You get so hung up on a point that you become blind. For the 100th time NO ONE IS SAYING THERE IS SALVATION IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN JESUS. All I am saying is that you boast about your position with God and spend allot of time focused on the sins of Israel instead of something beneficial. I have not seen your words produce fruit here you seem alienated by most and will not soften your heart. How about Paul saying he lived as one under the law (though he was not under the law) that some might be saved. How do you think he would feel about you calling me a heretic and a liar for trying to be with these people to bring the GOOD NEWS? Would you accuse Paul when you saw him circumcise Timothy, of believing there was salvation other than Jesus? You appear to have become very conceited and think you can boast over the root of the tree and that is not the meek and gentle spirit God is looking for.
When John spoke to them about Abraham it was a warning not a pronouncement as you see it. In Revelation the Lord says to Laodecia that He is about to spit them out. He warns sternly and it is wise to obey but we can not say what He will do for He is God and we are not.
What do you think will happen to a Christian that does not produce good fruit?

<<The mysteries of the Kingdom of God are hidden to the "veiled hearts" because they reject the Son of Light/>>

For the sake of the Gentiles they are veiled (in the same verse), and you dwell on it as though it was your joy to see them stumble. Your talk forces them away from the Son of Light and will be to your shame. You carefully search for scriptures to support your need to condemn to exalt yourself at the cost of the big picture. I see that you will not soften your heart and may God help you.
