Very interesting point. What is implied in your post, which is something many would agree with, is that those who turned their back on God for the purpose for which they were "chosen," are therefore...no longer "the chosen."

In early Christianity, some segment of the Jews converted to Christianity, and combined with the early Gentile converts to become the original Church. An argument could be made that it is only those Jews who retained their status as members of the "chosen people", and were later assimulated into one Church

It is indeed an interesting and stimulating argument.
