It isn't about "God backing out," it's about the various tribes of Israel--including but not limited to the Jews--not holding up their end of the bargain.

He NEVER said that He would save them unconditionally, never. Three-fourths of the Old Testament is the record of a people who worshipped idols of wood and stone, killed the prophets, committed adultery, murders and all manner of wickedness, and in short did EVERYTHING but keep their covenant.

For that, they were destroyed as a people.

Then, the Lord set Himself ONE MORE TIME to save them, and the Messiah came. Many, many of the Jews of that day, and many of the Lord's "other sheep" scattered throughout the earth (whose records don't appear in the Bible) accepted Him.

Many others did not.

They chose, and if they chose wrongly, they were rejected.

There is not one shred of evidence you can come up with that says that if you're born a Jew in this day and age, you're automatically "chosen," unless you want to ignore what the prophets of the Old Testament, and Messiah himself, said.

You have to reject the Bible.

This is a modern day false-teaching, and is but one more example of how most fundy Christians don't have a single clue about what the Bible really says.

Anyhow I'm not a fundy Christian. (Catholic which is the other reason I don't know everything the Bible says).
