No, a man is a Jew because he is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise does not come from men, but from God. Romans 3:2. Much in every way. First of all, they have been entrusted with the very words of God.

Paul’s Concern for the Jewish People - As a Christian, I’m telling you the truth. I’m not lying. The Holy Spirit, along with my own thoughts, supports me in this.
