Does the Bible teach us that Jewish people are a of unparallelled, hopelessly corrupt people ?

Question

Few people have had as much attention from God as the Israelities yet the story of their history as accounted in the Old Testament is one of God and his many prophets contiunuouly having to bring the people back into line. Even the wisest of their kings Solomon committed adultry and murder.

Yes, I'm aware they were or are called the chosen people, but chosen for what?

Answer 1

The Bible wasn't written so you can judge others, it was written so you can learn to judge for yourself what is right and wrong and learn from others mistakes.

Answer 2

The bible teaches that every human is born sinful. Eve gets the blame for that. There is a focus on the jews in the bible because the old testament is basically a written history of the jews and they feature prominently in the new testament because Jesus was a Jew, as was John the baptist, Mary and Joseph, the Apostles and many other holy people in the bible. Jesus was a Jew, he had a circumcision and a bar mitzvah, and was brought up with all the Jewish teachings and rites a young man of the time went through, keep that in mind.
Besides your mistaken if you think the adultry and murder that goes on in the bible is unparallelled by other peoples. Its pretty much universal.

Answer 3

Yes the bible teaches the Jewish and the gentiles (the heathen) are corrupt and hopeless "Isaiah said, "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have each gone to our own way and the Lord will make to light on Him (the Messiah) the iniquities of us all." Isaiah 53 in his chapters 5&6 Isaiah met God personally, he knows the deal.

I am born and Bar Mitzvahd Jewish and read the Jewish scriptures which include the books written by Jewish believers in the Messiah called the promised New Testament too. Jeremiah 31:31 I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, not like the one I made with Moses, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

we are the chosen people not any better than any other person yet, we were chosen because we were the least of all nations at the Bible says, we were chosen to be given the law and the prophecies of the coming Messiah too. Jesus came as a Jew and fulfilled the law and the prophets for our Jewish people and all peoples. Yet as promised "He will be made very high but first he will be despised and rejected and we will hide our faces from Him. He will lay down his life to make atonement/forgiveness for our sins." Isaiah 52:13-53:12

True Jewish people believe and let the Messiah Jesus into their heart, they have the greatest hope and the power to live uncorrupted. Others claim to be Jewish and reject the prophecies and await another Messiah.

Answer 4

The important thing is that Israel is Everyman. The Jewish nation is a symbol of all Mankind. Everything we see happening in the Bible has happened, and will happen, literally or symbolically, among all people for as long as this Earth endures. The Bible is like an encyclopedia of human existence.
The Jewish people are neither better nor worse than anyone else. They were granted a Revelation from God, but this was a privilege, not a right; and of course, every nation has had some kind of Revelation.

Answer 5

They were not chosen for their righteousness nor for their powerfulness. (Deut. 7v7-9, 9v5-6)
They were initially chosen because they were the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deut 9v5)
Abraham which means father of many, was chosen as he was faithful to God and was promised he would be the father of many nations, but primarily his children would be through the line of Isaac. (Gen. 21v12, Romans 9v7)
This is something the Muslim disagree with, but there is no evidence the ancient Hebrew (original Jewish language) writings have been altered.
They were given the law through another man Moses and this showed how God demanded all people to live holy before Him. (Deut 5)
The law though demanded sacrificial lambs to be offered through which the people's sins could be atoned for in an elaborate annual ceremony. This all stopped after the fall of the second temple (AD70) and the time of the rejection of the Jews from Israel (AD132). Some believe, they were promised to be able to return, as has happened, and in the New Testament it speaks about the Jews as a nation repenting and becoming followers of Christ Jesus. (Romans 11v25-32)

Answer 6

The Bible is an instruction book from our Creator Yahwah God to us.
HE IS the Author and the prophets and apostles were the writers by inspiration from God.
The ancient nation of Israelites were a stubborn and stiff-necked people, otherwise prone to do what they wanted and so were having to be corrected on numerous occasions.
In Jesus time, many Jews did believe that he was the promised Messiah that all the prophets wrote about and they were baptized into that belief. On two different occasions there were about 3,000 and 5,000 who became baptized and believed.
As for the rest of the Jews at that time, they rejected Jesus, the Son of God and killed him and so God rejected them and opened up the Way for everyone to gain eternal life.
So now, it doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, God is waiting for everyone, everywhere to repent and refashion themselves according to God's righteous requirements for salvation.

Answer 7

No, it does not teach that. Jesus and all the discipiles were Jewish. We get the Word of God from the Jews. We get the Law and the Prophets from the Jewish people. My Bible says they are the apple of God's eye.

Answer 8

In case you didn't notice, your question is among the highest ranking in stupidity.
The Egyptians subjugated the Israelites and they were punished for it. That's pretty much all you hear of the Egyptians. So, while there were many great Jews, all you hear of the Egyptians is evil, wouldn't that make the Egyptians the worst?
Jesus Himself was born to two Jews!
Get a life and stopping trying to make the Christians sound bad.
The Bible says ALL men are evil- not just Jews. And we all know men are evil. Take Hitler for example.

Answer 9

Romans 11:
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
"The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is my covenant with them
when I take away their sins."

Answer 10

See Rev 2:9 and Rev. 3:9. The word "Jew" is from Yahudim which means "worshipper of YHVH".

Answer 11

Do you really think that all people are the same just because they share the same ethnicity, And hasn't it been like 2000 years since that book was written, Back then Jew's were black soo.......
