>>> God is on the side of his Church, which is the true Israel, the people of God. Read the bible.

If you had read the bible yourself, you would know that God does not break covenant.

I cannot be counted among God’s “Chosen People”, because I am not Hebrew. I am however counted as a member of the body of Christ (or His church) because I have received Christ as my savior, and profess Him as Lord.

Those among God’s “Chosen People” who DO recognize Jesus as the prophesied messiah and call Him Lord ALSO become brothers and sisters IN Christ with me.

Please understand what you are talking about.

How odd that you assume I haven’t read the Bible.

No, God doesn’t break his covenant. The Savior is not a break of the Covenant; it’s the Fulfillment: Abraham rejoiced to see His day. Our Lord could not have been more clear that all who hear the Gospel — Jews and gentile alike — are faced with the decision of acceptance or rejection. Many Jews did accept the Gospel and were baptized, becoming a new creation in Christ. Many others — like the elder brother of the prodigal son — did not, refusing to “enter the house”. John warned them of the disaster that would overtake them. So did Jesus, repeatedly. The Jews who rejected the Gospel were cut off; they were driven from the master’s vineyard and receive no portion of the inheritance. God loves the Hebrew people and has not forgotten them, but the role they play in the plan of salvation is more hidden and mysterious than you suspect. At the end, Esau must accept the gifts offered by Jacob. That is his only hope for reconciliation.
