Lil 'ol OP can't do anything that isn't there. The cross is already a stumbling block to the unconverted Jewish people - as it is to all natural men. 1Co. 1 is explicit on that.
Alex Murphy is 100% correct - if it weren't for the dispensational fetish for the Jews, this would be a non-issue. I know I have absolutely nothing against any ethnicity. But I am angered by those who advocate this dual-covenant track that is found in dispensationalism. It's unbiblical.
Oh, baloney. The fact that there is already one stumbling block in the way--one natural to all men--doesn't mean that one cannot by their behavior set up more in the road, or else Sha'ul's words in Romans 14 become meaningless.
That's like saying that just because it's hard to scale a mountain, it's impossible for the act of pouring slippery oil all over the climber's path to make it any more difficult.

Ah, because of course there was no such thing as anti-Semetic Christian rhetoric before Dispensationalism showed up in the 1800s. Of course, it's all so clear now.
As for Alex being correct, we'll have to wait for him to define his terms to come to any conclusion on that (see posts #55 and 37).
So give me your exegesis of Hosea 3:4-5. BTW, not all dispensationalists hold a dual-covenant track... I don't.
It's unbiblical.

Then the 24 elders--12 disciples and 12 patriarchs ruling on their thrones eternally in heaven is unbiblical
What Hogwash.
God meant what He said and said what He meant whether folks arbitrary biases can wrap their understanding about it, or not.
