re: The "Jews are God's Chosen People" is an old testament thing, right?

Look it up.

Thankfully, this is no longer the case.


Ah yes those who founded and actually built this country. You must be ecstatic they're gone while you enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Jesus was a Jew so God chose the Jews to be his sponsor when he took human form.
But as a Jew Jesus said “who is my brother? The one who does the will of the father.” Etc etc..
So, Jesus made it abundantly clear many times that Race,tribe means nothing to God anymore. No one gets a pass because they are Jewish or Christian for that matter.
But all will be judged according to their actions.

Nope. The Book of Revelation is about Jesus redeeming the Jewish people who will ultimately believe He was and is Messiah.

The correct answer IMO is "yes and no."

The OP quoted Romans, but he didn't include this part: "Romans 11:17-32 NLT
So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God's special olive tree. But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root."

God still has a special relationship with Israel. He still made a promise to return Jews to the Holy Land and sustain them there.

So yes, we are a part of the olive tree now too. But Paul still differentiates the biological children from the step children, so to speak.

What's that got to do with Dispensationalism?
You likely have no clue what you're talking about.

The Jews are God's chosen people because they wrote the Bible.


IIRC, the bible was put together by the Catholic Church in 396 when Roman Emperor Constantine told the different churches (Alexandria, Rome, Antioch, Jerusalem, Constantinople, etc.) that started from the disciples to get y'all shite together. So they had an ecumenical council and via the Holy Spirit selected the Christian writings to become the bible. There were many Christian writings at the time that did not make it into the bible and thousands of years later the Protestants further culled the bible of the "apocryphial" books. So now we have the Catholic bible with the apocrypha (Catholics call them deuterocanonical) and the Protestant bible without the apocrypha.

Reread it then. Maybe you'll understand it better the next go round.

Some Christians are very conflicted about the new and old testaments.

Israel the nation is a human construct, I seriously doubt God cares for Government one bit.

It turns out God was a Jew until the Jews killed him.

Yes, but the Jews murdered their messiah and they don’t believe in the New Testament belief that Jesus was the messiah. Being chosen doesn’t mean they are saved!

Jews are the chosen of God to carry the law, teach the world the law, be the oracles of God, and bring forth the Christ for the salvation of the world. They were rejected during the time of the gentiles, but will be restored at some point according to Revelation.
