Has the Pope been contributing to that "invincibility"?

The True God they once worshiped, they have now rejected by rejecting His Son to this day.
Many Jews converted to Christianity, at the pains of torture and martyrdom, at the time of Christ. Was that all for naught?
No of course not. Why does everything (for some people) have to be an all or nothing proposition?
Make no mistake, the Jews who remain in their religion, and reject Christ, are in a very dangerous position. Again, we can only hope (and pray for them) that they do so out of invincible ignorance. I said that before. I don't know why you thought it reasonable to ask me that question above.
As for the traditional (note the lower-case "t") Good Friday prayer, that was never a dogmatic confession, as we constantly tell many Protestant detractors who bring that up.
Are you kidding? That is what the entire Gospel is about! All or nothing!
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. Matthew 12:30
Has the Pope been contributing to that "invincibility"?
When I said that I was obviously refering to when you took my words of “The God they worship hasn’t changed” into an imagined (imagined on your part) assertion on my part that the martyred Jews suffered martyrdom “for naught”.
It’s “funny” how, yet again, even now, you are interpreting my words to you in the most extreme, unorthodox way they could possibly be interpreted. You are proving my assertion of an unreasonable “all or nothing” mentality. Again.
Rather common around here. I guess it passes for “charity” in some minds.
In your mind, maybe. I don't know for certain since I can't read minds.
EENS is dogma. Look it up.
Not that it makes any difference but he was not the Pope when he told the truth about the majority of journalists.
The Pope replace Peter not Judas. 2000+ years and still going is pretty good decision making. I'll accept him over Russ Limbaugh and the like.
Neither can I. Can you read this, however?
Pope Francis and the Old Covenant
I'd be interest in your comments, if you do read it.
Where did I say “EENS” isn’t dogma?
I’m sorry if quoting Matthew offends you.
“For you are a people sacred to the LORD, your God; he has chosen you from all the nations on the face of the earth to be a people peculiarly his own” ~ Deuteronomy 7:6
The Word of the Lord
Whose Rush Limbaugh? Is he a Catholic?
I may comment more fully later, but after reading your link for one time, I think my comments on this thread are sufficient.
I will comment more on it if, after reading it again I believe that my initial comments here do not suffice. I promise.
No. He was just the former Provincial Superior of the Society of Jesus in Argentina and later, the Archbishop of Buenos Aries . Perhaps the former post was where he picked up such language?
The Pope is Catholic. I don't know what Rush is. He probably thinks Jesus was a socialist and that's some kind of sin to Rush.
While you re-read the article, what are your thoughts on EENS?
If you don’t what he is, why did you bring him up? I never mentioned him.
So you don’t believe the Catholic dogma of EENS, either? I’m not surprised.
