I believe that Israel has its own destiny aside from that of Christians.

Would that be a destiny where they are saved apart from Christ?

If Israel is not saved, it's not a destiny worth having.

If Israel is saved in Christ, they are Christians.

If you hold that Israel is saved apart from Christ, what does that do for the doctrines of man's fallen state and Christ's atonement?

I guess that sentence could be interpreted in a way I didn't mean. No, of course, all pagans, atheists and anyone that denies the saviour as Christ is damned.

I guess I meant God still has a plan for the people of Judah. That many will come to accept Christ as the Messiah. I just don't believe he has shaken them from his feet and has given their status as his chosen people to another people.
