There is now one Body -- all redeemed Jews and Gentiles -- and there is no distinction whatsoever. All are now considered "the children of Abraham" through faith. Those who maintain or create distinctions are in violation of Scripture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a man’s praise does not come from men, but from God. Romans 2:29 I never heard of anyone becoming a Jew after so many generations,I am assuming you are taking about converts in the OT?The only one i could think of was Ruth,who was first a Moabite,disgusted by her people & the worship of their gods,,,,,,,???

But if they married a Jew their children were considered Jewish, like Mark. Correct me if I am wrong, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
