I disagree. We have ample examples of grafting in from the beginning.
Exodus 12:49 "The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you."
Leviticus 24:22 'There shall be one standard for you; it shall be for the stranger as well as the native, for I am the LORD your God.'"
Numbers 15:15
As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the alien be before the LORD.
The alien (Goyim) could choose to walk upright before Adonai and be obedient to the Father and he was to have the same Torah as the native born Jew. The Goyim did not cease being a gentile but was indeed grafted in... He could choose to become a Jew at some point by becoming circumcised if he was a male... but many did not. David killed such a gentile to steal his wife Bathsheba a sin for which David was harshly judged by G-d.
You and I have very different views on this topic. Messianic Judaism predates your Eastern Orthodoxy. The church in Asia Minor was Messianic who attended synagogue that comprised both gentile converts to Messiah and Jews (SOME OF WHOM) believers.
Acts makes that unmistakably clear. I know its popular to push Jews and Judaism completely out of the picture but that simply does not at all square with the early church history according to scripture. Acts 6:7 7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
So not only were people in Jerusalem along with gentiles coming to faith a "LARGE NUMBER OF PRIESTS" came to faith... this had RADICAL influence and impact on Judaism during the apostolic age.
