“Whosoever (Jew or Gentile) believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.”
Jeremiah, both of these scriptures and hundreds more, said that you are in serious error.
Abraham is the father of many nations of people, not just Jews.
A few years back when I had my own business, (irrigation and landscaping) I was doing a job for a gentleman named Dr. Schwartz a foot doctor. As I was working installing the irrigation system, I said to one of my foreman's ......."I wish I had not let Dr. Schwartz jew me down'...., without even thinking. His wife was somewhere close enough to hear me, even though I did not see her, and she told her husband what I said. When I was there collecting and showing Mr. Schwartz how to use his system, he mentioned this to me and said he did not appreciate me saying that since his people had suffered so much at the hands of Adolf Hilter, etc. I apologize to him and reminded him that I would never offend the Jewish people, since Abraham was my spiritual father, making me more a son of Abraham than any natural Jew was. He was taken back with that and just left the subject alone.
As side note, my foreman whose name was John said to me: " I do not know why he got so upset, when I never get upset when someone said to me........... I got to use the john"! I think John had a good point.
So, your hope of eternal life is that you have Jewish blood in your veins. Jeremiah if that's what you are trusting in then your faith is worthless, and not according to the scriptures. This should concern you, but obviously it does not. Let's say, you do not, then what?Knowing these two things and realizing back in 1977 I became born-again the only conclusion I can reach is that there is at least ONE Hebrew parent in my ancestry. Given that my mother's maiden name originated centuries ago in Spain in a Jewish grotto, does cause me to wonder. But the above is true. The only way for me - a presumed Gentile - to have the Holy Spirit of Promise in my born-again life is that there MUST be a Hebrew parent in my family line.

“Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”Jeremiah, both of these scriptures and hundreds more, said that you are in serious error.
