Because Jews take advantage of Christians any and every way they can. They hide behind their "God's chosen people" nonsense, and Christians let them. Newsflash to my Christian brothers and sisters here. The Jews of the world today are NOT Hebrew. They are European, and they adopted the religion for the sole purpose of screwing Christians over. Wake up.
Don't get me wrong. I believe people have the right to believe whatever they want. However, no one should get a blank check to do whatever they want all the time, simply because they claim to be "God's chosen people."
Exactly. God's people are those in Christ. There is no Jew or gentile, only the church (those that are in Christ) and the world (everyone else including Jews that reject Him)
I think that point needs to be better fleshed out. I got piled on for sugguesting it and tbh I'm not entirely sure either way. There are verses in which Paul seems to allude to the literal, blood-lineage Hebrews (all 12 tribes, not just Judah), still have some special part to play in things. There are other verses though which seem to annul the difference between them and gentiles, as long as both parties believe in Christ.
Yes but what I was leaning towards iirc, was that the Hebrews spear-headed the union between God and man (which was lost in Eden), and the gentiles followed suit, and we (who believe) are all now essentially one body. "Grafted into the vine"
.
"...will make your descendents as numerous as the sands of the sea"
How would this be possible if it were limited to Hebrews only?
Are gentile believers in Christ not now descendents of Abraham, who believed God, since we too believe God?

Study the Abrahamic Covenant. God made an unconditional, eternal covenant with Abraham, and it can not be broken.
