Kathulos:
Well, for one thing, there is no indication that Jewish people are automatically saved by being born.
Agreed.
Kathulos:
There never was even in the Old Testament, where the Jews were even more easily called God's people.
The plan of salvation could be seen as being carried out through the Jewish people, culminating in Jesus. That doesn't make them more or less gods people, only that they were chosen to be the tool through which god would bring about salvation.
kathulos:
Furthermore, the Jewish people being Messianic in nature, (Once saved) are obviously more Jewish then they once were before being saved, because Jesus is not only Jewish but in fact the first Jew. God is Jewish, and being God, Jesus is Jewish.
This section is beyond me and needs more explanation. The Jewish people are only unique in that they are initially the vehicle through which god carried out his plan of salvation (mostly just by breeding), but beyond that they are exactly like any of the rest of us.
In short God picks the jewish people (for reasons unknown to anyone) to be a demonstration of what god is capable of, and to eventually birth Jesus (a jew) who will finalize the plan of salvation for the entire planet's population. I don't see any reason to read into the jewish population any role greater than that.
