@St. SteVen this subject is far more nuanced them first appears.
Have you ever studied Romans 10?
10 St. SteVen, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are
zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own,
they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
Paul's prayerful intent will not change the reality! Many will not submit to God's Righteousness and keep in mind we here are talking about those who have the Oracles of God! What of the many who will never open a Bible once in their lives?
The the Judaiser to whom this is written can you see what a stunning blow verse 5 is to them?
Moses sides with Paul on faith.
