Denigrating the Jews will have dire consequences as they are still God’s chosen people


God’s chosen people are Israel, which is comprised all people who are in Christ, regardless of whether they are Jew or Gentile.

if one rejects Jesus Christ as being sent from the Father and His sacrifice for sins on the cross, they ARE NOT God’s chosen people, regardless if they are Jew or Gentile.

The "church" has not superseded Israel. And those who teach it an those who believe it have a huge surprise coming. The promises made to the nation of Israel were for all time.

That's biblical ignorance at its finest...

Eph 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Eph 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Did Jesus flip the Gentiles into Israel to make another old man??? The scripture tells us not...Some of Israel were from the Jewish old man and put into Christ...Some of the Gentile from the Gentile old man were put into Christ...To make ONE NEW MAN...

Jews were taken out of Israel...Gentiles were taken out of the World and made into 'one new man'...CHRISTIANS...NOT a new Israel...

Jesus did not show up to build a church...Jesus showed up to bring the physical Jewish Kingdom to Jews...The Jews rejected Jesus...THEN Jesus told us he was going to build a church...For Jews...And Jews only...

They were the adoption...They would be adopted AWAY FROM ISRAEL and put into Christ...They would no longer be identified as Israel, but Christians...

Rom_9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

It was then revealed to Peter that Gentiles would be added to this 'adoption'...And it was later revealed to the apostle Paul that HE was the one who was going to bring this about...

Along with the other apostles, Paul was going to put Jew and Gentile into the body of Christ...

Rom 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

If what you claim is correct, it would be just as accurate to claim that saved Israel became 'spiritual' Gentiles...For there is no difference...This spiritual Jew or Israel nonsense is just that...Nonsense...
