Everyone knows when jews rejected Christ they embraced Satan.
This is a completely ignorant statement and a blatant disregard for Scriptural teachings. Blame the Pharisees and the Sadducees. But to blame the whole Jewish race (God's Chosen people) is ignorant.
The first church consisted of Jews that came to accept Christ as the way to redemption and salvation, and the way to the Father. Think of Simon Peter (Peter in Hebrew meaning rock) was the "rock" of the first church. Saul, later Paul (a Jew from Tarsus) was a prominent church planter and teacher/apostle of the Gospel of Christ. He continually first sought out his brethren (to bring them to the Light) before moving onto the nations.
I am more than happy to debate and discuss this matter with you further whenever you see fit.
God be with you and may He free you from the shackles that blind you.
If they embraced Christ they would stop being jews. Or we could say being jewish would be their ethnic background only like being a Slav or Nord.
At least Muslims accept Christ as one of the Prophets in their otherwise wrong ways.
Being "chosen people" will not help them when Christ returns and only saves people of Christian faith. Jews will get one last chance to renounce Satan at that moment and stop being Jews.
It also does not help them now when they die. They still go to Hell as they can only be saved by belief in Christ.
1 Corinthians 9:20 "To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law".
Paul had written in the previous verse that he had made himself a slave to all people in the hopes of winning more of them. By "winning," he meant winning them to faith in Christ. Now he begins to describe in what sense he voluntarily puts himself under the authority of others.As a preacher of Christ, Paul would become as a Jew to the Jews, and as one under the law of Moses to those under Jewish religious law. Paul was Jewish and had lived much of his life as a "Hebrew of Hebrews" under the law (Philippians 3:5). After being converted to faith in Christ, he had been freed from obligation to the law (Romans 10:4) and had preached that the same was true for all who received God's gift of grace in Christ. In doing so, he had become the target of persecution and attempted murder by the Jewish religious leaders.That leads one to wonder what Paul meant that he became as a Jew and one under the law in order to win others to Christ. It does not mean Paul pretended it was necessary to follow the law to be saved. Nor does it mean he "acted more Jewish" when with Jewish people.Rather, Paul continued to participate in the worship of God in Jewish synagogues while preaching Christ there (Acts 17:2–3). He continued to voluntarily submit to some Jewish customs and traditions, including the fulfillment of a Nazarite vow (Acts 21:23–26), and even receiving punishment from the Jewish leaders for preaching Christ (2 Corinthians 11:24). He did this without ever altering the gospel message that faith in Christ is the only way to be right with God.Paul could have opted out of any participation with the Jewish religious system. He was free from all of it. Instead, he chose to remain involved, without ever compromising the message of Jesus, in hopes of winning some Jewish law followers to faith in Christ. In order to put as few barriers as possible between others and Christ, Paul was willing to sacrifice his own "rights" and freedoms.
You can still be a Jew in cultural heritage, but you cannot adhere to Jewish religious customs to be saved. Only Christ saves.
There are points we certainly agree upon. However, it is important to reflect upon what God wrote through in Paul in Titus 3:9-11 "Stay away from those who have foolish arguments, who talk about useless family histories, who make trouble and fight about what the law of Moses teaches. Those things are worth nothing and will not help anyone. If someone causes arguments, then give him a warning. If he continues to cause arguments, warn him again. If he still continues causing arguments, then do not be around him. You know that such a person is evil and sinful. His sins prove that he is wrong".
