How can you be christian and say that Jews are gods chosen people, when the jews killed not only jesus, but tried to kill every prophet that came. If they are gods people then what does that make you.

Oh my heavens you are really wrong.
The whole salvation message is about how we put Jesus on that Cross by our sins. Not focusing on individuals who were there at the time. Shame on you for accusing the chosen people

Not all Christians say that. Some Christians hate Jews. Personally tho I wonder how anyone can be a Christian with a heart full of hate. I don't think a true Christian would. Some are Christian in name only. I think the Jews were God's chosen people for the Old Testament dispensation, and that Christians are supposed to be in the New. But that does not mean we should either hate or glorify the Jews. As for the Jews being killers, alas, some Christians are not much better. Too bad for them. Not all "professing" Christians will be saved in the end, but only those that DO Christ's will and obey his commandments.

The Jews at one point were not just a religion but a race of people. God chose to make the descendant of Abraham into a mighty nation.....and through them would arise a saviour for the world. Examine the new testament...salvation after the death and resurrection of Jesus was offered to the Jews first non Jews became Christians starting with the hosehold of Cornelius as recorded in Acts chapter 10.

I think you should study scripture. Christians know that Jews are Gods chosen because the Bible says they are, but Gentiles are also grafted in under the new covenant "There is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free...".
Also, Jesus wasn't killed...He gave His life away. Even if He was killed, and the prophets, forgiveness is a basic principle of Christianity.
Finally, God says that His anointing goes "without repentance", meaning He's not going to change His mind about it. The Jews are still His chosen people, even if they will not accept the gift of His Son.

The Jews didn't kill Jesus, an organized mob lead by jealous Jewish Leaders known as the Pharasees did that. It's like going to a Bush Rally and holding up a peace sign. Expect the crowd to do you in, because obviously you are NOT a Bush supporter so you are the Enemy.
That's how mobs work.
Christians have mobs. Go to an abortion clinic and you'll see the "peaceful" chrisitians doing some scarey things, some even shoot and kill doctors.
That's how mobs work.
A Mob Killed Jesus AND you have remember this was planned. IT was SUPPOSED to happen. God willed that JEsus die that day.
So the JEws didnt kill Jesus, Pilate didn't order JEsus Death, they were Tools of God.

God's Chosen....And You? After Christ died for our sins...Christians became the chosen of God...you could try reading the Bible..... Then you would not be groping around in the darkness for answers.... that obviously, you desire at this time....The Bible is the Most Profound Truth that was ever written and when people start believing and trusting in It's teaching , you can see that it is all still true and still applys to us today...the Bible is the Written Word of God and His Son Christ Jesus is the Living Word...and He loved us....enough to die for our sins long before we ever committed them.....How many other people out there are willing to suffer and die for you....? If you really answered that honestly...I would say that list would be pretty slim....John 15 : 13 Greater love hath no man than this,that a man lay down his life for his friends....(KJV) Jesus sent The Comforter back to us After He ascended into Heaven So He could help us through those troubling Questions...Listen to Him and trust Him...He will never guide you wrong!

Old testament: Jews are God's chosen people.
... then...
New Testament: Christians are the chosen people.
The New Testament didn't end yet, but the Old Testament ended with the New Testament. Jesus was a Jew... the people who killed Him only thought that they were true Jews; for if they were, they wouldn't have killed Him, but accepted Him as Lord... which would have made them Christians.

Saying the Jews killed Jesus is like saying that the Americans killed Kennedy...some Jews were complicit in Jesus' execution, but by no means all of them. The Temple leadership saw Jesus as a threat to the stability of Palestine under the Roman Empire. Threats were executed.

Well we can say Jews are God's people because GOD says they are God's people! This is the promise that God made to one man Abraham, that all the decenents from him through Issac, Jacob, and Israel, will be the chosen race to bear God's laws and his word and ALL of his prophets.
Just because they killed God's prophets and disobeyed his laws does not ever negate God's promise. His promise of giving redemption to all the decendents of Adam is fulfilled through the Jews because they produced the messiah! They rejected him just as the whole world , ( even'Christian' nations), rejects him!!

Because the Bible says the Jews were God's chosen people, we
all killed Jesus, Jesus died for us all. He loves sinners and hates
sins. The same as you God made us both and blew the breath of
life into all our lungs. God does not love one of us more than He loves another of us.

You have been reading the wrong books, and listening to the wrong people. Jews did not kill Jesus.Some jewish leaders had him killed. and they didn't try to kill any other prophets either. The only religious killings have been TO jews, not BY jews, right up til now with the muslims.
