Yeshua, a Jew, who preached only to Jews, was followed only by Jews, thought of himself the Jewish Messiah, came for everyone? Nope, that's sure as hell not what he thought at least:
"In the New Testament,
Jesus only preaches to a Jewish audience. Geza Vermes describes the mission of the 11 apostles to preach to “all the nations” (Matthew 28:19) as a “‘post-Resurrection’ idea.” After the crucifixion, the apostles began to champion a new faith in Jesus and the ranks of the Jesus movement (known as “the Way” at the time) swelled to 3,000 Jewish converts. At first, these followers were distinctly Jewish, following Mosaic law, Temple traditions and dietary customs."

Listen asshole, I was born into a Catholic family. Baptized a Catholic; Confirmed as a Catholic; spent 8 years in parochial schools; been to well over a 1000 masses; was an alter boy and I have a very good understanding of the message of Christ.
And to infer Christ favored one group over another, is in direct contrast to the spirit of HIS message.
Love thy neighbor
Love thy enemy
The story of the two rooms
Christ was a man of peace and love. Anyone who accepts HIM, will be saved.
And for the sake of argument, if HE did choose, HE wouldn't choose a bunch of arrogant assholes, walking around like their shit don't stink!
Thank you

The two Great commandments on the Love of God and Love of humanity (to love God with all our heart mind and soul, and to love our neighbor as ourselves) means with unconditional love and forgiveness as we want as well. As we forgive the trespasses and faults of others, so shall we be forgiven our faults; our relations can be healed, and we can receive true love and wisdom from God for the highest good possible. Forgiveness opens the door to receive this greater love, understanding and truth that unites, heals and frees all people.
These two commandments are fulfilled and joined as one
in Christ Jesus (representing the embodiment of Universal Justice) who gave us
a NEW commandment in John 13:34 that we love one another as HE has loved us.
In Christ Jesus, the spirit of Restorative Justice fulfills and joins the laws and love of God
with the laws and love of man as ONE in spirit, in perfect harmony, reconciling by correcting all errors resolving all conflicts and righting all wrongs.
So this process of receiving Jesus or perfect Justice, embodied in mankind on earth, completes the idea of loving one another with GOD'S love which is perfect,
unconditional, universally ALL inclusive. God's truth God's love does NOT leave anyone out.
We are called to love in this way, to CARE for each other's souls,
and not wish for a single soul to be lost, as God's love and will is not for anyone to be lost.
This is a high calling, where all humans by our limited design fail to be perfectly unbiased, unconditional and equally inclusive towards all others. None of us include all people equally, we always have our biased toward our families, people we agree with, people we know, like and care about more than others.
Human love is not perfect.
So this is why we pray and unite in Christ to enable God's love to guide us
that is GREATER than our selfish love that would favor one person or group over another.
Together, as a church body, we can be perfect. Our biases will balance each other out.
What one person hates another person loves, so we can cover all people and groups equally
as God would have us to do.
So we must forgive our differences so that people of other groups and priorities can do the work we cannot do.
And likewise when they forgive and quit fearing and rejecting us, we can reach people they don't want to deal with either.
The church, the people can be united in perfect harmony and balance.
None of us individually is so universally perfect that we are going to love and treat everyone equally.
But together, collectively, we can achieve that perfect state of lasting justice and peace.
And this is the message of Christ Jesus or Restorative Justice that will be established among humanity on earth by resolving conflicts, making peace and uniting in AGREEMENT in the spirit of truth.
The truth that shall set humanity free from conflict, strife, suffering, poverty and other ills.
We shall overcome. In Jesus name/for Justice sake, Amen.
