- My answer :
- Good reading !
- When I read the Bible, I want to tell what I learn like a fire which never stops !
- I have heard so many times that the Hebrews were a special people !
- How is it possible to say that ?
- How is it possible to be so blind ?
- And I am not speaking about individuals because there are such incredible examples of faith in the Bible, it is hard to believe when we see what’s on today !
- It is the same with Job !
- How is it possible to speak against Job thinking as if he was living today ?

Regarding the Hebrews being a special people, of course they are. The Bible is filled with that truth. You need to read Romans 11, or the whole Bible for that matter.- My answer :

Here are some facts for you to think about. 1) Jesus was a Jew. 2) The entire Bible, with the sole exception of Luke's gospel, was written by Jews. 3) The church was founded by Jews; Gentiles came in later.
How is it possible for you to be so blind?
- My answer:
- Thus this thread has the appropriate name!
- Individuals vs the majority!
- Individuals are different from the majority!
- The majority is the same through man’s history!
- If we read carefully the Bible, God has a special relationship with individuals not with the majority!
- The Bible shows us that only individuals are faithful servants of God!
- If you listen carefully to Jesus, he says he has never seen the faith he sees with non Jews compared to Jews!
- You can read the Torah!
- You can read Joshua!
- You can read Judges!
- You can read Samuel!
- You can read Kings!
- You can read Chronicles!
- You can reads Daniel’s prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem!
- You will always get individuals vs the majority!

I have no idea what you're trying to say. The Jews, a.k.a., the Israelites are God's chosen people. Romans 11:1a, " I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means!"- My answer:

The book of Exodus alone proves the principle of God's people. Here are just a few references...
Exodus 3:10, "Now go, I am sending you [Moses[ to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
Exodus 5:1, "Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Let my people go, so that they may celebrate a festival to me in the wilderness.”
Exodus 6:7, "I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you from the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus 7:4, "When Pharaoh does not listen to you, I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my people the Israelites, company by company, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment.
Exodus 8:1, "Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: Let my people go, so that they may serve me."
Exodus 8:23, "Thus I will make a distinction between my people and your people"
Exodus 9:1, "Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, so that they may serve me."
Exodus 9:13, "Then the Lord said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: Let my people go, so that they may serve me."
Exodus 9:17, "You are still exalting yourself against my people by not letting them go."
Exodus 10:3-4, "So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of the Hebrews: How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may serve me. For if you refuse to let my people go, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country."
...
Exodus 15:13, "In your steadfast love you led the people whom you redeemed; you guided them by your strength to your holy abode."
Exodus 15:16, "Terror and dread fell upon them; by the might of your arm, they became still as a stone until your people, O Lord, passed by, until the people whom you acquired passed by."
...
Exodus 19:5, "Now, therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine,"
So, that is just a selection. There are many ither places in the Bible where clearly and obviously, God has a relationship with His people, not just individuals.
Of course, in the New Covenant, Christians -- believing Jews and Gentiles -- are God's people.
Romans 11:1-2a, "I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. "
Romans 11:11-16, "So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their stumbling salvation has come to the gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. Now if their stumbling means riches for the world and if their loss means riches for gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!
Now I am speaking to you gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle to the gentiles, I celebrate my ministry in order to make my own people jealous and thus save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; and if the root is holy, then the branches also are holy."
Romans 11:11-16, "So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? By no means! But through their stumbling salvation has come to the gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.

Clearly, your claim that "If we read carefully the Bible, God has a special relationship with individuals not with the majority!" is totally false.
- My answer:
- First do you remember what happened with the golden calf (Exodus 32 specially verses 7 to 10!
- God wants to eliminate Israel and they only escape destruction because of Moses who calms God but they will pay a high price!
- You can have a second look at Deuteronomy 9!
- Second let’s have a look at Numbers 13 and 14, when 12 spies are sent into Canaan!
- Once again God wants to destroy completely Israel and make a great nation out of Moses!
- And once again Moses saves Israel but all will die in the desert and only the youngsters will get into Canaan!
- And Joshua and Caleb who were among the 12 spies!
- And God prevents Israel to get rid of the Canaanites to test them and to use them against Israel when they rebel!
- Third, in Judges, Israel gets all the time in trouble because they commit spiritual prostitution against God!
- And each time, God gets a savior to save them but when he dies, they go away from God again and again and again…!
- Fourth, in Samuel they reject God as their king and they ask for a human king!
- And it will only get worse and worse!
- Fifth, Jerusalem was destroyed twice!
- Sixth, have a look at Daniel’s prayer of confession in Daniel 9 and God’s answer about the restoration of Jerusalem and its DESTRUCTION!
- It seems to be we are not reading the same Bible!

We are both reading the same Bible but only one of us is reading with understanding. God has not rejected His people.
You are preaching anti-Semitism!
- My answer:
- Maybe English is not clear enough!

- Maybe our discussion will help people to understand!

People do indeed need to check for themselves. They can start right here: Romans 11:1-2a, "I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew."- My answer:

That is perfectly clear! God has not rejected His people!
Judges Chapter 9
- After the death of Gideon, one of his sons Abimelech proposes to his brotheres to rule over them!
- So they give him 70 pieces of silver!
- He uses the money to hire men and kills all his brothers with one stone except Jotham his youngest brother who hides!
- Then Jotham speaks to the leaders of Shechem!
- He asks them if they acted sincerely in making Abimelech king taking into account what his father did for them!
- Because Abimelech’s mother is Gideon’s slave girl!
- Then Jotham flees!
- And Abimelech rules over Israel for 3 years!
- To avenge the killing of Gideon’s sons, God lets hostility develop between Abimelech and the leaders of Shechem!
- Then they fight together and Abimelech killed all the men of Shechem and destroys the city!
- But when Abimelech attacks the city of thebez!
- There a woman throws a millstone on him and crushes his skull!
- And he asks his attendant to kill him so nobody can say a woman killed him!
- So the attendant kills him!
- Then all the men of Israel go back home!
- Finally God repays Abimelech and the men of Shechem for the evil they had done!
- Thus even if it takes time, God always repays those who do evil!
- When you go against God, he will repay each one according to what he did or not!
- Once again we have a warning!
- When time arrives for God to repay those who deserve it, it is no time to cry or weep!
- And it happens so many times till God finally rejected Israel!
- Remember Daniel’s prayer for the restoration of Jerusalem in spite of its mountain of sins against God!
- And God’s answer: THE RESTORATION OF JERUSALEM AND ITS DESTRUCTION!
