Posting Scripture IS posting TRUTH in love. It is not drive by posting.

Israel is God’s chosen people. That has not been rescinded.

If you think it has been rescinded or that Israel is no longer God’s chosen people, state where in the Bible that occurred; book, chapter, and verse.

All the nations of the earth have indeed been blessed through Abraham, the fulfillment of which is in Jesus, the seed of Abraham.

I don’t regret posting Scripture to support my view.

There is nothing else to regret because I didn’t tell anyone what I was thinking.

It is if you can explain how it supports your positions. Otherwise it's just a drive by.

Now, perhaps you can explain how Gen. 12 is speaking of modern Israel as opposed to Abraham, the father of many nations.

I'm sure. When will you start?

I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew.

But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!

You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable."
--Romans 11

Israel is God’s chosen people.

Israel of the New Testament is not a physical nation, it is the invisible nation of believers in Jesus Christ, regardless of race or origin of nation.

God Bless
