So, in conclusion, being of Israel is open to anyone who believes on Jesus. Jew, Greek, slave or free. Just as Paul says in Romans, 2:28-29, that being a Jew is no longer of an outward expression, but a circumcision of the heart through faith in Jesus Christ.
Is Israel Isaac or are they Ishmael? 🧵 below:
The book of Galatians and Romans answers our questions on if Christians should support Israel.
We have been told the Lord will bless those who bless Israel and curse those that curse. This comes from the Abraham Covenant-Gen 12

Roman’s 11 there is a remnant of Israel but the rest have been cut off and gentiles grafted in to the root (Jesus) so now when it says all Israel will be saved it means all in Christ who are the new and perfect Israel (Jesus) that obeyed the law.
Study Galatians especially ch 3-4. Then study Romans 9-11. Jesus shed his blood, the blood of a NEW covenant for you and me so that we all might be grafted in to the root (himself) and receive salvation when all Israel (the church chosen by grace) will be saved through Him.
@MikeWingerii I wouldn’t wish the pain on anyone. We also can’t say people are sinning and use biblical text incorrectly. Context matters and James was written to believers suffering persecution and living in poverty reminding them that true religion was to care for the widows and orphans.
@MikeWingerii The care however was for those who couldn’t socially or economically provide for themselves. We even have the story of Zelophehad’s daughters of the example of the possible difficulty. Again, I’m not saying she was involved. I’m addressing the biblical exegesis
@realDonaldTrump Homeschool families should receive the same payment for their child they are choosing to homeschool that the local school would receive if that child were to be enrolled in public education.
