Bible Note: Greetings Doc! You wrote: "The error is the presumption that this verse is stating that none of Israel are the elect. What Tim presented is a logical fallacy called a false dilemma." This would be true if this were what I actually said. What I said what that there are two groups in Rom. 11 - the elect and the rest who are hardened. Paul already established at the beginning of the chapter that some of the elect include Israelites, since he himself is one. :-) My question concerned the 'rest' who were hardened. They are not included in the 'elect', yet later they have the opportunity to be grafted in. Hopefully, this clears up my question, since I never said anything none of Israel being elect.
