Guest alias Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Do you not understand that Jews have rejected Christ as the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy and they are therefore just as antichrist, and Christ even went so far as to say that the followers of Judaism were of the devil. The Jews always believed the messianic prophecies but they denied his first coming and rejected the New Covenant which is where God's plan was leading. They therefore ceased to follow God. A remnant might squeek in by the skin of their... teeth, but the majority of them are in the same boat as Muslims or any other unbelievers. What about all the Jews who have died since Christ but had not received Him. No, there is no "other way" to be saved. Believing prophecy won't save you. Only humbling yourself and asking Christ into your heart and life can save you. Nice try guys but only Christians are saved, those who receive Christ.

Sure enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not, and Levi does not know, and we do not know what is the salvation of those who died before the lamb of God came to this earth to save us. The great figures of biblical history all died before the lamb of God came to this world, so who knows where they are. I can't answer this perfectly but OT saints were saved on the basis of faith same as we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Levi Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 Wasn't there a resurrection of the OT saints after Christ's death? So they would now be in heaven with Christ. Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, Matthew 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Guest alias Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 hi, Great thanks for drawing that to my attention re: great figures from the bible (where are they now) who died before Christ Jesus came back. If I were rash I would say that they are saved because in my heart I know they are saved and have gone to be with the God of Israel. But I didn't know any scriptures off the top of my head, and I do not make it a policy of saying something of which I am unsure about. Sincerely, alias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
