Yes thank you Hugo. However. You highlight the scapegoat. How do you expect the people to think and behave if 1000s of illegal immigrants are being deliberately let into the country amd being paid for etc etc..committing crimes rapes etc etc? We turn the other cheek? Come on! Nonsense
God knows exactly how some will react. That is the point.
Its one of many tests, which you are completely unaware you are failing.
That is how the lost are marked out. This is what is mean’t by God when he says “God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts”.
Your response is exactly what Satan and the false prophet media want.
And that is what will happen.
This is why you have The phrase “separating the wheat from the chaff” a phrase from scripture that refers to judgment and distinguishing between what is valuable and what is worthless. It is a metaphor for separating the righteous from the wicked, or believers from non-believers.
It also shows who is following the word of God and who is following the trash they are fed from the false prophet media.
I think it is safe to assume which one of those you are most influenced by.
We also have to remember any animosity being propagated in the alt media saying ‘Jews’ are evil makes it harder for those lost people in the country of Israel get out of their delusion “keep away from them they hate us”. Then the main stream media making excuses for the obviously evil actions of some of those people claiming to be ‘Jews’ only infuriates those people who believe the narrative “keep away from the ‘Jews’ they control the media. It is a very clever process to rob two sides of their chance of salvation, divide and conquer both sides willing in their hatred.
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
~ “first of all, it appeared an unworthy thing that in the celebration of this most holy feast we should follow the practice of the Jews, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are, therefore, deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul. For we have it in our power, if we abandon their custom, to prolong the due observance of this ordinance to future ages, by a truer order, which we have preserved from the very day of the passion until the present time. Let us then have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd; for we have received from our Saviour a different way. A course at once legitimate and honorable lies open to our most holy religion. Beloved brethren, let us with one consent adopt this course, and withdraw ourselves from all participation in their baseness”
Constantine.
Your Old Testament quotes can be dealt with, with a simple answer.
At that time GOD only had a small group of chosen people, If they died there would have been no righteous man or woman left to save. Once they were found wanting and the Gentiles/Heathens/Pagans started coming to GOD through faith alone (without a Covenant) GOD turned his face to those righteous people. The ‘Jews’ were falling so fast GOD knew there would not have been enough righteous people left to make a church.
Paul is asking rhetorical questions ‘as a man on the street’ on behalf of those people stuck in the mistaken belief they are still ‘set apart’ that they are still ‘special’. Imagine suddenly being told you have to start again from scratch, it is a difficult, even an impossible step for some.
Paul’s rhetorical questions
Is GOD wrong to tell you the rules? If you have been chosen for a long time can you just do whatever you will? If you are sinning but still following The Old Covenant why can’t you sin freely? If GOD gives you a free hand how can he then judge those coming to him in righteous faith by different rules? Does GOD have to be righteous in his judgements?
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Roman 3, 5-10
~
21 But now God’s righteousness has been revealed apart from the Law, which is confirmed by the Law and the Prophets.
22 God’s righteousness comes through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who have faith in him. There’s no distinction.
23 All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory,
24 but all are treated as righteous freely by his grace because of a ransom that was paid by Christ Jesus.
25 Through his faithfulness, God displayed Jesus as the place of sacrifice where mercy is found by means of his blood. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness in passing over sins that happened before,
26 during the time of God’s patient tolerance. He also did this to demonstrate that he is righteous in the present time, and to treat the one who has faith in Jesus as righteous.
27 What happens to our bragging? It’s thrown out. With which law? With what we have accomplished under the Law? 28 No, not at all, but through the law of faith. We consider that a person is treated as righteous by faith, apart from what is accomplished under the Law.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t God the God of Gentiles also? Yes, God is also the God of Gentiles.
30 Since God is one, then the one who makes the circumcised righteous by faith will also make the one who isn’t circumcised righteous through faith.
31 Do we then cancel the Law through this faith? Absolutely not! Instead, we confirm the Law.
Romans 3, 21-31
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans 11. 5-14
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 9, 30-33
Do not get left behind in the mistaken belief you are too important to be forgotten.
What about Ezekiel 36? God talks to Ezekiel about Israel, and it is clear that he means both the land and the people. The whole chapter is about God restoring his chosen people to their land – not for the people’s sake, but because he is faithful to his promises.
Right? Are you saying Locce that all His promises to the children of Israel in the Old Testament are null & void? There are some unfulfilled promises.
I do agree that we (believers) are a spiritual Israel. But I believe there are Messianic Jews and that land of Israel (& city of Jerusalem) still have significance in the end times.
First I will say God alone will judge, I am not here to say who will and who will not be saved.
The test of true faith for the physical Jews was to throw away the security blanket of the physical circumcision and turn to the faith of spiritual salvation ONLY available from Christ Jesus. To let go of those things you have been conditioned to believe set you apart, that make you special. This was the test for those people trapped in their own self importance as unfortunately many still are. The tradition of their beliefs more important then their promise to GOD. Once Christ Jesus removed that special status from that one small group of people and opened it to all, we all became possible inheritors of that promise, in acceptance and true faith in Christ Jesus we are all Abraham’s seed.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 3:26-29
I did do some research into Messianic Jews previously and unfortunately they still insist on the tradition of physical circumcision. They seem unable to let go of the need to adhering to Gen 17 hoping this will remove their sins rather than have true faith in Christ Jesus. They are confused about some other things too but it serves no purpose to endlessly discuses their errors, one is enough.
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law (circumcision), but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Christ Jesus is ALL you need.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead
Philippians 3
There is no salvation in refusing to let go of vain traditions.
The Church of Christ Jesus, which will consist of those righteous remnant of Israel and the righteous ‘Gentiles’ who will be taken to safety with Christ Jesus. (Jerusalem? surrounded by the armies of satan?)
For personal reasons I understand the torment of those that get seduced into believing genetics make you special.
Please take care always and in everyway, and may The Holy Spirit guide you to glory.
Also, i have a KJV, NKJV and TLV versions of the bible, so you don’t need to copy & paste your verses. I did listen to your video(s) on KJV. But the jewish people did not talk like King James in their day. Also, do you realize that the book of James in the New Testament is actually the book of Jacob? The Greek name of the book is not ‘Demetrios’ which translates as ‘James’ but ‘lacobos’ which translates as ‘Jacob’ or ‘Ya’akov’ in hebrew.
TLV is Tree of Life translation.
Messianic Jews believe that circumcision is not a requirement for salvation. They see it as a tradition of their jewish faith & the Abrahamic covenant.
In Acts 16:1-3 does Paul not circumcise Timothy? Not for salvation of course.
Psalm 117
Let all peoples/nations praise the Lord!
It was done in order to avoid criticism from racists with out of date views, not as a requirement for salvation or as a matter of faith
Acts 16:1-3 describes Paul’s encounter with Timothy in Lystra. Timothy, a young disciple, had a Jewish mother and a Greek father. Paul, wanting Timothy to join him on his missionary journey, had him circumcised, likely to avoid hindering his ministry among the Jewish people due to his father’s Greek background
First of all this is not my site, I am not Hugo, I am just a viewer, sorry for any misconception.
Secondly as this is a public forum I think it is polite to list what I am quoting from so anyone reading this may also join follow along, I was not trying to be condescending.
Once you break your contract with GOD you are no longer anything to do with GOD, you belong to satan. Many men and women in history who were greater than I have fallen from grace and been forgotten. This is precisely why The Father had to send The Word made flesh so a new covenant could be made, so that promise could be fulfilled. That promise would now apply to righteous ‘Gentile’ and ‘Jew’. The New Covenant is the culmination of that promise and everyone found righteous will be ‘heirs according to that promise’ (Galatians 3: 29).
GOD makes the rules not man, the warning of the consequence of the breaking their word to GOD.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
Deuteronomy 28, 15-20 cont. to 68
The verdict of abuse of the physical law amongst the ‘Jews’.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 2: 21-29
GOD always knew the promise would include faithful ‘Gentiles’.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12: 1-3
Why? because GOD knew many would break their covenant, so there would not enough righteous decedents of Israel left to make a church.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
Isaiah 56:7
New Testament Fulfilment of the promise to Israel with the inclusion of righteous Gentiles.
“That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel”
Ephesians 3:6
Matthew 8:5-13
Matthew 15:21-28
Matthew 28:19-20
The Holy Spirit is poured out on the Gentiles
“I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right”
Acts 10
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:14
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
Why would do you need two circumcisions? with one they admit they do for ‘tradition’ only (vanity).
The Messianic Jews unwillingness to let go of the physical covenant shows they refuse to accept Christ Jesus as their only means of salvation in pure faith, with the only circumcision that matters, that of the heart. I can pass no judgment GOD will have the final word.

