Before you removed your links, RL, I read some Col. Mohr. He said words to the effect that certain people were "spiritual Jews" without necessarily being of that bloodline ... (don't remember him posting a Scriptural justification). This means anybody can be "spiritual" anything.
Do you believe this ?
No, I do not believe this. I believe are people can become "twofold more the child of hell" (Matthew 23:15) but I would not call this "spiritual Jews". What material of Col. Mohr's did you read this from? I have heard this term before from others, but like I said I don't agree with it, nor understand it.

Seeing you have a Scottish flag displayed, you may be familiar with the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath.
Wording about kissing the pope's feet etc can be regretted, but those folk knew their origins --
" ... Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown.
They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous.
Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today ..."

Yes, I am very familiar would the Declaration of Arbroath. It was my 22nd great grandfather, Robert the Bruce, who wrote it.
