That's a good reference: So, what is done to branches that do not abide in Christ?
Here is the full reference:
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned."
So are you claiming that only non-Jewish branches (I mean, Jesus is talking to an audience that is exclusively Jewish) are thrown into the fire if they are not in Christ? So this was a story told to Jews that has nothing to do with Jews?
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,
Of a truth I perceive that
God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.”
Acts 10:34-35
“For by one Spirit are we all baptized into
one body,
whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into
one Spirit.”

“Is he the
God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of
the Gentiles also:”
Romans 3:29 KJV
“For there is
no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”
Romans 10:12
“how that by revelation he made known unto me
the mystery; , which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is
now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:”
Ephesians 3:3, 5-6
“But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of
God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
but unto
them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon
every soul of man that doeth evil, of
the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the
Jew first, and also to the
Gentile: for there is
no respect of persons with God.”
Romans 2:5-11
“For I am not ashamed of
the gospel of Christ: for it
is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Jacobs descendants being special is not part of the new testament .
“and
think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that
God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.”
Matthew 3:9 KJV
Gods people and Abraham’s children are found here.
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:26-29 KJV
Christian’s are Abraham’s children whether they were a Jew or a gentile by thoer flesh it’s
meaningless
only faith in Christ matters now and identifies us to God . An Asian descendant of mau if they hear the gospel and respond in belief , they become a child of Abraham and hiers of the eternal promises of God in Christ Jesus our lord
