I believe the only Jews who are God's Chosen People are those who have accepted His Son.
That said, I have nothing against Israel or Jews. I can agree to disagree with them on any and everything and still be civil.
Just as they don't believe God considers me one of His, I do not believe those who have not accepted Christ are saved, either.
God's Chosen People are those who follow God. All Christians know that no one who does not accept His Son cannot be following God.
And for those hoping to usher in the "end times" by helping Israel build the Temple back up, I personally believe they are being duplicitous with Israel in their reasoning. However, any Jew can read the New Testament and determine this motivation.
Thank you for this excellent article. I would disagree with you on the statement that God's chosen people can only be Christians though. That is just my opinion, and I'm sure most here would agree with you. IMHO, the covenant between God and the Jews was not made invalid with the coming of Jesus Christ. That is why I don't consider myself evangelical. I don't think that observant Jews need my advice to relate to God.
This is certainly an ignorant statement. I don't of any Jews who think Christians are going to be damned in hell for eternity.
I agree...WE know the temple has to be rebuilt in Jerusalem before Jesus comes back...
And we know as well that Jesus wants us to take care of HIS people, the Jews...
