Hello,
Thanks for writing.
Lot's of scripture which is great. I do find a couple of assumptions on your part in the last paragraph. The scripture is plain, but does not necessarily go as far as you do in your summation.
You might find this interesting concerning Galatians 3.

A couple of years ago I contacted Dr. Priest. He was not only our math teacher, but counselor and landlord! He made one correction, but said that logically all was correct.
I do have a different take on Ephesians 2 than most. I find that the chapter has been misused by most. It is in actuality a fulfillment of several old testament prophecies. The language is quite interesting.
-----------------------------------
Now back to today.
One has always been able to align themselves to God. One can not become a Levite or Judahite other than through birth. One should keep that in mind in scripture in relation to inheritance as well. Too many people are always trying to steal Israel's inheritance.
Ever read the 1840 Book of Jasher? It is not canonized, but a very interesting read. It is available on line free. There is a link to it at this address.

By the way, if you read Jasher you will get a different take on Moses and the Cushite woman. Jasher is a fascinating read. I enjoyed it and wonder what all the fuss is about. I know it is not canonized, but what other book do we have today that is twice mentioned in scripture? That should give us some desire to at least read it.
You know a lot of people try to say that in the old testament God dealt with some people they mistakenly call Jews. Then he gave them up and dealt with Gentiles in the new testament. This makes God a promise breaker and lier. Part of the problem is a misunderstanding with terms. I think you understand this. The term Gentile (ethnos) does not mean non-Jew and at least 6 or 7 times in scripture refers to Judahites or at least Judeans. Context is everything.
Here is a book online that I found that I highly endorse concerning the terms Jew and Gentile. I did not write it, but I wish I had. :-)

I am not a debater. I enjoy chatting, sharing and learning. It is one problem I have when dealing with people who write me concerning things like instrumental music for instance. I have a church of Christ background and they teach the use of an instrument as sin. I understand that God does not change and can not change his morals. If it was a sin the day Adam was placed in the garden it is a sin today. If it is a sin today then it was a sin that same day. God does not change. God commanded the use of an instrument in the period of the old scriptures and thus it can not be sin today. God does not change and to change God's morals changes God into a different god. Expand that to things beyond instrumental music and you get my point and I am glad that you understand this as well. Guess I am venting! :-)
