And the confusion about GRAFFED (GRAFTED) IN GENTILES

 

The KJV uses the English word 'adoption' in the place of the original Greek word uihothesia.

Uihothesia does not mean 'adoption'.

 

As a result of this, the 'churches' have gone their own way and created this doctrine of adoption.

Here is just one example of what these 33K denominational 'churches' are teaching:

 

Question: "What does it mean that the church has been grafted in Israel’s place?"

Answer:
In Romans 11:11–24 Paul compares Israel to the natural branches of a cultivated olive tree and the Gentile believers to the branches of a wild olive tree. The natural branches (Israel) were broken off, and the wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in (verse 17). The Gentiles, then, have been made partakers of the promises and inherit the blessings of God’s salvation.

It is important to understand how God called Israel to be His people and how they failed to fulfill that calling. As the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel were chosen by God to be a separate people, holy to the Lord. God’s design was for them to be a light to the Gentiles so that they, too, might know God (Genesis 18:17–19; Isaiah 42, 49). Instead, the Israelites chased foreign gods and betrayed their calling (Ezekiel 23; Hosea 11). But God, who knew they would do this, had already promised to restore His kingdom to Israel after they rebelled and then eventually repented (Deuteronomy 30:1–10). So God sent His Son, preceded by a forerunner, to invite Israel to “repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17).

However, when Jesus revealed Himself as the promised Davidic King who would restore Israel (Matthew 11—12; Acts 3:19–22), He was rejected by the Jews, exactly as Isaiah had prophesied (Isaiah 52—53). Jesus therefore called His disciples to fulfill Abraham’s commission to bless the nations (Genesis 12:2–3) by preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to all nations until the end of this age (Matthew 28:18–20). Paul thus preached the gospel of the Kingdom to the Jews and was repeatedly rejected (Acts 13—28); in consequence, Paul brought the good news to the Gentiles, who in turn became Abraham’s spiritual seed by faith and heirs of the promises to Abraham and his seed (Galatians 3—4). This is what Paul meant in Romans 11 by the Gentiles being “grafted” into the “olive tree” and nourished by the “root” (the promises to Abraham). The tree thus signifies the collective people of God; the “wild branches” grafted in are Gentile believers; the “natural branches” that are cut off are the Jews in unbelief. Jewish believers remain in the tree but are joined with Gentiles and “made” into a “new body,” the Church (Ephesians 2:11–22).

Paul anticipated a question that would surely arise among his Gentile readers: “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?” (Romans 11:1)—Gentile believers would be tempted to dismiss Israel because it appeared they would never recover. Even today, there are those who advocate supersessionism or replacement theology, which holds that the Church has completely replaced Israel and will inherit the promises to be fulfilled only in a spiritual sense. In other words, according to this view, ethnic Israel is forever excluded from the promises—the Jews will not literally inherit the Promised Land. What then would happen to Israel? What about the Old Testament prophecies that Israel as a nation would repent and be re-gathered to the land in the last days as a permanent possession (Deuteronomy 30:1–10)?

Romans 11 thus conclusively shows Gentile believers that God is not yet “done” with Israel, who has only temporarily lost the privilege of representing God as His people. Since “the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable” (11:29), “all Israel will be saved” in order to fulfill God’s covenant with ethnic Israel (11:25–28), including the promise of land inheritance (Deuteronomy 30:1–10).

While the “natural branches” were cut off because Israel failed, God’s purposes are not complete until Israel is also grafted back into the people of God to share in the promises to Abraham and his seed. This brings full circle God’s larger redemptive plan (Romans 11:30–36) for both Jews and Gentiles as distinct populations within the people of God in the Davidic (or Millennial) Kingdom. Indeed, the prophets saw this Kingdom as the “final form” of the olive tree, so that Israel—reversing roles—would then bless the Gentiles, enabling them to join the people of God (see Zechariah 8:13, 20–23).

 

OK, let's examine this 'church' doctrinal explanation and compare it to what scripture reveals.

 

Question: "What does it mean that the church has been grafted in Israel’s place?"

Answer:
In Romans 11:11–24 Paul compares Israel to the natural branches of a cultivated olive tree and the Gentile believers to the branches of a wild olive tree. The natural branches (Israel) were broken off, and the wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in (verse 17). The Gentiles, then, have been made partakers of the promises and inherit the blessings of God’s salvation.

 

Now the confusion begins with the identity of who is who.

The 'churches' teach that the Jews are Israel and the Gentiles are the non-Jews.

This is the first major error in misunderstanding what is going on here.

We will not go into great detail in this study about who true Israel is and who the Gentiles are. Those studies are available to examine at your convenience.

Please see the Who's Who section in the menu on the website.

Gentiles  ​​ ​​​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/gentiles-2/

The Twelve Tribes  ​​ ​​ ​​​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/the-twelve-tribes/

Jew or Judah? ​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/jew-or-judah/

All you need to understand at this time is that Jews are not Israelites. Genesis 3:15 tells us that there are 2 seedlines of peoples that would have enmity against each other perpetually.

Genesis 3:15 ​​ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shalt bruise His heel.

Cain was not Adam's son. Cain was spawned from the unholy union between Eve and the serpent in the garden. Not an actual serpent that can talk and who convinced Eve to eat an apple that is not even mentioned in these verses, as the 'churches'teach. But Eve was beguiled into laying with someone other than Adam. The words 'tree', 'know', 'touch', 'food', and 'eat', in the Hebrew all have sexual meanings.  ​​​​ 

Esau, the brother of Jacob, later mixed with the daughters of Heth. The daughters of Heth were descendants of the cursed seed Canaanite tribes that had mixed with the sons of Cain. Esau's children became known as the Edomite Jews.

