Does God have two plans--one for the Christians and another for the Jews?

Did I say He did?

As I understand it, everyone must "believe in Jesus" in order to be "saved."

Did I say anything to contradict this?

Most of the Jews (God's "chosen" people) do not accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Never have.

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

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?

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

My apologies if that is what you inferred from my questions. They were meant to stimulate discussion and were not aimed specifically at you.

Here are some more questions (for all) to consider. You do not have to respond if you choose not to.

The Christians claim to be "saved." The Jews claim to be "chosen." Is the reverse also true? Are the Christians "not chosen" and the Jews "not saved?" Which is better, to be saved or to be chosen?

You mentioned that "one day" the Jews will accept Christ as God's Messiah. Can they afford to risk it (not accepting Christ) until that day comes?
