Nope. Jews and Christians are not the same. Jews believe in one G-d. Christians worship a man, a bird, and old man. You can't turn worship of a man into Judaism, no matter how much you obfuscate. And you can't make a missionary minister into a rabbi. Never..

A lot of the first Christians were Jews. Jews without Jesus are just as lost as anyone else.

No Christians are not inwardly Jews. God original promise was to the Jews who were/are His chosen people. But since Jesus came, bled, died and arose again, we all have equal opportunity to God. May God Bless U.

Unless of course you happened to miss the return of Christ. If you didn't turn to the return then you miss the boat. Paul said that those who are cut off because of their unbelief are not true Jews and that you could be grafted in but not to laud it over the poor soul who still believes he is of the chosen. You can still be cut off like the original people who passed on their opportunity.

No. Where'd you get that?
We're the wild olive branch grafted in to the cultivated olive tree.
In agriculture the opposite is practiced. A wild root-stock has better hardiness and resistence to disease and pests. A variety that bears superior fruit is grafted on to a wild root stock, and is more likely to survive and produce better due to the sturdier wild root stock.
So the example given by Christ is bass-ackward to the practice in agriculture, but it does demonstrate the point that it's the stock that supports us, not the other way around.
As a matter of fact, in Acts 15:20-21, Luke presumed converted gentiles would go to a Jewish synagogue for further instruction in righteousness:
20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
KJV

I agree with Rose. In the grace of Christ, there is neither Greek nor Jew.
Jews are Jews, and the rest of us are not. We have been adopted into the family so to speak, but we cannot take anything away from Jews.

no.
sorry.
you are way off base.
although we serve the same God
we are not the same in God's eyes.
God has chosen to deal with Jews and gentiles differently.
the Jews are God's chosen people and have a special relationship with the Almighty.

Christians are Gentiles adopted into the family of God.
Once in Christ: Gal 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

The Jews are the elect. They are GOD's children. We gentiles are adopted through the Messiah.

YES, YES, YES YES AND AGAIN I SAY YES,
AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. But they are to the Jews as well as the Christians.