Jews are Canaanites and Edomites.

The children of Jacob are Anglo-Saxon Israelites.

'Gentiles' is a Latin word that does not belong in the Bible. It does not mean non-Jew.

Wherever you see the word 'Gentiles' it should read 'nations'. The Hebrew and Greek words 'goyim' and 'ethnos' mean 'nations' or 'peoples', and the context determines which 'nations' or 'peoples'. Most of the time 'the nations' are referring to Israelite nations. Sometimes 'the nations' are referring to Adamic nations, the nations that sprung from sons of Adam and later from Noah's three sons. And only a few times 'the nations' refers to the other races outside the race of Adam, even Jews are 'goyim' and 'ethnos', because Jews are also a group of people.

Adamkind is mankind and is the white race, as the definition of the Hebrew word 'adam' (awdawm) defines.

The other races are Humans or Humankind. Hued man. Not white.

The fraudulent and deceptive word 'Gentiles' also refers to Jews, showing that the Hebrew and Greek words for 'Gentiles' simply means a nation, or race, of people.

If Isaac and his wife Rebekah were Jews (which they were not), then how could two Gentiles (nations) be in her womb?

The word 'nations' is goyim in the Hebrew and is the word used for the two nations in Rebekah's womb.

Now that we got that out of the way let's proceed.

Let's read Romans 11:11-24 from the KJV and rightly discern the Word of Truth.

 

Romans 11:11 ​​ I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), for to provoke them to jealousy.

In this verse, Paul is speaking to the Romans who are descendants of the Zarah branch of Judah. Zarah was the brother of Pharez, sons of Judah. These Israelites of the tribe of Judah left before the Exodus and became the Trojans and later the Romans. The 'churches' do not understand or teach this history.

Many Judaean Israelites were living in Rome, Egypt and other nations, and Paul was telling the Judaeans of the house of Judah that knew the Torah to not be jealous of the dispersed nations of the 10-tribed house of Israel who were scattered among all the nations and forgot the Torah and their identity and that they too are eligible for salvation, because they were Israelites too.

The scattered 'lost' Israelites should not be condemned because they had amnesia. They just forgot who they were and Whose they were because when God divorced the Israelites in 745 BC, He punished them at the hands of the Assyrians and Babylonians and as a result of captivity and later migration, the children of Israel forgot who they were.

Part of this punishment was that God would put a spirit of blindness on His people because they broke His covenant, they ignorged His warnings and rejected His laws, they served other gods, and they were race-mixing with the other nations.

Deut 28:28, 30:3; Isa 29:10; Jer 30:11, 31:10, 50:17; Eze 11:17, 28:25; Rom 11:25; Eph 2:12, 4:18; Col 1:21, just to list a few.

​​ 11:12 ​​ Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel); how much more their fulness (completeness)?

​​ 11:13 ​​ For I speak to you Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations of Israel), I magnify mine office:

​​ 11:14 ​​ If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

​​ 11:15 ​​ For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

Paul was telling them that the scattered Israelites that were lost and walking in darkness were reconciled by the blood of Christ and were also partakers of grace and salvation because they were children of the covenant too.

​​ 11:16 ​​ For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

All Israelites are part of the lump. All Israelites were holy, or set-apart, meaning called out, God's special, peculiar, chosen people. The Judaean Israelites were the firstfruits because they witnessed Yahshua Christ first hand. The 'lost' Israelites were also family members of the lump, so they too were also members of the set-apart holy seed. So if the root, being Jacob Israel, was chosen by God and set-apart as the Anointed seed, then all Jacob's children would be set-apart and Anointed as well. Israelites are the Anointed people.

​​ 11:17 ​​ And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed (G1461) in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

​​ 11:18 ​​ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

The broken off branches are those Israelites that were scattered and in their migrations forgot who they were and Whose they were. They forgot who their own kinsmen were. Hence, they became a wild olive tree.

​​ 11:19 ​​ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed (G1461) in.

This verse should be a question.

Those branches have been broken off, in order that I would be grafted in?

​​ 11:20 ​​ Well (Correct!); because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear (reverent):

​​ 11:21 ​​ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.

Paul was telling the Judaeans and the dispersed Israelites that they were of the same Olive tree, and not to boast because they (the Judaeans) had the law and remembered their identity and the scattered Israelites didn't. They were all of the same lump. They were family.

​​ 11:22 ​​ Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

​​ 11:23 ​​ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed (G1461) in: for God is able to graff them in again.

Notice the word 'again'. Only something that was broken off can be grafted back to it's original stock.

​​ 11:24 ​​ For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed (G1461) contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed (G1461) into their own olive tree?

Notice the phrase 'For if you were cut out of the olive tree...'.

The broken branches were cut out of the olive tree, meaning they were olive branches originally.

The olive tree is Jacob Israel. The children of Israel are olive branches. When Yahweh God divorced the Israelites and scattered them, the ones that forgot their history and heritage and identity became the wild branches. Jesus Yahshua Christ's death reconciled these wild broken off branches back into the olive tree. Back into the favor of the promises of the covenants made with the children of Israel.

God is not a mad scientist that hybridizes His creation, and He does not break His own laws of kind after kind. God would not graff the seed of the serpent with the seed of the woman into one tree. But the 'churches' teach this abomination.

Continuing with the 'church' teaching...


It is important to understand how God called Israel to be His people and how they failed to fulfill that calling. As the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel were chosen by God to be a separate people, holy to the Lord. God’s design was for them to be a light to the Gentiles so that they, too, might know God (Genesis 18:17–19; Isaiah 42, 49). Instead, the Israelites chased foreign gods and betrayed their calling (Ezekiel 23; Hosea 11). But God, who knew they would do this, had already promised to restore His kingdom to Israel after they rebelled and then eventually repented (Deuteronomy 30:1–10). So God sent His Son, preceded by a forerunner, to invite Israel to “repent, for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17).

