As you probably know, some folks think Paul was not technically "a Jew" because he was not from the tribe of Judah (he was a Hebrew from the tribe of Benjamin and studied under Gamaliel).
I am glad to correct that because it is important! I agree with you. Esp now, with the current events and the whole, Conversion on the road to Damascus, story.
That is good stuff and timely!
The story of adoption and Jewish adoption laws is a fascinating topic, in and of itself, right?
Who has the right to claim they are a Jew, and a Son of God, or a Son of David. (And does it really matter to our salvation?)Can we hold on to religious traditions, familial traditions and still hear God? Do we follow the laws of Moses, or the assume we are not under the law- as some read in new Testament?
Who does God love and favor?
Big things to think about. :)
