Exactly, no partiality.
Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
The have to believe the Gospel like everyone else.
10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?
Grace.
Rom 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
My Horticulture professors would disagree with you.No there is no such thing as a tree with no branches. Such a thing is called a root stock and not a tree.
I should have stayed awake in horticulture classMy Horticulture professors would disagree with you.
A root stock is a section of root from a specific, desirable tree onto which is grafted a scion from another specific, desirable tree in order to gain known benefits in root function and control function from the rootstock and fruiting and structural functions from the scion.
A branchless tree may be called a stump or a trunk, but it is still the stump or trunk of a tree, not of an elephant or a human body.
If the branches are cut off it is
Ezekiel 31:9 `I made it beautiful with the multitude of its branches,
And all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God, were jealous of it.
John 15:5 `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in Me, and I in Him,
this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from Me ye are not able to do anything;
Speaking of boasting we find the following passage:
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
We are His workmanship and not ours. And it is a gift, not a reward for activity (work).
Those branches are not broken off of the same tree. They are broken of Israel and graft into Jesus when they accept Jesus as Messiah (Saviour/Redeemer).
Then is shouldn't be a problem for you to produce a picture of root stock or the grafting into a mature tree that already has branches.Yes, I have a BS in Horticulture. That's why I'm a nurse.
This argument has been canceled in observance of the law of diminishing returns.Then is shouldn't be a problem for you to produce a picture of root stock or the grafting into a mature tree that already has branches.
A root stock is usually a small diameter live stump with root develobment into which a scion is placed.
If a scion is placed on a mature tree it is done on a cut branch and not the tree trunk.
The truth is out there.Ah I though it was great entertainment. Why not humor us with a picture as requested? I would like to see what is being talked about. Words do not seem to present the point very well.
That's right.My best guess is what has been presented is not quote right from a horticultural view.

Romans 11
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. 22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
(NKJV)
Emphasis mine.