 

OK, the problem is that all the verses listed in the above 'church' article are not referring to non-Israelite 'Gentile' nations. The context is the children of Israel. The nations spoken of are Israelite nations.

The nations in Genesis 18:17-19 are the nations that sprung from Abraham, and the nations of the land that shall be blessed in him are their Adamic kinsmen. The Adamic nations that sprung from the sons of Adam and later Noah. These would be nations such as the Assyrians, Persians, Syrians, Greeks and other nations descended from the sons of Adam and Noah. These are all white nations, as the Adamic race are white people, in case you didn't connect the dots yet.

The Adamic nations and Israelite nations are both descended from Adam. The Jews and other races are not descended from Adam.

Adam is not the father of all the races, as the 'churches' teach. Again, white people birth white people. The other races did not come from sons of Noah.

The nations spoken of in Isaiah chapters 42 and 49, Ezekiel 23 and Hosea 11 are the nations of the 12 tribes of Israel who were scattered by Yahweh God, a divorce, which began in 745 BC with the Assyrian invasion.

God promised He would reconcile the nations of the children of Israel unto Himself.

God divorced and cast off our Israelite ancestors. God never married, divorced, or cast off 'Gentiles'.


However, when Jesus revealed Himself as the promised Davidic King who would restore Israel (Matthew 11—12; Acts 3:19–22), He was rejected by the Jews, exactly as Isaiah had prophesied (Isaiah 52—53). Jesus therefore called His disciples to fulfill Abraham’s commission to bless the nations (Genesis 12:2–3) by preaching the gospel of the Kingdom to all nations until the end of this age (Matthew 28:18–20). Paul thus preached the gospel of the Kingdom to the Jews and was repeatedly rejected (Acts 13—28); in consequence, Paul brought the good news to the Gentiles, who in turn became Abraham’s spiritual seed by faith and heirs of the promises to Abraham and his seed (Galatians 3—4). This is what Paul meant in Romans 11 by the Gentiles being “grafted” into the “olive tree” and nourished by the “root” (the promises to Abraham). The tree thus signifies the collective people of God; the “wild branches” grafted in are Gentile believers; the “natural branches” that are cut off are the Jews in unbelief. Jewish believers remain in the tree but are joined with Gentiles and “made” into a “new body,” the Church (Ephesians 2:11–22).

 

What a mess.

Jesus was rejected by the Jews, but that's because the Jews are not of Him. The Jews are of their father the Devil, as Christ Himself stated. The Jews are not Israelites, they are not God's people. They are the Devil's people. On the other hand, the children of Israel did reject God and Jesus, exactly as prophesied in Isaiah. It also states that Christ His Servant shall reconcile His people.

The Jews, the 'churches' and the so-called 'Gentiles' were never married, divorced, scattered, or even given the law. Israelites were. So the 'churches' and so-called Gentiles are not the ones being reconciled, regathered, or freed from the penalty of breaking the law. The children of Israel were.

Abraham's seed are the ones who preach the gospel to the world and all nations. We white people are the ones who delivered the Gospel to the world. When have the Jews ever preached the gospel? They pervert and destroy it!

Paul did not bring the gospel to Jews either. He brought the gospel to the scattered Israelites who were 'lost' and walking in darkness among all the nations. Paul was not a universalist or preaching his own doctrine.

In Paul's Defense https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/in-pauls-defense/ ​​ 

 

Also, the 'churches' teach that when you accept Jesus you 'become Abraham's spiritual seed by faith' and then you can cash in on the promises and covenants which were made exclusively only to Israel. And this is what the 'churches' say is meant by the Gentiles being 'grafted into the olive tree and made into a new body called the 'church'.

Friends, God never made any covenant with anyone other than the children of Israel.

Covenants and Promises  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/covenants-and-promises-2/ ​​ 

 

Gentiles do not make up 'the church'. The 'church' is also an incorrect and deceptive word used to create new doctrines that expand the promises and covenants God made with the children of Jacob to everybody else who says “I believe”.

We will get to the true meanings of 'grafted in' and 'adopted' after we expose this article explaining their doctrinal beliefs.

 

Continuing with the 'church' article...


Paul anticipated a question that would surely arise among his Gentile readers: “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall?” (Romans 11:1)—Gentile believers would be tempted to dismiss Israel because it appeared they would never recover.

 

Paul was writing to the Romans. The Romans were descendants of Zarah Judah. They were Israelites that left Egypt before the Exodus and went on to settle Troy and Rome. If the 'churches' knew some real history and migration, they would know these things.

Paul was talking to the Israelites of the House of Judah in Rome about the 'lost' and scattered Israelites of the House of Israel that forgot the law and forgot who they were and Whose they were.


While the “natural branches” were cut off because Israel failed, God’s purposes are not complete until Israel is also grafted back into the people of God to share in the promises to Abraham and his seed. This brings full circle God’s larger redemptive plan (Romans 11:30–36) for both Jews and Gentiles as distinct populations within the people of God in the Davidic (or Millennial) Kingdom. Indeed, the prophets saw this Kingdom as the “final form” of the olive tree, so that Israel—reversing roles—would then bless the Gentiles, enabling them to join the people of God (see Zechariah 8:13, 20–23).

 

OK, so we are speaking of an Olive tree. We have natural branches and wild branches. So if God is adamant about 'kind after kind' and demands 'no race-mixing', and hybrids are an abomination to Him, then how does a multiculturally grafted tree make any sense?

