How can the elect of God, God's chosen people, reject the truth of the message of Christ? Not all of the Jews are "elected". Paul states this in several places.
Rom 9:6-7 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but: "THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."
The Jews have rejected Gods messages-at least those Jews who do not recognize Christ as the Messiah. To think the Jews are somehow elected by God and carries a special place in His heart is despensationalism. This was never the view of the church for 1900 years. God's plan was always to call people out by faith.

So would it be correct in Calvinism to say that some Jews are God's chosen people and some Jews are not God's chosen people? Or that no Jews are God's chosen people?
