The natural branches are cut off, and, as such, have no hope, no "holiness,' but are utterly damned unless they convert. You read warnings about Gentile peoples being cut off from the tree, but ignore that Paul is warning them from sharing the Jews' fate.
“The natural branches are cut off, and, as such, have no hope, no “holiness,’ but are utterly damned unless they convert.”
While I agree they must be born again and some have been and all will in the near future IAW Scripture. The branches are not cut off, but SOME have been broken off so that we may be grafted in.
Romans 11:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans 11:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans 11:28-32 King James Version (KJV)
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
They are loved by our God because of the Patriarchs and if my God loves them so do I! They became enemies for our sake, Praise God for the Jewish people for now we have hope. We can be nourished from the Root also
As are you, except you continue in his goodness; the Apostle said not to boast against the branches. The Jews are beloved of God.
You read warnings about Gentile peoples being cut off from the tree, but ignore that Paul is warning them from sharing the Jews' fate.
The warning is not to be wise in your own conceit, but fear and to continue in God's goodness, always being merciful to the Jews, who are holy because the root is holy, and are beloved for the fathers' sake.
