In the eyes of God, all human beings are the chosen people

If we believe in the oneness of God, the God who created the heavens and the earth, the God who created all of mankind; I hardly believe this just God would ever differentiate between his creations. He chose mankind as his vice sergants on earth and they will be judged by what they do; their actions and their deeds!
A long way of saying I love how Eyeranian depicted this!! Great work.
There was yet another guy, alas not a rabbi, who said the Jews were the the source of all misery and blood between all nations. I` malso sure tha you like what he said even more (if you are honest with us and with yourself.)
Although you might be thinking you are criticizing Judaism, in fact you are only asserting a Jewish belief:
Rabbi Lord Immanuel Jakobovits, former Chief Rabbi of the United Synagogue of Great Britain (Modern Orthodox Judaism), describes chosenness in this way:
Yes, I do believe that the chosen people concept as affirmed by Judaism in its holy writ, its prayers, and its millennial tradition. In fact, I believe that every people - and indeed, in a more limited way, every individual - is "chosen" or destined for some distinct purpose in advancing the designs of Providence. Only, some fulfill their mission and others do not. Maybe the Greeks were chosen for their unique contributions to art and philosophy, the Romans for their pioneering services in law and government, the British for bringing parliamentary rule into the world, and the Americans for piloting democracy in a pluralistic society. The Jews were chosen by God to be 'peculiar unto Me' as the pioneers of religion and morality; that was and is their national purpose.
yes! I hope it does become reality in everyone's mind. We're all special, none more than others, and the earth is our sacred place that we need to start treating with respect.
hahahaha

I could have given you far worst quotations...
by Nader on Tue May 20, 2008 04:47 PM PDTHowever, it is not my intention to put down jews or the Judaism.
My aim is at "ZIONISM!"
So you see my friend, I am honest with myself.
I`m suer you do.

And another Rabbi said:
by Nader on Tue May 20, 2008 04:07 PM PDTThe idea that God chose the Jewish people leads to racist beliefs among Jews, and thus must be excised from Jewish theology.
I like this one better than the one posted by Zionist. I mean Zion:-)
All are chosen
