My example is dreadfully simplistic. But it serves the discussion.

I don't know what you're talking about. Any way, can you show me where 'replacement' occurs below:

You missed one: "Jewy enough" to tell them they are still God's people without Christ. All of these are examples of "wisdom from below".

Grafted into what? What does the tree represent?

But, in Christ you are not a Gentile yet you say you are. So which is it?

The scripture reads "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if...

That's the natural progression of 'wisdom from below' when the flesh is elevated over the eternal: men kill other men. It also explains how so many can be callous about the 60,000+ Arabs who have died (only recently) at the hands of Israel. Gods (small 'g') of war demand worship by bloodshed...

I recall a certain German leader making a similar claim, an Italian guy and Venezuelan guy, too. A few in Africa, and even some Canadian priests. Such claims led to the death of 100s of thousands. Many native people died because people in the U.S. believed such things. In fact, people continue...

So common the Jews wanted to stone Jesus after He said it. :unsure: “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him…”

”For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Being eternal is part of the fullness of the Godhead.

Yes, through Paul. If you don’t believe that I can’t help you.

Did He not speak through Paul?

In Christ, you are. Galatians 3:26-29 26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in...

“And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
