[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Second, the jews didnt listen to Jesus for the most part. So even though he came as a human it didnt work for God's chosen people[/quote]
The descendants of Abraham, ie, God's chosen people, aren't physical descendants, but descendants by faith, ie, those who believe in Jesus. That is what Christians believe.

John 1

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome a it.

6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10[b]He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.[/b][/quote]

But in genesis and exodus they clearly were physical descendants. Also the other chapters of the old testament. All people God stayed with on earth with actual lineage connections deapite their flaws. Its a complete switch which both makes no sense that God would change like this and also kind of proves that God sending his son for his chosen people also doesnt make sense because it didnt work. God's chosen people who believed in him didn't believe in his son. [/quote]
