I have a tremendous amount of respect for the community here. I am thankful for the civility also. With that said, I would like to include the following for consideration.
God loved the Jewish people so much that He made His only begotten Son one of them. Jesus was the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophets and the covenant God made with the Jewish people. The Son of God wasn't born to change the old covenant, but to fulfill the covenant.
Hebrews 8:8-13
“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord,
When I will effect a new covenant
With the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers
On the day when I took them by the hand
To lead them out of the land of Egypt;
For they did not continue in My covenant,
And I did not care for them, says the Lord.
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, says the Lord:
I will put My laws into their minds,
And I will write them on their hearts.
And I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.
