I am interested to know more from those who believe in Dispensationalism. I am wondering what is their understanding from Roman 13, the crafted branches etc.
I am seeking Christian participation only. Not here to debate, but to understand.

Roman 13 was written by Paul, the ex-Pharisee, well verse with Jewish law.
Sorry, it is not in Romans chapter 13, but in Chapter 11.
It mentioned that the Salvation is from the Jews. It spell clearly that the Jews had rejected God's offer of salvation, and quoting the Isaiah
He says that the root is holy (Abraham), so the branch will be holy too. But some of the branches have been broken off (Jews), and others were crafted into the root (Gentile).
Therefore, the other races will also be holy.
Earlier on in Rom 3, Paul taugh that all man are sinners, and fall short the Glory of God. In Chapter 6 it says, wages of sin is death, and th free gift of Gid is eternal life, thru Jesus.
Thus, if any one who accepted the gift of God, Jesus, will be saved. Jews and gentiles.
However, if the Jews reject the free gift of God, they will be like branches broken off the tree.
People, the gift is in your hand. The choice is also yours.

Jewish nationality- those who follow the teaching of the scriptures and follow Christ will go to heaven. Those who follow the old law and deny Christ as their savior will go to hell. The Jews are not better than anyone else as they once were.
Jewish religion-all will go to hell because their religion is not Christ's religion and he is the way.
The same goes for all denominations also (there is only one church) they follow the wants of man, and man's path not the path chosen by Christ. To be a CHRISTIAN we MUST hear, believe, repent,confess and be baptised(for forgiveness not as a sign of being forgiven)} If we do not follow this path then we are on the wrong path.

I agree with DT, anyone weakminded and arogant enough to think that they are the only ones that have the "right" religion and doctorine desrves what ever punishment god if it exists gives them!
