"an annual ceremony of confession and atonement for sin"
That does not mean saving!
Jesus, and all the other Jews that had seen and accepted Him, informed them of the fact that it was time the change gears. Paul was blinded, but this led him toward the Truth, not away from it. Paul never gave any of the unbelieving Jews a false sense of security like some are doing today.
but all of the ancient Hebrew/Jews in the Old Testament did this and was later saved through Christ.
so the Jews of Jesus day were doing this and later Jesus would save them.
Not with unbelief.....ever. They have to believe on Jesus, no matter how many sacrifices they made.

so all ancient Hebrews who did not know Jesus is in hell even though they followed Yahweh and obeyed His command to sacrifice?
the ancient Jews before the New testament thought Messiah was coming as a Ruler and King. so they would not be thinking of him like He did come. so they are not saved?
Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life. Besides, does not the scriptures say Jesus returns with 10000 of his saints? Surely it is not that difficult to figure out.
ok!
God set it up didn't He so it would point the right way.
so the jews were saved then!
that's ENOCH and then Jude.
which Old Testament Jew knew this other than from Enoch?
They did not quote from the book of Enoch, they quoted from OT and Enoch was an OT prophet. We have already cover this. What's next they quored from Quran? Don't be absurd!
No they were not. Again you are interjecting your beliefs into what is NOT written.
I know which is why I included that, because earlier you claimed they quoted from the gnostic text of the book of Enoch which is not a Biblical source.
I shall humbly confess that the salvational state of Jews who died thousands of years ago is beyond the scope of my ministry, but I do recall Jesus telling a certain Jew named Nicodemus that he must be born again.
I am a Jew by birth, but raised as a Christian. So how can I hate my own people? Again those unclean fingers point. Have you no control?