Your Old Testament quotes can be dealt with, with a simple answer.
At that time GOD only had a small group of chosen people, If they died there would have been no righteous man or woman left to save. Once they were found wanting and the Gentiles/Heathens/Pagans started coming to GOD through faith alone (without a Covenant) GOD turned his face to those righteous people. The ‘Jews’ were falling so fast GOD knew there would not have been enough righteous people left to make a church.
Paul is asking rhetorical questions ‘as a man on the street’ on behalf of those people stuck in the mistaken belief they are still ‘set apart’ that they are still ‘special’. Imagine suddenly being told you have to start again from scratch, it is a difficult, even an impossible step for some.
Paul’s rhetorical questions
Is GOD wrong to tell you the rules? If you have been chosen for a long time can you just do whatever you will? If you are sinning but still following The Old Covenant why can’t you sin freely? If GOD gives you a free hand how can he then judge those coming to him in righteous faith by different rules? Does GOD have to be righteous in his judgements?
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Roman 3, 5-10
~
21 But now God’s righteousness has been revealed apart from the Law, which is confirmed by the Law and the Prophets.
22 God’s righteousness comes through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ for all who have faith in him. There’s no distinction.
23 All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory,
24 but all are treated as righteous freely by his grace because of a ransom that was paid by Christ Jesus.
25 Through his faithfulness, God displayed Jesus as the place of sacrifice where mercy is found by means of his blood. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness in passing over sins that happened before,
26 during the time of God’s patient tolerance. He also did this to demonstrate that he is righteous in the present time, and to treat the one who has faith in Jesus as righteous.
27 What happens to our bragging? It’s thrown out. With which law? With what we have accomplished under the Law? 28 No, not at all, but through the law of faith. We consider that a person is treated as righteous by faith, apart from what is accomplished under the Law.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t God the God of Gentiles also? Yes, God is also the God of Gentiles.
30 Since God is one, then the one who makes the circumcised righteous by faith will also make the one who isn’t circumcised righteous through faith.
31 Do we then cancel the Law through this faith? Absolutely not! Instead, we confirm the Law.
Romans 3, 21-31
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead
Philippians 3
There is no salvation in refusing to let go of vain traditions.
The Church of Christ Jesus, which will consist of those righteous remnant of Israel and the righteous ‘Gentiles’ who will be taken to safety with Christ Jesus. (Jerusalem? surrounded by the armies of satan?)
For personal reasons I understand the torment of those that get seduced into believing genetics make you special.
Please take care always and in everyway, and may The Holy Spirit guide you to glory.

