@Escoffier @sickburnbro > and ole' John has declared that Jews do not require Jesus to be saved.

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.
