It matters because there is a tribe of evil people who are claiming our birthright, and tricking people into servering Satan (them) because of it.
It matters because if it didn't matter, it wouldn't be the entire purpose of the Bible. God loved Israel. Only Israel, He only knew Israel, His covenants were only with Israel.
I also would never try to convince someone to not seek Jesus, but the Bible says what it says, and we shouldn't pretend it doesn't because we don't like what that means.
It matters because if you were told you believed in error, you should want to correct that error.
>31 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
You know God because He chose for you to know Him, not because you chose to know Him yourself. It was predestined, and written into your heart. Nothing any of us accomplish is because of our own efforts, but because God allows us to accomplish it. This is no different.