If Jews are of the seed of the serpent, and Adamic Israelites are of the seed of the woman, how can these two seedlines join into one tree?

How can this make sense when Jesus said “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.”.

He is talking about genetics. Serpent seed cannot bring forth non-serpentine offspring.

 

The nations referred to in Zechariah are referring to the 10 'lost' and scattered tribes of the House of Israel.

Zechariah 8:23 ​​ Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Judaean, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.

This is a reference to the northern 10 tribes of Israel who did not return to Jerusalem, where a remnant of the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin did return. These Judaeans of the house of Judah got the first hand experience of walking with Christ. Hence the reference to “even take hold of the hem of a Judaean, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.” ​​ This happened when the apostles, mainly Paul, brought the gospel (family heritage) to the scattered 10 nations of Israel.

Note: The word skirt in verse 23 comes from kanaph, meaning edge, corner.

Deuteronomy 22:12 (Num 15:37-40, Matt 9:20-22, 14:34-36, 23:5, Mark 6:56, Luke 8:43-48) all speak of the fringes, border or corner of Israelite garments.

The fringes, tsiytsith, are to be as a reminder of the commandments.

The 10 lost tribes were going to take hold of the commandments through the gospel.

 

 

Regardless of what you were taught in your 'church' or by your 'preacher', the fact is that the Bible is not a Jewish book. The world has been deceived into believing this fable.

The Jews are not Israelites or Hebrews. The Jews are not of any tribe of Israel. The Jews are not God's people, and the only thing the Jews have coming is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Obadiah.

See: Obadiah  ​​ ​​ ​​ ​​​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/obadiah/

 

Have you ever seen those botanists that grow fruit trees and they graft other fruit trees into it? They can graft and have grafted many fruit trees with more than one variety. One tree has 40 different types of varieties! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik3l4U_17bI

It's amazing and beautiful, but....it's an ABOMINATION to Yahweh GOD! Unless He repealed His own law of 'kind after kind' and 'mixing and diversing livestock together' and 'mingling the sowing of seeds together'.

It goes for people too! Even a race-mixed person is not allowed into the congregation of Yahweh. (Deut 23:2)

 

 

OK, now that we cleared that up, let's proceed with the word 'adoption'.

 

The KJV inserted the English word 'adoption' in the place of the original Greek word uihothesia.

Uihothesia does not mean adoption.

The word means 'the placing of son'.

 

It has to do with our passing this life's test. As children of the Most High we are examples of our family. Our duty is to obey Yahweh and to love our brethren. The two Great Commandments that lead us to eternal life. If we can endure this mortal life, striving to walk in The Way, with true knowledge and understanding, we can hope for (expect) what Yahweh promised us. Christ showed us the model, and He was placed into position of son. All we have to do is imitate His example, and we will join Him.

​​ 

 

G5206 ​​ uihothesia  ​​​​ hwee-oth-es-ee'-ah

From a presumed compound of G5207 uihos – son, child, of kinship and a derivative of G5087 thithemi – to place ; the placing as a son, that is, adoption (figuratively Christian sonship in respect to God): - adoption (of children, of sons).

Also G5087 is compared with G2476 and G2749, each containing definitions of: abide, appoint, bring, continue, covenant, establish, hold up, lay, present, set (up), stanch, stand (by, forth, still, up).

A son or child of kinship. Placement of children. Appoint, covenant, establish, hold up, set up.

All of these definitions describe the Anointed seed of Isaac through Jacob.

 

The actual meaning of uihothesia is "placement," not redemption. ​​ It's literal meaning is "to become an heir," a status Israel lost because of disobedience. ​​ This meaning makes it clear that it is an exclusive reference to Israel only, for no other people were "lost" (put away in punishment). Christ's death reconciled both houses of Israel and Judah and the gospel is the message to these Israelites, then and today, near and far, and that we have a lot of learning, studying, practicing and work to do in order to be even eligible to reclaim our position of sons.

Houses of Israel and Judah  ​​ ​​ ​​​​ https://www.ageoflaodicea.com/houses-of-israel-and-judah-2/

 

 

The English word 'adoption' comes from the Latin word - adoptia - no relationship to the Greek word uihothesia, which never implies taking someone else's child and making it your own.

 

No one can choose to accept Jesus and get “adopted”. It is the Father that chooses us, and draws us near.

 

John 6:44 ​​ No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

​​ 6:65 ​​ And He said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father.

When someone who identifies as a transGentile says they 'believe' and that they are 'saved' and they 'accept' Christ, they think they are now Abraham's seed and adopted into the covenants and promises and receive their rapture ticket and are sealed for salvation.

It sounds great, and seems like that's all you have to do, especially because the KJperVersion English infallible word of God says so.

You don't become part of God's family by reciting a few magic quotes the 'churches' taught you to say aloud based on inaccurate translations and generalized words. Maybe you need to click your heels 3 times too, right?

No, the Father is the one who draws you, and He gives you understanding.

How many people who claim they are 'saved' have true understanding? None. There is no such thing as 'once saved always saved'.

 

 

Now let's go over all the verses with the word 'adoption' and 'grafted in' and rightly divide the Word of Truth.

 

Paul talks about the law. That we should seek to establish the law.

To mind things of the Spirit, righteousness, and the law.

Romans 8:1 ​​ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

​​ 8:2 ​​ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

1Corinthians 15:45 ​​ And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (Christ) was made a quickening spirit.

​​ 8:3 ​​ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

The original Greek is a little clearer:

3 The law is powerless, in that it has been weak over the flesh, Yahweh sending His own Son in the likeness of errant flesh, and amidst guilt, condemned guilt in the flesh,

Christ was Yahweh come as a man in Adamic flesh and blood, living in a sinful society, and Himself never sinning. His sacrifice was for our sins, and if He had sinned, He would not have been able to bear ours.

