Sorry, don't mean to have a theological debate here. Much truth in what you say given the tension between Romans and John 3:16. Some even think other Christians are going to hell. They do remember what Isiah, Jeremiah, the minor Prophets and Revelation say about the Remnant. Since they can't tell who will or will not eventually be "saved", they have to respect them as human beings. No one I know is blithely sitting around waiting for everyone else to die and go to hell. Only the most annoying go around trying to convert everyone.

Even the most hardcore know that the Jews are still waiting for the Messiah. They know that it isn't important that you consider this His first or second visit, only that you accept Him when He comes.

Now if you're from my tradition, Romans 11 opens up a lot of interesting possiblilities, particularly if you know that God, while keeping His promises, still gets to do what He pleases. Over the centuries it's the people who try to put God in a box and wrap Him up with a bow that usually get the bigest surprises.

Sorry for the sermonette. I know this isn't the place for it.
