How is my point meaningless? Is it not true that Pauls theme is about Israel and how Gentiles are become participants with them of the root?
The olive tree speaks of the oil pressed from the olive for light. The nations, while they are on the earth, are to be light bearers until the Lord should come back. Then the nations will be taken out and Israel grafted back in to become the light bearers. When the nations are taken out they go to be among the celestials. The Israelite light bearers remain on the earth during the 1000 years.
Your statement here continually seperates believing Israel and believing Gentile who Paul affirms are both participants together in the root of the olive tree.

Here is the exchange. Let's see your meaningless point:

Two different destinies.

Your answer is pressing more into it than what the Point is. In no way does this passage support all your additives.

Actually, my point is correct and your statement is meaningless.
Tony's new post: The believers of the nations do partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree. There were still some Israelite believers plugged into the tree. When the nations are cut out of the tree once again then there will only be Israelite believers grafted in. When that happens just the Jews will be the light bearers on the earth with a few proselytes to Judaism.
Does this make sense?
