Greetings Alan, << are you a spiritual Jew ? >> Yes, as also are all TRUE born-again believers in Christ. Rom.2:28-29, " For He is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but He is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in the Spirit; not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God ". Rom. 9:6-8, " But it is not that the Word of God has taken no effect. FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL WHO ARE OF ISRAEL, NOR ARE THEY CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM; but, IN ISAAC YOUR SEED SHALL BE CALLED. THAT IS, THOSE WHO ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE FLESH, THESE ARE NOT THE CHILDREN OF GOD; BUT THE CHILDREN OF PROMISE ARE COUNTED AS THE SEED. Claiming to have a Jewish bloodline or heritage means absolutely nothing without having the faith of Abraham in your heart. There has always been one people of God, those under the Old Covenant who believed as Abraham and looked ahead to the promised Messiah, and now in the New Covenant ALL nations and peoples who believe that Jesus is the Christ , the Son of God. Your many responses to any believer in Christ who challenges your heresies in light of the Word of God always is met with the same response, that is we hate Jews or you try to associate us with other cults. I will say it one more time, hoping you will hear, I love the Jewish people as I do all other peoples and by Gods grace, will present them the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do you not understand Alan that the Old Covenant is no longer existent but has been replaced by the New Covenant in Jesus Blood. The state of Israel for nearly 2000 years cannot claim any privileges since the Old Covenant is no longer in force. God now recognizes one people, those who have the faith of Abraham in the Messiah , the Lord Jesus Christ. Robert
