uh....why do the natural branches have to be grafted (back) into their own tree (if they continue not in unbelief) if they are supposedly witnesses just as they are?
and: "For if thou (the Gentile church) wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature..."
why add Gentile Church? it doesn't say Gentile Church. it's referring to individual gentiles grafted from the wild (unbelieving gentile) tree...INTO the natural tree...which ONLY has believing branches on it believing jews and believing gentiles.
there's only ONE TREE.
all believers.
the natural unbelievers were/are cut off. the wild unbelievers are never grafted over.
one tree ellis, not 2.
