Man I wish I was a Jew, to be one of Gods chosen people, WOW.?

Question

Is it a coincidence that the bible was written by Jews, the same bible thats exhaults Jews?

Answer 1

First off the New Testament bashes Jews.

Second off the Torah (the Old Testament) is from G-d.

Lastly have you read the five books of Moses? I see far more criticism then exalting. Also do you actually have a clue what being chosen means?

Answer 2

I would like to pose a question to you. Are the Jews truly God's chosen people after they refused to accept Christ as the Messiah? Is it possible that the chosen people according to the New Testament is now those that accepted Christ as the Messiah regardless if they are Jew/Gentile? I do not find that the New Testament is so flattering to the Jewish people. I also find in the Old Testament one story after another where God was angry with the Jewish people for disobeying God. Some Christian Religious Leaders have involved themselves so much in this question about "Chosen People" for example Rev. John Hagee, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas they are bordering on teaching what is called "Two Covenant" or "Dual Covenant" salvation which is strictly contrary to New Testament Scripture, but they need a way to justify that the Jews are going to heaven regardless if they accept Christ or not, because they are "Chosen". "Dual or Two Covenant Salvation" states there is a salvation plan for Jews and another for Christians.

Answer 3

You have it backwards. God did not choose the Jews, the Jews chose God. Anyone can convert but Judism is one of the few religions that does not actively encourage conversion. You will never find them on your doorstep at suppertime trying to get you to listen like some other religions.

Answer 4

I pity the Jew who doesn't come to Jesus.
There is NO dual covenant and the only way to the Father is through the Son.

Answer 5

Just convert, but say bye bye to pork.... oh and any foreskin you may have, but you wont miss that nearly as much as sweet delicious pig.

Answer 6

So study hard, work with a Rabbi, and convert. That is what I did. Just remember, he will keep turning you away at first, but, if he sees you really mean it, he will work with you.

Answer 7

I pity the fool who told Mr.T he needed to be circumsized.

Answer 8

I know that would be awesome I think.

Answer 9

Jesus, who also was a Jew, said this:

Mat 3:7 And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them: Ye brood of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?

Mat 23:29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, that build the sepulchres of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the just,
Mat 23:30 And say: If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Mat 23:31 Wherefore you are witnesses against yourselves, that you are the sons of them that killed the prophets.
Mat 23:32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Mat 23:33 You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?
Mat 23:34 Therefore behold I send to you prophets and wise men and scribes: and some of them you will put to death and crucify: and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city.
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the just blood that hath been shed upon the earth, from the blood of Abel the just, even unto the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom you killed between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Amen I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
Mat 23:37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered together thy children, as the hen doth gather her chickens under her wings, and thou wouldst not?
Mat 23:38 Behold, your house shall be left to you, desolate.
Mat 23:39 For I say to you, you shall not see me henceforth till you say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Joh 8:42 Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me.
Joh 8:43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Joh 8:44 You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Joh 8:45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
Joh 8:46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
Joh 8:47 He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
Joh 8:48 The Jews therefore answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a devil?
Joh 8:49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father. And you have dishonoured me.
Joh 8:50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Joh 8:51 Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
Joh 8:52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
Joh 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
Joh 8:54 Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
Joh 8:55 And you have not known him: but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him and do keep his word.
Joh 8:56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it and was glad.
Joh 8:57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old. And hast thou seen Abraham?
Joh 8:58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM.
Joh 8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

Does this sound flattering to you?
