I thought pejorative labels were ok, as you continue to insist that I believe RT theology, even though I stated multiple times I don't believe the church replaced Israel.
Have I not acknowledged multiple times that Paul is biologically from the kingdom of Judah?
Bingo
It substantiates that race no longer matters for children of God through Christ under the new covenant.
Yup, that's the argument I have been making the whole time. Jews, Gentiles, Ephraimites, etc..... are all spiritual children of the desolate woman through Jesus Christ under the new covenant.
Did we ever disagree that the desolate woman was ephraim?
Those of Israel who rejected Christ were broken off.
Romans 11:20 That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith.
The gentiles were grafted in, replacing, the unfaithul natural branches that were broken off.
Romans 11:17 Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
The church did not "replace" Israel. Gentiles were grafted in to faithful Israel to become fellow heirs through Christ. Anyone who teaches the church "replaced" Israel teaches a false doctrine.
how so? Do you believe the New covenant superseded the old covenant?
How do I promote supersessionism if Jesus was always the heir to the promises of Abraham, AS PAUL TEACHES. How can Jesus supersede himself?
I believe Jesus was always the intended heir to the unconditional promises of Abraham. I believe Israel was given conditional promises through the old covenant, Israel failed because of sin and disobedience to maintain their end of the covenant. Thus God did away with the old covenant, because he found fault in his people. God then enacted the new covenant through his son, to whom all the promises of Abraham were intended. Jesus fulfilled the law, so that all those in him are no longer bound to it. The new covenant is built upon better promises. The new covenant superseded the old covenant.
Do you believe the old covenant still exists along side the new covenant?
This doesn't answer my question. When did Ephraim become desolate? Was it during the time of Isaiah when Assyria sent them into exile or was it still future to the time of Isaiah?
How does this surmount my argument that it is Jesus who inherits the nations?
Psalm 2:7-8 will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.
b Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
Psalm 82:8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
