Nuggets from “Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations” by Dave Hunt

That God loves all mankind does not contradict His choosing of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, from whom the Messiah would descend as a man. Indeed, it was precisely because of His love for all mankind that the eternal Son of God came to this earth as a man: “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” (John:3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
See All...). For the Messiah to be a real man in order to represent mankind in paying the penalty for the sins of all, he had to have human ancestors. That Jesus was a Jew does not mean that they are superior to all others — they are simply God’s chosen people through whom the Messiah would be born. Some ethnic group had to be “chosen.”

The Jews had to live somewhere. God gave them a definite land, and in that land are bound up people and events in fulfillment of definite prophecies that give us the absolute proof of the existence of this God, who loves all, and of the Messiah, who would be born into that land, descended from these people, and who would be man’s Savior. Reject these facts and you have rejected the only salvation God has for mankind and have declared yourself an incorrigible rebel without hope for eternity. Furthermore, to close one’s eyes to the distinct and important differences between Islam, Judaism, and Christianity is once again to reject God’s salvation. It is rebellion of the rawest kind to call Islam an “Abrahamic faith”! In fact, it is the clearest rejection of the faith of Abraham that could be conceived!
