FGC,
You wanted to know the honest truth about "the house of Israel", not the DISHONEST REINTERPRETATIONS of men. Now you have taken Roman 10:1 and turned it on its head in order to fit your theology, rather than making your theology conform to the Word of God.
Who is Paul talking about in Romans 10:1?
The Jews who rejected Christ. "That they might be saved" means exactly what it says. That the might be saved from Hell, from damnation, from eternal separation from God. NOT "saved here in the world" (which means absolutely nothing).
How do we know that these are the unsaved Jews who were attempting to establish their own righteousness through the deeds of the Law?
1. ...they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge....
2. ...[they are] going about to establish their own righteousness...
3. ...they being ignorant of God's righteousness...
4. [they] have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God...
And because this did not fit your theology you called them *spiritual Israel* when they are the EXACT OPPOSITE.
So now you have to sit down with yourself and make a MAJOR DECISION. Will you believe God regardless of all your indoctrination, and throw away all that theological baggage, or will you wilfully reject what Scripture says and go on promoting false doctrines?
