Somebody ought to tell il Pomposo that the Jews are to be honored above all others as the Chosen People of the Old Testament. That is B.C. We are now living in A.D. While there is tremendous respect, deference, and all honor paid to the Jews in the New Testament, it is quite clear that their tenure as the Chosen People was to be considered over. (Except apparently, for Dennis Prager)
Christian are honor-bound to treat Jews with respect and deference. They are the people who were chosen to prepare the way for Christ, whom huge numbers of them accepted as their Saviour when they became the very first Christians. In fact, the very first Christian controversy was over whether or not one had to become a good Jew before one could become a Christian! (See Paul, Galatians 3:29)
Of course, those Jews who have not yet accepted Christ still consider themselves the Chosen People. Humor that belief. We can straighten them out in Heaven.
God told Abraham that his people would be chosen. Do you think God breaks his promises?
“it is quite clear that their tenure as the Chosen People was to be considered over. (Except apparently, for Dennis Prager)”
Except apparently, the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, and basically every significant Protestant denomniation, including every Bible Church I’ve ever set my foot in, you mean.
We Christians are grafted, as wild vines, into the family of Abraham.
That does not “unchoose” them. It means we ARE ALSO chosen.
Now, this does not mean Jews are going to heaven, mind you.
It does mean, however, that God keeps His unconditional promises, and that the Jews have a very special place in His plan, until the end of time.
The "conservative" dispensationalists and the liberal dual covenant theorists also believe that.
