I wish people would stop trying to make sense of the stone-age low-tech religions like they have some sort of secret meanings meant for today’s world. The only real thing that Jesus tried to convey was “Love your neighbor”

with the issue of salvation, romans chapter 9:14-onwards doesn’t have anything to do with it. if you will take a look at the word used…it’s “MERCY” not “GRACE”. there’s a big difference between mercy and grace. GRACE is a gift from GOD(eph2:8-9) with leadeth to salvation. while mercy in this chapter is having GOD’s favor and loving kindness.

You know what… I have stacks of notes I’ve amassed on this subject (I once considered a book on the subject of “who is Israel”). But ultimately, our standing before God will not be affected (or, effected either…) by our stance on this.
Frankly, I’ve begun to side with a Catholic priest who once remarked to me, “I wish Christians would simply read and abide by the Sermon on the Mount”. At the time, when I was a ‘thumper’ with all the answers, I thought, “Sure, of course you would. You folks chained the Bible to the pulpit for centuries.”
Now, I believe him. Splitting hairs over doctrine is a waste of time.
It’s a red herring.

nice post although I was a little disappointed that you did not come down on one side or the other. If you would commit it would possibly make for good conversation.
Which is the more difficult to accept; that the only good you can possibly do comes from God, or continually wondering if you did enough good today to keep your salvation or did you do enough bad to lose it?
