Correct. Rabid spiritual leaders exist in every tradition, nor do they define the tradition. Since Catholics believe in evangelizing Jews to the good news of Jesus as shown in the St. James Vicariate, they should not treat the tradition as impossible but should work to bring out the capacity for the tradition to accommodate the truth. What more would we ask the Jews on the OP point other than to agree with us that Gittin 57a is not theology and is a bad joke that committed the fault of being interpretable as blasphemy, and to make amends?
The majority of the perfidious will never convert. They killed Jesus, and have been blaspheming His name for two millennia. Anyone on their side will burn in hell with them.
Perhaps; Zechariah prophesies that less than one-third of Jews will survive and repent. And we should be at work to prepare that minority for when it becomes the majority by default.
Take it directly from Jesus himself. The number is 144K which is 0.009%.
Interesting eschatology. It doesn't say those are the only Messianic Jews of that time, but even if we agree on that number (which was disastrous for JWs in another context) we would still be out evangelizing promiscuously for those who would listen. I appreciate your being open to the prospect, God bless.
