I left out the important part. In my example your foreknowledge reveals that your children, and keep in mind we are talking about adult offspring here that are capable of making autonomous decisions regarding what’s right and wrong, are doomed to death. Even worse than death, they are doomed to an eternity of slavery and torture. Only your love and wisdom can save them because you know a path they can take to save themselves. You sacrificed your life providing that path. Yet they are more concerned with their current pleasures than the doom that is coming to them. More concerned about their own personal pleasures and vices than acknowledging you and what you’ve done for them. Not only did you give them life, you are now offering them sanctuary from certain death. They are not thankful, they are selfish, they want life on their own terms even though you created them for a purpose and gave them instruction on how to reach their full potential but they refuse to partake.
We say that us believers are chosen but in reality we are doing the choosing. God just knows what our decision will be. We choose ourselves over God at our own peril. This is a reality that nobody will escape. Choose Jesus and have everlasting life. Or don’t and go to hell, everyone is responsible for themselves. We all live and die by our own choices.
There’s always the simplest explanation, God chose to come to the world and present himself as a human and when He did, He chose a Jewish body. Was never trying to scare you fren only present truth to you. The oldest and most historically accurate book we have teaches what I have spoken to you. Truth can be scary to the ignorant. Maybe He knew the Jews were the most Capable of keeping record of the history of God’s interaction with man until He sent the Holy Spirit to interact with us. Have a Happy Resurrection Day! Numbers 6:24-26
My children carry my DNA regardless of whether agree with me or do what I say. This is quite a revealing analogy you put forth.

Sorry, you're not going to scare me into joining your religion. I'm not afraid of death or hell or God or the devil.
My original question was about Jews being "God's chosen people", and your response didn't really answer that.

God’s chosen people… Romans 9:1-13 NKJV. My words have failed to describe this. Read from the source itself.
