"Every year on Yom Kippur Jews all over the world gather in synagogues and shuls to pray fervently for redemption—redemption promised by God in the very same scriptures that Christians use to support their own history and their own promised redemption.To suggest that Jews cannot be redeemed without Jesus is not only theologically unsound; it removes the very bedrock of the Christian religion."
Can you explain what you meant? Jews and Christians have different views of redemption, Jews based on the Torah (written and oral) and Christians based on the Bible ("old" and "new"). Since Jews don't accept the "new" and Christians don't accept the oral Torah, there is a chasm in belief.
