>>247. We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for "the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable" (Rom 11:29).

That's Scripture, and it's true.

"The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity (cf. Rom 11:16-18)."

That's also Scripture, and it's true.

"As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thes 1:9)."
That's also Scripture, and it's true inasmuch as they are monotheists, and not pagans (idol-worshippers). Anyone --- Jew or Christian --- might be an idol-worshiper in that they or we worship the usual idols of wealth, lust, pride, self-self-self --- but in that respect, we are all (not just Jews) alled to turn from these idols and serve the True God.

"With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history, and with them we accept his revealed word."

That's true as far as the OT is concerned; the Jews do not accept His revealed word in the NT.
