Nancy; Well said. Your loving spirit is a blessing. I know that I have much to learn on the fine points of God. It will be a blessing to learn the complete truth directly from Messiah. Until then all we can do is see dimly the grand plan that he is pursuing to show us his loving faithfulness and mercy. I am so glad that I do not have all the answers as it blesses me to learn new things of His love. I look forward to your input. Shalom uv'rachah b'Yeshua HaMashiach - Peace and blessings in Messiah Yeshua - DLL

Hi Nancy, I pray you are continuing to lean on the Lord's understanding thru these days of mourning. I was away from the computer for awhile and I came back to several messages. Yours is the first so I will reply to it first and then continue to read on. I do agree with you and understand that I can not take a highminded attitude about being grafted in, because as I can plainly see, I was a "wild" root and I should be humbled that I was accepted.(adopted). Would you look also at the scripture we just looked at, and in context tell me what you think about verses following: I am going to use italics to tell you what I see between each verse. This is the same Chapter 11: 19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. they, meaning Jews, did not accept Jesus and were broken off, and the only reason I am grafted in is because of God's mercy and my belief and faith in Jesus, but no high-mindedness allowed 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. It says God did not spare those who did not believe, and to me it says same as.. take heed lest ye fall 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. Remember what I said earlier about full rights as an heir? Says I can ALSO be cut off from those rights, that ALSO is a big woord here to me. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. "they" looks to be Jews, Israel, chosen. If they change their minds then they also can be saved. God's mercy is open and available to all, just as it was to me,and by faith and belief they are easily grafted in.,am I right or wrong? Is that not why Donald goes to temple to tell the unbelieving Jews about Jesus? 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! To me this says what it says. If a Gentile like myself can be grafted in as wild as I am, how easy it is for the "natural" branches to come to the Lord.But IMO they have to come in belief, not just because they were branches. (((Love covers a multitude of sin and is the only way to walk in the light of the Lord.))) I could not agree with you more here. In Him dan
