The answer is unequivocally no and I will not be lectured by an atheist on this topic. Those who are in Christ, regardless of ethnicity, are part of Abraham’s seed. Those who deny the son, regardless of ethnicity, do not have the Father. Galatians 3:29, 1 John 2:23 Romans 9:6-7 states “For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children.” In Romans 11, Paul uses the metaphor of an olive tree. The natural branches (Jews) were *broken off* because of unbelief, and wild branches (Gentiles) were grafted in. Yet there’s hope that the natural branches can be grafted back in ONLY if they accept Jesus Christ—who is the root. (Revelation 22:16) The Old Covenant was completely fulfilled and rendered *obsolete* with the destruction of the Temple in AD 70, as indicated in Hebrews 8:13. This marks a transition to the New Covenant, which is open to all through faith in Jesus Christ No one who rejects Jesus Christ has any covenant with God simply because of their ethnic background. “God’s Chosen People” initially referred to the Israelites but has now been expanded to include all who believe in Jesus Christ, irrespective of ethnic background. This is based on passages like Galatians 3:28-29, which emphasize unity in Christ regardless of ethnic distinctions. What are God’s people chosen for? The answer in both the new and old covenants is simple: Jesus Christ. You can’t reject Him and be part of God’s Chosen People. Period.
