Question, why was a Remnant chosen from Israel if God is no bigot? If chosen by grace like the rest of the world, why was it mentioned that a remnant was chosen in Romans like it was in the book of Kings?
I understand the grace part but why Israel? why Jews? My take on is for God's plan. Isn't that what Paul is teaching us if we read the whole chapter of Romans 11?
One can't just take a remnant being chosen by grace out of the context of how it was used in that chapter. Read before and after God chose the remnant. See what happens next. See the ending of the chapter.
Why did God choose national Israel? It must have been something to do with his plan. Was Israel randomly chosen out of all the nations? Was Mary randomly chosen out of all the nations?