Did you look at any of these Old Testament verses?
You didnt answer my question about whether the unfulfilled promises made to the children of Israel in the Old Testament are null & void?
God is not a liar. And Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today & forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Also, i have a KJV, NKJV and TLV versions of the bible, so you don’t need to copy & paste your verses. I did listen to your video(s) on KJV. But the jewish people did not talk like King James in their day. Also, do you realize that the book of James in the New Testament is actually the book of Jacob? The Greek name of the book is not ‘Demetrios’ which translates as ‘James’ but ‘lacobos’ which translates as ‘Jacob’ or ‘Ya’akov’ in hebrew.
TLV is Tree of Life translation.

Messianic Jews believe that circumcision is not a requirement for salvation. They see it as a tradition of their jewish faith & the Abrahamic covenant.
In Acts 16:1-3 does Paul not circumcise Timothy? Not for salvation of course.
Psalm 117
Let all peoples/nations praise the Lord!

It was done in order to avoid criticism from racists with out of date views, not as a requirement for salvation or as a matter of faith
Acts 16:1-3 describes Paul’s encounter with Timothy in Lystra. Timothy, a young disciple, had a Jewish mother and a Greek father. Paul, wanting Timothy to join him on his missionary journey, had him circumcised, likely to avoid hindering his ministry among the Jewish people due to his father’s Greek background

“Racists”?? Where did that come from?
Isn’t that what I said?…it wasn’t a matter of salvation
They were trying to win over Jews to Christ. Read Acts 15 and Acts 16:4-5.

First of all this is not my site, I am not Hugo, I am just a viewer, sorry for any misconception.
Secondly as this is a public forum I think it is polite to list what I am quoting from so anyone reading this may also join follow along, I was not trying to be condescending.
Once you break your contract with GOD you are no longer anything to do with GOD, you belong to satan. Many men and women in history who were greater than I have fallen from grace and been forgotten. This is precisely why The Father had to send The Word made flesh so a new covenant could be made, so that promise could be fulfilled. That promise would now apply to righteous ‘Gentile’ and ‘Jew’. The New Covenant is the culmination of that promise and everyone found righteous will be ‘heirs according to that promise’ (Galatians 3: 29).
GOD makes the rules not man, the warning of the consequence of the breaking their word to GOD.
15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
Deuteronomy 28, 15-20 cont. to 68
The verdict of abuse of the physical law amongst the ‘Jews’.
21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 2: 21-29
GOD always knew the promise would include faithful ‘Gentiles’.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 12: 1-3
Why? because GOD knew many would break their covenant, so there would not enough righteous decedents of Israel left to make a church.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah 49:6
Isaiah 56:7

“I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism, but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right”
Acts 10
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:14
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
Why would do you need two circumcisions? with one they admit they do for ‘tradition’ only (vanity).
The Messianic Jews unwillingness to let go of the physical covenant shows they refuse to accept Christ Jesus as their only means of salvation in pure faith, with the only circumcision that matters, that of the heart. I can pass no judgment GOD will have the final word.
Colossians 2:11-15
