They rejected it and because they rejected it. It was given to the gentiles. What would happen if the Jews accepted it? Just wondering

those who were the apostles and the first disciples in the kingdom of God were jews, but God always had the intention of saving the gentiles too. Jesus is the savior of the "world". but you are right in saying that nearly all the jews in history (after Christ) don't believe. the Bible teaches that the hearts of the jews will be hard towards Jesus until the full number of gentiles has been saved. so to answer...God still would have given salvation to non-jews.

You are speaking about the Christian viewpoint. Sectarian viewpoints are never correct. Salvetion has nothing to do with Christianity. In fact hardly anyone has benifited by christianity as far as salvation is concerned.
In fact at all times there was knowledge about spirituality and salvation. At the time of Jesus's birth there were so many schools and esoteric knowledge across the world. India Egypt, China all these places had so much knowledge about the subject. If Jesus was born in India or China nobody would have known him at all. He would have been one among so many.
In fact Jesus had come to very difficult people. Jews don't believe that gods will ever come down as man. Their concept of god is that of an angry god who would speak through prophets. These prophets were not the kind of people who could set up a system. They mostly spoke about what is wrong with the society. They warn people about the wrath of god. So when Jesus comes if he says he is the son of the god it is equivallent to blasphemy. Where in India they believe that god incarnates among them. There are so many incarnations of god in India. If Jesus had said he is the son of god to Indians they would have told him they will go and meet his father only.
As per the mystiques salvation is not something that can be given. You have to earn it yourself. Jesus or any other master can show you the way. Because they have already struggled and got it and they know the pitfals of the way.So they can guide you as an experienced person provided you ask for their help.

That was the first schism in faith after the resurrection of Jesus. Some of the apostles thought that the Messiah was only for the Jews, while eventually Paul said it was for everyone, which of course non-Jewish people believe is true. It wasn't because the Jews rejected it so it went to the next best group--Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for YOU and everyone, not just one group of people.

The gentiles would've eventually received the gospel. Read about Paul in the bible. around Romans 2:9

I in actuality agree, aside from the final 2. Jerusalem and the Temple weren't destroyed in 70AD with the help of possibility. Jesus anticipated it would happen. And the only reason it mandatory to happen became simply by fact the Jews does no longer settle for Christ as their Messiah, and that they persisted to persecute the greater youthful Christian church. it would be ridiculous for God to offer us a sparkling covenant, and not comprise each and every person in it, which includes the Jews. except the Jews settle for Jesus Christ as their Messiah, issues will proceed to flow badly for them. in this form the Jews are particularly cursing themselves, and good Christians ought to be working to charitably instruct them the errors of their strategies. it is how Christians can appropriate bless the Jews ... no longer by helping brutal occupations, or unrestricted warfare against the two Christians and Muslims.

Some did and they still can today. But Jesus did say to preach the gospel to all. Paul says Jew and Gentile are both reconcilable to God through Christ, so it wouldn't have made much difference.

Salvation is a fiction, so has come to no one.

who's book did you read that out of?? Salvation is personal. It is achieved individually through your life...not because of anyone "says" or some book, or because someone died 2000+ year ago.
so live impeccably!

Salvation is not necessary to be at peace with the gods and goddesses.
