You know Beads I am getting a bit tired with your attempt to avoid the obvious....
I know better than to go down the road of debating with you whether or not I'm trying to skirt the issue that this thread is dealing with. I value my posting priveges too much.
We'll just have to leave the "all Jews living at the second coming are saved" debate for another time.
Now, can we get back to the subject of this thread or is your attempt to take it off track an admission of defeat?
Yes, we can get back on track. And you can start by addressing the rest of my previous post:

Are you kidding me?
Your whole argument in this thread has been "When Paul says that people who have been grafted into the natural olive can also be cut off, what he means is that people who have once been saved can lose their salvation." How is that not an interpretation? Because it certainly is not a quote.....

No. Salvation is not a blessing or a promise that is given to an heir of Abraham. Salvation is the root cause of becoming an heir of Abraham.
