They were the chosen children, but God has opened the offer to all humans from all nations. That was always the plan
was it? then why did jesus himself deny that?
but the question remains. could the jews still be right? could christians and the followers of jesus have mistakenly elevated him?
or did the jews make a horrible mistake, and continue to make that mistake, and reject the messiah, the son of their god?
You dont know that they were told that they would reject their Messiah. Yeshua fits, and many Jews and Jewish scholars know and believe in Christ alone.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word with God, and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh (Yeshua) and tented among us (God in flesh)

I didn't say Jesus promised that, it's what's expected from the true messiah.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift sword against nation and they will no longer study warfare.
— Isaiah 2:4
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
— Isaiah 11:6-9
what if the jews were/are right?
follow me here for a moment.
both christians and jews say the o.t. is correct. they say that the jews were/are the chosen of god. then a dude named jesus comes along and suddenly 99% of the jews, even the most educated in the o.t., are wrong and he is the messiah.
so for thousands of years, the jews are correct about everything dealing with god, then they get it wrong.
but what if they didnt? what if they are still just as correct as they always were?
