I am a Messianic Jew. I live, breath my religion which is Judaism, everything - my culture its customs and its courtesies. So don’t be presumptuous that I do not understand my religion nor the suffering my people have gone through at the hands of tyrants from the Old Testament through today. My family has lived and breathed the latest horror of the Holocaust and have had relatives die there as well as survive. Do not tell me I don’t understand mankind. I have seen and read what it has done to us.

I’m not suggesting anything other than the God of the Bible will not excuse people simply because they never heard of Jesus Christ, just as He didn’t excuse the ancients who did not have the law and the prophets that ancient Israel was blessed to have.

God saves people today precisely the same way He saved people in the Old Testament. Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6, Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6). It wasn’t his faith that saved him, it was the object of his faith. Abraham looked forward to a coming Savior, we look back on that same Savior.
