The Jews who have chosen the Second Covenant, are covered by Christ’s blood. Christ did not live and die to replace the First Covenant, but to offer an alternative in order to encompass all peoples. If you are a Jew, I do not mean to offend, but explain the differences between the two. Both are legit. I’m just hoping that I have not started yet another chasim between fellow FRiends. Ulimately. it comes down to this, one is either a member of the “Club” or is not.

Sorry, but I take His words to be exactly what they are:

(4) And you know the way to where I am going.” (5) Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” (6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”

Jesus makes it very plain - eschewing parables, even - that HE is the way, not A way, THE way, to the Father.

Christ died not to “destroy the law but to fulfill the law” so that the law of God bocomes written on all hearts of flesh, not on tablets of stone. “There is no Jew nor Greek, slave or free” declared Paul.

Paul, when expounding
upon the “unknown God” on the Athens mount declared that is was the True God that men were worshiping when they paid homage to this deity, and he further went on to explain that the True God now command that all nations accept His son Jesus as the only true way to salvation.

The whole of the New Testament speaks against your assertions and I’ll bet that Messianic Jews who know the thrill of their saviour would have a few things to say as well!
