Christians and Jews are on the same team? That is not theology. That is sentimental hallucination.
Scripture could not be clearer. Jesus told the Jews of His day, “If you knew My Father, you would know Me.” He told them they neither knew Him nor His Father. John 8 says those who reject the Son do not have God. First John 2 says, “No one who denies the Son has the Father.” That's a line in the sand, drawn by the anthropomorphic toe of God.
Jesus Himself said to the Jewish leaders, “You are of your father the devil.” That was not a compliment and it was not ecumenism. He did not say they worshiped the same God with a slightly outdated covenant. He said their rejection of Him proved they did not know the God they claimed to honor.
And Jesus made the point even sharper when He said, “If you believed Moses, you would believe Me.” He anchored His entire identity in the writings of Moses. He did not say Judaism without Christ is a sincere parallel faith. He said unbelieving Jews do not even believe their own Scriptures. According to Jesus, rejecting Him is proof that someone does not truly believe the Torah they claim to defend. Moses points to Christ. If you refuse Christ, you are refusing Moses.
Jesus said, “He who is not for Me is against Me.” There is no neutral lane. No shared foundation. No parallel covenant. No separate-but-equal faith. If you are not for Christ, you are against Christ. If you reject the Son, you oppose the Father. That is the standard Jesus gave, and He did not carve out exceptions for American politics.
The New Testament does not teach two parallel faiths waving at each other across history. It teaches one God, one covenant, one Mediator, one Name under heaven by which we must be saved. If you deny the Son, you do not have the Father. If you reject Christ, you reject God. Judaism without Christ is not incomplete Christianity. It is defiant unbelief.
Stop pretending we are on the same team. The team is Christ or nothing.
