DLL,
<< Paul was a Jew. Paul was a Messianic Jew.>>
I can't find the word Messianic anywhere in the scriptures, what book are you quoting from?
<<We share the promise of G-d to the Jew, we do not invite them into some new gentile promise. >>
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is therefore neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ. And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. -Gal.
All (Not just a select group) who are in Christ share the promises that God made to Abraham, and Paul here affirms that in Christ there is no difference between a Jew or Greek. Many Messianic Jews on the other hand believe that God is going to reestablish the Jewish nation and cut off everyone else, do you believe that? If this were true then where would the rest of Abraham's seed reside. The scriptures state plainly that Abraham was searching for a city whose builder and foundation was the Lord. Everyone who is in Christ is also looking forward to that same city. It is called the new Jerusalem.
-Chris
