No, sir.
#12 is "The Messiah will come."
Christians believe that the Messiah has come.

You're a smart guy. You don't need instruction in how verb tense changes the meaning of a statement.

You're starting to quack.

What do you call a dyslexic agnostic with insomnia?

Someone who stays awake all night long and wonders if there really is a Dog.


Sorry couldn't help myself.

Please explain.

Jews believe that Christ will be a world liberating powerful Warrior Messiah ...as he will be in the final Second Coming.
...not the meek humble teacher over 2,000 years ago.....who did not liberate the Jews from the Romans and was put to death.
Jesus is however considered a Great Prophet by the Jews.....as He is by most non-Christian religions....including Moslems

The Jews are His chosen people and believe in Him....they just have a mistaken identification on His first arrival.
His Salvation is for all who believe in Him.

Will Tommy get an answer to his question or not?

No, he won't. The jesuscritters duck and dodge when faced with the question of whether non-believers will be thrown wholesale into hell.

My guess is that their preachertypes have told them to downplay this elitist aspect of their superstition, lest the belief system be revealed for the sickness that it is.

Careful Tommy,

You might get a PM telling you not insult the nice Christian people.

But according to the Jews, and this is the crux of the issue, he hasn't come at all yet.

So will they be spared hell despite denying Jesus as God's son?

Any Christian prepared to answer just "YES" or "NO"?

YES . The Jews are God's Chosen People...and have the Faith.

I'll keep a watch for lightening bolts too but I sadly can't anticipate neither well enough for proper evasion

I will apologize to any ducks I may have offended, though.
