I will explain the fist part now, and the second later in a different email after work. "They" (Jews) are not to join "us" (Christian) in Him." The "Us" (Christian) are to join the "They" (Jews) "in Him." Read Romans 11 again. Which was does the sap travel???   jt: The point I was making was not who was first Slade, it was that Christ has broken down the wall of partition and made every nation of "one blood" - If you are so proud of your Jewishness that you want to keep making that a distinction, then this is your sin.  In Romans 11 Israel is the natural branch which has been cut off because of unbelief so if we were depending on Israel for sap we would be in sad shape. But Israel is not the root - Jesus is the root and He is no longer exclusive.  We don't bear the root, He bears us - that is, ALL of us and He is no respecter of any man's person.  judyt   Secondly, your concept of "after the Spirit" is very different from mine, and I will et to that later.   -- slade
