I doubt that anyone would have a problem with that.
What people have a problem with is how it always seems to be people killing people, claiming to be following God.
This is the Biblical model.
Be sure to let me know if you ever find anyone who thought that before J. N. Darby.
What about the other 4/5s of the Messianic prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled? Do we throw those out? The first 1/5 were fulfilled literally, why would the other 4/5 not be also?

Does Jesus count as "anyone"?

I'm just a Christian, rather than a member of a cult.
Normal Christianity is based on the understanding that the church of Jesus is the spiritual Israel who has been given the blessings formerly offered to the fleshly Israel which is now defunct.
There is a group of international criminals illegally occupying Palestine who call themselves Israel but they have no connection with any sort of real Israel which God recognizes.

What if what you call ''God'' is in fact a kind of mathematical constant which set the laws and physics and thus we came to existence (anthropic principle)? He can't answer to us if that's the case.
I find your opinion interresting, though.

God answers to US?
The Creator answers to His creation? The Potter stands at attention and answers to the lump of clay?

Do you have children? Do you love them? Well, when they grow up they will ask you questions on why you did this or that when they were little. And if you don't have the right answers for them, you could lose them. And, having no answer is worse than a bad answer.
You have nothing good to say about Christianity.
Does that anger you Pharisee?
What part of your post was designed to anger me?
I am concerned about this fantasy you have that somehow you are "sent".
