Are Jews still God's Chosen People ?
Intermarriage or not, such people are Jews. The Nazi Collaborators documentary is an enlightening experience. I suggest you see it. The Nazis certainly didn't differentiate.Abrahams people were called Israel.
Jews are not all of Israel. Many Jews were never in Abrahams lineage. Many modern Jews are converts to Judaism and not real Hebrews.
Christ told the Jews in his day that if they were of Abraham, then they would do the works of Abraham.
Others Jews told Jesus that that had never been in bondage to any man.. Which was evidence that they were not Hebrews who were enslaved in Egypt and Babylon.
The Judeans disobeyed the command that forbade the Idumeans and Kenites from entering the congregation of he lord. These become powerful Scribes and Pharasees and perverted the Laws of Yahweh into Judaism..
1 Chr 2:55
55 And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.
(KJV)
Kenites are Cains seed. The offsrping of Vipers, the cursed lineage to whom it was forbidden to enter the congregation of the Lord.
Also Yahwehs chosen people are those that do his will.
His chosen are those that know his son, Yahushua HaMeshiach.

of course God sees the Jews as His chosen people... that is not what should be asked...Are Jews still God's Chosen People ?
And when the blinders come off.. then Paul's prophecy will also come to pass.. where Israel shall be saved.of course God sees the Jews as His chosen people... that is not what should be asked...
the question that SHOULD be asked, though, is who truly is the Chosen People of God, and who truly are the Jews?
are the Chosen people of God born from the physical nation who wish to acquire a nation on this earth, still waiting for a Savior dressed in gold to come while they continue to mock Christ and spiritually hang Him on the Cross?... or are the Chosen People of God born from the Spirit, whose nation is the Kingdom of God and not of man, who are found in Christ, turn to Christ, and live a life according to Jesus and believing in Jesus Christ alone for salvation?
the fact of the matter is, Paul EXPLICITLY states in Romans 9:7-8
"7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed."
he again expounded on this again in Galatians 3:29
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
ONLY those who are found in Christ is truly part of Israel... it doesn't matter if you're an Ethnic Jew, an Arab, a Persian, a Russian, or an American... if you are not a part of Jesus Christ, you are neither Abraham's seed, nor heirs according to the promise
an unsaved Jew is like any other person who is not saved: they need the Gospel just as much as anyone else, and it is our duty by God to preach the Gospel unto them... not puff them up and put them on a pedestal simply because of their race
And when the blinders come off.. then Paul's prophecy will also come to pass.. where Israel shall be saved.
me too...Israel will be saved... But not the way John Hagee, Perry Stone, the writers if the Left Behind series, Jack Van Impe, Hal Lindsay, or any other Dispensationalist/Christian Zionist see it happening.
God sees Israel and the church as one... Not two separate identities.
Nonetheless, they are more important of the sheep (Zech. 13:7, Matt. 18:10-14) of the flock (Matt. 26:31).Israel will be saved...

Then who are the two twigs he is bringing together. I wouldn't say that God is showing favoritism towards Israel, but rather in assigning the Jews to be in charge of the oracles of God comes responsibility.if that be the case, then God is sinning (James 2:1-13) for He is showing favoritism
we are made one in Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22), and God sees no difference in anyone no matter they be Jew or Gentile (Galatians 3:27-28, Galatians 6:15-16, Colossians 3:11, Romans 10:9-13)
dispensationalism is a joke, pure and simple.

To be a part of this commonwealth of Israel also comes responsibilities. Are the people of the commonwealth to join forces with Israel in support and in purpose.
Favoritism would be unmerited. If that were true, then any pagan nation can be favored.
The whole bible story handed down, is the story of one family tree branch's worth of faith in God. With faith comes blessings and responsibilities. You read in the stories of the tribe Noah, Abraham, etc..how the faith was kept, good and bad, and why God chose this family tree to plant His seed. They kept the oracles of God.
the two twigs would be Jew and Gentile... and YES, He WOULD show the same favor to all. He lets all come to Salvation through Jesus Christ granted they repent, and when they do repent, they all have the same responsibilities as any other Child of God... and no im not saying universal salvationThen who are the two twigs he is bringing together.

I know... I recognise your commonwealth by your words and actions.we are not in the commonwealth of israel, I live in Tex, I am not of the commonwealth of Virginia, or Mass.
Lookie here, are jews an better off?
having the oracles did not help 3;1, and that is because the Abrahamic promise TO ALL NATIONS did not fail, rom 9, but the jews tried to come in by law and judaism.
3;9What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin,
i get what you are saying. .. for the most part I agree.,.. Israel as a nation on the other hand is a spot on earth that was promised to the bloodline of Abraham. This spot of earth will be the spot where the final battle will be fought. Jerusalem especially will be the focal point, and the temple mount to be exact. The parties involved will be those who have vested interest.the two twigs would be Jew and Gentile... and YES, He WOULD show the same favor to all.

romans 3 is a good representation of how God sees all the same, because none are good enough for heaven, and all have fallen. the Jews are not held up any higher, and the gentiles are not held up any higher
the root has never been nor ever will be the physical, national Israel.
the root will ALWAYS be Jesus Christ.
No, that is unconditional love and promise keeping. Deut. 7:6-8, James 1:17, Exodus 32:13if that be the case, then God is sinning (James 2:1-13) for He is showing favoritism

I see plenty of punishment happening to the Jews, but I don't see it happening to the church.This is totally contrary to scripture. Abraham levels all that boasting. Rom 3:27.
In Adam, were there some more dead than others? No...so In christ, none are more alive than others, in the new man, read Col 2:11.![]()
