A Jewish Paul Quotes

“They have undergone divine, pneumatic gene therapy to address the fact that they were previously unrelated to Abraham. Pneumatic therapy is a much more advanced technology for addressing the genealogical gap between Abraham and the gentiles than cosmetic surgery ever could be. Through the pneuma and in the Messiah, gentiles have become Abraham’s sons and seed.”

It’s into this Jewish understanding of the gentile problem that Paul interjects his message about Jesus the Messiah.”
