Anyway, it takes more than being grafted into Abraham. Arabs are descended directly from Abraham, and it doesn't make them Jewish.


Point taken. I was not, for a minute, insinuating that I knew what it was to be Jewish but Scriptures tell me that I have been adopted. Ishmael and his descendents are not excluded from becoming a Christian nor was I, a Gentile. You carried the statement to a level that I'm not prepared to follow simply because I don't have the knowledge to even discuss those aspects.
You say that it takes 'more' than being grafted into Abraham and I have to ask, to do/be what? Being grafted into Abraham came as a result of my becoming a Christian. When I took Jesus up on His offer of salvation I had no idea of what lay in store but I didn't care. I needed Him. Abraham, or being adopted, never entered my mind. Those are things I learned later.

I will admit that I've grown weary of organized 'religion' and hope your worship services offer you more. Blessings.
