Yes, dear. You really need to re-read the Book, preferably from front to back this time, with both the words and the wording read in forward order. Also, not a good idea to be standing in a pentagram, etc., in the presence of dark clouds. The Jews are God's chosen people, as annoying and stiff-necked as they may be. And, there is specific law and provision for their ascension. See; Atonement. :-) .

bc.edu 5. The Bible both connects and separates Jews and Christians. Some Jews and Christians today, in the process of studying the Bible together, are discovering new ways of reading that provide a deeper appreciation of both traditions. While the two communities draw from the same biblical texts of ancient Israel, they have developed different traditions of interpretation. Christians view these texts through the lens of the New Testament, while Jews understand these scriptures through the traditions of rabbinic commentary. Referring to the first part of the Christian Bible as the "Old Testament" can wrongly suggest that these texts are obsolete. Alternative expressions – "Hebrew Bible," "First Testament," or "Shared Testament" - although also problematic, may better express the church’s renewed appreciation of the ongoing power of these scriptures for both Jews and Christians. 6. Affirming God’s enduring covenant with the Jewish people has consequences for Christian understandings of salvation. Christians meet God's saving power in the person of Jesus Christ and believe that this power is available to all people in him. Christians have therefore taught for centuries that salvation is available only through Jesus Christ. With their recent realization that God’s covenant with the Jewish people is eternal, Christians can now recognize in the Jewish tradition the redemptive power of God at work. If Jews, who do not share our faith in Christ, are in a saving covenant with God, then Christians need new ways of understanding the universal significance of Christ. **************************** John :-) .
