israel after the flesh are not Gods chosen people Rom 9:8 !
Bs"d
God chose
ISRAEL:
"For you are a people holy to
J-H-W-H your God;
J-H-W-H your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession."
Deut 7:6
"Although heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to
J-H-W-H your God, the earth with all that is in it, yet
J-H-W-H set his heart in love on your ancestors alone and chose you, their descendants after them, out of all the peoples, as it is today."
Deut 10:14
"For you are a people holy to
J-H-W-H your God; it is you
J-H-W-H has chosen out of all the peoples on earth to be his people, his treasured possession."
Deut 14:2
"But now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen! Thus says
J-H-W-H who made you, who formed you in the womb and will help you: Do not fear, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my spirit upon your descendants, and my blessing on your offspring."
Isaiah 44:1
There are many more passages like this, it is clear that Israel is chosen by God.
Chosen for what?
"Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites.”
Ex 19:6
Can this chosenness be temporarily, or can it be taken away from the Jews?
Thus says
J-H-W-H,
who gives the sun for light by day
and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—
J-H-W-H of hosts is his name:
If this fixed order were ever to cease
from my presence, says
J-H-W-H,
then also the offspring of Israel would cease
to be a nation before me forever.
Thus says
J-H-W-H:
If the heavens above can be measured,
and the foundations of the earth below can be explored,
then I will reject all the offspring of Israel
because of all they have done,
says
J-H-W-H.
Jer 31:35
This is like the days of Noah to me:
Just as I swore that the waters of Noah
would never again go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you
and will not rebuke you.
For the mountains may depart
and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,
says
J-H-W-H, who has compassion on you.
Is 54:10
If Israel sins, will God break the covenant?
When the Jews go astray God will punish them. "But if you will not obey me, and do not observe all these commandments, if you spurn my statutes, and abhor my ordinances, so that you will not observe all my commandments, and you break my covenant, I in turn will do this to you: I will bring terror on you; consumption and fever that waste the eyes and cause life to pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. I will set my face against you, and you shall be struck down by your enemies; your foes shall rule over you, and you shall flee though no one pursues you." (Leviticus 26:14-17) And if they then still don't listen, God will punish them seven times harder: " And if in spite of this you will not obey me, I will continue to punish you sevenfold for your sins. I will break your proud glory, and I will make your sky like iron and your earth like copper. Your strength shall be spent to no purpose: your land shall not yield its produce, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit." (ibid :18-22) And if they then still don't listen, God will punish them another seven times harder: "If you continue hostile to me, and will not obey me, I will continue to plague you sevenfold for your sins. I will let loose wild animals against you, and they shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock; they shall make you few in number, and your roads shall be deserted." (ibid :23-24) And if they then still refuse to turn back to God, He will punish them another seven times harder: "If in spite of these punishments you have not turned back to me, but continue hostile to me, then I too will continue hostile to you: I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins. I will bring the sword against you, executing vengeance for the covenant; and if you withdraw within your cities, I will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into enemy hands. When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in a single oven, and they shall dole out your bread by weight; and though you eat, you shall not be satisfied. (ibid :27-28)
But despite all this, God will not break His covenant with the Jewish people: Leviticus 26:44-45; "And yet for all that, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My covenant with them: For I am
J-H-W-H their God. But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am
J-H-W-H."
"Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying: The two families that
J-H-W-H hath chosen, He has even cast them of? Thus they have despised My people, that they should no more be a nation before them. Thus saith
J-H-W-H: If My covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: for I will cause their captivety to return and have mercy on them."
Jeremiah 33:24-26
So is God a respector of persons?
"I have loved you, says
J-H-W-H. But you say, “How have you loved us?” Is not Esau Jacob’s brother? says
J-H-W-H. Yet I have loved Jacob but I have hated Esau;"
Mal 1:2
“And now, Israel, what does
J-H-W-H your God require of you, but to fear
J-H-W-H your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve
J-H-W-H your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of
J-H-W-H and His statutes which I command you today for your good? Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to
J-H-W-H your God, also the earth with all that is in it.
J-H-W-H delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day."
Deut 10:12
Apperently, He is.
In the subject of Israel being the chosen people, the NT clearly contradicts the Tanach.
Since we agree that the Tanach is the inspired word of God, since we all know that the Tanach existed long before the NT came around, therefore, when the NT contradicts the Tanach, we have to discard the NT as being false.
"For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of Y-H-W-H our God for ever and ever.".
Micah 4:5
