[one Lord one faith one baptism]

Paul speaks of two Israels in Romans.

True Israel which is God’s people, Jew and Gentile believers in Christ.

Secondly, national Israel, which for the most part rejected their Messiah, and has been blinded ever since. A remnant has been saved for 2,000 years now, but the fig tree has been cursed never to bear fruit again.

Btw, a sure sign that Jesus will return soon is the fig tree in bloom, national Israel foretold by Jesus in Matthew 24:32-33.
That and the apostasy in the Catholic Church foretold by Matthew 24:10-28.

Paul never called the Gentile church Israel, only that they are grafted into Israel

Btw, a sure sign that Jesus will return soon is the fig tree in bloom, national Israel foretold by Jesus in Matthew 24:32-33. That and the apostasy in the Catholic Church foretold by Matthew 24:10-28.

Yeah, right.......sigh.

Read and realize that you are lacking in the knowledge and wisdom from God.
