When I was in an elite, all-girl, catholic High School, we were told Jews couldn't get to heaven and a lot of other anti-Jewish propoganda.

I protested, saying that's ridiculous and what did I get?? Two weeks of detention.

Is the Pope Catholic? No.

I think it’s clear from Paul that Jews who do not believe in Christ are lost. They are not “true Israel”, through unbelief their circumcision has become uncircumcision, a man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, etc. Yet they are advantaged and beloved “on account of the patriarchs”. They have been groomed to accept Christ, though stumbling over him as a stumbling stone and being (partially) hardened.

Lots of fascinating paradoxes in Scripture, that’s for sure!

We know that Jews are the chosen people, but aside from that it`s above my pay grade.

If they get a total pass, this is indeed good news for the Hollywood Jews.

Vatican is wrong?

Huh.

The chaff is fairly jumping off the wheat.

Jesus said to the Jews:

“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

[aimhigh]

"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:36

It doesn't get more plain that this. Theologians like the Pope, get so entrenched in doctrinal studies they forget what the scriptures actually say. Sad.

There's a error in the first line:

A leading Jewish Messianic Christian group in America

Fixed.

[FourPeas]

Why would Jesus have been born and spent his entire life living with Jews if His salvation was not for them? Sure he bumped into a few Romans and Samaritans, but the vast majority of those who saw, heard or followed him were Jews. Jesus specifically called Jews to be his disciples.

The whole concept of Jesus’ salvation not being for the Jews is...silly.

Apparently Acts 4:12, Romans 1:16 and many other verses need to be removed from the scriptures?

This is a deeply moving document. I recommend reading all of it.

1. "Nostra aetate" (No.4) is rightly counted among those documents of the Second Vatican Council which have been able to effect, in a particularly striking manner, a new direction of the Catholic Church since then. This shift in the relations of the Church with the Jewish people and Judaism becomes apparent only when we recall that there were previously great reservations on both sides, in part because the history of Christianity has been seen to be discriminatory against Jews, even including attempts at forced conversion (cf. "Evangelii gaudium", 248). The background of this complex connection consists inter alia in an asymmetrical relationship: as a minority the Jews were often confronted by and dependent upon a Christian majority. The dark and terrible shadow of the Shoah over Europe during the Nazi period led the Church to reflect anew on her bond with the Jewish people.

The document was released as part of commemorations for the fiftieth anniversary of Vatican II's decree Nostra Aetate, which dealt with Catholicism's relation with Judaism and other religions.

Vatican II's Nostra Aetate: the true beginning of the "Catholic" Church's current, non-Catholic thinking".
