If Limited Atonement and Irresistible Grace were true, then either He should not have gone to the Jews (but He did), or they should have had to accept Him (but they didn?t).

God "went to the Jews" to show mankind that no man can keep the law perfectly and therefore all men need a Savior.

Has God closed their eyes or not?

That's pretty basic Christianity.

For my not so eschatolgically interested FRiends:

Rom. 11:25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

As far as the discussion of election goes the words "until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in" makes it clear that God has already determined who all the saved Gentiles will be.
