is this the Evangelical Christian view on Jews and Israel?

Question

tell me if I have got this correct Christians are supposed to support the Jews and the state of Israel because they are the chosen people.

yet many Christians also believe that if you do not accept Jesus as your savior you will burn in hell for all eternity.

Even further to prevent the Jews from burning in hell Christians are encouraged to convert them to Christianity. This though will cause the Jews to be assimilated among the rest of the world and within a few generations their will be no more Jews aka chosen people.

To me this seems a little contradictory and strange. If I am wrong in my thinking please someone correct.

id : ok, what’s your point after a few generations those messianic Jews will assimilate with the 2 billion Christians and will be lost as a separate people. This also dose not answer why they chose to support Jews and Israel while striving for them to disappear.

Answer 1

Jesus was Jewish, if anyone could say weather he is or isn't the mesissah, it would be his people.
Silly Christians. You've got a good point there, I've never really thought about it before.

Answer 2

You're right. It is contradictory. And the Evangelical view is wrong, too.

The new Israel is the Christian Church, not the largely apostate nation of Israel, that was re-created in 1948.

Many Protestant groups somehow believe they are doing God's will by supporting Israel, whether Israel is right or wrong.

This is nonsense.

God kept every promise he ever made to the Jews when he conducted them into the promised land. God fulfilled all his promises to Abraham, when Christ personally founded the church.

What the Jews have reaped, ever since the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, is simply the result of their stubborness, and their unwillingness to accept God's Prophets, God's Son, and God's true Church.

Many Christian groups mistakenly believe they're going to be raptured away prior to the great tribulation of the end, and that only Israel will be left behind to stand up for God, and run the world.

This belief is mainly due to a faulty interpretation of the Bible and a disdain for the Catholic Church, which is the one church on earth which will certainly prevail, although not without difficulty, through all the expected end time events.

While the Jews are still the chosen people, the Jews have already accomplished what they were really chosen to do ... which was to bring Jesus Christ, his salvation, and his church, into the world.

Starting about 70 AD, with the sacking of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, national Israel and/or the Jews have had little or no significance in the whole scheme of things.

Since then, they have been unable to authentically practice their religion, which is based on temple sacrifice.

They have developed numerous religious traditions, and many faulty beliefs, with no central canon, and no agreement on core truths.

They hang their hopes on an obsolete Mosaic covenant which has already been fulfilled and set aside by Christ, while they should be looking to the Abrahamic covenant, of which the new covenant Christian church is the ultimate fulfillment.

If modern Israel hopes to ever solve all their problems, they're going to need the grace and power of Christ's church to do it. Not an obsolete covenant based on a system of laws that was never capable of saving anyone, in the first place.

For assurance of salvation, Jews need to accept Christ and be baptized.

The best way to be nice to Jews is to give them the love and respect we are called to give every human being, while also giving them the means and the opportunity they need, to finally come to Christ.

Anything less is bigotted and anti-semitic.

Answer 3

My gut reaction is basically alleviation and excitement that any team of folk help Israel. Israel gets an extremely undesirable press. No u . s . is suited, and this includes the Jewish state. yet on the comparable time, there are worldwide places in this worldwide that behave plenty greater badly and aggressively than Israel, with out receiving a fraction of the condemnation. So as quickly as I pay attention all people conversing nicely of Israel, i think i'm basically chuffed! nonetheless i do no longer relatively like it too plenty while some - no longer all - evangelical Christians then start up waxing lyrical approximately how/while/the place/why/if we Jews would be 'saved' etc etc etc...

Answer 4

The fact is that the MAJORITY of "messianics" are in no way jewish other than (in their words, from personal encounters) "they feel jewish through their belief".
And as has been pointed out, in a few generations any actual jews that were among them will be completely dissolved into the greater non-jewish community, just as when christianity first began.

oh, and messianism is not a form of judaism.

Answer 5

Jews can be Jews and still accept Jesus--they are called Messianic Jews.
