Does it ever bother Christians, that the Jews are Gods chosen people?

Question

I mean we all know that the bible says that the Jews are Gods chosen people, Does it ever annoy Christians that God shows favoritism?

Answer 1

*rolls eyes* And the Christians think they're the chosen people. And the Muslims think they're the chosen people.

Do you know how stupid this sounds?

Answer 2

No.

Also the Ashkenazic Jews (which compromise 90% of the world's Jews) are not the Jews of the Bible. But Khazars who converted as part of the Khazar Empire to Judaism over Islam or Christianity in 740 AD. The Biblical Jews Shephardic and Mizrathi Jews who are the actual descendants of Abraham have mostly converted to Christianity or Islam. After all the sacrifices the Sephardi and Mizrathi made to honor God they (true ethnic Jews) deserve to be his chosen people.

Answer 3

God does not have favorites. Yes, according to Jewish and Christian belief the Jews are the Chosen People. However, Jesus was a Jew. He did not really come to establish a new religion, he came to reform Judaism. The Jews of his time rejected him and so he offered his teachings and salvation to the gentiles (non-Jews). Eventually Christianity became a seperate religion.

Answer 4

basically, Jews and Christians are conversing approximately 2 thoroughly different issues with the notice 'messiah'. And to be completely frank, the Christian one has no place in Judaism. on the very heart of Judaism is the incorporeality of G-d. G-d can not incarnate, develop into flesh, get women pregnant or *something* like that. The Messiah would be human and is to not be worshipped, G-d on my own is to be worshipped. The Messiah's initiatives do not incorporate 'salvation from sin' or something remotely like that. Christianity did not get those suggestions from Judaism. They have been given them promptly from Hellenic salvation cults, in general the Orphic, Eleusinian and Osirian mysteries. So of course you're perplexed. Christianity tries to envision doctrines and ideology which come from Hellenic paganism into Jewish texts. that's by no capacity going to artwork. meanwhile, the philosophical and formality foundation under which the theologies and rites of the secret religions progressed has been frequently forgotten. understand slightly bit that historic previous and it makes slightly greater experience.

Answer 5

I have no problem with it because by the blood of Jesus I've been adopted into the Family. So, now I'm a child of the Most High God. It doesn't get any better than that! Blessings.

Answer 6

Perhaps some but not me...the burdens of that role are far greater than the ones God placed on me. I greatly admire their willingness and ability to carry those burdens so faithfully for so long. If it ever bothers me it is because of what they've had to endure over the centuries as God's chosen people...I appreciate that God chose them to reach the world and I believe he'll reward them greatly for their service...but I wish is wasn't necessary for them to suffer so much to accomplish his purpose. Of course, we're to blame for that more than God!

Answer 7

My guess is no. Christians think Jews missed the boat. But then Protestants think Catholics missed the boat and they're both Christian sects.

Answer 8

No, seeing as how the Jewish temple curtain was ripped in half when Jesus died, removing the barrier between man ('gentiles') and God.

Answer 9

and does it bother both that god says in the quran that Muslims are the chosen ones?

Answer 10

In the New Testament, it says that there is no longer Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus.
