What verses are you referring to?

God slew many within the nation, and preserved many within the nation. He did not treat Israel as a unit, but dealt individually with the individuals within it.

While Moses was leader, God slew many Israelites, and preserved many Israelites. He did not deal with Israel as a unit. He dealt with them individually according to their individual faithfulness and obedience, or individual unfaithfulness and disobedience. As He always has.

Yes. The elect in the diaspora. Christians. https://biblehub.com/interlinear/1_peter/1.htm 1588 [e] Eklektois Ἐκλεκτοῖς To [the] elect Adj-DMP

If you can demonstrate that your understanding of the Greek language is superior to that of more than 40 unanimous translators, I would wish to see such a demonstration.

As shown Scripturally, God covenants only with individuals of faith and obedience. Since Calvary, they are those found in His Church, and nowhere else.

He's changing its applicability, as the OT priesthood is replaced by the NT priesthood of the Church. The grammatical referent of "ye" in 1 Peter 2:9 is "ye" in 1 Peter 2:5, and "ye" in 1 Peter 2:5 is unequivocally the Church. Peter's letter is addressed to all Christians in the mentioned...

Peter refers to Exodus 19:6 and applies it to the Church in 1 Peter 2:5,9.

Yes, and it is the true Church which is the nation which bears the referenced fruit of the Kingdom.

I'm completely confident that the collective dedication and scholarship of more than 40 unanimous translators far exceeds your own.

Not limited to his kinsmen, but inclusive of all Christians in the churches of the mentioned regions. 1 Peter 1 1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 1 Peter 1:1 Greek 3927 [e] parepidēmois παρεπιδήμοις...

But there were those who did. Romans 11:11, 11:12, 11:22 "Fall" in the previous verses is applicable exclusively to Israelites. There is no reason to believe that "fell" is not also applicable exclusively to Israelites. It's not, as shown previously. True. Exactly what I've been saying.

No. A nation does not have a mind. It is mindless. But its individual citizens each have a mind capable of mindfulness. God does not covenant with mindlessness. He covenants with mindfulness born of faith and obedience. If God had treated Israel as a unit, then He would have either slain...

Here's what Paul tells you: Romans 11 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them...

It was nullified for those whom God slew because of their transgression of it, through unfaithfulness and disobedience. God does not covenant with the dead. It was not nullified for those who remained faithful and obedient to Him. Which He was and is for all who were and are faithful and...

It was given to a nation. The Church. Matthew 21 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 1 Peter 2 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should...

Yes indeed. Unfaithfulness and disobedience, which were transgressions of God's Covenant, were indeed "something wrong". God's punishment for those transgressions was death. Being "His people" did not spare them. You've claimed that God's punishment was irrelevant. That is manifestly false.

What do you not understand about the question?

What had they done that necessitated punishment?
