I do, and I am a Christian, though not a Jew(it's also a nationality). Some say that the nationality, not the religion, is God's people, and some say God's chosen people are sons of Abraham, spiritual wise, in other words--Christians. I'm not sure yet, because Revelations says 144,000 of the Jews will get a special place on the new Earth, but I think they will be Jews by nationality and Christians by religion. Great question by the way!

IN RESPONSE TO ADDED DETAILS:
Jewish IS NOT just a religion!!! It is a NATIONALITY. Just like Egyptians, Irish, and Canadians. It's NOT just a religion. So a Jewish person CAN BE a Christian. Therefore if it is correct that the Jewish PEOPLE are God's chosen PEOPLE, then that doesn't necessarily mean they practice Judaism. But like I previously said: I believe that Christians are God's chosen people, because they are spiritually son's of Abraham. (No offense intended, I'm just trying to explain myself)

I am a Christian and yes the Jews are God's chosen people. When Christ died He opened salvation up to all, not just the Jews. The Bible says we are engraved onto the vine, in other words we, not being originally of the faith, are now consider as being a part of it. We have the completed works of Christ to show us that there was even to to the faith than the Jews at the time Knew.
Christ is that completion of faith.

It has nothing to do with Creed, and everything to do with blodline.
As a RACE of PEOPLE the Jews Were Chosen, not by the Creed they practice.
We know That thier claim is legit because ir was the JEWISH race That produced the Messiah. Not the whites. Not the Blacks. Nor Latins nor Asians. Nor indian nor Arabs. JEWISH blood brought about the redeemer. Clearly they were Chosen. As the Church is engaged to Christ, so the Jews are already married to the Father.

Here is what the Bible has to say. You decide.

Ga 3:8 - The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."

Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Yes, God definitely chose the Jews out of all the nations of the world to be His people. But God's plan had been to bring the Gentiles to Himself as well. The Messiah to come was for both Jews and Gentiles: "I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles" (see Isaiah 42:6, speaking of the Messiah to come). When the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah, God chose to graft the believing Gentiles into the Jewish vine. The purpose here is so that the believing Gentiles will provoke the Jews to jealousy so that they will come to their Messiah: "But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles." (Romans 11:11--see the whole chapter)
So, to succintly answer your question, yes, and because they follow the Jewish Messiah Jesus, who Judaism does not acknowledge as Messiah.

Yes, Christians know that the Jewish People are God's choosen People. It says so in the Holy Bible. Jesus was a Jewish person , so being He was from the Jewish ancestory, the tribe of Judah, then this is why God calls them the choosen ones. Jesus was so special, and so His Ancestory is too. The Jewish People do practice Judaism. There were the twelve tribes of Isreal. I don't know which one my Biblical Tribe is. I hope I do belong to the tribe of Judah. We all descend from those times. The Jewish People do practice Judaism. Good question.

Yeah, they do. The Bible says that God has blessed the Jews. According to the Bible, God will bless those who bless them and curse those who curse them. God also made many promises to the Jews concerning their prosperity. God says that, if Israel obeyed Him, he would "bless" them "in the city" and "in the field." They would prosper at everything they put their hands to. If, however, they decided not to obey God, he said that they would be cursed in the city, and cursed in the field. If the cursed ones were to attempt to, say plant crops, the heavens would be as brass to them, and no rain would come on their crops. So, yeah. Christians believe that the Jews are God's chosen people.

The reason Christians are Christians, however, is because of a disagreement between Orthodox Jews and Christians. In the Old Testament, there are many prophecies concerning the Messiah, a figure who would descend to Earth and redeem humankind of all of its sin. Because of the New Testament, the Christians believe that Jesus, the Son of God, is this Messiah, who, because of his crucifixion (He had to be crucified; cursed is he who hangs upon a tree is what the Bible says), redeemed humankind. Jews, however, do not believe this. They think that Jesus was simply a rabbi, but not the Messiah. Because of this, the Orthodox Jews don't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, but Christians do. That's the major difference between Christians and Orthodox Jews.

The Christians also believe something else. Jesus said that he didn't come to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. He is referring to the laws of sacrifices that Jews used to observe, concerning what to sacrifice for forgiveness of sins.

Christians believe that Jesus’ death fulfilled the laws, meaning that they don’t have to be observed anymore. Because of this, Christians no longer observe the feasts that would normally be held by Jews on Sabbaths, and they no longer sacrifice animals for forgiveness. They also do not have to go through elaborate ceremonies in the presence of God. The Jews, however, believe that these laws are still in effect, and they observe them. The observation of these laws would be a significant part of Judaism. Because of this, Christians do not practice Judaism.

i believe contained in the religious Israel chum, consistent with Scripture:-) Peter describes those “which in time previous weren't a human beings, yet are actually the folk of God” in those words: “yet ye are a chosen technology, a royal priesthood, an holy u . s . a ., a unusual human beings; that ye ought to shew forth the praises of him who hath spoke of as you out of darkness into his remarkable mild” (a million Peter 2:9, 10). right here is the hot u . s . a . which replaces the rustic of Israel. The Gentiles who will receive the actual Messiah now enter into the hot Covenant, ratified by using the blood of the flow, and become the actual religious Israel of God. They who weren't God’s human beings become His “holy u . s . a ..” Will they receive the precise same supplies that have been given to Abraham’s descendants? certainly, the Bible says that they are counted because of the fact the incredibly seed of Abraham. “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs in accordance to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Paul makes it even clearer in Romans 9:8. “They that are the little ones of the flesh, those are no longer the little ones of God: however the little ones of the promise are counted for the seed.” back, Paul wrote, “For he's no longer a Jew, that's one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, that's outward contained in the flesh: yet he's a Jew, that's one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the midsection” (Romans 2:28, 29). be conscious that actual Israel would be characterised by using circumcision of the midsection and not of the flesh. what's coronary heart circumcision? “Ye are circumcised with the circumcision made with out arms, in putting off the physique of the sins of the flesh by using the circumcision of Christ” (Colossians 2:11). Don’t omit the importance of that textual content textile. in simple terms because of the fact the previous Covenant replaced into represented by using the reducing off of the actual flesh, so the hot Covenant could be exemplified by using the reducing off of the fleshly nature of sin. In different words, all who settle for Christ and are born back are the incredibly circumcised and the sole actual Jews. And in accordance to Paul in addition they'll inherit the ensures made to Abraham.

Not true Christians. By Jews do you mean the people of the tribe of Judah or Jews the Kenites?

Remember that Judah is one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel after God changed his name).

I recommend that you do a study on who the Jews are and who Judah is so you can answer your own question with intelligent.><>
