I googled and I will admit that I am too ignorant to understand all this. Is what this states is that if Jews are not saved by believing in Christ's resurrection, they have no eternal life in heaven?

If this is not the age of the church, then what does our salvation mean??? THAT definitely is not negated according to Scripture. Being a Christian is a choice, being a Jew is not. However, it is difficult to understand, because in retrospect it was the Jewish Sanhedrin that did so much of the persecuting of Christ and His followers. However, even they were part of God's will. I do not have the answer. God does.

However, I am adverse to the terminology (wonder where it originated) of replacement “theology”. I would think our “faith” has a bottom line in John 3:16. That said, it continues to be debated on this thread whether or not that included the Jews.

In a nutshell, "replacement theology" is the belief that the Divine promises to Israel were forfeited when Christ was rejected, and those forfeited promises devolved to the Church.

It has nothing to do with salvation.

"That said, it continues to be debated on this thread whether or not that included the Jews."

Read Romans 11:13-25. That might help clear it up for you.
