  1. "Neither Jew nor Greek" is a clumsy but common mistranslation of Neither Jew nor Hellene".
  2.  
  3. "Hellene", by the time Paul was writing, essentially meant "pagan" or the practitioner of Greco-Egyptian-Roman religion. It is used in this manner to the end of antiquity, and this use continued on in the Byzantine Empire, which was populated by ethnic Greeks who identified as 'Romaioi' and pronounced an anathema on "Hellenes" in every Mass.
  4.  
  5. From the Synodikon of Orthodoxy:
  6.  
  7. "Anathema upon those who clam to be pious but shamelessly or rather impiously introduced the ungodly teaching of the Hellenes into the Orthodox Catholic Church concerning human souls and heaven and earth and other created objects."
  8.  
  9. It is astonishing to me how ineradicable ignorance on this passage is. Paul does have teachings about race and nationality and blood inheritance, but this is not one of those teachings.
  10.  
  11. Another point that people get stuck on is the difference between racial heredity - which Paul recognizes - and the status of being 'Israel'. For Paul, 'Israel' is a non-hereditarian status that is 'reckoned through Isaac', which is to say 'heirs according to the promise':
  12.  
  13. "In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring."
  14.  
  15. This is our first piece of evidence that Paul understands that physical descent is a real and important phenomenon, but that the status 'Israel' is not granted via physical descent.
  16.  
  17. Now, in Romans 11, Paul reconciles his theories of physical heredity and descent with the concept of 'Israel', now in play.
  18.  
  19. "17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
  20.  
  21. 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!"
  22.  
  23. What Paul is saying is that, even though Gentiles can now participate in Israel ('heirs according to the promise') that there is an inborn foreign-ness and inferiority to them. They are 'wild shoots' who have been grafted onto the root. However, they are still alien to the tree. Even unbelieving Jews, given that they accept Christ, will be more easily and naturally re-grafted onto the tree and take sustenance from the root, for it is their natural home, whereas Gentiles are grafts which are 'contrary to nature'.
  24.  
  25. "if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!"
  26.  
  27. The Tree of Salvation is "their own", i.e. the native property of biological Jews, for whom the tree is their "natural home" and to whom Gentile grafts are "contrary to nature".
  28.  
  29. Paul explicitly says that biological Jews will "be more easily" and "naturally" re-grafted onto the tree, which is THEIR natural home, not ours. Salvation is of the Jews.
  30.  
  31. This is Paul's teaching on race, and thus the teaching of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Every Christian is a Jewish Supremacist, and however anti-Semitic he believes himself to be, cannot actually act against Jews or hate them, because they themselves, in their very bodies, are Salvation and Gentiles are not only exiles from heaven and Salvation, but aliens and strangers to it.
  32.  
  33. This is a doctrine of racial and spiritual supremacy, and it is the reason that the White Race will be destroyed. Contrary to WN and alt.right blather, worshiping a 'foreign god' does no harm at all: neither China nor Japan have been subordinated to India despite the fact that they are dependent on India for all their developments in spirituality: Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Hua Yen, Shingon, the Marital Arts, Alchemy, meditation, yoga, tai chi, aikido, etc. etc. etc.
  34.  
  35. No, the problem comes when you worship both a god that hates you (YHVH and Jesus are both on record as hating gentiles, as are James and the Jerusalem Church, who both denied that the new apocalyptic cult had any connection to gentiles) and subconsciously worship a people who have no intention towards you other than your impoverishment, your immiseration, the theft of your birthright, the erasure of your history, and your enslavement and mass murder. YHVH has promised that the 'mountains will boil' with our blood.
  36.  
  37. THIS is what you worship. This is what the pope worships. This is what Rod Dreher worships. This is what every Christian after the North African Councils (Hippo and Carthage, 393 - 419) affirmed on pain of death. This is what the overwhelming majority of Gentiles have affirmed, and bear personal responsibility for, since just before the Protestant Reformation, when the genuine filth and ignorance of the Bible became plain knowledge, along with its hatred of non-Jews, which span the millennia.
  38.  
  39. The result? Northern Europeans intensified their identification with the ancient Israelites, adopting their names, habits, beliefs, and characteristic modes of behavior, in a hysterical reaction - formation to the fact that, according to the filth that their ancestors had signed off on, they destroyed their own ancestral lore, inheritance, statues, artwork, buildings, libraries, prayer, dances, music, etc. in favor of.
  40.  
  41. To stop the process will require an emphatic and widespread rebuke of the contents of the Bible in both Testaments.
  42.  
  43. Bad news for us, I suppose."
