They made one deadly mistake. As a nation, they rejected Messiah.
There you go. What a difference it would have made if the Jews had accepted Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Someday it will happen but in the meantime too much blood has been spent needlessly. Too many lives snuffed out unnecessarily.
Many things happen in fulfillment of prophecy.
Rom 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
I am not saying I understand; but there it is.
A "deadly mistake", only in the eyes of some Christians. Familiarize yourself with WHY the Jews reject Jesus as messiah before you make such an ignorant statement. They know their Holy book...as well, and better, than you know yours.

If that's not enough, check out my links page. I was born and raised Christian, raised my children Christian...but have come to believe the Jews have it right. I really don't care what anyone chooses to believe...but can't help feeling more than annoyed with those who infer they've got the only way to God.
