How can we call the Israelis chosen people of God?

Question

Lets look at the 10 commandments, the guideline by which all Jews are obliged to live by.

"Thou shalt not kill":They kill hundreds of palistinians and Lebanese every week

"Thou shalt not bear false witness": they consistently lie about Palistinians in an attempt to demonize the Palistians, thus justifying their killing.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house or anything that is thy neighbours": The Israelis have coveted the land of the Palistinians.

"Thou shalt not steal": the Israelis have stolen land from the Palistinians and neighbouring nations.

"Thou shalt have no other Gods before me": The Israelis have put wealth, money and power befor their God

"Remember the sabbath, keep it holy": the israelis kill and plunder on the sabbath day.

So far they have broken 6 out of the 10 commandments and will break the other 4 soon, so how can we call them the "chosen people of God"?

Answer 1

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Answer 2

"Try some Koranic verses.. Koran says in 2010 Islam will be destroyed by infedials"
what version are you reading? This is like the rumor with "the land of the eagle will save the people of god" verse. I have never ever heard of anything like this. It's predicted that there will be many types of it (73 I believe) but never total obliteration (I am suni and hanafi, that might be why). Btw, isreali's are not "holy people". Just ask any orthodox rabbi, the holy land they reside in is against the Torah. It states that god will hand the land over. Lets see, they took it by force and did everything against their religion to obtain it. Yeah, I can say it wasn't given by god. In fact, in the latest protest against it (isrealies in isreal) mostly non-muslim showed up. Search it if you don't believe me. Btw I say quran, and using the word "infeidel" would be a slur for non-believer. Racism is not allowed at all in the religion, it is not taken lightly.

Answer 3

You miss the point. The Jews do not recognize the New Testament. Jesus was not the son of God, but only a major prophet, much like the rest of the Old Testament prophets. It does say in the Old Testament that the Jews were God's chosen people. In Christianity, when Jesus became the savior, those who followed Jesus were the new "chosen of God", replacing the Jews. Of course, since the Jews do not recognize the New Testament, they never got that memo.

Answer 4

We are not the ones that call Israelis the Chosen people of God- God did. He chose them & continues to chose them.
And Israel was in the Jewish people's hands long before the Palestinians- There were never any peoples known as Palestinians. That was a name from the Romans.
Remember the Exodus out of Egypt, in the Bible, when God led them to Israel.

Answer 5

Well, for starters, let's look at your misapplied word in "Thou shalt not kill. The Hebrew word quoted as "kill," is "ratsach" (Pronounced raw-tsakh') Strong's Ref. # 7523. It is a primitive root; properly, to dash in pieces, i.e. kill (a human being), especially to murder. The idea is "with malice aforethought," not killing in a war.

Now, we'll get to the root of your question. "How can we call the Israelis chosen people of God?" Easy. God said so.

"For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people..." (Deuteronomy 7:6-7)

And

"For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee." (Isaiah 54:10)

And

"For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." (Malachi 3:6)

Answer 6

Well, the people of Israel WAS the chosen people of God because they were the first people God has spoken to and gave them the 10 commandments. Even though God has spoken before to other Hebrews, but not to the People of Israel, hope you understand what I mean.

However, with time things have changed especially with Jesus Christ who practically marked the eras, since we count the years as BC and AD. At the beginning, Christianity was spread to the Hebrews only, but in time it was admitted than not only them are entitled to receive the Kingdom of Heaven, but also other people.

Nowadays, open-minded people, irrespective of their religion, are committed to live in harmony and tolerance and do hope in their salvation and forgiveness of their sins.

Answer 7

Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 5 "Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: 'Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. 7 Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.


Jeremiah 24:4-7

Answer 8

God, of the previous testomony chosen a guy or woman, Abraham and his spouse to artwork with. So God worked with ONE guy, in whom he stumbled on faith. Jacob/Israel is an instantaneous decendant of Abraham, and God places them forth as an occasion, no longer as a race, or a land base (with the aid of fact the international could decide so you might believe). occasion. Israel isn't a rustic, or a "specail" human beings. Israelites have been scattered over the face of the finished earth, and the call in basic terms represents the blood line of the previous testomony. people who're of the bloodline of Israel are presently unbelievers in Christ, and have rejected their very own King, as a result God gave their salvation to ALL others that could believe in Christ, the only begotten SON of GOD. whilst the word of God speaks of "his human beings" he's speaking of people who carry on together with his commandments.....So, in case you carry on with HIS commandments, then you somewhat too are Israel, and HIs cherished.

Answer 9

David broke 6out of the 10 commandments in sinning with Bathsheeba. Kill, bear false witness, covet, steal (wife), put other gods before (he put lust before God), and in doing this, he dishonored his parents.

He was called a man after God's own heart.

Answer 10

Personally, I do not understand why most people seems to be afraid to call it what it is.

They cannot be the children of God, they behave more like the children of the devil.

I'm sure even some Jews KNOW what Israel is doing is worst than evil.
