Wherefore remember, that ye being
in time past Gcnliles in the flesh who
are called Uncircumcision by that which
Is called the Circumcision In The flesh
made by hands;
That at that time ye were without
Christ, being aliens frcm the common-
wealth Of Israel and strangers from the
covenants Of promise, having no ho3e,
and without God IN The world tEph

Yes, they were Gentiles in the
flesh. And at that time they
were without Christ, aliens
from the commonw wealth OF Israel
had no right to it, and was stran,
gers from the covenants Of prom
Use. The Israelites had access
to both of these; What a dif-
ference there was between these
two people. But brother Roberts
says there was none, and God
said, that the Gentiles was with
out God and without hope in the
world. The lsraeltes had hope
and a God, and yet God said
they had slidden back with a per.
petral backsliding. So VT see
tbat it was not because they
were so much hollier than the
Gentiles that they had these priv
ileges; ii was because they had
eternal life, and the Gentiles did.

For in our last Issue we proved
by the word that God blinded

tiles, and that as concerning the
gospel they were enemies for
the sake Of the Gentiles. And in
this scripture we learn That the
Sentiles was made nigl by the
shed blood of Christ, Before
this they were afar off And
after they had been brought
nigh by the blood of Christ. we
again learn that the middle wal
was broken down as 1t reads,

Peace was now declared in
this act, between the Israelites
and the Gentiles, This is con,
hrmod again in this language:
Having abolished in his flesh the en-.
nifty, even the law OF commandments
contained in ordinances; for 10 make in

Well brother Roberts here is
the two men spoken of again.
Yes there had been a middle
wall between them, and Christ
broke it down, to make in him
self OF twain one new man. This
is pretty hard on your one mar
theory, but it is Bible. So broth

! hui we must give you a littl,
more of Gods Word, for It Is s,
good and sweet; for God said
man lives not by bread alone
but by every word OF God. S,
here it Is, read for yourself.