Sin comes from breaking a law. Gentiles were not given the law, Israelites were.

​​ 8:4 ​​ That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Part of the definition of righteousness is judgment. We will be judged if we don't follow His laws.

​​ 8:5 ​​ For they that are after (live according to) the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after (live according to) the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

John 3:6 ​​ That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Galatians 5:22 ​​ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

​​ 8:6 ​​ For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The Greek:

6 ​​ For the purpose of flesh is death; but the purpose of the spirit, life and peace.

​​ 8:7 ​​ Because the carnal mind is enmity (hostile) against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

7 ​​ Because the purpose of flesh is hostility to Yahweh, then to the law of Yahweh it is not obedient; neither is it able to be;

James 4:4 ​​ Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

​​ 8:8 ​​ So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

​​ 8:9 ​​ But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.

Galatians 4:6 ​​ And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Verse 9, where it says in the KJV But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.”, 'the' is not in the older manuscripts, it should read 'but in Spirit', and 'if so be that spirit of God is making it's home in you.'

Genesis 2:7 – Yahweh personally breathed the 'breath of life' (H5397) into Adam.

Only Adamkind has this Spirit. Yahweh never did so with any other peoples. This book is about the generations of Adam, as Genesis 5:1 states.

Spirit, quite simply can be described as DNA. A genetic make up, or code. Yahweh created each species “kind after kind”. When He breathed His Spirit into Adam, Adam now carried the specific DNA of the Spirit, which kind after kind, generation after generation, is handed down throughout his descendants. That is why Yahweh wants us to remain separate. Separate from what? Those not of our own race. Those who do not have the Spirit.

​​ 8:10 ​​ And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

​​ 8:11 ​​ But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.

These if's are part of the deal.

Deuteronomy 23:2 ​​ A bastard (child of race mixing) shall not enter into the congregation of Yahweh; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of Yahweh.

​​ 8:12 ​​ Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

​​ 8:13 ​​ For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Galatians 6:8 ​​ For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Ephesians 4:22 ​​ That ye put off concerning the former conversation (conduct) the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

​​ 8:14 ​​ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Of the family, of the DNA of Yahweh. The other races do not have the Spirit in their DNA, they can't receive the Spirit or understand things of the Spirit. The sons of God are born from above into Adamic flesh and blood bodies with the Spirit (DNA) of God.

​​ 8:15 ​​ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption (G5206- placement of sons), whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The KJV translators put the word 'adoption', where the Greek word uiothesia (G5206) is.

The word uiothesia is the placement of son. So what verse 15 is saying is that if you are an Israelite and you live according to what is in your DNA, then you will be led by the Spirit of Elohiym and will be placed into position of son in His kingdom.

It's not about saying “I believe, I accept Him, I'm saved”. That is not being led by the Spirit and it does not make you adopted by God. It's just a false 'churchy' feeling that makes you think you are adopted by God. How can you be adopted by God and sealed for salvation if you haven't finished or passed this mortal test called life yet?

You can fall from grace and be blotted out of the book of life, even if you've been adopted by Himey Jesus.

 

 

In the parable of the wheat and tares, Matt 13:24-30, 37-43 Christ does not insinuate that Yahweh will adopt the tares and make wheat out of them.

In the Prodigal Son, Luke 15:11-32 the boy does not change fathers, but returns to the same father he left. And the father did not adopt a wayward boy of the devil and make him his own.

 

We are children of Yahweh. If we seek righteousness and continue to walk in Christ's example, when we are tried through the fire, and our works remain, then we receive the 'placement of sons/daughters”, we inherit our place by His side in the Kingdom.

Romans 8:16 ​​ The Spirit (DNA) itself beareth witness with our spirit (DNA), that we are the children of God:

​​ 8:17 ​​ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.

​​ 8:18 ​​ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

2Corinthians 4:7 ​​ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels (Adamic bodies), that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

1Peter 1:6 ​​ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

​​ 8:19 ​​ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

2Peter 3:13 ​​ Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

​​ 8:20 ​​ For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope (expectation),

​​ 8:21 ​​ Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

​​ 8:22 ​​ For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

In verses 19-21 'creature' should be creation, just like in verse 22. It's the same word, and it's meaning is the creation or formation, or original, of the things God created. Those things He did not create (hybrids) will be destroyed.

Example: God created the horse and the donkey, but not the mule. God created our vegetables, but not the genetically modified ones (GMO). God created Adam, but not the mix of Adam and another race.

​​ 8:23 ​​ And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption (G5206- placement of sons), to wit, the redemption of our body.

Paul is saying that 'they', who are the dispersed tribes (10 northern), and 'ourselves' who are the Judaeans (2 southern tribes), wait for the placement or position of sons, the redemption of our body.

The verses containing 'adoption' so far have plainly stated who it pertains to. Israelites. Paul, an Israelite speaking to Israelites. Brethren is a racial term.

​​ 8:28 ​​ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.

​​ 8:29 ​​ For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

The purpose is to imitate His example. Imitate Christ and be received as heirs.

 

 

Romans 9:1 ​​ I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

While Christ is christos, and means anointed, as in the Anointed One of Israel, the KJV translators should have rendered this 'I speak the truth among the Anointed,' which is referring to the group, the called out, or anointed seed of Abraham. Israelites (of the 12 tribes). Paul in his letter to the Romans, is speaking to the Israelites, both of the circumcised (Judaeans) and the uncircumcised (Greeks, who are just some of the dispersed 10 tribes). He is the apostle to the Nations (of the 12 tribes of Jacob Israel). The other apostles mostly brought the gospel to the Judaeans, the Israelites in Judaea. Paul brought the gospel to the dispersed nations, the descendants of those who were not part of the Exodus and missed the experiences that the Israelite Judaeans went through. He is “graffing” the dispersed Israelite Nations back in.

