Originally posted by twhiteheadIt's been stated well already, but I think the Bible is clear that the Hebrews/Jews were chosen by God from all the peoples of the earth to display his purpose for the whole of humanity. I don't see any disparity between the OT and NT in this issue.
Over in the science forum, I stated that Christianity teaches that the Jews were chosen by God (and I called it racist).
Zahlanzi tells me that this is an old Testament teaching and thus can be dismissed - and implied that it is commonly dismissed by modern Christians, though he didn't really specify and statistics.
Its the first time I am hearing this, so I would like to know whether any Christians here agree with him?
