Who else gets offended and find it racist when Jews claim to be 'God's Chosen People'?

Question

It would appear that Jews and their sympathisers can say and claim whatever they want, but the reverse is true for the majority Gentiles.

Answer 1

Why do you get so offended? Let them believe it. Heck, Muzzies think that they'll get major sex after death if they murder. That's pretty offensive.

Answer 2

Don't you think any religion believes they are the chosen people? I know that is the claim by both Christians and Jews "God's chosen people are the Jews", but I mean figuratively. If a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Wiccan, etc, didn't believe they had the right religion why would they be in that religion? So no. I fully expect any religious person to believe they have it right and others have it wrong. It is what religious people do with that certainty that is important. Fortunately, most people can see that free will is more important than oppression and submission. There are Christians, Jews and Muslims that don't see that and there's the problem.

Answer 3

Every country, town, and city in the world has different cultures, religions, and beliefs. It is close-minded people such as yourself that believe anything that goes against 'your God' is racist. Have you forgotten that Jesus was Jewish? If God wanted to have chosen people doesn't it seem that he would make his son that of what he chose?
Other than that I suggest you do some religious research into Judaism. Here is something to get you started.

In Judaism, chosenness is the belief that the Jews are a chosen people: chosen to be in a covenant with God. This idea is first found in the Torah (five books of Moses) and is elaborated on in later books of the Hebrew Bible.

Answer 4

CHRISTIANS and muslims both know God's promise to Abraham was real, and that God's word is immutable. That is why mohammed has been trying to wipe out all the Jews ever since the promise was made, that is why Hitler tried to kill all the Jews, that is why Achkmydinnajab in Iran wants to kill all the Jews.. Put simply : The spirit of anti christ will try to attack Jews every way he can until Christ's return.... Then he will be tossed into the lake of fire forever...

Answer 5

I am not offended by the Jewish claim to be God's chosen people. It has been said so in the Old Testament, but the prophecies of the Old Testament have been fulfilled. It is the era of the prophecies of the New Testament we are now in and there we are ALL God's children. Every religion, denomination has its own unique set of beliefs and ideologies.

Answer 6

That claim was made two thousand years ago. It was meant as an answer to the Pharoahs. It does not apply today, unless the Jews are refering to those ancient times. So relax! Jewish people accept all religions.

Answer 7

Every Civilized citizen of the world (including many Jews)

Answer 8

Not me, if someone tells me they believe they're the chosen people that's fine. As long as it doesn't get violent or ridiculous whatever. I'm a firm believer in freedom of belief. As long as they don't decide they don't need anyone else or start becoming anti-social.

Answer 9

Why should I get offended? All religions claim to be God's chosen people. And they're ALL wrong!

Answer 10

I do not get offended. I'm a christian and have my own set of beliefs. The only ones I believe would get upset are muslims or other people who do not respect other peoples religious beliefs.

Answer 11

I do not and given their history, being one of God's Chosen People does not seem to be the easiest row to hoe.
