1 | Jews saved without Christ? | John 14:6 | Radioman2 | 82828 | ||
'Salvation Without Conversion?' - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Hagee "...believes that Jewish people do not need to be saved, since they are under a different covenant' (http://www.equip.org/free/DE405.htm). - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Hagee is recognized as a fierce foe of anti-Semitism... 'While his bold stance against anti-Semitism is certainly praiseworthy, Hagee’s zealousness for the Jewish people and their cause has led him to commit a most serious doctrinal error — salvation for the Jews without conversion to Christianity. One newspaper account puts it this way: 'Trying to convert Jews is a “waste of time,” he [Hagee] said. . . . 'Everyone else, whether Buddhist or Baha’i, needs to believe in Jesus, he says. But not Jews. Jews already have a covenant with God that has never been replaced with Christianity, he says. '“The Jewish people have a relationship to God through the law of God as given through Moses,” Hagee said. “I believe that every Gentile person can only come to God through the cross of Christ. I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption. '“The law of Moses is sufficient enough to bring a person into the knowledge of God until God gives him a greater revelation. And God has not,” said Hagee . . .[9] '“There are right now Jewish people on this earth who have a powerful and special relationship with God,” declares Hagee in one of his books. “...Let us put an end to the Christian chatter that “all the Jews are lost” and can’t be in the will of God until they convert to Christianity! . . . there are a certain number of Jews in relationship with God right now...” [10] 'Hagee also affirms: “If God blinded the Jewish people to the identity of Jesus as Messiah, how could He send them to hell for not seeing what he had forbidden them to see?”[11] He continues, “All people will gain entrance into heaven through Christ. The question is one of timing.” [12] 'Such rhetoric raises some thorny questions. When Hagee says “all people will gain entrance into heaven through Christ,” he is either advocating universalism (literally all people — Jewish and Gentile — will be saved), or he believes that all Jews will be saved. In either case, both positions are in serious error, but the latter is more consistent with his other statements' (http://www.equip.org/free/DH005.htm).

2 | Jews saved without Christ? | John 14:6 | Acts 22 | 82907 | ||
I am a Jewish Believer with a great deal of background in the religion. God chose the Jews to follow His laws and be an example to the rest of the world. He didn't imbue them with privilege and certainly didn't exclude them from being saved. Anyone who reads the Bible correctly will come to the understanding that Jesus was the Son of God and only through the Son can you hope to come to the Father. Only the saved will gain entrance to Heaven. Most Jews have little understanding of life after death. Jewish statistics today tells us that too few even know the laws, customs and rituals that make up their religion. What's missing is Jesus. | ||||||

I too am a Messianic Jew and agree there is only one way. That is Jesus. There is a movement of God in Israel among the youth that is very encouraging. | ||||||
