James,
It is a serious crime here to agree with Emile but I have understood for a long time that we are all grafted into the vine, Jesus. Jesus is Jewish so we all are Jewish. We are jews who are jews inwardly as Paul stated, in the spirit. What are the "jewish" people who are not born again? They are dead in there sins, that's what. The label of being jewish will not help them at all, no more than any gentile. Those labels are unimportant. There are saved and unsaved, nothing else. The "body of christ" is the nation that belongs to God and that is what matters. The purpose of the nation of Israel in these last days is for God to decide which He already has. It's just for us to find out as His plans unfold and our understanding increases.

The wheat and tares grow together until they are separated. That will happen at the end of the great tribulation during the time of the mark of the beast. When this is completed the body of Christ will be taken up in the twinkling of an eye and the tares will be thrown into the wine press of the wrath of God. Then the wrath of God will be poured out on mankind. We, the church, will suffer tribulation but we are not appointed to wrath.

Bob

<<Furthermore, Jacob and Israel are referred to as Jews eighty times in the Old Testament and 170 times in the New Testament. So how is one going to justify such overwhelming evidence? >>

James, the Israel that's being referred to here is the spiritual Israel. In other words the true seed of Abraham.

<<When Galatians 6:15,16 speaks about the God of Israel, it is in relation to converted Jews -- Hebrew Christians. But that doesn't make the entire Church Jewish! >>

Paul was talking to the church in Galatia which was a province of Rome. The purpose of the whole epistle was to eradicate the doctrinal errors which had been recently introduced by the hostile Judaizers and to urge the Galatian Christians to hold firmly to what they had been taught by Paul at the beginning.-Hebrew Greek Key Study Bible

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness
Know ye not that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ

The Jewish nation wrongfully believes that the promises were made to them only. This is false doctrine.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father...

..the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.-John 4:24
