"I dont think christians will be the ones to use the temple.Jews will rebuild"

That's right. The Jews are still and will forever be "God's Chosen People". He never disowned them as "Reconstructionists" and "Replacement Theology" would have you believe. It was a promise made to Israel and Israel alone. He will NEVER break his promise to Israel. That's why He will return to ISRAEL, NOT Salt Lake City, NOT The Grand Ole Oprey, NOT The Crystal Cathedral, NOT to TBN Headquarters, NOT TO CBN headquarters, Y'shua will reign and rule in Jerusalem, Israel, because He too is JEWISH!!!

Do you remember a fellow in Exodus named Cora? He was a member of Israel. What happened to him. He rejected the revelation of God, thru Moses, and he was rejected of God. Is he still and foprever one of those chosen. God has always had one people, people of faith. Anyone who has faith in Christ is one of God's people. The book of Romans makes this all to clear. About the temple, if it is rebuilt, will God accept the sacrifices if they resume. Hebrews said that He would not return to what was only a foreshadow of what was to to come, and that which was to come would be better, and sufficient once and for all. Was the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross sufficient?
And one other question. Can anyone be saved apart from Christ?

As far as this dispensationalism, one of it's points is that the anti-Christ will eventually attack Israel, and kill 2/3 of the Jewish people living there. I know many Christians that are encouraging there Jewish friends to move back to Israel. Now if I thought that 2/3 of them were to be killed, and I loved them like I am supposed to, would I tell them to go to Israel since there would be a good chance of them dying? Heck no, I'd tell to to go to Oklahoma or something.

The New Testament teaches that the only way to God is through Jesus. Jesus spent a lot of time saying that to the Jewish folks living right there in Israel. The reaction of some of them was, "we're children of Abraham." He said God could raise up stones to be children of Abraham if he wanted to. He said you natural birth meant nothing as far as inheriting the kingdom of God. It didn't matter where you were born, what your parents did, or even who your parents descended from. What matters is that you had to be born again, born of the Spirit. Jesus said if the temple were destroyed he would raise it up in 3 days. When He died on the cross, the curtain that Holy of Holies from everything else was torn open. He hasn't put it back up since then. The building, the temple, was destroyed, but the real temple of God, made of living stones, is standing, and will stand. THE temple of God has Jesus as its cornerstone. Would He be the cornerstone if a new temple is built in Jerusalem?
