Chosen people?

[Jon_in_london]

How odd
of God
to chose
the Jews

W.N.Ewer

Right, lets see... God created all mankind but then he goes and choses one specific tribe? Why? What an odd thing to do! One way of explaining this is to say that Adam was not the first man but the first Jew. But then what of the pre-Adamites? There is no mention of them in Genesis?!

In any case:

"You are not my people and I do not exist for you!" (Hos 1:9).

:confused:

I have more than the faintest suspicion that it was the other way round entirely! The Jews chose God.

Pikachu, I choose you.

The promised land???? Sheesh...:rolleyes:


Someone carted off all the milk and honey, and no one even noticed...

I don't believe there's ever been a crueler god.

He made His own troops RE-circumsize themselves! And then sent them into battle.

The blood-curling screams of the approaching bowl-legged army must have frightened the enemy.

How about those Aztec Gods, they were pretty intense, they asked quite a bit of ritual sacrificing out of their followers...

I dunno. This is this the kind of God who will smash your entire city and turn your wife into a pillar of salt because your neighbors are all bad guests in your house.

To mention nothing of offering you daughters to them. Followed by subsiquent...

Eeewwwww....

Ouch! My Brain!

Lot was a pervert, let that be a lesson to his wife!

If I had raised my hand, could I have been chosen? I mean, it's not really my fault that I wasn't around at the time...
