“I do not find the word Christ in that verse”
Since it’s not there I wouldn’t expect you to but then again I wasn’t quoting the verse but explaining (how obvious can it be?)
If God has lied to the Jews and has broken His promises to them, then He has broken His promises to everyone and committed a horrific sin when He sent Jesus Christ to die. If He has lied to the Jews, and has broken His eternal covenants with them (even though those who make these lies about God can never produce His words that tell us that His eternal covenant with His chosen people is broken), then He has lied also to those who believe they are saved. If God will lie to one, He will lie to all.
This is the real issue you are dealing with:
in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
and
But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. (1 Corinthians 2:14)
Satan was the first person to deny the word of God and call God a liar and anyone who follows in that path and denies the word of God and says that there are parts of the Bible in which God lies does not know Christ as Savior. It's that simple.
God promised His people He would bring them back from among the nations into their own land and He has fulfilled that promise. He promised His people He would restore their nation and He has fulfilled that promise.
God is in the process of keeping the promises He made to His people, and despite the best efforts of those who, like Satan, despise the Jewish people and have allowed themselves to be deceived into believing that the Bible is a book of fairy tales and that God lies, He will continue to keep every last promise He made to the Jews down to the most minute detail.
Whenever you see a person denying the Scripture that details God's promises to the Jews, and lying about what God has said about His chosen people, you can know that you are not dealing with someone who knows Christ as Savior. No true believer in Christ would deny His word, and no true believer in Christ would accuse Him of lying.
