[QUOTE="seekerofHolyGod, post: 2427624, member: 830432"] he didn't exclude 2 nations from the covenant of christ he was making a point the descendants of israel were chosen by god it went through issac son of abraham instead of ishmael it went through issac instead of esau paul's point was summarized in verse 16 KJV: Romans 9:16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. to come to christ it is not the man who wills nor the man that runs after it but god that shews mercy KJV: Ephesians Chapter 2 [8] For by grace (god's mercy) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. no man can obtain it by his own efforts or choices [/QUOTE]
