If Christ abolished circumcision on the cross, and one could not be a member of physical Israel apart from it, there are no genuine physical members of Israel today. Jesus is Israel along with those united to him by faith.

After Jesus abolished circumcision on the cross, that generation who were circumcised before then remained physical Jews. These are the unbelievers he broke off from Israel. But after that generation the Law had fully expired and the New Covenant was fully in force.

Rom 11:28
As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.

The issue of the Jews being jews has NOTHING to do with the New Covenant!

Scripture does not support the notion Jews are born. God chose Issac's family from whom he called forth his seed - Christ. But many non relatives were also Jews through circumcision. In Abraham's day, over 300 of his servants and their families were his covenant seed through circumcision. At the time Ishmael was his only blood relative,

Think about it this way. In Romans 11 God removes the physical unbelievers from Israel. The Paul says, for the father's sake, he will graft them back in through faith in Christ. So if faith in Christ grafts them back in, Christ and those who believe in him are Israel.

When Jesus abolished circumcision he excommunicated all unbelieving Jews from membership in Israel. Only those who accepted Christ remained Israel.

If you convert to Judaism you become a Jew. But it is a false religion today based on hatred and rejection of Christ.

Who did God remove from Israel in Romans 11 . The spiritual believers, or the physical unbelievers?

He did NOT make natural Jews no longer jews, but he did bring saved gentiles into spiritual israel!

He removed the physical unbelievers from Israel. They became gentiles by default. But God is saving them during the times of the gentiles through faith in Christ, for the father's sake.

Do saved Satan worshipers stay Satan worshipers too? No, they become Christians.
