I read them and am very familiar with them and still ask where is the scripture that says, "There is a new covenant, and it means that the Jews are no longer God's Chosen People. Christians are"?

I have given you the rest of Rom. 11 that says something different.

Romans 11 does not say a thing that counters the other words, otherwise, the Bible would be inconsistent.

Therefore, Romans 11 is valid in the context of the elect choosing God and following Him correctly.

All the others are refusing to follow Him, hating Him and His Son.

Does God have two chosen people or one?

"And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd." (John 10:16)

"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit." (Eph. 2:19-22)

Jews are God's chosen people only insofar as they express true faith in Messiah Jesus. Then they are individually regrafted into the root of faith (Rom. 11:23).

To further illustrate the circumstance, Jews who accepted Christ have fulfilled their destiny. That was true even of the Apostles. The Original Covenant held for them, they recognized the Truth in their promised King, the Son of God, and all was well with them. You see, they knew they were also a part of the New Covenant, which allowed Gentiles. The Jewish Apostles, and all other Jews who converted, are both part of the elect and are saved in all expected ways.

Gentiles can also accept Christ, whereas they were not a part of God's people before Christ.

So, both Jews and Gentiles can be a part of the New Covenant, with those same Jews being part of the Old one that required them to follow God and ultimately, the soon to come King, Jesus Christ.

Jews, at least those who may be alive at that time, if not resurrected ones, will again have a chance to follow God with Christ as their leader during a 1,000 year reign at the supposed "end of time".

So, the Old Covenant continues to apply to Jews, they just need to accept Jesus Christ and be a part of the New Covenant to be following God and make it to Heaven.

Gal. 3:26-29

Sons of God

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
