"Well they do have an agenda, it is to glorify God. These bible thumping fundie Christians, that loopy faith, just have this crazy idea, ya know, that the Jewish line is permanently marked with God's favor, even though they don't deserve it."

What do you mean by "Jewish line?" Biological descendancy from Abraham doesn't count. "[D]o not suppose that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for a father,' for I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham."

Do you think that those who call themselves Jews today are the inheritors of the covenant promise?

You DON'T? What Bible are you reading?

Jeremiah 33:19-26:
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 20 “Thus says the Lord: 'If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, 21 then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who minister to Me.'” 23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 24 “Have you not considered what these people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families which the Lord has chosen, He has also cast them off’? Thus they have despised My people, as if they should no more be a nation before them. 25 “Thus says the Lord: ‘If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth, 26 then I will cast away the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will cause their captives to return, and will have mercy on them.’"

In other words, BEWARE of what you say about Jews not being the descendants of Abraham.

Since you may not know there was anything to the left of that page that says, "New Testament" on it and didn't know that there WAS a book of Jeremiah, maybe you've read this one:

Romans 3:2:
"1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God."

Romans 11:28b-29:
"...but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. "
