They (and we) are Israelites - Romans 9:3-8
In Romans 9:3-8 and 11:1-4, Paul explicitly states that the genetic descendants of Abraham remain Israelites and parties to all of Israel's prior promises and covenants despite their unfaithfulness. But he says another very curious thing: They are descended from Abraham, but they aren't all children of Abraham. On the other hand, many people from the nations are not descended from Abraham, but they *are* children of Abraham and of God.
How can this be so? There are two kinds of "father" in Scripture: genetic fathers and spiritual fathers.
