Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sends this Christmas message to Christian friends of Israel around the world:
One shudders to think where Israel would be without Christians, especially American Christians. Hated by most Muslims and viewed with indifference or worse by most secular and atheist regimes, Israel needs–and, fortunately, enjoys–the support of a large majority of Christians. It is one more thing to be grateful for this holiday season.

We’ve read the book. Genesis 12:1-3
12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you
Amen.
Am Yisrael Chai!
Winning!
So, do you believe Jews are saved? Is there an alternative to redemption through Jesus Christ?
That verse isn’t talking about Israel.
Jesus Himself said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life - no one come to the father except through Me" (John 14:6)
Jesus was either:
lying,
insane,
or really if the only way.

Your question poses a false premise never implied in the post you responded to. There is only one way and it is through Jesus.
A Jew can only go to God through Christ, yes most Jews will be condemned just like most gentiles, none of this is mutually exclusive.
I do hope you are not of the replacement theology persuasion. Yes Abraham’s blessings do carry forward through the cbosen lineage, blessings are passed onto the firstborn.
Exodus 4:22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my firstborn son,
I do not know the exact mechanism through which the Chosen People will be saved, but that is immaterial.
I agree, that is what I posted.
Thank you for the Christmas wishes best of luck to you in the new year. Many of us recognize you are the right man for this time, May God bless you.
Happy and safe holidays to all my friends in Israel!
BiBi has certainly saved many a peoples by ridding the world of Hamas and other thugs like them....we have much to thank the Israeli forces for....and then some.
Were it not for the Jews we would not have the Christ!...and we’d all be doomed!
Irrelevant. The subject of that verse is the Seed of Abraham, which is confirmed multiple times to be Jesus Christ. Not the tribe of Judah, not the modern secular state of Israel, which was not the kingdom of the Judahites to begin with.
You have no support for your conjecture except for a selective reading of scripture.
Limiting God’s word is unwise, God has clearly demonstrated his protective hand over the Jews. You ignore his works on earth in the Jewish nation with such a statement and show even more likely you believe in replacement theology, a hateful doctrine that has justified countless inhumanities.
Show the countless times it has been justified, then go on the explain how anyone can BLESS Jesus Christ the King of Kings, Son of God and the Word of Creation?
Your interpretation falls apart as non nonsensical, God’s creation cannot bless God.
“I(God) will bless THOSE who bless THEE(Seed of Abraham=Christ).” Your reading comprehension is lacking.
God will Bless those who Bless thee, clearly someone else is blessing his seed before God does, your comprehension is the one lacking.
Also you are adding to the scripture, when you put Christ in there you are specifically correcting God’s word, I prefer to not impute to God’s Word anything more than what He says. God blessed all through his seed via Christ but those blessing his seed are blessed doubly in Christ and for honoring God’s chosen people.
The statement is clearly not allegory, symbolism nor a metaphor therefore treating is as such is perverting His Word.
