Yes she does, and she has said so . And she implied as much in her recent appearance on the Donny Deutch show. And she is on sound scriptural ground. Moreover, Ms Coulter has stated repeatedly that she believes the Bible literally and she also knows full well that the Gospel of John says the following plainly and unambiguously:
"He who has the Son (Jesus )has life. He who has not the Son has NOT life but the wrath of God abideth upon him." John 3:36
(see also John 14:6 and Acts 4:12 if there is any doubt in your mind that the Bible allows for any other possible way of salvation for Jews or other non-Christians)
Unfortunately Cal Thomas, Hugh Hewitt, Star Parker, Glen Beck, Richard Land, and many other timid and politically sensitive Christians also KNOW and believe these passages in the Gospel of John; but unlike Ms Coulter, they have so far been too timid and politically sensitive to admit it-much less fearlessly declare it.
So what kind of "friends" are afraid to tell their conservative Jewish friends what they, as "born again Christians" REALLY believe about the ultimate damnation of ALL non-Christians (including their politically conservative Jewish "friends" (read useful political allies) who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour??
Such a craven lack of candor speaks volumes about their honesty and integrity.
Well then just try getting a straight forward answer from ANY of these other aforementioned word parsing equivocaters like Hugh Hewitt, Glen Beck, Star Parker, Richard Land, or Cal Thomas to this simple question: "Will Jews go to heaven when they die if they deny the deity of Jesus Christ and he is indeed the Messiah?"
Don't hold your breath waiting for a clear straight forward yes or no answer. Because what you will get get will be the same kind of evasive, double talk reminiscent of the slick word parsing Bill Clinton speaking to Kenneth Starr.
Its ironic and sad. I used to think of Christian conservatives as being straight forward, candid, plain spoken, "let the chips fall where they may" type folks who are loathe to sugar coat the truth for anyone or any political cause. Well, not any more apparently.
Shame on the whole feckless lot of them. Since when did electing conservative political candidates trump the great commission of Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel to the whole world-to the JEW FIRST then to the gentile? I guess when it comes to preserving "conservative" interfaith political alliances, The Lord understands a little perfidy: politics ain't bean bag.
