Do you think you are part of the commonwealth of Israel ?

Sure, AV. And I might even review your irrelevant scripture passage if you make it eadable, and without your uninteresting citation legible.

Here is the advantage I/we saved "Christians" have now that the middle wall of the temple separating the Gentile adherents from the Hebrew constituents, was broken down and removed:

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Wherefore remember, that ye (1)being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are
(2)called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
That at that time ye were
(3) without Christ, being
(4) aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and s
(5) strangers from the covenants of promise,
(6) having no hope, and
(7) without God in the world:
But now
(1) in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off
(2) are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For he is our peace, who hath
(3) made both one, and hath (4) broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having
(5) abolished in his flesh the enmity,
even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to
(6) make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might
(7) reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross,
(8) having slain the enmity thereby:

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and
to them that were nigh.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now therefore ye are
(1) no more strangers and foreigners, but
(2)fellowcitizens with the saints, and
(3)of the household of God; And are
(4) built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto
an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom
(5) ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."
(Eph. 2:10-22)

I am of the commonwealth of the Kingdom of The God, whose temporal extension on earth is the Kingdom of heaven composed of local assemblies giving their allegiance to the Lord of Heaven, impure, but His.

Another legiimate question?

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

" And I might even review your irrelevant scripture passage if you make it readable ... "

I have asked politely to have these AfVet posts more readable, to no avail. Who knows why the poster continues with this passive/aggressive behavior. NUT I have found that doing a drag over the light blue texts turns the background blue and the lettering with and more readable for old eyes.
