Some people have the idea that Yahweh dealt only with Hebrews in the Old Covenant and thus He deals only with Hebrews in the New Covenant. Paul says that the called are, "Not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles"—what does Paul mean by this? Most see this as saying that God not only chooses some out of Israel to be vessels of mercy, but He chooses some from the Gentiles also.
There is a lot of confusion as to who the Gentiles are and as to who Israel is.
