“What was the point of Paul’s discourse . . . That Christian gentiles were grafted into Abraham’s spiritual inheritance!

The topic was NOT God’s everlasting promises TO genetic Israel!”

Answer:

What genetic inheritence?

Sounds like a doctrine of the flesh to me.

You have created a false idol based on man’s DNA and not on the Blood of Christ. Hence, you have terribly demeaned the Cross of Christ.

You have created a Replacement Theology all of your own:

Race instead of Grace.

Well, you're wrong. God's promised to Abraham's seed are everlasting, including those according to the flesh.

Until and unless God breaks the covenant with Abraham, that covenant according to the flesh is still in effect.

Romans 11:1 1I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life." 4But what is God’s reply to him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." 5So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Romans 11:25-29 25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

"The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob"; 27"and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins."

28As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
