Why does the bible say jews are gods chosen people when christians claim god loves all equally?

Answer 1

Theres an excuse for everything if you give someone enough time and text.

Answer 2

God loves everyone. The Jews were chosen to spread Gods word but I don't think they did the job well on those days. But God's grace and love are for all otherwise He would only save the Jews and destroy the rest of the gentile world.

Answer 3

Christians claim that god loves all equally, but their god deep-fries everyone except Christians anyway. To complicate matters further, many Christians view other Christians as "not Christians", so they get fried too. Then there's the "God loves the sinner but hates the sin" business. Of course, the "sin" is everything certain Christians don't like (ie. lesbians), and in such case both the sinner and the sin end up in the roast. However when it's something like adultery, then only sin goes to hell but the sinner goes to heaven. Well this is generally for Christians and not all are so of course.

Answer 4

It's true, God loves all of his creations equally. But they aren't zombies because they have been given the power of choice. The power to decide for or against God.
In the book of Acts the way of salvation was opened to the Gentiles (non-Jews) and God adopted them into his plan of salvation, making them full fledged members of his family.
The Jews are still his chosen people who will be the priests who minister to God in heaven. At least those who accept his plan of salvation.

Answer 5

To be "chosen" does not necessarily mean to be righteous. From their very beginning as a nation, they have been used by God to demonstrate the truth of His word in both blessing and cursing. They inherited this "chosen" status because Abraham was a chosen vessel. All that they have experienced historically has been predicted in the Bible. Naturally speaking, they are the greatest physical sign in the earth that there is a sovereign God in control of the universe, that the Bible is true and is His authorship. The scattering of the Jews throughout all the nations, their persecutions, their regathering as a nation and restoration to statehood, are all "signs" that God's word is faithful. They were the chosen family to bring forth the Messiah to redeem mankind.

The Church is also a chosen body of people in the earth. Jesus said, "I have chosen you out of the world" (John 15:19). The Church was chosen and ordained to perform spiritual signs in the earth:


"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:17,18).

Natural Israel is a natural sign, spiritual Israel (Church) is a spiritual sign. Both the natural seed (sand) and the spiritual seed (stars) are fulfilling their purpose in the earth. They are as parallel beams of light who, through the prism of God's work, will be bent into the same destiny of the KINGDOM. God has committed Himself to both of the seed of Abraham; Christians and Jews.

Answer 6

the jews were called chosen because they were 1. first chosen to receive the word of god and preserve it, and
2. they were chosen to be the people that would bring the messiah to the world.

Being chosen and being loved are 2 different things.. god loves everyone.

Answer 7

This is one question God alone can answer. If I may venture a guess it is that the answer may be because Jews believed in only one God during a time where the predominant belief was in multiple 'gods.'

Answer 8

i've got on no account heard of this faith you talk of. i've got faith that the path to all morality, information, and enlightenment is the path of actuality. how are you able to be certain what's tue in case you haven't any longer have been given wisdom? Do you pluck wisdom out of skinny air? I particular desire no longer, because of the fact it may be extremely chaotic and could lead you off beam. Google is a gadget for getting access to counsel, no longer an infallible scripture. It behaves extremely like the Bible, in that that's crammed with fallibility and contradictions. maximum of what's chanced on on line is organic baloney, it takes perplexing artwork, acceptance of purpose components, and utilization of logic and reason to come across what's sensible for information. bear in mind the words of Winston Churchill: "A lie gets midway international till now the fact has of undertaking to get its pants on." Google did no longer create the Universe, so i don't have faith it qualifies for the identify of 'God'. God •the supernatural being conceived because of the fact the suited and all-powerful and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe

Answer 9

when GOD chose to revel himself to man HE picked a man named Abraham. Out of Abraham came the Hebrew Nation.
Hebrew meaning He who crossed over the Eber river.
It was to be through the Hebrew Nation that all nations would come to know GOD.
God loves the obedient child, no matter where HE is GOD doesn't look upon the disobedient child.
The difference between the two being those that believe and those that have rejected HIM.

Answer 10

the 12 tribes of israel are his chosen people. not the jews. a very prevalent mistake. though commonly called/believed to be his people, they are not. though they claim are. they claim they hold/obey YAHWEH'S statutes, and law(most do). they are just the people who inhabit the land at this moment. they are of a different lineage. this is something i wont get into right now. it would be to long an answer.

Answer 11

The Jews were His first choice. Many of them rejected Christ so He opened His plan to Everyone.
