kosta. Your argument only supports what the Bible teaches: God calls each person to repentance and salvation individually. He called the nation of Israel out from the pagan nations but the nation of Israel was not redeemed as a group. Neither is this church or that group. God saves individual souls, not groups.

My point was that God picked individuals from the same group (Hebrews) and not from the diverse pool of ethnic humanity. I never said the nation of Israel was redeemed as a group; I said the burden of righteousness was places on individuals or groups (hich could be as much as the entire nation of Israel, or as small as 12 apostles).

Tremendous work, sir.

I’ve been off doing Memorial day things; barbeques, family outings, nearly dying of asthma and spending quality time in the ER (first time I’ve ever called 9-1-1).

I am very much in debt to you and your answers and discourse and will try to pick up some more of my Latin slack. :)
