On the subject of dispensationalism i only have one question: is there even one example of the word Judaizers being a good thing?

@sickburnbro A guy was trying to defend it to me and I explained that John Hagee was basically the Pope of dispensationalism and ole' John has declared that Jews do not require Jesus to be saved. He couldn't believe it but looked it up and lo and behold.

@James_Dixon @Escoffier @sickburnbro the temple veil tearing in two at the moment of Jesus' death is also pretty clear

Without Christ's sacrifice no one could be saved. If John believes otherwise he's not even remotely a Christian.
That said, an argument could be made that a jew who actually upheld the original covenant would still be saved by Christ's sacrifice, even if he didn't accept Christ as the Messiah. There's only one problem: There is no longer a Temple at which to make the required sacrifices. Whoops.
Why does Hagee think God allowed the Temple to be destroyed? He probably has no idea. The answer is that he did so to make it clear that the original covenant was no longer available as an option.

The traditional meaning of that event is that with Christ's death the payment for our sins was made and that God could once again dwell with man.
The veil was what separated the inner temple where God dwelt from the portion accessible to everyone. Only the priests who had been ritually purified of their sins could enter past the veil.
Once Christ paid the price of our sins for us, we all became acceptable in the eyes of God and the veil was unnecessary.
