Bible Question: Since the Jews don't accept Christ, are they still his chosen people? |
Bible Answer: Dear Bdilbek, I guess it depends on who you mean by Jews. If you mean Israel, Paul gives us the answer in Rom 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; Well then, who are the true Israelites if being born one does'nt make you a "true" Israelite? Paul answers again in verse 8:"it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." But who are the "children of promise" that Paul says are the "true" Israelites? From looking back on the history of Israel we see that many and probably most were continualy scorning Jehova God in favor of the false god's of their pagan neighbors. Do a word search on "remnant" and see if it will provide you with the answer. God Bless, John |
