To reject the clear, unambiguous Scripture where God leaves no doubt whatsoever that the Jews are His chosen people, the people through whom He brought forth our Savior, takes hatred.

No, it requires only reading ability.

If it wasn't for the Jews, we wouldn't have Jesus Christ.

He's only Jewish on His mother's side.

The Jews are God's business, and God's business alone and never did He give anyone the authority to judge the Jewish people based on bias and hatred.

I still haven't seen evidence of hatred.
Indifference, maybe. Certainly no predisposition to
embrace any group of non-Christians.

They are His chosen people.

So what are Christians then? We accept Christ while they
do not, yet they are chosen? I takes "hate" to ask this?

they're going to be brought back to God

AH! So they have departed from God? How could they be "brought back" otherwise?

Well then you need to get someone to read Scripture to you because if you can't see where God clearly states that the Jews are His chosen people then you don't have reading ability.

He's only Jewish on His mother's side.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt on this and take it as a joke. Nobody can be that ignorant.

Of course you haven't. Everyone discards the Scripture about God's love for the Jews and the fact that they are the nation He created especially to bring Christ into the world. Everyone takes it upon themselves to judge God's people. It's not hatred. Really.

So what are Christians then? We accept Christ while they do not, yet they are chosen? I takes "hate" to ask this?

They are chosen. If they die without knowing Christ as Savior, they go to hell. They lived for 2000 years without their own country, being persecuted and hunted and slaughtered because of their stubborn disobedience and their rejection of their Messiah. They are the most despised group of people on the face of the earth.

They are still chosen. Not because of them, not because they are somehow magical, but because of God and His faithfulness for the eternal covenants He made with Abraham. They are loved by God, not because of them, but because of Him. And He has loved them through all the centuries of disobedience and rejection and unbelief and the day is coming soon when He will remove the blindness from their eyes, and they will realize what they have done, and they will come back to Him.

And, it is still none of our business. This is God's affair and the only thing we need to know is that they are the apple of His eye, and we are to love them. The time is coming, after all, when the Gentiles will no longer run the show and the Jews will be extremely esteemed people.

That day is on it's way.

AH! So they have departed from God? How could they be "brought back" otherwise?

Yes, they have departed from God as they have throughout history and God will bring them back to Himself as He has throughout their history.

It's difficult to reconcile calling oneself a Christian yet harboring hatred toward His people and rejecting what He has said about His love for His people and His plan for His people.

Something maybe to pray about.
