Are Gentiles the True Israel in Galatians 3? (Ep 200)
Description
In arguing that Gentile believers ought to be considered as True Israel, one of the most significant passages discussed is Galatians 3. In Galatians 3, Gentile believers are called sons of God and the offspring of Abraham. These phrases also refer to Israel in the Old Testament. Does this mean that Gentiles are pictured as the spiritual Israel?
