But, we are also taught that God has a redeeming plan for His people (the Jews) and that they remain God's chosen people who will be protected by God through the end of time? Does God have two plans--one for the Christians and another for the Jews?
As I understand it, everyone must "believe in Jesus" in order to be "saved." Most of the Jews (God's "chosen" people) do not accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Never have.
Did God make some kind of "exception" for them so that they can be saved regardless of their belief (or lack of it)? Where (in the Bible) does it say that the Jews "get a pass" when in comes to believing in Jesus Christ?
And how about the millions of Jews who died in the holocaust? Are they now in hell because they didn't "accept Jesus," or are they in heaven because they are God's chosen ones?

Did I say He did?

Did I say anything to contradict this?

Ah, but one day they will accept the Christ, God's Messiah.

You are putting words in my mouth. Words I did not speak. You cannot challenge the truth of what I speak.