​​ 9:2 ​​ That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

​​ 9:3 ​​ For I could wish that myself were accursed (banned) from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

Again Christ here should have been 'anointed'. Paul was banned from groups and assemblies of his Anointed brethren by the Edomite scribes and Pharisees, who wanted to keep their “traditions of men” (Mark 7:8, Col 2:8). Their version of the Law of Moses. The truth and the gospel was threatening their control and position of authority in Judaea.

​​ 9:3 ​​ ...my kinsmen according to the flesh: (DNA) ​​ (Deut 32:32)

​​ 9:4 ​​ Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption (G5206- placement of sons), and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

An important note, and proof of deliberate false teaching by today's “churches”: in verse 4 Paul is addressing Israelites. If the “adoption” is for “Gentiles”, why is he stating that the adoption pertains to Israel?

​​ 9:5 ​​ Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

The translators either deliberately or ignorantly botched this verse up.

Let's look at the original Greek:

5 whose are the fathers; and of whom are the Anointed (the group) in regards to the flesh, being over all blessed of Yahweh for the ages. Truly.

 

So Paul, speaking to Israelites, stating he is speaking to Israelites, stating that “Israelites; to whom pertaineth the 'adoption', and the glory, and the covenants, given the law, and the service of God, and the promises, whose are also the fathers, and of whom concerning the flesh,” ...sure does not sound like he's speaking to anyone else other than...Israelites.

This plainly shows that the 'churches' teach their own doctrine, that the 'churches' replace Israelites with 'Gentiles' and anyone else who 'just believes'. And the 'churches' base their doctrine of adoption around an English word that does not fit the Greek definition of uiothesia.

Uiothesia does not mean adoption.

Now let's examine the word 'graffed in'.

Used only 6 times

 

Graft. A small shoot or cion of a tree, inserted in another tree as the stock which is to support and nourish it. These unite and become one tree, but the graft determines the kind of fruit.

 

Webster's 1828 Dictionary

GR`AFT, v.t. To insert a cion or shoot, or a small cutting of it, into another tree.

This is a generalized definition. Nurseries have grafted cions into other trees, just as botanists have grafted several fruit trees onto another fruit tree.

This is not the kind of grafting that God accepts or does, as all the examples of mixing diverse kinds in scripture are abominations to Him.

 

The scriptural definition for the word graffed is:

Greek G1461

egkentrizō (eng-ken-trid'-zo)

Thayer Definition:

1) to cut into for the sake of inserting a scion

2) ingraft, graft in

Part of Speech: verb

 

Romans 11:16 ​​ For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

Jacob was holy, his seed was called out, holy (set apart). The branches here are the descendants of Judah namely Zarah. Zarah was the twin of Pharez through Tamar. Zarah's descendants left Egypt before the Exodus and settled Troy and later Rome. These are the wild olives whose branches were broken off.

The firstfruit, the lump, the root and the branches are all of one tree. An Olive Tree. The Olive tree represents the children of Israel.

​​ 11:17 ​​ And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree (of the same tree), wert graffed (G1461) in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

Jeremiah 11:16 ​​ Yahweh called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.

Acts 2:39 ​​ For the promise is unto you (Judaean Israelites- near), and to your children, and to all that are afar off (dispersed Israelites- far), even as many as the Prince our God shall call.

Ephesians 2:12 ​​ That at that time ye were without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

The captivities were because of disobedience, it was a divorce, Israel was cast off and as a result they forgot their heritage. But they were still Israelites. Christ reconciled the children of Israel, both near and far. This is why Yahshua Christ is our Kinsman Redeemer. Kinsman being the key word.

Paul is speaking to the Roman Israelites that they should not boast that they knew their heritage and the law and their relationship to God, when the scattered Israelites forgot their heritage, the law and their relationship to God.

​​ 11:18 ​​ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. ​​ 

​​ 11:19 ​​ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed (G1461) in.

Verse 19 should be a question.

​​ 11:20 ​​ Well (Correct!); because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

The Greek: 19 ​​ Now you will say, Those branches have been broken off, in order that I would be grafted in?

20 ​​ Correct, in disbelief they were broken off, and you in The Belief stand. Be not proud, but reverent.

​​ 11:21 ​​ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also spare not thee.

Paul was telling the Judaeans and the dispersed Nations that they were of the same tree, for the Judaean Israelites not to boast against the scattered 'lost' Israelites, because they had the law and the dispersed didn't. They were all of the same lump. They were all welcome to the Olive Garden where you are treated like family, because they were family. They just forgot.

​​ 11:22 ​​ Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in His goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

1Corinthians 15:2 ​​ By which also ye are saved (preserved), if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

John 15:2 ​​ Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth (cleanse) it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

​​ 11:23 ​​ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed (G1461) in: for God is able to graff them in again.

Notice the word 'again'. Only something that was broken off can be grafted back to it's original.

​​ 11:24 ​​ For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed (G1461) contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed (G1461) into their own olive tree?

​​ 11:25 ​​ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles (dispersed Nations) be come in. ​​ (2 Cor 3:14)

To know the mystery you have to know the history.

If you don't know the true identity of who the Israelites are and who the Jews are, and who Gentiles are, then you will not understand scripture.

 

The fulness of the 'dispersed Nations of Israel' be come in, is a reference to Christ, the Gospel, and the scattered Israelites returning to the truth, their heritage, and their God.

