Precious! Thank you!
to somehow even suggest He will cast them off completely..
Who has suggested such a thing? Apparently, in your haste to place a futurist slant on everything you read, you have failed to acknowledge that non-futurists like myself do not see the Jews as being cast off completely. I think I have made that abundantly clear (at least Ive tried to in that face of opposition). Oh, sure, some folks around these parts have thrown out the A word, but thats a red herring.
The greatest blessing that anyone can experience, Jew or gentile, is salvation through Jesus Christ, and to be counted among the true sons of Abraham. You and your futurist friends seem to think that Jews will somehow be short-changed in the divine scheme if they dont get something more out of this world than their gentile brethren.
