If "Gods" So Loving?

Question

why does he think the jews and israelis are superior?

Answer 1

I am surprised that so many people actually believe in the holy books. Do you know who wrote these books? Humans. Some people meditated to such extents, that they merged with god. Other people called these people GOD and wrote down whatever they said and circulated the notes, proclaiming it law.

Its wrong. Everyone's bible is different. If someone is miserly, God will tell him not to be attached to money. If someone is a spendthrift, God will tell him to spend carefully. - How can u generalise this?

Build your own religion - read, analyse, digest, meditate, and then follow your heart. Because God speaks to you through your heart. Which is better, believing what other people wrote hundreds of years ago, or listening to what God tell you through your heart?

Answer 2

Actually I think its the Jews who think they are superior, not God. If God existed I suspect it would see no more difference between human religions than we see between two bees in a hive.

Answer 3

I assume then that you are calling the God written of in the bible God. If you read the biboe you will find that God never calls the children of Abraham superior, in fact there is a verse in which it is said that He, God, didn't choose them because they were anything but because they were insignificant people, to demonstrate his power.Then you have the bleesing given to Abraham which has all the nations in it,where it is said of Him who is called God, in you will all the nations be blessed, showing Gods love for all nations and that the plan for Israel was a plan for all.God then always had the nations in mind.

Answer 4

God never said that, nor does he think that. God made a covenant with Israel long ago. God doesn't break promises.

And with God "there is neither jew nor greek in the kingdom of God". Gentiles are not inferior, infact, there are more gentile Christians that jewish Christians. And the gospel was spread everywhere, it didn't stay confined within Israel.

Answer 5

If you are saying that God is not fair, I would have to agree with you. This is supported with his favor toward Israel, and through the concept of predestination and love for His own -- and only his own, according to Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and other verses that support this. If he could love Jacob and hate Esau, then the uncomfortable reality is that God does not love everyone.

Answer 6

How isn't that loving? But really it isn't so much about superior, but chosen. They are the first people that God made a specific people wide generation spanning agreement with. That isn't anything but loving.

Answer 7

That's what the Jewish bible says. Of course it's going to say that. It was written by Jews. What's it supposed to say, "Well, actually, Hindus are my chosen ones, guys. Sorry."?

Every religion's holy text says that their people are the most loved.

Answer 8

He favors them because their ancestors were the first to know Him and not reject him in order to follow false Gods. But superior? Where is that written? I forgot.

Answer 9

I doubt you speak from reading the good book - just trying to get the Christians stired up. I think the Jewish race is smarter than the Christian race as they really take care of each other.

Answer 10

First of all, it is God, not Gods. Although, I assume you meant: If "God" is so loving .

And he doesn't. That's one of Jesus's messages. Jesus opened up a new covenant that is for all people, not just Jews. God loves everyone equally.
