   James, do not deceive yourself. Unless you have been Born Again and washed in   
   the blood, filled with the Holy Spirit, you are none of His. Meaning God's.   
      
   Your last quoted verse was to the converted Jew. Not Gentiles.   
      
   Fact is, that every verse you quoted was to Jews. Gentiles were never under   
   the Judaic Law Covenant.
