The nation of Israel is God's visible witness to His ability to fulfill His promises no matter what. Israel should not exist. The dispersion and restoration of the nation was prophesied. As you say, salvation for Jews is on exactly the same basis as for Gentiles. In Christ, the distinction is wiped.My favorite verse in the bible. I'm sure some would say it's anti-semitic:
John 14:6 - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
I don't think there's any two plans for salvation.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about "God's chosen people" like I'm supposed to bow down and kiss their boots.
I think the term judeo-christian is blasphemous. Judaism and Christianity are 100% opposite on the only issue that matters.
Jews whole identity is wrapped up in their rejection of Jesus.
I have a theory that Catholicism, Islam and Judaism will merge to form Satan's counterfeit, last days religion. It's on the way with the merger of Islam and Catholicism. The unheard of alliance between Sunni nations and Israel is interesting to say the least.
