A similar discussion was entertained in the John Hagee thread, but I wanted to discuss the Jewish salvation apart from Pastor Hagee.
The Jews and salvation have been a question that I have struggled with for years now. I mean I really struggle with this. I believe John 14:6, but Matthew 23:37-39, seems to me suggest that Jesus knew that Israel would reject Him as the Messiah. I can’t find the verse, but doesn’t it say somewhere that God closed the eyes of the Jewish people for the sake of the gentiles?
I believe that the God of Christianity is the same God the Jews worship. Unlike Allah of Islam, whose characteristics are lopsided when compared to the characteristics of the God of the Bible.
If God did shut the eyes of the Jewish people for the sake of the gentiles, then they (Jews) got a raw deal if their going to Hell for doing what God intended for them to do.
I’ve talked w/ my Pastor about this and all he can say is John 14:6, but I need more. I don’t know why I struggle with this. I have no Jewish friends to witness to or ask them.
Help!
