Most assuredly I'm with you. No doubt about it. Now did it become this way after Israel refused or has the children of the promise never been genetic children of Abraham? Did something happen to make it switch? Is this the mystery revealed by Paul?
So if Romans 9 says it switched or it's always been why did Paul say in Romans 11;
28Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs. 29For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
If their was no longer Jew or Gentile or there never was, It doesn't sound like that is what Paul is saying in Romans 11. He is saying that they just haven't had their veil removed like Paul had.
Are you saying that no one had eternal life prior to Christ's death?
of course. Is there another way?
