Jews do not believe that Jesus is God's son, if jews are the rightful people of God, isn't the version of the bible you are reading contradicting its'self? I mean, christians believe that the only way to God is through Jesus, right?

When the bible states that the Jews are God's chosen people, it means that this is the line of people that God chose the Messiah to be born into the world through. God is not a respecter of persons. This means he does not regard anyone person over another. He loves us all the same. The Jews thought that God was sending a warrior to over throw the Romans (Israel's oppressors). They did not realize that the purpose of Jesus' coming was to save our souls. There are no contradiction in the bible. The Bible is God's inerrant word. Which means that God is not a person that he should lie.

In the Old Testament the Jews are said to be God's Chosen People. Jesus WAS a Jew. The first five books of the Bible are the Torah (or Law). This is the Jewish "Bible". In the New Testament, or Gospel, Jesus says that we are all God's children.
There are many different religions that do not believe in the Christian or Jewish "God". I don't think that this means that they are all going to hell. There are many different paths to "God". The important thing is to find one and stay on it.
Buddhists and Muslims are not going to hell just because they have different scriptures that they read and they call "God" by another name. They have a "Higher Power" also, and they are devout religious people that live by strict spiritual standards. They are just on a different path.

The King James is a contradiction of the first magnitude! According to the King James: Jesus was a rabbi. Jesus was a jewish teacher. Jesus' parents were jews. And even the Christian image of Jesus on the cross has the letters I.M.R.I. above his head. Those letters are short for a latin phrase that means "King of the Jews".

Yes. God choose the Jews and the Jews choose God. It is a contract that will be in place as long as there are Jews.
Jesus was a Jew; Jesus was the Jewish Messiah (Christ).
At this I remember you read the Holy Scriptures (First five books for contract details) and the New Testament (Gospels).

No, the children of Israel were the chosen people, and now it is whoever accepts Jesus as our Savior.
The Jewish religion and the tribe of Judah are two seperate things. Jew can mean geographical location, as in "in or from Judea", it can mean of the tribe of Judah genealogically as in of the bloodline like Jesus himself was, or it can mean of the religion that Jesus condemned.
If you are living in Judea, you might be called a Jew but your bloodline might be Native American or Russian. The point is, God made a covenant with the bloodline of Judah and the other tribes of Israel ~ and NOT with those calling themselves "Judah" or Jew by geographical location or religious practice.
Read Revelations 2:9 and 3:9 and see what the two churches Jesus found no fault in had in common, and you will know where he stands. :o)

Yes,but since Jesus came, we are under a new covenant. Not saved by religion or keeping the laws...Jesus is the way and the truth and the life, and no one will go to the Father's House except through Him...not even Jews.

The bible is a book of mythology.
(Saul of Tarsus) "St. Paul" began claiming Gentiles are the chosen people after he was thrown out of Palestine for claiming Jesus is God.

Yes it is true. There still are Messianic Jews out there. Everyone else was included in the "chosen people" when Jesus died for all.

Jews are decendents of Judah who was one of twelve sons of Jacob (who changed his name to Israel back in the day). Jacob was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. Abraham was highly favored by Jehovah (God) and was promised that through his lineage 'all the nations of the earth would be blessed'. Christ was to come through Abrahams seed. So to answer your question, all of Israel are Gods chosen people (Jews included), but all who take upon themselves the name of Christ, regardless of their lineage are numbered among the Lords covanant people. To answer your other question, the house of Israel IS coming to Christ in fulfillment of prophecy. When Christ returns, Jewish people who are looking forward to the first advent of the Messiah, will see the prints of the nails in the Lords hands and feet and will know then that Messiah had already come.
