I always here this story about Jews being god's chosen people, so I don't understand why any Christian would waste their time in their religion when they can join god's chosen people and religion.

Just because a person is born a Jew, doesn't mean that he is part of God's 'chosen'. The 'chosen' are decendents of 'Issac', Abraham's 'chosen' son. We Christians, recieved the gift of adoption,(chosen).

The Jews are God's chosen human beings yet they're non secular pluralists, they don't have any problem in accepting that God makes covenants with different human beings. For the Jew, the Gentile ought to easily shop the 7 noahide guidelines to ascertain God's windfall because the noahide guidelines were made for all of mankind, a covenant with really all and multiple.

This is a really strong subject for some one to ask. Many people will be offended by this. But the fact is that not everyone believes this and will disagree with it. Everyone has there own religion and their own way of following God. But I have to say it is the same God everyone is following no matter the religion. Christianity isn't fake, if it was then every other religion besides for the Jewish religion would be fake as well. But why single out Christians? No one is at fault here nor are they wrong in there opinion. That is why it is an opinion. I really hope you get the answer you are looking for.

The Jews are the first of God's chosen people, his "firstborn". As with all firstborns they would lead the rest of the nations to God.
The Jews, as can be seen through the history in the bible, proved to be a fickle people and God Himself sent down His son to not only show the way for the Jews but for all humanity as well. All the prophecies about the messiah in the Old Testament point to Jesus, so to be a Christian is to be a fufilled Jew.
Hope that helps somewhat. God bless.

Yes indeed the Jews are the chosen people,and Christianity is the offshoot or branch ,but as the Jews as a people have not as yet accepted the Messiah,they are not as yet realized Gods plan for them,and so untill this happens Christians would be heretics to adopt Judaism as it stands.

Sorry. You would'nt understand. You would have to know what the Bible means by "chosen" and Gods purpose for "choosing" them. It is much too long a discussion for this venue. Also, the very fact of you using the word "fake" indicates that you do not understand anything about christianity. It indicates a pre-supposed bias. One other thing, real christians do not practice a "religion". Real Christianity is a Relationship. You are in a state of what Jesus refers to as "spiritual blindness". In other words, even if He explained it Himself, you would not "get it". "If you do not understand me when I speak to you of earthly things, how will you understand me, if I speak to you of Heavenly things. You must be born again (first)".---JESUS CHRIST

Although some Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah, Christians
and Messianic Jews recognize that He was and worship HIm.
Nothing fake about worshipping the true living Son of God.
Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - then you will understand,
my friend.
Shalom

There are some Jews that believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and there are some Jews that don't. As Christians we know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and we worship Him. The Bible tells all about Jesus Christ in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

The whole point of Jesus dying, is that all people who believe in him are gods chosen, not only jews.
It was only jews until Jesus came.

Well, did God send His Son to die for the sins of Jews alone or for the sins of the world?
Let us look to John 3:16 for the answer.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Through the sacrificial death of His Son, God has made it possible for lowly gentiles like myself to join His great family. Thank God for His undeserved mercy.
God bless.
