Rom 15:26-27
Rom 15
26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Is this the reason why people like John Hagee send a lot of stuff to Israel?

Re: Rom 15:26-27
He was speaking of believers in Jerusalem, not to the nation of Israel or to Jews anywhere or everywhere
Rom 15:25 At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints.
Rom 15:26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem.
Rom 15:27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings.

Yeah, the believers in Jerusalem are being spoken of, no doubt. I was just curious if people sent stuff to Jewish believers based on this scripture...

I don't know, do they do that?
Hagee specifically does not believe Jews need to be saved and chooses to "bless" them I think because
Gen 12:3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

Rom 15:27 has a universal ring however.
I mean, are we not all Gentiles?
Don't we share in the spiritual blessings of Abraham, in part, because of the Jews?
In fact, could our Savior been our Savior if He wasn't born a Jew?
