"His people?" There has always been only one people, one promise, one family of God -- those whom receive grace through faith. There is no "larger plan." There is only "the plan," ordained by God from before the foundation of the world.
And that plan, whispered in the Old Testament, is now shouted from the New Testament to all men --
"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36
"His people" are not unbelieving Jews nor unbelieving atheists nor unbelieving new-agers nor unbelieving Icelandics.
"His people" are all those who possess faith in Jesus Christ, now and in the days to come. How could Paul be clearer than this...?
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." -- Romans 9:6-8"Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Why would anyone continue to glorify the children of the flesh when it is the children of the promise who are counted for the seed, the elect of God?
Ah the same reason they will believe the Zohar, but not the Bible: man is lord of the universe
Are you sure that you understand what you are quoting???
Romans 9:7 says: "Neither, because thay are the seed of Abraham are they all children, but in Isaac shall thy seed be called".
Ishmael was the child of the flesh. Isaac was the child of promise and all the 12 tribes descended from Isaac.
