You want us to *not *parse words??

Do you even know what the word "parse" means? It means to grammatically analyze a word, phrase or sentence, or to examine texts to uncover their implications or deeper meanings.

It would do the Free Republic forums a great deal of good if we all did a good deal more parsing. Parsing before posting would sure improve the overall comprehension levels. Now: I find it quite interesting that you did not post the preceding sentence (vv 25-26)in your Romans’ quote:

"I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not become wise in your own estimation: a hardening has come upon Israel in part, until the full number of the Gentiles comes in, and thus all Israel will be saved..."

Good night and God bless you.

You don’t even seem to understand what you post.

It’s only the Jews, as whole and living in the end times, who be will be saved when the full numbers of Gentiles comes in.

However, that should not preclude the Church from doing Her best for those Jews living today to call for their conversion. That would be a lack of “charity”, a term Francis is fond of abusing.
