Paul said they are under God's wrath until the end. And all the promises of God belong to Christ, not them. Only until any accept Christ they remain doomed.I hear this sort of statement in discussions like this all the time, and it almost sounds like you guys believe the Jews are beyond forgiveness from God, and that it's an utter impossibility they'll ever turn to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul didn't feel this way, and never took this stand:
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? (Romans 11:11-12)
Don't you think it's a problem if your theology tends towards not even giving the Jews a chance at redemption? Smacks of anti-Semitism, which led to Hitler, and may lead to someone far worse.
