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).

HuH? The Jews were a nation chosen by God for a specific purpose..to bring about salvation to fallen men.

He did not chose any other people.. He chose to save a man that was the son of an idol maker, a pagan and from his loins bring about the nation of Israel.. it was not happenstance.

deut 7:The LORD set his heart on you and chose you, even though you didn't outnumber all the other people. You were the smallest of all nations.

They were elect for a specific purpose. When the time was full the nation of Israel gave us the Savior..

He used that nation to show His glory through and make His name great in all the world..

That was the purpose of their ordination as His people.. among those people were an elect people that would be His adopted children..