This has nothing to do with Gentiles and non-Israelites, or the 'church'.

The whole bible is about Israelites. The Gospel is to Israelites. The placement of sons and the grafting in is about Israelites.

 

Paul clearly states that the Romans are a branch that was broken off from the main tree. ​​ ("If some of the branches be broken off...") ​​ Only a branch of the same race can be grafted in. ​​ Verses 17-19 clearly talk about the branches that were broken off (in Egypt)(this would also be those Israelites that did not return to Judaea after the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities, and forgot who they were and their God.)

 

 

Galatians 4:4 ​​ But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

​​ 4:5 ​​ To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption (G5206- placement of sons) of sons.

Christ was born an Israelite. Only Israel was given the law (on Mt Sinai). Only Israel could be redeemed because only Israel was under the law. There were no other races or peoples included in the giving of the law, the Torah, the promises and covenants at Mt Sinai.

'Adoption' is a deliberate mistranslation. The Greek word 'uiothesia' means 'the placement of son'. It has nothing to do with adopting someone from another race and including them in the will.

The “churches” teach that God is a foster parent for anyone who “believes”. Why would you need to be “adopted” if you are already a child of God's? Oh yeah, because they teach that you are a non-Israelite gentile who by “just believing” you become the seed of Abraham and are by your own declaration “saved”. That's just CRAZY!!!

The bible is not a universal role playing game.

The scriptures teach that Israelites are children of Yahweh that when they come of age (mature Spiritually) they are placed into position of son, and are heir to the inheritance promised to Abraham's seed. A seed is not spiritual, it is genetic. Seed is sperma in the Greek, and is how you are engendered into the flesh and blood family of Adam.

​​ 4:6 ​​ And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Romans 5:5 ​​ And the expectation does not disgrace; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us.

​​ 4:7 ​​ Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

The phrase 'through Christ' is not in the original manuscripts. It should read, 'then an heir through Yahweh.'

With this addition of 'through christ', it supports the universal doctrine that anybody who “believes” can become a son through 'just believing'.

Another way to understand this, is that Christ is christos in the Greek, which means anointed. This could read 'and if a son, then heir through the Anointed.' Meaning an heir through the Anointed people. The Anointed people are Israelites. Sometimes the word 'christ' is a reference to the people, the kinsmen of Jesus Christ.

​​ 4:8 ​​ Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

The Greek: 8 But while at that time not knowing Yahweh, you had been enslaved to those who are not gods by nature; (rebellious pagans)

 

 

The confusion is because of the word 'Gentile'. Which is also an incorrect and deceptive word that does not belong in scripture. It does not mean non-Israelite.

When our ancestors, as well as us today, stray from Yahweh, we are preferring other gods, images, idols, lusts and desires instead of Him. This causes us to despise our birthright and inheritance. It causes us to be estranged from the Father. Why would we be placed into position of son/daughter if we are not educated with knowledge and understanding and also act ​​ AS ​​ a son/daughter of Yahweh?

The above verses show that any sort of “adoption” can only be received if you were born under the law, meaning born from of the sons of Jacob.

If you still have not connected the dots yet, then simply stated, if you are a white Anglo-Saxon, then you are a real flesh and blood Israelite with the DNA and Spirit of Yahweh. You are not an adopted Gentile saved by grace. You are an Israelite who can receive grace and your position of son as an heir in the Kingdom if you do that which is right in the sight of Yahweh, obey His commandments, learn who you really are and Whose you are, and continue in The Way.

 

 

Uiothesia - is when an adolescent becomes an adult, the coming of age, and grows into perfected adulthood.

Ephesians 1:5 ​​ Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children (G5206- placement of sons) by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

 

Let's observe Ephesians chapter 1 in full to understand just what is this word 'adoption'.

 

Ephesians 1:3 ​​ Blessed be the God and Father of our Prince Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us (of the 12 tribes) with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

The Greek: 3 Blessed be Yahweh, even the Father of our Prince, Yahshua Christ, who has blessed us among the Anointed (the group) with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places.

'Christ' does not always refer to the Prince. It quite often refers to the Anointed people, or group. Israelites.

​​ 1:4 ​​ According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (obeying the law- John 14:15):

'holy', the same word as 'saint'. We are to be righteous, blameless, set apart from unrighteousness.

The word 'should', implies that since we are of the chosen seed of Abraham, and therefore have a 'called out' purpose, the test is that we 'should' act accordingly. “Just believing” does not make one holy.

​​ 1:5 ​​ Having predestinated us unto the adoption (G5206- placement of sons) of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

As explained in Romans and Galatians (see in Scriptures menu), the word 'adoption', used only 5 times, is an incorrect translation. The Greek word 'uiothesia' means 'placement of son' or 'position of son'. Adopting someone who is not an Israelite into God's family is NOT what this word means.

As children of Israel mature into learned and obedient servants of “faith”, which really means loyal and in allegiance to the Kingdom, we are placed into the position of sons/daughters. Only those of this racial family seed, are eligible.

The “churches” teach that anybody can be “adopted” if they “believe”. If you have eyes to see, scripture will reveal otherwise.

John 1:11 ​​ He (Christ) came unto His own (Us), and His own (We) received Him not.

1:12 ​​ But as many (of Us) ​​ as received Him, to them (Us) gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

Verse 12 in the Greek: But as many who received Him, He gave to them the authority which the children of Yahweh are to attain, to those believing in His Name.

His name represents the seed of Abraham. Christ came only unto the lost sheep of the House of Israel. Jacob's 12 sons and their descendants. Abraham was not going to sacrifice Isaac for everybody in the world. He was offering him to Yahweh and because of it, Yahweh made promises and covenants with Abraham's seed, posterity, race. Christ, who is of this race, died for this race. We are to be the light of the Adamic nations and set the example that Christ showed us.

