This is a good perspective. The western culture "church" is really lost it's roots. We have been grafted in ... we (the church) isn't a REPLACEMENT. I like his logic. We are, by faith, messianic Jews.
So when Jesus claims that “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” are you suggesting that it doesn’t apply to Israel even though Jesus was directing that very comment to Jews? Are you saying that one can reject the Messiah and remain within “God’s chosen people”? Please explain to me what Jesus meant when He stated during the last supper that a new covenant between God and His people is established through Jesus’s blood. Have I misunderstood that the old covenant is replaced because Jesus fulfilled the law through His death and resurrection? Paul wrote a lot about this to assist in our understanding. Have I misunderstood this too?
Galatians 3:28-29 (KJV) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:16 (KJV) 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. ...I thought the Bible says the promise is made to Abraham's seed (which is Christ)...
Not a lot can be added to his answer except a hearty AMEN!

Thank you for these very sensible observations.

YHVH, Israel's God has said He will bring Israel back unto Himself. So that settles the whole matter. .....or should do so anyway.
