Your error is that you take "Gentiles" in the NT to mean "non-Hebrew Gentiles" and it does not refer to Gentiles. It refers to mixed-race Jews WHO GREW UP GENTILE. The Israelites did not accept Samaritans as true Jew but as something less. That's why they didn't have anything to do with Samaritans nor with Gentiles.So, once again you are indicating no one outside of being a Hebraic Jew will be saved.
Do not backpedal on this... your words are "Gentiles are OUTSIDE the grace of God."
Eph 2: 8-9 says
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
search assist says " one cannot be saved without God's grace, as salvation is understood to be a gift from God that cannot be earned through human efforts or works. It is through God's grace that individuals receive forgiveness and eternal life."
you say that only applies to the Hebraic Jews....
Alrighty then.... By your words you are in agreement with the predestined people on here BUT you apply that to only the Hebraic Jew.
KINDLY EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURE....
From Romans 11:11-31
11:11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.
Answer this please..... Why if grace is only for the Hebraic Jews.... I'll even include other Jews in this.... but Paul, who was Saul says salvation has come to the Gentiles.
God , of course cannot lie.... but Paul who was Saul could....
Did Saul lie?
If not, please explain that verse from Pail who was "Saul".... the one YOU follow so closely?
When you identify "Gentiles" as non-Hebrew Gentiles then you are teaching Jesus lied and that He came to destroy the Law of Moses NOT FULFILL IT. Any change in the Law of Moses would destroy the Law of Moses. Not even God can change the Law of Moses. For any change would destroy the Law of Moses.
In order to claim non-Hebrew Gentiles are being referred to in the NT when it says "Gentiles" is to prove Gentiles were under the Law and atoned by the animal sacrifices throughout the centuries and every year on Yom Kippur. You would have to prove that Egyptians were also atoned the night the first Passover was observed and there is no Scripture that includes Egyptians let alone any Gentiles. Jesus didn't come to add Gentiles to the Law and then to sacrifice Himself for them and Israel. Jesus said He came to fulfill the Law and this means He, like the animal that was sacrificed yearly for the sins of Israel, He would substitute Himself for the animal sacrifice under the Law and die to atone the sins of the children of Israel. If Gentiles were not atoned along with Israel under the Law, then Jesus didn't add Gentiles nor did He die for Gentiles.
So, unless you can post a Scripture under the Law where God says non-Hebrews are also added to the Law for their atonement then Gentiles are outside the grace of God. God doesn't add to the Bible so why do you do it? Adding to the Bible - or the Law - destroys the Law. But it is impossible to add to the Bible. God doesn't do it, Christ doesn't do it, the Spirit doesn't do it. Only humans think they can do it.
They are wrong.
