Brian,
Question? (love your teachings :), Are you saying that the Jewish people without the recognition of Yahshua as Messiah, but still looking forward to the day of the Messiah, are NOW part of the "Body of Christ."
? Not to put you on the hot seat, let me throw out my beliefs.

The Jewish people were blinded for the sake of the Gospel. So for the past 2000 years they have been blind, directly from the hand of Yah. Now did all those Jews die and go to hell? Oh and then how about those as shown in Schindler's list, lined up for the ovens, did they die and go to hell when we know any Jew who knows he is dying as his last word says the Shema. I would say most of the Jews slaughtered for 2000 years died crying out to the God of Israel. Did they go to hell because of their blindness?

I don't think so. I believe every Jew today who seeks YHVH in their personal life is in good standing when they ask forgiveness for their sins BECAUSE OF THE "IT IS FINISHED" work of Yahshua, whether they know His name or not.

I could go on and on but I BET I just stirred up a hornet's nest, which I really hate, so everybody be kind when you tell me I am wrong :)

Blessings,
Linda
