The Zionist and the Kinist are alike undone by the biblical answer to a single question:
Who are those who may rightly be counted as children of Abraham?
The answer is, all who share the same faith that Abraham had are his legitimate offspring, which includes faith in Jesus as the Messiah, the promised Christ that Abraham trusted God would provide. (Galatians 3, especially verses 7, 16, and 29.
"And if you are Christ's, THEN you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." (Gal. 3:29)
The inverse would also be true: If you are NOT Christ's, then you are NOT Abraham's offspring, and are not heirs.
This undoes the Zionist, because it means that so-called Israel of today is no people of God whatsoever, except those who rest and trust in Christ. Therefore, they have no claim on the promises of God made to Abraham. Only the Church does.
This likewise undoes the kinist, because it means that everyone in Christ are to be considered "kin" in the only way that matters, by sharing the same faith as Abraham, united to one another through unity with Christ.