​​ 1:6 ​​ To the praise of the glory (honor) of His grace (favor), wherein He hath made us accepted in (among) the beloved.

​​ 1:7 ​​ In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (falling away), according to the riches of His grace (favor);

​​ 1:8 ​​ Wherein He hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence (understanding);

​​ 1:9 ​​ Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in (within) Himself:

Romans 16:25 ​​ Now to Him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,

2Timothy 1:9 ​​ Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace (favor), which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

​​ 1:10 ​​ That in the dispensation (stewardship) of the fulness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him:

As the seed of Abraham, Christ was the only perfect man, He set the example. We are of this same seed ('called') and therefore stewards of His purpose. To strive to be like Christ.

If your stewardship is supporting the “church's” idea of a Jewish Jesus, you might not be gathered with the stewards that understand our true Prince.

Colossians 1:20 ​​ And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things (2 houses, Judah-circumcised and Israel-uncircumcised) unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

​​ 1:11 ​​ In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will:

Only Abraham's seed was preordained for Yahweh's purpose.

​​ 1:12 ​​ That we should be to the praise of His glory (honor), who first trusted in Christ.

Those who were aware and had a part in it, meaning walking with Christ. The apostles.

The Greek reveals more:

12 For which we are to be in praise of His honor, who before had expectation in the Christ,

​​ 1:13 ​​ In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed (understood), ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

John 1:17 ​​ For the law was given through Moses, but favor and truth came through Jesus Christ.

2Corinthians 1:22 ​​ Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

​​ 1:14 ​​ Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory. ​​ 

In verse 13, 'trusted'- is in italic text, which means it was added

In verse 14, earnest- Down payment of the Spirit (2 Cor 5:5, Rom 8:23)

The purchased possession is the seed of Abraham. Not anybody and everybody.

The Greek:

12 For which we are to be in praise of His honor, who before had expectation in the Christ,

13 ​​ in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth – the good message of deliverance – in which also having believed, you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

14 ​​ which is a deposit of our inheritance, in regard to redemption of the possession, in praise of His honor.

The “churches” say 'everyone' is redeemed. But the scriptures say only Israelites.

Isaiah 43:1 ​​ But now thus saith Yahweh that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.

​​ 1:15 ​​ Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Prince Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

Only Israelites are saints, set apart, called out, chosen, holy.

​​ 1:16 ​​ Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

​​ 1:17 ​​ That the God of our Prince Jesus Christ, the Father of glory (honor), may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:

Greek reads: 'in His knowledge'

It's more than, “just believing” in or of or on Him.

​​ 1:18 ​​ The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope (expectation) of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory (honor) of His inheritance in the saints (seed of the called),

​​ 1:19 ​​ And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who are believing, according to the working of His mighty power,

​​ 1:20 ​​ Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places,

Acts 2:24 ​​ Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it.

​​ 1:21 ​​ Far above all principality (realm), and power, and might (authority), and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world (age), but also in that which is to come:

Philippians 2:9-10

2:9 ​​ Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:

2:10 ​​ That at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

​​ 1:22 ​​ And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church (assembly, congregation, group of the Anointed),

​​ 1:23 ​​ Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all.

23 ​​ Which is His body, 'the fulfillment of that which all things in all are being fulfilled.'

 

 

 

Hebrews 2:10 ​​ For it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory (honor), to make the captain (Originator) of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Acts 5:31 ​​ Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. (Luke 24:46, Rom 11:36)

To the world, or to all men? No, it says 'Israel'. Christ came only unto the lost sheep of Israel.

​​ 2:11 ​​ For both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of (sprung from) one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Christ is our brother. We are related.

Christ came in the flesh and blood of Adam, through the seed of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and in the lineage of Jacob's son Judah. Literal brethren, kin.

​​ 2:12 ​​ Saying, I will declare Your name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church (assembly) will I sing praise unto You. ​​ (Psa 22:22)

​​ 2:13 ​​ And again, I will put my trust in Him. (Isa 8:17) And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given Me (Isa 8:18). ​​ 

Isaiah 8:17 ​​ And I will wait upon Yahweh, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him.

Isaiah 8:18 ​​ Behold, I and the children whom Yahweh hath given Me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yahweh of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion (the people).

Psalm 18:2 ​​ The Prince is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Deuteronomy 14:1 ​​ Ye are the children of ​​ Yahweh your God: you shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

​​ 2:14 ​​ Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil (False Accuser); ​​ (1 Cor 15:54)

​​ 2:15 ​​ And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Luke 1:74 ​​ That He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear,

2Timothy 1:7 ​​ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (discretion).

Fear causes bondage. If we love Yahweh and keep His commands, we have nothing to fear.

​​ 2:16 ​​ For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham.

The offspring of Abraham. Fleshly posterity.

The “churches” teach that you can become “spiritual Israel”. This is a lie.

Do the demons who 'believe' become spiritual Israel too?

The word 'seed' in Greek is 'sperma'. Sperm cannot be “spiritual”. Sperm produces “kind after kind”.

​​ 2:17 ​​ Wherefore in all things it behoved (obliged) Him to be made like unto His brethren, that He might be a merciful (compassionate) and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation (propitiation) for the sins (failures) of the people.

Hebrews 4:15 ​​ For we have not an high priest having no ability to sympathize with our weakness, but who being tested by all things in like manner, is without failure.

​​ 2:18 ​​ For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour (help) them that are tempted.

Our Prince came and showed us how it's done. Perfectly. He is the model. We are to imitate His example. This is the path to being placed into 'position of sons' (wrongly 'adopted').
