a place in the kingdom for unbelieving jews? No, scripture indicates they will believe in the future.There is a Dispie teachings that reserves a place in the kingdom for unbelieving Jews.
Of course, if a Jew responds to the gospel and comes to Christ...he is most welcome...since the offer from God is first to the JEW THEN to the Gentile.
But this doctrine makes it....First to the Gentile and THEN to the Jew. This is backwards, of course.
The error stems also from the rendering of ALL Israel. Messianics fight tooth and nail over this part of the word that they have misunderstood.
When Ephraim, which is the fullness of the Gentiles, comes in THEN ALL ISRAEL will be saved. How? Well, the coming in of the nations into Christ completes Israel. The Jews are already represented in the kingdom. It is the time of the nations. After that the Lord returns.
Jesus said....this gospel must be preached in ALL the nations THEN the end will come (since ALL Israel is completed by the Gentiles)
What Jesus did NOT say is...First this gospel must go to all nations THEN the gospel will finally be preached in Judea.
NO, Rather the gospel message began in Judea and then into all the world. The Gentiles are the remnant of Ephraim. Once Ephraim is joined to Judah....the 2 shall be ONE stick in the hand of God and Jesus will be shepherd over them.
It is a Messianic Jewish myth that God has not already redeemed all nations. The Jews are not like a special race of people that are destined to rule over the nations. This is a confusion based on self-interest.
The SAINTS (coming from all nations) will rule with Christ as His Bride over the nations.
Just because we are today called "the nations" does NOT mean we are forever limited to "the nations." This is the error of many Jewish believers.
Jesus said that many will come from the nations and sit down with the OT saints....where? The New Jerusalem.
Does self-interest inherit the kingdom of God? God forbid!
you are always careful to not condemn unbelievers but leave it to God who will have a place and where. But concerning the jews, you don't seem to have that same mercy.
