Well.. it’s in the BIBLE! DUH!
That all changed after something happened but I recall what... huh...
51% of American Evangelicals. Despite scripture’s indication that those who are baptized believers are now God’s chosen from every tribe, tongue and nation - American Evangelicals persist in thinking blood heritage and a piece of real estate in the middle east are significant indicators of God’s favor.
That view is consistant with scripture, so why the “shock”?
Another Survey trying to get desired results.
Reads like a push poll.
That’s what I was always taught in Sunday School.
And the other 49% don’t believe the Bible, and are therefore, not Christians.
Well…they are.
It says so in the good book
If they were God’s chosen people they’d be Christian.
Romans 11:15-23 God cast off the Jews from being His chosen people and grafted in the Gentiles.
God’s Chosen People are those who follow Him.
Jews wrote the Bible so yes they made it so they were God’s chosen people.
What does it mean that the Jews are God’s chosen people?

They always will be God’s chosen people, although they still need to be saved. All other believers are adopted in.
Nothing beats a good marketing campaign . . . and gullible consumers.
They are - the key is in who is a Jew. Paul answers this question - all Christians are grafted in the Jewish tree - Jews who reject Jesus will be cut off, but can be restored to their natural place if they accept Jesus.
I’m surprised that 10% of Evangelicals would say that the Jews were never God’s chosen people. Does that mean that 10% of Evangelicals have never read the Bible?
It’s true: God chose to provide the Messiah through Israel’s lineage. Jews are God’s chosen people, and because of that, all those who follow the Jewish Messiah may enjoy salvation.
The question becomes “chosen for what?” I certainly believe the Jews were chosen to communicate God’s word, bring forth the Christ and demonstrate the impossibility of man earning his own salvation.
If you were a Jew in Jerusalem in 70 A D, you probably would not feel you were “chosen.” But, they were chosen for that.
