Your point is not clearyly articulated, but from what little I gather, you have it all wrong... you see, Jesus wept over Jerusalem, and stated in John 4:22 - “Salvation is of the Jews”... Israel is the trunk and as Christians, we are grafted into Israel, the true vine. The object of God’s love never changes, because the Lord never changes.

The invitation is for all, the means is Christ, the house is the House of Israel and you are restored to fellowship, Jew or Gentile, with the God of Israel through the Son, but you are restored to the House of Israel, there is a physical Jerusalem and a spiritual one.

Be careful with this opinion of discarding the Jews out of God’s plan, this concept is erroneous and evil... It is this kind of thinking that has led to the slaughter of millions of innocent men, women and children. God is no respector of persons and unless you are able to identify with the plight of the Jew throughout history, since Egypt and Haman, you will not understand what being a Jew of the flesh or of the spirit, is all about.

Right. Gentiles are grafted unto the Jews/Judaism. So, how is it that they have replaced Judaism, the faith that Jesus lived and taught, with a new religion called Christianity?

Not quite. The invitation is for all. The means is YHWH. YHWH is our Salvation. Jesus would tell you that. All you have to do is return to YHWH. Jesus taught repentance and was trying to get people to return to YHWH, the Savior. Those lost sheep, they are the Israelites that through exile and or captivity, married into gentile nations and became gentiles. Jesus was trying to bring them back into the Judaic fold.

Be careful with this opinion of discarding the Jews out of God’s plan, this concept is erroneous and evil...

Sure is. Be careful, too, about discarding the faith that Jesus taught and lived.
