Are Christians Grafted In?


Well, some are.

And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear
[Romans 11:17-20]


It also says, some of the natural branches are broken.

Which ones?

The ones that rejected Jesus Christ.

What is a natural branch that is still on the root? A Christian of Jewish origin.

What is an ingrafted branch, first grown on a wild olive? A Christian of Non-Jewish origin.

What is a broken branch? A non-Christian Jew, which is what the word Jew most usually means in some languages.

Meanwhile, there is a real replacement, from Aaronic to Apostolic priesthood. Melchisedec was not called a Cohen because he was a secular official, he was a priest of the Most High. The wine and bread were not a diplomatic meal, but his sacrifice. And that means, there is today a non-rejected sacrifice, but one which is not of the Jewish rite, as the word is usually understood, but of the Catholic rite.

That replacement is very real.

Romae natalis sanctorum Apostolorum Petri et Pauli, qui eodem anno eodemque die passi sunt, sub Nerone Imperatore. Horum prior, in eadem Urbe, capite ad terram verso cruci affixus, et in Vaticano juxta viam Triumphalem sepultus, totius Orbis veneratione celebratur; posterior autem, gladio animadversus, et via Ostiensi sepultus, pari honore habetur.
