Guys, he was making a non-thread-related comment to me about my tagline and implying the Biblical Truth that, even though they were God's Chosen and remained so, they had proved His point that they could not follow the Commandments, which condemned them to Eternity in Hell unless there was a way to redeem themselves. When Jesus addressed the Jews on this matter, it is important to understand that He had also let them know that, while His coming had opened the doors of Heaven to all people that accepted Christ as Savior, the Jews would be treated no differently - they also had to accept Christ to be saved.

I was not arguing the veracity of his point, one way or another. Just pointing out that it was completely off topic, and should have been a private mail to you.

I know that now, since he clarified. His statement had multiple implications, depending on interpretation, and it was not clear which he meant. He could have just as well meant that the statement somehow didn't apply to anyone other than Jews, since Jesus was speaking to only Jews, and that therefore there were somehow multiple paths (or no paths) for non-Jews to obtain salvation. He clarified and everything's clear now. No problems. Sorry I misunderstood.
