So, what do Christians think? Does this viewpoint reflect how you view you, your faith, and
your Scriptures?

Originally posted by NemesioMy understanding is, the Jews are God's chosen people, and in all respects are preeminent to Christians. The only reason we are able to join in on the party is because God's chosen people rejected their King, and He poured out his grace on us (the Gentiles) in order to make the Jews jealous. If they had not rejected Him, then Christ's reign would have begun 2000 years ago. But, of course, as it was foretold, the Jews rejected the Messiah and began the age of grace. All men are equal in the eyes of God, though their ranks may differ, and the Jews are preeminent in God's plan, even though they may not have believed in Jesus Christ (yet).

"All men are equal in the eyes of God"
What is it like to think in blatant contradictions?
Are you trying to say that the Jews are like the pigs in Animal Farm?

Originally posted by epiphinehasLet's see if I can make an analogy here. You have two kids. The parent says to one "you are both my children, but I love him more. He is the 'chosen' one." At a later time, the "chosen" one goes through a rebellion of some sort and the parent rethinks this arrangement and tells the rebellious one that he loves the other one better because you have rejected him and made him feel badly.

It's crappy parenting.

Ms Coulter should speak for herself. It's utter rubbish.
