@Xenophon Even if there were 10s of millions of Israelites, what does it matter? Suppose that some fraction of Abraham’s ancestry is in various people’s all over the world, you just get to Calvanism with extra steps. Which hey if that the route you want to go, fine. But we still end up with the same point which is we can’t know what happens when we die besides what God has told us. It sort of becomes what appears to me a meaningless wrapper that can potentially turn people away from the faith rather than interest them. It also creates an opening for accidental race-worship a la Black Hebrew Israelites :thasrite: . We don’t need that, and Christianity is complete without it.
