Romans 9 debunks the idea covenant is made according to ethnicity
Romans 9:6–13 (KJV 1900) — 6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. 10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Before the Abrahamic Covenant there were only Adamites. No Gentiles. No Hebrew. No Chinese or Russian or Mexican. ADAMITES.
After Noah and his three sons God commanded the people again to scatter and fill the earth. They stayed together in disobedience to God. However, the descendants of Shem and a man named Salah chose to separate from the others and obey God and crossed over the Jordan and did separate himself and his family. To honor this act of obedience he named his son Eber which means "crossing over." This, incidentally, is a Hebrew word that means the same and is related to the word Hebrew. This is what God called Abram in Genesis 14:13 - Abram the Hebrew. So, here is a people separated by God and is doing what God instructed.
Now you have two groups of people: those led by Nimrod and those separated to God the Hebrews if you follow Salah's family line in Genesis 11. Then Abram was born and God made a covenant with him and his descendants who be known as Hebrews and later through Judah in general the "Jews." This covenant was given the sign of circumcision which dropped a hard line between those "nations" not Hebrew and circumcised and a people known as Gentiles. There've been only two races on the planet: Hebrews and Gentiles.
Your quote Romans 9:6-13 describes two people from the seed of Abraham: Jacob and Esau.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither,
because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God:
...meaning Esau...
but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 As it is written,
Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
So, to show non-ethnicity using Romans doesn't apply.
But the circumcision in Abraham and his seed DOES. God made no covenant with Adamites nor with Gentiles.
Another thing, God Himself was the one to make any covenants He desired, and He CHOSE Abram the Hebrew (obedient family) as recipient to that covenant and God Himself made covenant with the children of Israel (Jacob), and the New Covenant with the House of Israel. God Himself did this directly.
Saul was sent with a message. He was not authorized to create any kind of covenant and include Gentiles as you suppose. He is not authorized nor does he have the power to effect it as God does providentially. Besides this, Saul was a rabbi, a Pharisee of Pharisees and a man above his equals. He knew the OT Scripture. He is not stupid to say anything that contravenes the existing covenants God has with the Hebrews. So, every and all interpretations that would include Gentiles in any of the Hebrew Covenants is a lie. As a matter of fact, I find Saul contradicting himself at least three times I've found in his letters and historically, the people that collected scrolls and made a canon were Gentiles in the fourth century and I think it self-serving they included letters that seem to imply Gentiles in any of the HEBREW covenants are themselves a lie. The Jews were the possessors of the oracles of God and quite impossible to change those writings to say Gentiles are included.
So, unless you can show me in the Hebrew writings of Law, Psalms, and Prophets Gentiles clearly included in any of the God-Hebrew covenants - which there is none - then you may have an argument and I will champion such cause.
Otherwise, you have nothing, and Gentiles have nothing. By the way here is God's attitude and Word concerning Gentiles (non-Hebrews)
17 All nations before him are as nothing;
And they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Isaiah 40:17.
The Word of God.
Study it.
